    There are better Hungarian restaurants in London. Portions are small and overpriced, dishes that would usually be plated complete to eat require sides to be added at an additional cost. Also not family friendly, no options for kids on the menu, they’re expected to order adult portions and take doggy bags afterwards

    We had read some good reviews of this restaurant but to say we were all disappointed is an understatement. The staff weren't friendly - maybe because we aren't known regulars - but ??? We had 2 portions of crispy cheese bites to share between us as a starter. They reminded us of something you'd buy out of Iceland and heat up and at £14 for 4 - expensive. The main courses were small. The chicken paprikash had very little chicken. The bill came to £108. Overall not a great experience and not one we will repeat.

    We had a wonderful night at Lakehouse and were so well looked after. The food was excellent and great value. The menu is full of delicious dishes so we found it difficult to choose but were really happy with what we ordered and vow to go back to try the rest! The chicken with mini dumplings was particularly good, as many people have said, as was the pancake and cheese bites. The grilled mixed vegetables were great too and all the sauces that went with everything were superb. We really couldn’t fault it. Thank you, we will be back.

    Very cute looking restaurant, however there’s no Hungarian beer, or a selection of beers at that matter. The food was quite expensive for what we got and not the best, although it could have been, it just simply wasn’t made very well. The service was quite strange and not as welcoming and warm as we expected. We did go in quite excited to try this new restaurant in the area and we really wanted it to be great, but the experience was very underwhelming. I think the food could be made better, the selection of drinks needs to be better and should include Hungarian beers/wines, it should also be slightly cheaper as the prices are quite steep. The service could be a bit more enthusiastic and showcase Hungarian food and drinks in a better way.
