About this business

Romanian food at Little Bucharest Bistro. What a delightful change from the regular available cuisines. The place is small, has a little kitchen where the awesome chef single-handedly dishes out some delicious food. The service is totally personal, with the owner himself making you feel comfortable at all times. The food is served in good portions and is well priced. Call for details on BYOB-available days.

Definitely Try It! I expected this to already have TONS of reviews, as this restaurant has been around forever, and is SOOOO good!!! It is a mix of Romanian and other fares, and the food was STUPENDOUS, the service was great and friendly. It is a little jewel in the Old Irving Park of Chicago!

First time picking up from this legendary place (50 years in business!!) and I wish we knew about this place sooner. Great variety and quality of home style European food. I can only imagine the experience of amazing hospitality when dining in! Send this business off on a great note and order from them. They have great specials! and go meet the owner to wish them well! They had a great run!

Although it was carry out, the service was fantastic and the food was great. The "holy water" was a nice treat.

Excellent authentic Romanian cuisine. We live out of state but make special trips to dine in whenever possible. Must try. UPDATE: we enjoyed our delicious dinner tonight. The 3 and a half hr drive was well worth it.

A great place to have a date night. Romantic violinist comes to each table taking requests. Everyone makes you feel like family. If you grew up with stuffed cabbage, chicken paprikash, or schnitzel, their version will compete with your mom’s. Save room for dessert and sip a cocktail made with Palinka, a Romanian brandy.
