There are a couple reasons, I suppose.

1. Romania didn't like the Ottoman Empire. It declared independence from it in 1877.

2. The Danube River.

3. The Ottoman Empire was heavily fortified on the Black Sea and therefore had control of it. The Danube River is Romania's southern border and flows into the Black Sea. Having access to the Danube would be paramount to Russia's victory.

4. One would get all the allies one could, even if the war could be won alone.

Is this good enough?

Because the Siege of Plevna. The Russians did not have enough troops to take the key strategic city because they had failed in two attacks so they asked the Romanians to provide extra troops.
