This Óbuda institution was the first Indian restaurant to open in Budapest. It specialises in
Northern Indian dishes, especially tandoori ones (2290Ft to 2490Ft). It's never been the best
subcontinental eatery in town, but it does manage some decent samosas.

This sushi restaurant with a central conveyor belt has more than 60 items to choose from
and the decor is dark, minimalist and very cool. The all-you-can-eat deal will keep the
ravenous satisfied.

Operating since the 1970s, this traditional yet very elegant Hungarian restaurant has an
antique-cluttered dining room and attentive service, and manages to create a
fin-de-siècle
at-
mosphere. Try the excellent goose-liver speciality plate with a glass of Tokaj (3980Ft), or a
less complicated dish like roast duck with apples (2980Ft), which is still out of this world.

This newish bistro and wine bar gets the nod from the cognoscenti, who rave about the Hun-
garian duck and pork dishes and the great selection of wines from not just Hungary but the
whole Carpathian Basin. It's in a one-time office building near the foot of tiny Kissváb Hil.
