This place made my Hungarian heart happy! I was visiting Florida from Texas when I learned about Monika’s European Kitchen and knew I had to try it. Both of my parents were Hungarian so I grew up eating authentic Hungarian food and I can tell you, this place is the real deal. Monika and her staff were very welcoming and the food was absolutely delicious. We had a table of four and each of us raved about our meal. We even ordered goulash to go because we knew it would be equally as good as everything else we tried, but we simply didn’t have any more room in our bellies. I look forward to visiting Monika’s again the next time I’m in this part of Florida.Posted on MARYANN GMarch 2, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an amazing authentic dinner at Monikas! Started with the Danube Trio, goulash (hanging over a warm flame) so delicious, the schnitzel was so tender and delicious, the stuffed cabbage was also delicious and finally had the chicken paprikash. Friendly and attentive staff and owners. Do not hesitate to try something different and authentic. We will have to go back and try the desserts. The table next to ours had the crepes and they seemed to really enjoy.Posted on Sarah PMarch 1, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

“If you are reading this, you need to find this woman! She can cook and bake! I think we bought one of everything off her table. Everything is delicious, especially the bread. But it wouldn’t taste THIS good without all of the spreads that we bought from her”
