Thank you. Tue Mar 17 15:01:59 -0700 2009 154727 shabbystorm 1 4514532 The only one I know of is on Main Street in Woodbridge . It's o.k but nothing special .I think the name is Europa . There are a few Polish places around in South River and Linden and there are occasional festivals like the one run by St. Thomas The Apostle church in Rahway and St. Nicholas in Roebling that feature Central European food . Also the Hungarian Festival in New Brunswick in early June . Tue Mar 17 16:56:50 -0700 2009 4514196 109071 arpad 2 4518696 Does anyone have details about the Festival in New Brunswick...or a link? Thanks, I want to get that on my calender! Thu Mar 19 05:25:27 -0700 2009 4514532 61669 Quine 3 4519055 This festival is held on the first Saturday in June, i.e. June 6 this year. I did a quick search and there are numerous sites that discuss the festival. Thu Mar 19 08:17:58 -0700 2009 4518696 57768 ambrose 4 4521112 Thanks for the Info. I just ran a quick google search myself ("Hungarian festival new brunswick nj") and I did see several sites come up, but the are all about past events. The 1st Sat in June is a good marker for me to plan with. Thanks! Thu Mar 19 19:57:43 -0700 2009 4519055 61669 Quine 5 4523141 Cool! Thanks a lot for posting. Fri Mar 20 12:36:28 -0700 2009 4521112 154727 shabbystorm 1 4515217 For years, the Hopewell Valley Inn and Bistro (Hopewell, NJ) has devoted a section of their menu to Hungarian cuisine. A dinner menu can be found online @ www.hopewellvalleybistro.com. Nice restaurant and setting, and have always enjoyed the meals. If you wish to cook Hungarian dishes; good meats and supplies can be found at the following locations: Hungarian Meats and Deli - Somerset & Oak - New Brunswick, NJ Buday Meat Market - Robinson and Central - New Brunswick, NJ Tue Mar 17 21:25:26 -0700 2009 4514196 275341 T_Mac 1 4516359 The Blue Danube in Trenton has some Hungarian dishes on their menu along with other Eastern European cuisines. I’ve been there a couple of times and the food was interesting and pretty good.

I ate there today and thought the food was very good. The Chicken Paprikas with Dumplings was delicious with the dumplings, light and silky. Tunde, the owner, cooks all the savories as well as all the authentic Hungarian pastries. Thu Apr 16 17:54:59 -0700 2009 4514196 65996 cher.128 1 4759086 A link to a Hungarian restaurant in Ewing NJ that sounds great http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/626516 Barbara's Hungarian Food Found my way here earlier today to sample the cooking . I ordered a takeout Chicken Paprikas - $10 for two good sized breasts and a hefty portion of dumplings - oh yes and plenty of rich sour cream and paprika gravy . Turned out to be enough for two meals and very good indeed ! Menu is limited but all good Hungarian favorites -Stuffed Cabbage , Stuffed Pepper , Pork Stew , Beef Stew etc . All entrees are $ 9 to $ 11 . For those that remember them Noodles with Cottage Cheese are $ 6 . I would have tried the Palascinta but they were just starting to mix a batch of batter ! Location is 1400 Parkway Ave ( Rte 634 ) in Ewing , in the Mazzaro Shopping Center . Hours 11 A.M. to 9 P.M. Tuesday - Saturday , and Sunday till 8 P.M. Closed Monday . No web site yet but maybe soon . Well worth a try . Wed Jun 10 04:51:53 -0700 2009 4514196 154727 shabbystorm 2 4759152 I should have mentioned they have seating for about twenty five people . Wed Jun 10 05:32:43 -0700 2009 4759086 109071 arpad 3 4769067 Taking family here next week - we are all so excited! Found this article with some background info on Barbara. http://www.nj.com/entertainment/times/index.ssf?/base/entertainment-1/1241150703301300.xml&coll=5 Sat Jun 13 05:11:20 -0700 2009 4759152 154727 shabbystorm 4 4792942 Our family visited Barbara’s Hungarian Restaurant the other night. We tried several things from the menu, it was good. Not as good as Aranka's or Chardas once were. We enjoyed our evening in this family style restaurant. It is not fancy and if anyone remembers the Rt 18 flea market, they used to have a stand here. The funny thing is that they basically have recreated their flea market stand, the cook is in a little cubby area in the restaurant, right out in the open. It was a case of Deja vu. Server spoke very little english but she was kind and a smile transcends language. IMO The food here would be much better as take out. The food was just not hot, or cold enough when it needed to be. The restaurant was PACKED! BYOB Reviews below on menu Menu ½ Portions served for lunch Bread and Butter - OK - Free Chicken Soup Pea Soup Cauliflower Soup 3.50 - Good - just not hot enough Hungarian Gulyas 8.00 - Very Good - Just not hot enough Entrees – 9-11.00 Bean Gulyas Bread Pork Cutlet Chicken Cutlet Chicken with Mushroom Sauce Chicken Paprikas - Good Beef Stew Mushroom Stew - Good - Not Hot Enough Pork Stew - Good Stuffed Cabbage - Good Stuffed Pepper Pork With Sauerkraut - Good Noodles with Cottage Cheese and bacon 6.50 - Good Sides Cucumber Salad - Good - But not cold enough Spatzels - Excellent Potato Rice and Peas Parsley Potato 3.00 - Very Good Desserts Strudel Cherry or Apple - OK Crepes Peach or Cottage Cheese - Less than OK They served the BIGGEST cup of Tea I ever had. Coffee - Good It was about 100.00 for the 4 of us. Blackboard Specials - They had Roasted Chicken - Potato Casserole - and A Baked custard for dessert Random Side Note - Garmin does not always know best - On the way out it took us through Trenton - Has anyone tried Sunshine Soul Food? I just love that name, Hubby would not stop. LOL Sun Jun 21 16:29:48 -0700 2009 4769067 154727 shabbystorm 5 4796243 Were you a tad nervous about food safety, what with cooking a a cubby hole and stuff not hot enough (that should be) and cold not cold enough? Mon Jun 22 16:46:06 -0700 2009 4792942 61669 Quine 6 4796264 Everything was definitely cooked and prepared within code, was not concerned. It may have just been a plating issue or the fact that they were so busy, dishes were waiting to be served. Hope that clarifies. Mon Jun 22 16:55:03 -0700 2009 4796243 154727 shabbystorm 6 4797303 It's an open kitchen . Not unusual in restaurants . Tue Jun 23 05:11:51 -0700 2009 4796243 109071 arpad 1 4759473 There is a place called Europa Cafe in Delanco, NJ. It's just a few blocks from the Delaware river and serves Hungarian food. I've only been for lunch, and I'll admit it's a few years since I've been there. I remember it being nice for lunch. Maybe someone else here has been there more recently and can comment. Wed Jun 10 07:29:34 -0700 2009 4514196 95489 mschow 1 4763660 There is Blue Danube in Trenton. I have eaten there a couple of times and enjoyed it, but I'm not real familiar with Hungarian food so I can't say if it's anything special. http://www.bluedanuberestaurant.net/ Thu Jun 11 10:52:39 -0700 2009 4514196 228042 sadiefox 1 5152098 You must go to the Blue Danube - http://www.bluedanuberestaurant.net/ Mention Uncle Ernie and nothing will happen Tue Nov 03 09:32:36 -0800 2009 4514196 1121392 CTMcEnroe
