Taverna la Calinescu - București

The restaurant looks like a workers' canteen, the menu has everything that nothing special, the staff is young and inexperienced.

The food was good, but the waiting period from the moment I entered until I ate it for one and a half hours. In my opinion, this is rather sad...

It seems very much a neighbourhood place and similar to others in the area. It was common food in bigger than average portions but moderately overpriced. One chicken soup, one chicken skewers with fries, one beer and one lemonade at 70 lei, it's too much...for what we had. The ambience is nothing special and the service is just correct.

We live nearby and wanted to order food and come and pick it up. Although they have 2 phone numbers on their menu page and we were right on time with schedule, nobody picked up after 15 min of trying. over, when I tried to...leave this feedback on their facebook page the post did not appear. Finally they answered on the phone and I could hear in the background the employees discussing: no, it does not appear because I do not approve it (about the fb post). THIS IS A RESTAURANT THAT CLEARLY DOES NOT WANT CLIENTS, SO DO MAKE THEIR WISH COME TRUE AND IGNORE THEM!

We are eating quite often at this restaurant which is near to our home and it has very good local food. I like the beans or the tripe soups and beef steak with baked potatoes and my husband likes their homemade quesadilla and the jam and sour cream donuts ( papanasi). The food comes very quickly although the place is always crowded and the quality of the food is always the same.
