    Stuffed Cabbage (Halupki)
    Heather L.

    Been wanting to go to this place for a while but they were on vacation for a lot of August. Finally was able to stop by and was not disappointed. I got the stuffed cabbage and my partner got the chicken paprikash. Both were delicious, good portions and the service was great. We will definitely be back.

    Hungarian Goulash & Chicken Paprikas
    Dustin W.

    Never had Hungarian food so was really excited and asked a Hungarian friend for recommendations on what I should try. However, was very underwhelmed and felt most of the food was very bland. Nothing was bad, but nothing stood out and nothing felt like I would crave and need to come back for. Cabbage noodles - bowtie noodles, kind of bland Goulash - pork was really tender which was great, it tasted like a beef stew but a very typical mediocre beef stew Chicken paprikas - enjoyed but not very flavorful. the pasta looks like cauliflower and is unique, but the sauce was nothing special Plum palacsinta - too thick for my liking it tasted like a pancake wrapped in some jam, the jam was good but too thick of a crepe Only did take out and the staff was friendly. Inside looked like a classic older restaurant with booths. Will need to try other Hungarian food for comparison since I have no baseline. Nothing was bad, but wasn't impressed.

    Pierogies with Sour Cream
    Bill M.

    My wife and I came here on a snowy Saturday night. We have always wanted to come here as she used to eat homemade Hungarian food growing up. The restaurant is simple, is BYOB, and has a cozy feel to it. There was one waiter who was also the host. He was very friendly. The food was fantastic! We had the pierogis that tasted homemade and they were huge. I had breaded pork chops with Hungarian noodles, which had bacon and cottage cheese. My wife had chicken paprikash, which is chicken in a sour cream sauce with Nokedli (egg noodles). We ended with palatschinke, which are similar to crepes but not as sweet. Nothing was overly salty. It wasn't busy and we sat immediately but apparently they get super busy on a Saturday night. We will definitely come here again.

    Gypsy Pork
    Oi W.

    Was in the area and decided to try something different. Never had Hungarian cuisine. Pierogi were good. Didn't expect them to be fried but it's good. They were bigger than the Polish version. These are stuffed with potato. Hungarian Gypsy Pork was delicious. The garlicky Pork Chops were so good. Mash Potatoes were just Mash Potatoes but we took the left over sour cream from the Pierogi and it just took the Mash to the next level hehehe Hungarian Goulash is delicious. I've had Goulash from diners and other restaurants but never the original Hungarian style. It's so much better! Arthur, our server was so fast, zipping around the restaurant like a busy bee. He was funny sarcastic .

    Soup and salad starter
    Kevin C.

    Our first night here at Bethlehem, PA and my wife found this Hungarian place on Yelp and also close to our hotel. Walking in, the decor is nothing to boast about as its tables and booths are similar to a diner setting. But that doesn't matter as it comes down to the food. My wife ordered the stuffed cabbage which she thought was just alright. My son ordered the meatloaf and we could have sworn it looked and resembled more like their fried meatball dish. He didn't enjoy it one bit as it was too fried and the mash potatoes that came with it was dry and bland. For starter, he had the pierogis which looked homemade and tasted yummy. I myself had the breaded pork chops which came with cabbage noodles and string beans. I loved my dish whereas my wife and son did not completely enjoy theirs. They served salad and soup to start and the only complaint we had about that was their soup was lukewarm despite it being very flavorful. The other discouraging thing was the long wait. It took a very long time to get our order in and for the food to come out. I will confess that the owner has a great personality and very down to earth to chat with. Also, this is a BYOB place. Otherwise sadly to say, there are just too many misses to give this place a stellar recommendation.

    I was nearby for work and checked yelp for Hungarian food and this was the first suggestion and it had good reviews so of course I had to give it a try. The place is small. Service was friendly. I originally wanted pierogi, however, they fry theirs and I prefer mine sautéed. So I ordered the chicken paprikas with white meat and a Diet Coke. The meal came with soup and bread. The soup was chicken noodle with veggies. It was good, definitely homemade. I'm currently not eating bread, but, The bread was kinda hard and the butter was too hard to spread. The Paprikas was delicious! A little watery but had a good flavor and decent amount of chicken. It was served over perfectly cooked spaetzle. The price was fair for what I got. The only reason I took off a star was the cleanliness. The bread basket wasn't clean. Good thing I am not eating bread. And neither was one of the sets of silverware on the table. That said, I would still eat here again if I was in the area.

    The plates should be heated to keep the food hot. The food is good, however, it should be hotter. Last visit the food wasn't hot enough.

I was looking forward to "the Hungarian sausage master" Jozsef Hirs' brief return to the Hungarian Christmas Market in New Brunswick NJ earlier this December, but due to their popularity and loyal area fan base (not only was there a long line throughout the day, as they were by FAR the most popular merchant, but I'm told a line had already formed a half hour before the market even opened!), the products we came for - I live for their applewood smoked bacon - were unfortunately already sold out by early afternoon. We had to be content with another type of bacon and some semi-dried salami. Anyway, Florida, enjoy your traditional home-crafted pork products and kolbász. The Garden State's loss is the Sunshine State's gain! They do still deliver nationwide, however, and may make the occasional special appearance back up the east coast, so watch this space.

