The mămăligă set · sheep cheese, sour cream and smoked meat, plus chicken zeamă with house noodles

Why it’s worth visiting

Good for a first taste of Moldovan cooking right in the center — polenta with sheep cheese, sour cream and smoked meats, plus chicken zeama with homemade noodles.

The story

A restaurant with rustic-traditional decor — walls adorned with braided garlic, dried peppers, and old ceramic vessels. The menu brings Moldovan classics to the table: mămăligă (polenta) with cheese and sour cream, zeamă (chicken soup with homemade noodles), sarmale (cabbage rolls in vine leaves), plăcinte (pies with cabbage or cheese). Portions are generous, prices accessible, atmosphere sincere — no fine-dining pretensions, just good home-style cooking. Ideal for lunch after shopping (it's on the 3rd floor of a mall on Pușkin Street) or for tourists wanting to try local cuisine without overspending.

What visitors wrote
  • “The restaurant is located inside the shopping mall, on 3rd floor. I like the Moldovian food- Mamaliga set dish and Zeama (chicken soup) and it is very affordable and in good quantity. The atmosphere is decent, not fancy which I admire.”

  • “I recently visited this restaurant located in a large shopping center. The ambiance was quite average, nothing particularly special about it. The staff were okay, providing adequate service. However, the highlight was definitely the food, which was really nice and enjoyable. That said, if you're looking for traditional dishes, you might want to explore other places, as this re…”

Good to know
  • Mall location on the 3rd floor — no street vibe
  • Simple ambience — not a special-occasion restaurant
