What S L dislikes about Dunarea:
This is the only Romanian restaurant in Southern California. The menu is small, but everything was fresh. They do not offer any vegan/vegetarian options in their grilled main entrees.

For a true Romanian experience in the USA, be sure to order the mixed plates at this restaurant! The only thing missing for a perfect score of 5 in food is bread. We were able to find parking in the back, and the service was prompt. This is a great spot for a dinner meal, with prices ranging from $50-$100 per person. The food, service, and atmosphere all receive a rating of 4. Recommended dishes include the Mixed Grill and Mixed Plate. The only downside is that parking can be somewhat difficult to find, but there is a free parking lot available.

Food is always amazing! Service is great! Had my kid's Baptism here and everyone was impressed with the presentation of food, quality and service of the wonderful staff. I am so thankful to everyone who took such great care of our guests, especially Dan,who has been an important and integral pillar in our community for over 20 years. Thank you so much for transporting us to ourmother land for so many years. My non-Romanian guests were saying they feel like they were in Romania, and really enjoyed theatmosphere, and overall Romanian hospitality. Thank you Thank you Thank you!