The Hungarian Meat Center, owned and operated by the Rozsa Family since 1988,specializes in everything Hungarian. The store is on the small side but upon entering smells of smoked sausages, garlic, paprika and cumin which permeate the air. When in the area, I stop in to pickup some Hungarian delicacy or another. This last visit, I bought a gyulai $16, Cseresz kolbasz $8, and a container of prune and apricot jam, $4.75 each. It's difficult to find Hungarian products in Northern New Jersey let alone at reasonable prices and at this quality level. I must add that their apricot jam has the right texture, no added sugar however the sweetness of the fruit remains. I love it. They also offer torta, punies, kremes/sampit, spices and seasonal candies.

    5-Stars it is!! *…read moreCASH ONLY- they have ATM on premise but cash is king! * Make reservations- we had reservations for 7p- but moved it to 5p and glad we did- this little spot fills up fast *BYOB Hubby and I came here to see what all the rave reviews were about and were immediately greeted warmly and with a smile, seated and given menus with an explanation of the specials. We started off with appetizers- which are really great for sharing- perogies for the Hubby and I had the liver dumpling soup- both were fantastic. Hubby had the German mixed salad with his meal, the special was sausage with both chicken and pork Schnitzel and potatoes, I had the sauerbraten with potatoes and we both had a side of the sauerkraut. We took a To-Go of the stuffed chicken breast with mozzarella and spinach and soup, with broccoli and an order of perogies. 2 Root beers, and he had the apple strudel and I ordered the Bienenstich. Our server was Karen- I want to give a huge thank you to her, she was an absolute delight, sweet, friendly and made sure our dinner was perfect, she is wonderful and next time we come for dinner, we hope she is our waitress. Food was incredible, I have not had "family" style German food in probably 13 years if not longer- I used to eat all the time at Alpine Village in Torrance Ca and at Phoenix Club in Brea Ca- both I was a long time foodie at, and never had a bad meal! It is so great to know that Sebastian's is our new place for delicious German food. Dinner for the 3 was roughly $180.00, but before you say "that's a lot", the food is delicious, the wait staff is amazing and both my husband and I gladly pay good money for fantastic food, like what we had here at Sebastian's.

    CASH ONLY CASH ONLY…read moreCASH ONLY CASH ONLY Did I mention CASH ONLY So we are thinking about getting Christmas Eve dinner catered from here, so we tried it out yesterday. There was a decent amount of confusion and dialect disconnect, but I believe they have most of their regular menu available. We also ordered a bunch of different items to taste test and we were extremely happy! Let me get into my issue... At no point until I walked into the restaurant, did they mention cash only, oh and check! They take checks! But they never list if on ther website, or any social media sites. They do not mention it over the phone either... so I walk in expecting to pay with card and wham. CASH ONLY... They do have an ATM on site, but to use it, you need an ATM card or a pin on your CC, which I did not have. My FiL had to meet me half way back with cash so I could pay. I really wish they post it online or somewhere people can see before walking in.... I had half a mind to cancel lol! Well that's my gripe! Ordering food, there was a slight language barrier as well. But all in all, it went OK. The lot needs better lighting and or a sign that points to the main entrance. We walked the wrong way and ended up at tables and chairs in storage.... It is very very very homey inside. Very homey. It feels like Oma's living room. With Hummel and biersteins everywhere, and it mean everywhere! Do not bring young kids here lol! It does look nice though! Must but nightmare to dust... Service is unique, the owner was trying to make small talk, and this is after my cash issue, I was kind of zoned out... also had 2 kids that were surprisingly behaving! I got super lucky with that lol! I was able to pay cash and he threw in a few items for free, he gave me a potato soup and a Rahm sauce. Brought the food home and feasted! I got the triple schnitzel combo with Veal, pork, chicken. All were delicious, I like the brown gravy (which had a nice tang) as well as the Rahm sauce with it. By itself it was good, I think they do it more Italian style with only breadcrumbs and no flour, but it was still good. The Veal was the best, but small! The other 2 were very good! I subbed mash for home fries which had sautéed onions and were a great touch, but it needed salt. The sauce helped! I also got a side or spaetzle, which were good but needed sauce and or salt, and did not have much seasoning. But that is German food... I'm not saying its bland, but its sauce heavy! Perogies were absolutely killer! I want a tray lol! Great filling, super soft, great taste! Wife and FiL had the chicken cordon blue, and they were huge!!! They were delicious, but even better with the Rahm sauce. I need a gallon of it lol! Wife liked the Red cabbage, I enjoyed it as well, great flavor. I personally like it sweeter. FiL had the mash and like it. I also got Linzer Tarts which disappeared very quickly lol! Everyone enjoyed them! All in all a great meal, I wish they'd let you know cash only... we look forward to getting catering on Christmas Eve!
