5* for the best service we ever had at Romanian Garden ever Our waitress Camelia was very kind and professional Food was delicious
Best Romanian restaurant in New York!The food is very good and hot ,service is always amazing and the ambiance is full of warmth and happiness especially when they have artists performing!This past Sunday they were so accommodating with our huge party of 15 people.On a super cold day of walking in the city,nothing warms you up like a Romanian boiled brandy (tuica fiarta ) and a nice hot bowl of Romanian soup,trust me on this!!
I came to Romanian Garden for lunch at 1:30pm on a Saturday. We did not have a reservation but there was a lot of space available for seating (it was pretty empty at this time.) Our server came by to ask for our drink orders and to offer us water. We got two glasses of the house red wine which was very good! While we waited for our appetizers they brought out this very good white bread that was cold but had a nice crispy crust and fluffy interior. For food we ordered and shared: Salata Boeuf: boiled vegetable and chicken salad. Super good and comforting! Tasted like potato salad but with some chicken in it and it went very well over the table bread that was brought out to us. Polenta with sour cream and feta cheese: this was heavenly. Warm polenta with salty feta and cold sour cream. Truly loved this dish especially for the temperature contrasts. It was super creamy and comforting. Would recommend that anyone who comes here gets this to try! Ciorba de Fasole (Bean soup): very hearty soup with white beans. Had some nice hints of tomato, dill, and other veggies. Very filling and healthy! Did not have any meat that I could appreciate so might be a good option for vegetarians--but definitely ask to confirm. Soup of the day: the option for the day was this chicken and dumpling soup that reminded me a lot of chicken noodle soup. More on the watery side but with flavorful light broth that was very comforting. I could see myself eating this nonstop while sick. It was perfect for a cold day. It had some chicken in it as well as carrots and two small dumplings without any filling in them. Would be nice to see a little more vegetables or chicken in this one per serving since it felt like it lacked a little bit of content. Grilled Trout with cabbage side: my trout was very well cooked and tender. It fell off the bone with ease and was flavorful. The side of cabbage was also very good and satisfying! Liked how they put some lemon on the plate as well as capers for extra flavor if you want it. Romanian stew with polenta: my boyfriend ordered this and it was very hearty and filling. Basically different cuts of pork (loin, sausage) in a tomato stew served with polenta, cheese, and a sunny side up egg! Very flavorful, decadent, and rich. Definitely on the heavier side. Overall, had a great experience here. My boyfriend is Romanian and he said the food here is very decent! The space is really nice and large so this place could be perfect to host larger groups. Service was also fantastic! Many options of traditional Romanian dishes that are comforting and feel high quality. The portion sizes are very very large so it's a good bang for your buck! We took so many leftovers home. Would recommend this place for Romanian food in Queens! Definitely hope to return soon and try on of their desserts which also looked delicious.
Hubby and I decided to check out the place since we've been passing by but not stopping by. This night was on a Saturday night. I think the owner greeted and seated us down. I believe his wife was working too because they looked like a couple. Maybe the son is a bartender, and the daughter is a waitress. I didn't see the grandkids working, but I'm sure someday they'll be busy here too. The ambiance is mainly European dining style, complete with singers, not a live band but live singers. They sang in Romanian! Wow! Where's my Winter Soldier Sebastian Stan when I needed him? I ordered Filet Mignon Steak Lover with vegetables. Hubby had Romanian skirt steak a gratar. I liked my filet Mignon but didn't like how the vegetables were prepared because I thought they came from canned vegetables or frozen vegetables. I may not get the vegetable on the side from here because I love fresh vegetables! The service was good, considering how busy the place was at the time. If you like live music, come here on weekends because the singer could sing all night. We didn't understand the language, but we thought it was fun.
