“ Amazing mekitsa for breakfast, not dry and very good price. the sweet savoury mix of cheese & fig jam is very tasty ”
“ Very good! The staff was busy but took the time to speak to me in English to take my order. The place is a bit small so you may not be able to sit. I’d like to go back and try other flavours of mekitsa (I had feta and raspberry jam)! ”
“ Absolutely lovely little place. Went there right at opening time and got our Mekitsas very quickly. The homemade lemonade was very nice as well. Highly reccommend, especially the white chocolate raspberry jam Mekitsa! ”
“ Great place to taste typical Hungarian mekitza (fried dough) sweet or salty doesn't matter because the ladies welcoming you are already satisfying you with their lovely service. That place feels like home and it's also pretty cheap. Super suggested ”
“ Delicious Mekitsa (we tried the one with white and yellow cheese, and the spicy mix one). There’s seating available upstairs, but the place isn’t very clean. ”
“ Had a wonderful breakfast here. Me and my gf treated ourselves to 4 of their Makitsa’s (2 savoury, 2 sweet). Can say, our gluttony was worth it. Although i’m feeling stuffed like Hansel and Gretel ready for the oven, each one was just as good as the last! and i can’t regret my choices. I recommend the fig jam and cheese, banana and nutella, cheese and sausage and cheese and ham. Very tasty and def will be back! ”
“ Insanely good Mekitsa. We ordered a selection of sweet and savoury ones, plus mini with pistachio paste. Every single one was delicious and I strongly recommend the caramelised banana one - it was my favourite. The staff is also lovely and service is fast. Strongly recommend ”
“ my mate and I tried 4 mekitsas - cheese and ham, cheese and salami, cheese and fig jam and nutella and banana - and we were not let down by any of them. 24 lev for these 4 is a relatively cheap lunch/brunch spot. the people making them were super fast as well we only waited like 2 minutes to have them fried and put together. the atmosphere is also really cute upstairs and you can watch the street while you enjoy your mekitsas. left feeling very very full. big ”
