Review & Rating
This is one of my favorite restaurants. I've been going for years. I'm addicted to the great food and the friendly service. Some of my favorite dishes are the * stuffed cabbage * pork chops * veal crepes and the * roast duck. ALL yummy items in my book.
The food and atmosphere were stupendous. I would recommend this to any and all people that love Hungarian food.
We don't get there offend enough. The wienerschile and goulash are excellant.
Always a wonderful dining experience! The food never disappoints! Portions are generous as well as delicious! It's nice to have a smaller portions size option for many of the dishes....it leaves room for one of their many outstanding desserts. Great service rounds out a wonderful dining experience for this hidden gem of Cleveland!
ABSOLUTELY SUPERB! HUGE (!!!) plates... what plates... TRAYS(!) of great food! See pictures for yourselves. An individual portion is as big as a family platter would be elsewhere.
Try the flat bread, they make it in traditional style, can't really find this type of food in the United States.
Balaton quite simply is a timeless classic. It is a magical family run restaurant where the food is cooked with love. Located in the classy Shaker Square, Balaton is a step back in time. The dining room shouts old world charm with an understated but warm decor. I ordered the chicken noodle soup.
Each dish was dramatically different from each other. A perfect variety for one who needs an introduction to Hungarian delights. Paprikash was spicy and extremely tasty . The Schnitzel was perfectly prepared. Perfect balance between veal & breading coating. Very tender and not overly spiced or prepared.we could hear them preparing it - the pounding could be heard from the kitchen. All and all, we now see why it is the top rated restaurant.
This restaurant is a hidden gem one of the best foreign food places I have had ever we ordered a big sampler board that comes with pork chops with onions on top veal chicken sausage mashed potatoes rice the salad is amazing the bread is very good you don’t find places like this anymore I highly recommend this place if you’re reading this review thinking about giving it a try do yourself a favor go in and have the best dinner that you will find in Cleveland wonderful place wonderful service highly recommended
Great food. Great service. Always reminds of of being back in Hungary.
This quaint Hungarian gem of a restaurant will delight your palette and introduce the uninitiated to the marvels of Hungarian cooking. It has been a very long time since I have enjoyed Hungarian food the way my mother used to prepare it (or better, but don't tell her :-). Please, if you find yourself anywhere near Cleveland, do not pass up the chance to experience authentic Hungarian cuisine served with a smile.
