Is it open yet?

It looks pretty open, I need to try it, the premise is good at least

Well worth a visit. Some unusual items, Pea stew! Good range of starters and nice presentation. Duck leg was tender and succulent. One oddity, served with sliced white bread!!! Baguette might be better?

Take your own booze for now.

Take your own booze for now.

 

And your own food judging by some of the delicacies mentioned above.

I recall the Manx Pins I put 10 pounds out for at a Peel Grocery Store was for some sort of Romanian Famine Relief.

 

So I am not too Surprised to see a thread on this Forums promoting the Romanians.

Addie, you can't live on pie and chips all your life! Give it a whirl.

Had Bulgarian and Polish food on occasions when I lived in the UK. Typically consisted of lard on bread and veggie dumplings that were full of meat. Plenty of lulz.

 

Never knowingly had Romanian food but I'd love to give it a go.

Sounds lovely.

[Kopek]

It is. Don't wait for reviews, a place can go under waiting for recommendations, give anywhere a try, if it's good, you've helped them survive the horrible first year!

A rebrand it seems, it is now the "Transylvania House" , visions of food served by Count Duckula run around my head, a bit too gimicky for me i'm afraid.

I did a Google on Romanian Food:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanian_cuisine

 

It says that most Romanian Dishes are Tart or Sour Tasting and comes from Cultural Influences from Greece and Turkey as Agriculture spread from those regions to the rest of Europe about 10,000 years ago.

 

The Wikipedia Listing lists off a variety of Dishes but here is there Christmas Traditional Foods:

 

Before Christmas, on December 20 (Ignat's Day or Ignatul in Romanian),[5] a pig is traditionally sacrificed by every rural family.[6] A variety of foods for Christmas are prepared from the slaughtered pig, such as:

Cârnați – garlicky pork sausages, which may be smoked or dry-cured;

Caltaboș – an emulsified sausage based on liver with the consistency of the filling ranging from fine (pâté) to coarse;

Sângerete (black pudding) – an emulsified sausage obtained from a mixture of pig's blood with fat and meat, breadcrumbs or other grains, and spices;

Tobă (head cheese) – based on pig's feet, ears, and meat from the head suspended in aspic and stuffed in the pig's stomach;

Tochitură – a stew made with pork, smoked and fresh sausage simmered in a tomato sauce and served with mămăligă and wine ("so that the pork can swim"). There are many variations of this stew throughout Romania, with some versions combining different meats, including chicken, lamb, beef, pork and sometimes even offal;

Pomana porcului—pan-fried cubed pork served right after the pig's sacrifice to thank the relatives and friends who helped with the process;

Piftie/răcitură – inferior parts of the pig, mainly the tail, feet, and ears, spiced with garlic and served in aspic;

Jumări – dried pork remaining from rendering of the fat and tumbled through various spices

Looks like they like Cooking with Pork just as tenaciously as the Greeks like Cooking with Lamb.
