Hungarian Kitchen in Wyandotte closed about four years ago.

Are you thinking about Al's Hungarian Lounge on West End/South St., across from Szabo's Market. They had great food. It closed around 1993, the building burned before too long, the building was torn down, there is just a grass lot there now.

Al's had live Hungarian music, with a beautiful Cymbeline [[or something like that) in the performers corner. Al took a trip to Hungary in post-Soviet days and was very pleased with the changes, he came back to Detroit, shut down the place and moved back to Hungary. That's the story I heard.

I've eaten there a few times. Tasty stuff. They also carry Macedonian and some really good Polish food too. As to its authenticity, I couldn't tell you since I'm not of that descent but as a diner I liked the food, presentation and dining experience. It's not a huge place; a counter and a few booths but it's cozy and quaint.
