Chanta is truly a hidden gem. It has a warm, family-oriented atmosphere with casual dining vibes, but don’t let that fool you—the food is absolutely high-end. Every dish is prepared with incredible care and delivers exquisite flavor that rivals upscale restaurants. The staff is genuinely friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which makes the entire experience even better. It’s the perfect place whether you’re dining with family or just looking for amazing food in a relaxed setting. We were not disappointed and will absolutely keep coming back.

Dinner felt like dining in traditional family dining room – though pretty noisy and a bit hard to hear each other. Service was relaxed but took some time, especially with clearing plates and water refills.
The Goulash was a typical beef stew and a smaller portion than expected (we tried to share). The Chicken Shnitzel was breaded nicely and probably my second favorite. The real standout was the Octopus appetizer and the presentation was outstanding!

The food here was exceptional—this marked only my second visit, yet it reaffirmed why I returned. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared, rich in flavor, and beautifully executed. My waiter was attentive without being intrusive, checking in every 15 to 25 minutes to ensure everything was impeccable. I had the pleasure of meeting the manager and the chefs, whose warmth and genuine hospitality were evident throughout the evening. There was a palpable sense of care in every detail, from the service to the presentation. I felt truly welcomed and valued. I will certainly be returning.

The most genuine and kind service I have ever received. A few friends and I got soaked in the rain and we were invited into the restaurant just to dry off. We actually intended to eat dinner there but before we even said so they were kind enough to offer us shelter from the rain. They were busy but added a few chairs to a table to accommodate us instead of making us wait. They served us warm bread and even brought us blankets to help us dry off. It was just the kindest gesture and it was clear that it was sincere and not just for show. On top of the incredible service, the food was phenomenal. I look forward to returning and making this one of the places i return to often.

Delightful wine menu and great service. We started with the stuffed mushrooms and chiftele, and for my main I had the Soccotini Vanessa all of which I would highly recommend. Dessert was suggested by our waitress; it wasn’t quite to my taste, but my mother enjoyed it.
With Mis en Place moving out of the area this is our new front runner for favorite neighborhood spot.

The experience was unreal! I sometimes take the time to write a good review when it is deserved, but this is beyond well deserved. The people here are so great. The chef (grandmother) came out to greet us. She is such a genuine person. Her granddaughter was our server. This is truly a family owned and operated restaurant. But what was even more amazing was the food. I had the Hungarian Goulash. I’ve never tasted a more satisfying stew. My wife had the Salmone Champagne and she was blown away. Relaxing instrumental music playing in the background coupled with the warm lighting and everything else I am describing made our experience unforgettable. This is our new favorite restaurant!

Magnificent experience! This food is top notch. Extremely high quality craftsmanship. The mushroom pasta I had Saccottini Vanessa, or something like that, was phenomenally mouth watering delicious YET not heavy or overfilling. Burrata and sourdough was refreshing and delightful between the octopus and the pasta. Finishes off with the Raspberry Fluff and the Papanashi which both hit home runs. But the papanashi was particularly exceptional—a cruller or popover-like texture. Staff was absolutely wonderful (not to mention, beautiful) as well. Will def eat here again.

My recent experience at Chanta was a captivating exploration of European culinary traditions, with a particular emphasis on Romanian flavors. The evening offered a delightful array of dishes, though the quality varied notably.
The pork schnitzel, while presented with care, fell short in seasoning and exhibited a slightly dry texture. The grilled octopus was a visual delight, artfully arranged, yet its texture was somewhat reminiscent of rubber, which detracted from the overall enjoyment. The beef osso buco was elegantly served, boasting a distinctive smoky essence that, while intriguing, may not resonate with all palates. The goulash, although attractively plated, proved to be merely satisfactory.
The crowning jewel of the meal was undoubtedly the dessert, which was a feast for the eyes as well as the palate. It struck a perfect balance between sweetness and presentation, earning a well-deserved five stars.
In summary, Chanta presents a blend of culinary strengths and weaknesses, creating an intriguing dining experience that is worth exploring.

Food was delicious!! We had the chicken schnitzel, the bolognese pasta, and the papanashi (not pictured) and everything was 10/10. We ate in their outdoor seating since I brought my dog, and they brought us blankets since it was cold, exceptional service! Overall super satisfied, what a great restaurant!

This place was absolutely delicious! The food was amazing and all of the people were so nice. My boyfriend and I went there for a date and it was perfect! Their exotic lemonade was delicious and probably one of the best drinks I’ve ever had. Their Romanian stew and lamb special was prepared to perfection. I would 1000% recommend this place for the perfect dinner night!
