Honest verdict on Halászlé — good but not exceptional

Halászlé here was solidly made — creamy and savoury without anything to complain about. sour cream was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have.

Hungarian cuisine was shaped by nomadic Magyar traditions mixed with Ottoman and Habsburg influences. The a traditional market stall atmosphere was pleasant enough. soda water spritzer was available and a good suggestion. For a reliable version of Halászlé this works. For an exceptional one, I'd keep looking. Three stars.
