About The Little Hungarian Restaurant

Tucked along Glen Huntly Road, this dining room turns out hearty Hungarian comfort classics built on generations of family recipes. Regulars head straight for the chicken paprikash with nokedli and tender beef goulash, while crisp schnitzels and stuffed cabbage rolls round out the timber tables. Flexible portion sizing lets you sample smaller bowls of soup and cucumber salad before the mains land, though Thursday nights belong strictly to the slow-roasted duck paired with braised red cabbage.

  • Thursday roast duck special: Available on Thursday nights and best secured ahead of time, served juicy with potatoes and red cabbage.
  • Flexible portion choices: Flexible sizing across hot dishes, goulash, and soups makes it easy to sample more plates without overeating.
  • Homestyle heritage classics: Tender beef goulash, crisp schnitzels, and chicken paprikash served in a warm, unpretentious dining room.
