Tradition by Alex

Great mici, just like in Ardeal (Transylvania). Traditional romanian folk music, outstanding service, approved by a Hungarian!

The best Romanian food in all the UK. The food is clean, delicious, and the service is friendly and warm. As a Romanian visiting from Miami I felt that I was eating my mother’s food. “ Ca la mama acasă “

Was surprised to find that the reviews for this place were low. From my pov, I tried the sarmale and the pork stew. Pork stew, I was not a fan of as it tasted very “raw” and smelt like pork, however, I suspect this is just how the traditional dish is meant to be. The reason for the 5 star on food is that the sarmale is easily one of the best dishes I’ve had in my life. It is so simple, yet complex because of the acidity from the cabbage (not sure how it is marinated, but it is almost pickled), and the rich flavours of the rice and meat. It is well balanced by the yoghurt/sour cream. My only nit: perhaps a bit too much liquid. This was my first time trying sarmale, so there may be better options out there that I’m not aware of. But to me: this is solid comfort food that I would always be happy to get.

Delicious Romanian street food near Stratford high street. I tried the tripe soup and really liked it!!

Excellent food! Ask for their own made sausages, they're amazing. I usually also get sarmale (stuffed cabbage rolls) and mici (minced meat rolls) and was never disappointed. I'm a regular there and have been for years, love their food. Price is convenient too. Highly recommend!

Fresh & full of flavor, earthy Romanian dishes. Highly recommend for your lunch break, or for a well-deserved feast with your friends & family. Try it once, and you will always come back for more.

Cold fries, over salted hard to bite through pork, pretty good kofte but nothing special. I understand that January is the cold month and I might have stepped into this one myself eating outside

Wow, just tried the fries and koftas – they were as dry and cold as the Sahara in winter. Definitely a culinary experience worth forgetting.
