Great flavours - Edit
Big restaurant with two main rooms and lots of places. The night we ate they had live music. We tried the tofu stew but I wasn't a big fan of the smoky flavour. The zucchini and brown rice was absolutely delicious the sauce was very special. The ice tea was very good as well. Staff is very friendly and the kitchen is very fast. The Zserbó dessert was a bit strange flavour for me!

Food was nice, prices fair, place is outdated and overhyped - Edit
Well, the food was ok, prices were fair.. For that huge amount of reviews, we really expected much more.. Interior really outdated, restrooms from 90's.. We have been open to try anything from them, meals have been nice but the recommended selection of drinks really didn't match meals at all and the presentation was like from Italian disco thirty years ago.. I believe that this place can be great, it needs touch up and fresh mind to update the concept..

Food was ok - Edit
Visited in Sep'24 and I was super excited for a full vegan restaurant with such great ratings. It's a lovely place and the desserts did look great. We ordered the goulash and a recommended potato dinner. We were a bit disappointed, the food was just ok.

Cons: Wasn't really good, not a lot of flavor

Nice and cozy - Edit
The restaurant also has a pastry shop, where you can choose from a wide variety of desserts. When I got there, the restaurant was quite empty. Given that only two tables were taken, I had to wait to be seated. The food was quite good. I had Napfényes Lavish Plate for 1 and a rose homemade lemonade. I also took 2 desserts in a box for later. Both were very delicious.
Read morePros: Nice atmosphere, Good location, Pastry shops
Cons: Slow service, All the waiters were snacking :D

Okay! - Edit
Overall, the experience was somewhat underwhelming compared to the glowing reviews. If you’re unfamiliar with Hungarian or Eastern European cuisine and would like a gentle introduction, this would be a solid choice. However, I did feel quite uncomfortable with the service — the waiter consistently addressed only the man accompanying me, even when making recommendations for my meal, seeking his confirmation rather than speaking directly to me. It was a small but unsettling detail that left an impression.

Good pizza, nice place, friendly staff - Edit
I had goulash soup and the Hungarian pizza for lunch here. The gulash soup was amazing but the pizza was nothing special. I wish I had tried something else like one of the shared dishes. 4/5
Read moreUPDATE 23.04.2025 2/5
Chill atmosphere with purple and orange colors. Bad service. First we got the wrong soup. Then Goulash came 40 min after ordering!! I asked about it after around 20 minutes and the waiter went to check but didn't come back to say anything. We only received salt and oil for mixed salad after asking for it. I waited 20 min more for my main dish before asking for it. Got it a few min later, along with another random mixed salad. We wasted a lot of time waiting for our food, which we could've spent enjoying the lovely city of Budapest. We got a free dessert as apologies which was nice and tasted great.
The Goulash tasted ok. The Napfényes Lavish Platter was not that good. The ice tea tasted like lemonade.
I probably won't come back here during my next visit to Budapest.

Valódi éttermi élmény - Edit
Nagyon finom ételek, italok. Nagyobb étkűek kevésnek ítélhetik. Imádom a kinti asztalnál az ételek elfogyasztását, ad egy plusz hangulatot. A kiszolgálás kedves, a választék bőséges.

Nichts besonderes - Edit
Wir hatten recht hohe Erwartungen aufgrund der vielen positiven Bewertungen. Leider finde ich sowohl die Auswahl auf der Karte (frittiertes mit Reis und Salat oder div. Pizzen) als auch den Service nicht besonders überzeugend.
Read moreInsgesamt eher langweilig und trocken. Leider war das Wunschgericht von der Karte auch nicht mehr Verfügbar

Underwhelming - Edit
The plate for 2 persons was very dry, uninspired and very underwhelming. Could have profited from some more vegetables.

Our favourite place in BP - Edit
We come here all the time and love it! The waiters are super nice, they also love our dogs:) the parm pizza and fried vegan cheese are amazing but you won’t really find anything that isn’t good from the menu.

Didn't convince me - Edit
But might simply not be my thing. Didn't realize they didn't have real coffee before I got here, so my initial plans got messed up a bit and I bc they were packed (I didn't have much time due to my train back home leaving soonish) I listened to the recommendation by the waitress. So: weird combo of Mozart cake and "goulash" soup it was (surprised this was basically a veggie & bean soup, I thought they'd use meat replacements?). Both weren't really my thing and also quite expensive.
Read moreStaff is super friendly though, and there's plenty of space inside, although quite old-fashioned.

Great experience with a big variety of vegan food - Edit
It's so refreshing to look into the menu and you don't know what to order because of its many options for vegans.
Read moreSo we decided to go for a shared plate for 2. It contained falafel, sweet potato, gyros and other supplemented meat, rice, wedges and cole slaw.
The food tasted really great, but nothing outstanding. The goulash soup could have used a little bit more of authentic paprika, here it was just a normal white bean/potatoe soup. Why not try to go for a classic but vegan style?
Pros: Options

Fancy food, nice setting - Edit
Had an early evening meal here with the gf. Lots of choice - stuffed cabbage and taster platter were our choices. Followed by cake from a large selection. The platter was good to try a selection of items from the menu. I preferred some bits more than others. Service was good and tables had table cloths.
Read morePros: Great selection of cakes, Lunch- early afternoon daily specials better value, Good service

This place deserves 10 stars!! - Edit
Went to several vegan restaurants in Budapest but this was by far my favourite! You could quite easily come for a simple lunch here or posh evening meal with friends.
Read moreThe desserts are to die for & the menu is very impressive! They also do a good range of pizzas as well as a salad bar.
Feels like a proper posh restaurant.
I’d have loved the opportunity to have tried more in this place.
Pros: Great menu, Beautiful restaurant, Desserts to die for!!
Cons: I’m unlike to visit again as I live so far away 😭

I could not rate this place high enough! AMAZING!! - Edit
They had an absolutely huge selection of vegan baked goods, it took me forever to choose which cake to try! On top of that, they have an extensive and delicious menu, even offering some traditional Hungarian vegan food! The service is so friendly and the atmosphere inside is wonderful. My favourite vegan restaurant in the whole of Hungary!

The goulash here was amazing! I also tried the vegan stew which had a lot of texture, flavors and potatoes - I was surprised to see a stew like that! My husband tried the fried platter. We tried both the desserts in the menu. Both traditional ones - both mind blowing!!! #Veganuary
