BEST OLD WORLD EURPEAN IN LA! – Hortobagy has actually changed its name and moved to the city! They have taken over the old Csardas and changed their name to DUNA CSARDA. The food is exceptional. The owner, Lazlo is so kind and gracious and even asked if he could make me something that wasn't on the menu. He is a master of this cuisine. For the appetizer DO NOT MISS the veal palacsinta - the sering is more than generous and the flavors are out of this world. The stuffed cabbage is perfect as is the duck. The value and locati... read more

Food is consistantly good and fresh. – I have been dining here regularly since they opened. Their food is consistently above the rest. Lamb Rogan Josh is what I had today, it's full of flavor and tastes fresh, unlike someplaces where the lamb tastes overcooked. Their dal tarka is another dish that has a real good garlic aroma. I always get excellent food and service here. Love it!!

I have never tried Indian Food, My friend dragged me to this, cause it just opened up. Wow, their food is SUPERB!!!! – I loved their vegetable somoza, it's full of flavored vegetable. I loved their Chicken Tikka Masala. The orange sherbet for dessert was one of a kind came in a real cute orange. I went there four times already, and I just LOVE IT!! They also have a real nice decor makes it warm and cozy. The price is really good and the service is excellent.

Disappointing Experience – I selected this restaurant based on the reviews from previous patrons. However, I was very disappointed with my experience. I called and made reservations for dinner. When we arrived, we were informed by the hostess/waitress that she did not find a reservation but could seat us. She offered a small booth next to a large table with a chair at the end. We declined and chose a table instead. Within 5 minutes a booth became available. We asked the waiter if we could switch. He advised us in a not so fr... read more

Authentic Hungarian Food - The ultimate best – Traditionally Hungarian customer service is always a little lacking. So for their culture, they are very inviting. The food is some of the best around. My husband is a first generation Hungarian. And he thinks the food is like being home. The cucumber salad is to die for along with the Goulash. These are must haves. If you are first time, definitely get the veal or chicken paprikash. AWW...my mouth waters just thinking about it.

... fills the void in my Hungarian palette! – I spent nearly every summer in Hungary eating the best tasting foods made by family and friends. My nother is also an amazing cook ...and from Miskolc, Hungary. Since moving to Los Angeles, I've been slowly learning the art od Hungarian cuisine! However, sometimes I just want the real deal; as in someone cooking for ME. I have finallyfound my special place where I can visit, "HU" whenever I want! The salami and kolbasz appetizer plate is a great way to start you meal. It even has... read more

Clean, good food and nice decor. – With only a few Hungarian restaurants to choose from in the Southern California area, Hortobagy is close as it gets to some authentic Hungarian flavors. We ordered the Fa'tal (wood platter) which consisted of two moist thinly sliced breaded pork cutlets, two types of Hungarian sausage, two pieces of breaded liver, tempura style battered cauliflower zucchini and mushrooms, excellent sweet and sour red cabbage, rice and a healthy portion of potatoes. Fresh bread with butter was great. The clo... read more

rather go somewhere else – Was not very impressed with the food, had some spatzel with my meal and it was definitly not crafted very lovingly. The lace curtains and other decorations felt stale under the lighting and did not convey a sense of home for me.

Love It – Great food in a most comfortable and cozy setting at very reasonable prices. The service is fairly fast and very friendly. It's been there for years and is just as enjoyable as ever. Love this place - too bad we don't have more like it.
