Perla

Visiting Cluj Napoca Perla is a nice spot in Zorilor, just 2km from the city center. The food is freshly made and prices are lower than in most places around. We had the ciorbă țărănească and grilled chicken drumsticks—both tasty. Worth a visit if you want good food without spending too much!

Excellent food at half the price Our hotel was in the Zorilor neighbourhood which was about a 30min walk uphill from the city centre so rather than walk down the hill to eat at an expensive restaurant we decided to eat out in our neighbourhood. At first we asked for menu's in English and a very rude but rather pretty blonde lady said to us abruptly "No menu's in English". So, we left and went back to our room and brushed up on basic ordering of food in Romanian. Now we knew what we were ordering from the Romanian menu. A much younger brunette girl waited on us and she was VERY nice and attentive and spoke very good English. She was impressed with our language skills. We ended up going there two nights in a row. We ordered schnitzel and chips, mixed grill, and Chiorba which is a sour soup containing meatballs, rice, and sour cream. All the food there was fabulous and the beer was cheap and good as well. The prices here were half what they were in the centre where they had English menu's. I strongly recommend this place in the Zorilor district of Cluj-Napoca.

Verry good food! The food was excellent, a large variety of drinks. The waiters was very friendly and quick. Sometimes food late. This is a budget restaurant.
