„Forget everything you thought you knew about the classic Hortobágyi!
At Karak, the traditional recipe is reborn:
introducing our HortobágyiStrudel. Instead of a pancake, we wrap the tender,
juicy paprika-seasoned meat in paper-thin, golden-brown, crispy pastry layers.
It’s topped with a silky sour cream sauce, exactly as it was meant to be.
Fresh ingredients, vegetables from local Hungarian producers, and a
touch of creativity—that’s our secret. Taste the crispiest version of
tradition!”

popular dishes is the Hortobágyi Strudel, where spicy chicken ragout

even hold its own as a main course. Don’t forget to ask for a slice of our
locally baked daily bread to soak up that divine sauce! „
