What a great find! The food was incredible and service from Ben was fantastic. He was a great help in placing our orders, very knowledgeable about the menu. Highly recommend! We had the lamb, Romanian stew, pork chop and cabbage rolls. Everything was wonderful. Also ordered all the desserts to share. Not one thing disappointed. We will be back!
My husband and I initially were looking for pizza and our phones took us to this little gem where we discovered it was a family owned Romanian restaurant. We have never had Romanian food and it was a beautiful, quaint little restaurant with wonderful ornate furniture and such a homey atmosphere that we could not just simply order a pizza. We did order the focaccia bread and the Romanian stew. It was all heaven on a plate. Service was fantastic, everyone was friendly and we left full and happy. If we lived here it would be our new favorite place.
I'll give it 5 stars because it seems like a family run restaurant that welcomes their guests. The interior was like the dining room of a house. I had the Hungarian goulash soup that comes with bread. Dip the bread in the sauce and enjoy. The meat and potatoes were good. Some other things on the menu looked good so I'd try them next time. I'd come here again.
My husband and I were looking for a small romantic restaurant with good food. For some reason that's hard to come by in Tampa. Until we found Chanta. Family-owned, exceptional food, great service, old world charm. If you can't get to Europe during the pandemic this is a suitable fill-in. The family cares about what they are serving. Highly highly recommend.
Wow! Eastern European cuisine that reminds me of when I was in Europe. The food is flavorful and top notch. Service was incredible and save room for dessert! Everything is fresh and made that day ( do yourself a favor and order any fresh veggies you can). You will not be disappointed.
