Charming Brooklyn nook w/ Hungarian-Jewish classics & standout pastries.
This Brooklyn spot offers a unique take on Eastern European and Jewish cuisine, drawing inspiration from a Hungarian grandmother. The intimate space, often described as charming and "cupcake pink," is perfect for a casual yet refined meal. Highlights include their exceptional bread, savory Hungarian chicken broth with dumplings, and a delightful array of desserts.
Agi's Counter serves a blend of Hungarian, Jewish, and Eastern European comfort food, with standout mentions for their tuna melt, cheesecake, Palacsinta (crepe-style pancakes), and chicken liver mousse. While most feedback is positive, one user found the salad overdressed with disliked caraway seeds, though others praised it.
