Casa Ardeleana - Cluj-Napoca

Very good traditional meals, rustic ambient, quick service and good price. Don't, I say don't you dare to hesitate to ask for a glass of palinca. You'll beg for the second...!

It is a very good choice for traditional Romanian food, ambiance and music. The food is very good and the prices are resonable.

Place is hidden at the lower level of a shopping centre which makes it a bit weird to find. Inside you'll find loads of tables, which make it seem empty sometimes. Decorated in a traditional way with Romanian folklore music in the background and thematic rugs on the walls. Huge food selection in the menu but disappointingly, no wine list. Or the traditional "tuica" or "palinca". You have to ask for it if you dare have a shot before a meal. We shared some platters for starters which were pretty big size. Had 2 for 4 people. Also, mains were decently sized. Nothing to complain about food but nothing special either.

If you want to experience a trully traditional meal in Transilvanya this is a must. The atmosphere, music and stuff will bring you 200 years into the our past :)

We expected a traditional and cozy restaurant but found a rather shabby place with loud music and a none observant staff. The food was OK but nothing special but before we finished the meal they started a very noisy exhast ventilation.
