Gettó Gulyás

I recently visited Gettó Gulyás and had a mixed experience, with some positive aspects but also notable disappointments. I tried the Hungarian Goulash 'Alföldi' Style with Sourdough Bread, which was delicious—the meat was tender and cut into small pieces, and I really enjoyed it a lot. It wasn't spicy at all, which suited me fine, though those looking for heat might want to ask for extra paprika on the side. The portion was on the smaller side, bordering on mediocre, but the quality made up for it. The assorted pickles were okay, with some being spicy (like the stuffed pepper). The Roasted Bone Marrow with Toast was okay but didn't live up to the hype I've heard from others. It was enjoyable enough, but not as exceptional as expected. Overall, the food was good, and the goulash stood out as particularly excellent. The waitstaff were respectful. One major disappointment, though, was at the end when we asked for the bill—the waiter added a 12% tip automatically without asking or mentioning it. I don't think that's appropriate; tips should be optional and based on the customer's discretion, not added silently. It left a sour note on an otherwise pleasant dinner.

Our tour guide recommended this Hungarian restaurant. It is a 30+ min walk from our hotel but the quality of the food and the over all experience is absolutely worth it! We ordered the fish stew and a duck confit. The fish soup was delicious with chunks of catfish. The duck confit with apple/walnut sauce, accompanied by three artfully placed meshed potatoes, not only was the dish eye appealing but also was very tasty. The friendly bar tender lady also served us a complementary appetizer of duck liver pate with sourdough bread, that made us felt very welcomed. The atmosphere was very pleasant. The food quality was very good. Price was reasonable. Over all, a very good value. We love the restaurant and the food! We will definitely return the next time we are in Budapest.

The food quality is good and the service is excellent. During our three-day trip to Budapest, my friend and I tried several highly rated restaurants, and compared to others, we felt the portion sizes here were a bit small for the price. That said, we enjoyed the experience overall and would be happy to visit again in the future.

Lovely food and beautiful clean restaurant. We visited Getto Gulyas during our city break in Budapest and it was a great experience. We had delicious rich and thick fish soup which was served with fresh sourdough bread. It was the dish that we liked the most. The catfish paprikas was also nice but I didn’t like the pasta rolls with bacon that were served with it - they were quite bland. Last thing we tried was pork goulash with potatoes which was rich, flavourful and very filling. The staff were very nice but we felt a little bit ignored as other tables got smoother and quicker service (we got the bill after 15 minutes whereas others right away). Nevertheless, it was a nice delicious experience and we would definitely be happy to eat here again.

The foods are delicious, but only goulash soup was quite salty.. the rest taste amazing.. the price is affordable too, nice place.. reservation is a must. But if you can’t get it, better wait 10-15 minutes before they open the restaurant (that’s the tips) because after that, they will be priorities the people who do the reservation

We visited many restaurants during our trip to Budapest, but this was the best! We would come back, but it was our Last day! Perfect goulash soup and other dishes also. Pickles are perfect addition to main course. Delicious food, tasty vine, really friendly staff. Highly recommended!

A true gem in Budapest! I had an exceptional experience at this restaurant — the kind that stays with you long after the meal is over. The service was warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The food was simply outstanding. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of rich, memorable flavors. It’s clear that a lot of care and skill go into the menu, and it shows in every bite. The atmosphere was just as impressive: cozy, stylish, and full of charm. Whether you’re looking for a relaxed dinner or a special night out, this place hits all the right notes. Overall, a fantastic dining experience. Truly a hidden gem in Budapest — highly recommended!

We had a great experience thanks to our waiter, Barnus, who took excellent care of us throughout the meal. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was amazing the duck was especially delicious, full of flavor and perfectly cooked. We also loved the Hungarian pancake, which was a wonderful and authentic touch. Highly recommended! Days after we returned and we had the same experience with Laci, thanks!
