Taifas

This is MUST try and WOW for authenticity of Moldavian cuisine restaurant, is nothing related with Romanian cuisine even if they pretty much the same based by name and preparation, any one looking for traditional Moldavian dishes with deep dive into childhood made by grandma with unforgettable taste and smell… Food-wise one of the best authentic restaurant in City of Chisinau, The most authentic delicious deserts, Prices-wise quite expensive but worth to pay for authentic food, Service-wise a bit disappointed, too much to wait to get served, what about service provided chaps are in slow motion they passing your table without paying attention on details that table must be cleared from empty plates and tea cups or taking order etc… But they definitely deserve for 5* if to improve waiters behaviour and attitude to pay attention to details.

Great service and welcoming, wonderful and lively atmosphere, the band is awesome. The food is delicious and very well made, quality ingredients and everything feels fresh. For a tasty Eastern European meal and a cute ambience and vibe, super recommended.

It was an amazing experience dining here! We didn’t have reservation and we got lucky to find a table, if you want to come for dinner you best reserve a table just to be sure! The food is amazing and the waiters are very kind! There is also live music from 7pm! Absolutely loved it!

The place offered a promising start with a wine tasting and a host dressed in traditional attire, which set a nice atmosphere. After a short wait, we were seated and ordered. The pie with cabbage, mushroom, and truffle was excellent, and the borscht with duck was flavorful, though it took over 40 minutes to arrive. The stuffed cabbage and vine leaves were just average, and the mamaliga was fine but not memorable. Unfortunately, the service was the low point. While the waiter was friendly, spoke good English, and smiled, he only came twice—once for drinks and once for food. Plates and cutlery from the appetizer were not replaced, and dirty soup bowls were left on the table as if we were expected to clear them ourselves. Overall, the food was decent, but the service needs significant improvement.

Wonderful kitchen and place itself. Best surprise - wine shot at entrance. Price probably close to medium $$. Kompot de fruit = our love, best drink ever!

Highly recommend for local food and atmosphere! I recommend also Moldovan wine. There was a band playing on Monday night, and everything worked well. My dinner with drinks cost €28.

If you are prepared to spend money, this restaurant will be an amazing experience. Either way, the decor is wonderful, as is the music and the overall ambience. Genius, even. Everything feels quite traditional. I only had a pie and that was fine. A bit oily and heavy of course. On their menu are so many more wonderful meals and desserts to choose. The staff were great, if maybe a bit gingerly on a Sunday afternoon.

Very nice place, the food was delicious, atmosphere also with traditional live music, quality drinks. Would go again for sure if I find myself in Chișinău.
