"This is the first time I've experienced a Hungarian restaurant. It was intense in the meat department. Meat meat everywhere. We got the sampler appetizer and the sampler entree and it was more than enough food to feed the four of us (2 of which are built like linebackers). We took a photo of the entree because it was so over the top. Literally it was a pile of food (80% meat) on a wooden slab. The waitress was extremely nice, professional and knowledgable. I only regret we didn't try the Hungarian booze. If you're a vegetarian or don't enjoy fried meats this might not be a good choice for you. Overall the food was decently prepared albeit heavy. The cabbage was very enjoyable. The atmosphere is good, staff very personable. It seems like a lot of 'characters' would frequent this kind of establishment. I was a little surprised to see the piano and microphone in the corner. I don't know when they have the piano music going on, but that would be the time to go. It would really amp up an already quirky establishment. Also they gave us loaves of bread. I don't know if that's their standard policy or if they just had a lot of delicious bread that they didn't want to go to waste, but it was pretty nice of them. I say give it a try. It's a huge restaurant with barely any people in it. Heck, have a party there." - BySA
"Dining here feels a bit like stepping into a European foreign film where you're both spectator and player. The slightly surreal atmosphere embraces the disaffected conversations of the primarily Eastern European crowd, peppered with Melrose locals. Wooden chairs, white tablecloths, and fresh flowers fill the airy dining room that comes complete with a grand piano, shelves of Tokaji wine and a dose of televised Hungarian opera or live jazz. The sunny covered patio, meanwhile, offers a more casual gemutlichkeit hangout. Dishes include Hungarian sheep's cheese, cold sour cherry soup, paprika chicken with dumplings, veal goulash, stuffed peppers, breaded chicken liver, rosted duck and chocolate chestnut torte." - Martha Burr

"A few weeks ago I paid my initial visit to Duna Csárda Restaurant for one of Dolores Petersen Presents evenings at this locale which, as of late, has also been functioning as a performance space for some of Southern California finest players and singers (mostly) in the field of jazz. I came for the music, but ended up staying for (and enjoying) the food as well. The stuffed cabbage is a poem! But that’s another story left to the devices of various SoCal food critics, who’ve tended to have a lot of nice things to say about this Hungarian cuisinerie" - Bill Reed
"DUNA CSARDA MELROSE NEAR VINE......NEW AND STYLISHLY REDECORATED. Unusual hungarian food at amazing prices. Quiet and sophisticated for intimate dinners. Amazing prices for early birds and Sunday brunch. Call to find out about musical specials. Gypsy night was FABULOUS." - JEAN MASON
"Duna Csarda is opened and welcoming all their former patrons and new ones ..... this spot is growing with entertainment as well - Jazz, Cabaret, Classical and World Music." - jerryinthevalley
