Danubius: Reviews & Ratings
Great food!! Like the way my mom used to make it! Decor was lovely. Service was great! The drinks were tasty. I had the Cosmo. I will definitely be eating here again. No question!!
We went to Danubius for lunch based on the reviews and found amazing service and generous delicious food! Ciorba de burta brought me back to my childhood memories and mushroom with chicken and polenta were dreamy. My husband had the schnitzel with mashed potatoes and he couldn’t stop talking about it - he had schnitzel in Vienna a few months back and the one from Danubius far exceeded in taste and freshness. The food was fresh, very tasty and the service 10! Thank you Danubius for a great meal. I was very impressed with the taste of the food and the friendly and warm service.
This was my first time having Romanian food and it was amazing. We got the pork sausage and the cabbage rolls and then a dessert. Highly highly recommend you come and try out this place!!
Really good meat dumplings and the skinless sausage with home fries were delicious. First time having Romanian food, the service was excellent. Would recommend and come again!
Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! A true winner of fine dining with a touch of class. An absolute must try of exquisite European delicacy. Great service and attentive staff. All and all a great experience. I will definitely be back.
I was coming back from LGA and I was chatting with my uber driver. It turned out that he's Romanian so I asked him if he ever missed home and the food there and he said, "No. The Romanian food here in Queens is pretty good." I asked him what restaurant was his favorite and he said "Danubius" I tried it the next day with a couple of friends and honestly I had a great first impression. The dishes tasted very good and everything had a charm to it. Salata de vinete was ok, it reminded me of a simpler lighter version of babaganoush. The mititei was very popular and very juicy; it tasted very good with a bit of mustard. The sarmale tasted pretty good but I loved the polenta on the side more. Branzino was very fresh and the meat tasted great with some lime drizzle over it. We finished off with the papanasi and it was a very tasty unique desert. The sweet cheese was hit or miss with my friends but I loved it. Overall the experience was great and I definitely want to try more of the menu sometime in the future. The food is filling and authentic and I'm glad I got to experience some Romanian cuisine at home in Queens.
This was my first time to a Romanian restaurant and was very impressed. It helped that I came with a Romanian who knew what to order. We had fried cheese, white caviar, skinless sausages, and cabbage rolls - it was all delicious and very very filling. I’ll come back!
Great restaurant! Some of the best sarmale I’ve had and genuinely very good tasting and good value for the money ciorba de burta (tripe soup)- only 10 bucks! Will definitely come back
