" Had an incredible dining experience at Chanta! The ambiance is so cozy and charming. The food we ordered was delightful, especially the Romanian sausages! The staff was so friendly and the wait was short, even on a busy Saturday night. We also loved the pretzel bread that came hot from the oven. Highly recommend this restaurant. I can’t wait to return to try their desserts! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Chanta based on recommendations, and I wasn't disappointed! The goulash was the highlight of my meal, bursting with authentic flavors and spices just like my grandmother used to make. The atmosphere was charmingly decorated, and the service was both prompt and friendly. My only critique would be on the wine prices, which felt a bit steep. However, I'd absolutely suggest this restaurant for anyone craving Romanian comfort food in a cozy setting. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Chanta was a delightful culinary journey! The ambiance reminded me of cozy family gatherings back home in Romania. Each dish was rich in flavor and very authentic, especially the goulash. The waitstaff was attentive without being overbearing, and I felt welcomed from the moment I walked in. I will definitely be coming back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Chanta was delightful, as this restaurant showcases genuine Romanian cuisine with a touch of modern flair. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, decorated with thoughtful details; you wouldn't want to leave! The Chicken Paprikash was delectable, but the portion sizes could be enhanced for more satisfaction. Service was spot on. I would recommend giving this restaurant a chance if you're looking for something different yet authentic! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to dining at Chanta, as I had heard they serve authentic Romanian dishes. The experience began poorly with a mistake in my reservation, forcing us to sit outside when we preferred indoors. While the outdoor atmosphere was nice, it was somewhat noisy from the street. The food was tasty but not as traditional as I expected, particularly the Schnitzel which I felt lacked the typical seasoning. Service was friendly, but I left a bit underwhelmed overall. I may consider a second visit but it wouldn't be my first choice. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last weekend, my wife and I decided to try Chanta for a relaxing dinner. We were welcomed by a lovely hostess who made us feel right at home! The Chicken Paprikash was outstanding, with perfectly paired side dishes. It was authentic and hearty! We finished our meal with Romanian doughnuts that were so delicious—they melted in the mouth! Our server was attentive and made excellent wine pairings. Can't wait to revisit! " (*Curated Review*)

" This charming restaurant gives you a true taste of Eastern Europe. The family atmosphere is palpable, and the menu features many traditional dishes that struck a chord with my palate. I ordered the goulash and it was perfectly seasoned. However, I would have liked larger portions for the price. The service was warm, albeit a bit slow at peak hours. Still, I will be returning; the authenticity is worth a second chance. " (*Curated Review*)
