Great food for the price - Edit
It’s really cheap so compared to the prices it’s a really good find! Also an amazing place for gulyás (coming from someone who grew up in hungary)! It’s a family owned business so great vibes

Great food and good value - Edit
Was really excited to try the food here due to the Hungarian dishes offered.
Read moreWe started with the fries, vegetables and dips which were really nice although a few more fries would have been good!
We then shared the cottage cheese pasta along with the seitan stew with nokedli.
Really enjoyed the food although the nokedli appeared to be unseasoned so we had to add our own salt. It was all really delicious though.
We then had some of the cakes available which were also good along with a shot of palinka which was way more alcoholic than we expected!

Gute preiswerte Hausmannskost - Edit
Ein kleines uriges Restaurant im Keller, bei Sommertemperaturen super angenehm. Das Personal war sehr nett und konnte perfekt Englisch. Die Karte ist ebenfalls auf Englisch und Ungarisch. Wir waren gleich zwei Mal da. Einmal um die ungarischen Spezialitäten zu probieren und einmal für Burger und Gyrosteller. Das Essen war gute Hausmannskost, wie selbst gekocht. Die Fleischalternativen sehr gut gewürzt. Uns hat etwas Gemüse gefehlt, aber wir glauben das ist einfach die Küche hier.

Hungarian vegan food - Edit
Goulash soup and pasta "cottage cheese": the soup was excellent but the pasta could be a bit tastier. The atmosphere and the location are really nice.

I was expecting more - Edit
Reading all the 5* reviews I thought I'll have a feast tonight. I didn't.
Read moreThe goulash was fair. A bit too salty.
The bread I order as a side was not fresh. It was dry.
The main was today's special. Apparently a traditional dish. The name is not in the menu and I can't remember it.
It was made of rice, texturised soy protein, grean peas, grated carrot, a piece or two of a bell pepper.
There was nothig special about it.
12 EUR for the above.

Traditional food and setting - Edit
The food was very tasty with a good selection. Walking down into the restaurant feels like going to a traditional restaurant. It was very busy and they were turning people away when we went. They had air con but it was very warm when it was 30c outside.

Not impressed - Edit
The goulash appetizer was white good. Everything else was disappointingly bland / nothing to write home about (gyros, Hungarian cheese pasta dish and seitan bbq).

Only come with a booking, or before 6pm - Edit
Although the food is delicious, trying to get a table or even takeaway from Kozmosz is a nightmare. The first night we tried, we arrived at the restaurant at 7pm and despite seeing lots of empty tables, they turned us away and said they had no space. We went back outside and saw the sign that they have takeaway available so we asked if we could get some food to go instead. Again, turned away without any explanation.
Read moreThe next day we had made successfully made a booking for 6pm and spent the next 2 hours seeing people throughout the night going through the same thing as we had the night before. It seems as though the restaurant is understaffed and badly managed.
If you do manage to get a table though, the food is absolutely delicious. We tried the Túrós Csusza (pasta with cottage cheese) and the Pörkölt with Nokedli (stew with gnocchi) both were tasty. I have never seen any other vegan restaurants offering vegan túrós csusza so I was very impressed. We tried their pickled cucumber with the pörkölt and it was ok, but it didn’t seem homemade. The desserts were great, we had the krémes (layered cream cake) and the rakott palacsinta (layered pancakes).
Going before 6pm is definitely recommended, by 7pm they had ran out of most main dishes
Edit: we went back again a year later and wasn’t as impressed with the food, mainly as the menu hasn’t changed at all. The túrós csusza and the pörkölt are tasty but very basic meals. It would be great if they expanded their menu with other Hungarian dishes

Hidden Vegan restaurant - went twice - Edit
The first time we went:
Read moreHungarian Stew was nice - lots and lots of pieces of seitan and all had a really good satisfying bite. Cottage cheese pasta with "bacon" tofu was really cheesy tasting and the tofu bacon had a really good bite to it. We had a peanut caramel cake which had good textures but could be a little sweeter. The restaurant is hidden downstairs - nice and cool in the summer.
Went back and this time I got the gyros and my boyfriend got the Hungarian Stew I had last time. I really enjoyed the gyros- excellent flavours and textures of the seitan. We also ordered traditional Hungarian desserts - custard pastry and the pancake stack with chocolate sauce. When I have tried vegan custard desserts at other places I haven't been impressed, but I LOVED the custard pastry here!!!! 10/10 would order that same dessert again. My boyfriend however is more of a chocolate man so would still choose the pancake stack again and the chocolate sauce was indeed very, very nice!! I could eat that by the spoonful.

Nice little place - Edit
For starters we had goulash soup and dip plate and as a main dish mushroom burger and seitan stew. Goulash was delicious and stew as well. Would appreciate more local dishes. But overall very nice and comfy experience.

Ganz nett, aber keine Geschmacksexplosion - Edit
Der Seitan Stew hatte meiner Meinung nach nicht genug Geschmack und ich würde ihn persönlich nicht wieder bestellen. Das Restaurant ist nett eingerichtet, aber sehr dunkel, da es sich im Keller befindet. Das Personal ist freundlich und das Menü ist rein vegan.
