Mazel Tov

The atmosphere was divine. The live guitar was stellar. The live plants and trees added to the wonderful ambiance. The food was other worldly. The hummus sampler was excellent. The meat plate to share was enough for 3 1/2 or us. The chicken was incredibly spiced and cooked. The beet root salad was a whole new level with the addition of the cumin. Drinks were very yummy. And then topped it off with the Jerusalem Cheesecake. Wow!!! If in Budapest, you absolutely MUST make reservations and go. Well worth it.

Impressive interior! Very cute design. Never have seen anything like this. We enjoyed our dinner here: good service, tasty food, and lots of cocktails to choose from! They have a good wine menu too, including both cheap and expensive options. They were able to accommodate Gluten Free options: instead of pita they serve cucumbers that you can enjoy alongside with the traditional Jewish dishes like hummus and etc.

Mazel Tov – A heartwarming experience with incredible food and live music I didn’t make a reservation in advance (though I definitely recommend doing so!), but I must’ve been incredibly lucky — I just walked in, the line wasn’t too long, and after waiting maybe 15–20 minutes max, I was given a perfect table right in the center of the restaurant, next to the live musicians. Honestly, I couldn’t have asked for a better seat — the atmosphere was just magical. The waitress team was incredibly sweet, welcoming, and attentive, even though the place was almost full. There’s a live band playing, and the vibe of the whole place is absolutely beautiful — warm, alive, soulful. It truly feels like being welcomed into a loving, joyful family that actually cares how you feel while you’re dining. As for the food — it was delicious. Everything is halal, and I ordered the beetroot hummus and the cauliflower, and I was very happy with both. When I asked to take the rest to go, the waitress thoughtfully added a fresh, warm pita bread to the takeaway bag — such a nice and caring touch that really stood out. Despite how busy the restaurant was, the staff checked on me with a smile, asking if I enjoyed everything, and I truly felt cared for — even though I was dining alone. That says a lot. I would absolutely recommend visiting Mazel Tov at least once, even if Israeli cuisine isn’t your go-to — go for the atmosphere, for the music, for the soul of the place. It’s a rare and beautiful experience.

Delicious food, but the location itself is just incredible. Inside, everything is green — a beautiful oasis in the middle of the city. The portions are big, and the food was served fairly quickly, even though we came closer to lunchtime when it wasn’t too crowded. Be prepared to wait in line, as it gets quite busy in the evening

We had an incredible experience at Mazel Tov — everything from the atmosphere to the service was outstanding. The food was the real highlight: the duck breast was absolutely incredible — perfectly cooked, tender, and succulent. The lamb soup was rich and comforting, and the sous-vide chicken was juicy and full of flavor. Our server, C. Krisztián, delivered exceptional service — friendly, attentive, and made sure everything ran smoothly. Highly recommend Mazel Tov for anyone looking for standout Israeli cuisine and top-tier hospitality in Budapest!

Had a wonderful meal with friends here last night. The food was quite tasty and the service was outstanding. The mezze plate is great for sharing and extra pita is a must to truly enjoy it. The lamb soup got rave reviews from one of our dining companions. I thoroughly enjoyed the pastrami sandwich - not quite Katz’s deli pastrami, but the best I’ve had in Budapest. The shared meat plate was exceptional with very generous portions. Dessert is a must and we were not disappointed. My favorite was the cheesecake. Others enjoyed the pistachio offering. 5/5 - will definitely be coming back to try more menu favorites.

Absolutely delicious food. Very authentic but with a few twists. Especially amazing was the sourdough pita. This is a must visit place. The restaurant on it’s own is so beautiful but add in the food and service and you’ve got a can’t miss experience.

Was worried this place would be overhyped and touristy, but it lived up to the hype. We went for lunch and made reservation online so was seated immediately. Beautiful interior, kind service, and incredible food. Also highly recommend their flavored lemonades! So so good. We had falafel sandwich and shawarma sandwich with mezze platter. Labane was my favorite dip! L.Judit was our server and was so sweet and attentive. Great experience overall and would recommend to anyone.
