    Very disappointing dining experience in our final night in Budapest. Service very poor, we ordered drinks and was then advised that half of the cocktails were not available once we had ordered. The cocktails recommended were not to our taste, very sour and salty, not drinkable. Food arrived - we ordered 4 dishes but one did not arrive until we complained after 35 minutes. We had to ask for the bill 3 times from 3 different service staff and were not offered any discount for the poor service or lack of food. Our final dish arrived 40 minutes after the other dishes had long turned cold even though we had asked them to cancel the order, and the lamb chops were over salted, fatty and bloody, these had not been rested at all. At this point we just wanted to leave the restaurant as we felt uncomfortable and unwelcomed. A really disappointing experience.

    Here’s a revised version of your review for improved clarity, tone, and flow: We absolutely love the food and service at Goli and are frequent visitors. However, our experience this evening was disappointing. I brought a friend who is eligible for a discount at the restaurant due to her workplace. Before ordering, we discussed this with the waitress, who assured us it wouldn’t be an issue. She explained that the bill could be split (as we were a group of four), and the discount would be applied to my friend’s portion. At the end of the meal, we reminded two other waiters about the discount, but they did not apply it. After asking for clarification a fourth time, we were told that the discount is not valid when dining together as a group. The way this was handled left us feeling uncomfortable. This situation overshadowed what would have otherwise been a pleasant evening.

    Really surprised at first by the concept (open kitchen, loud oriental music, very small tables, dishes served mostly in cooking sheets). But very quickly disappointed. The food is not at the level, super salty salad, one meat dish with mostly a big bone, soy milk stqngely used for labneh… the wine we tried very average too. All that on a micro-sized table and loud music. Very expensive bill at the end for what we get. The only positive point was the waitress would was very efficient and friendly. A place mostly chosen by foreign tourists, probably lured by a reference in Michelin guide. We still do not understand why Michelin added this address. Pass your way.
