'Az emberek' should be 'The people' anyone else had a problem with this?

Should it? Remember that Hungarian uses the definite article for general statements as well (see e.g. the tips and notes at https://www.duolingo.com/skill/hu/Adjectives-1 , at the bottom).

Thanks I understand the point that you make and I see why it is necessary to add the definite article in the Hungarian sentence but I was marked wrong for translating it as :- "The" people stay in the restaurant. Which I feel is a little harsh.

Isn't "remain" a better word for "maradnak"? It is not in the suggested words by Duolingo.
