    What a fantastic last meal to end our 18 days in Eastern Europe. Fantastic in food, service and ambiance. The owner is a Hungarian who has spent much time in Israel. His food is a innovative new twist on middle eastern deliciousness. Highly recommend

    Great food, great vibes and outstanding service! My only note would be that the volume of the music was a little too high - Depeding on the table it can be a bit hard to have a conversation. But overall great experience and would definitely recommend! Big love!

    The food is amazing - one if the best meals we had in Budapest but the music was incredibly loud with a strong beat . We could barely hear each other.

    Goli was nothing short of excellent. Phenomenal food, friendly service, and great ambiance at a reasonable price. The chicken shawarma was the best I've ever had; as was the crisp kabab. Absolutely deserving of its bib gourmand status.

    Meat items were very mediocre. Dessert was terrible. They garnished with stale frozen pomegranates.
