My friends and I had a great dine in experience here! I ordered the Cevapi and shared it with friends. The burger and sandwich were delicious. The meat was well seasoned and cooked. The waitress was really cool, and the decor was fascinating.
Tol;dr no yogurt??? 🙃 Came here mainly for the burek (with cheese) and shopska salata but ended up getting more cause the burek is relatively small and treated as an appetizer. The salad was great. So the burek was Ok (not like home sadly) but I was surprised there was no yogurt (it's not in the menu at all), they only had sour cream. The waiter told us multiple people have asked for it, so might be a worth investment. We also got the burger with fries, and palacinki as a dessert. The fries were nicely flavored (with paprika I think) and the palacinki were nice and filling. The place itself is pretty cool, they play Serbian folk music in the background (narodna muzika). I'd come back once there's yogurt
I don't know where to start. Service was horrible. Young guy that works there should never work with people. Don't know his own menu. Don't remember orders, and kind of rude. Super slow, I waited for 1 hr to get cevapi. Food was coming like from Amazon, every 15 min one dish. So we as family couldn't eat together. They definitely need to hire better personnel. FOOD: so, so. For kids fish and chips very poor, gulas comes only with stew, no bread or something else so u can combine with it. Shopska salad vegetables were not fresh. Burek was made in the morning and when we arrived around 6 pm they just warmed up so taste was bad. Better that they have Burek only in morning when is fresh made. Cevapi, meat alone was delicious but bred really bad. So overall bad. I drove from San Antonio just to try it and left with bad taste.
This place was phenomenal. I was missing Serbia quite a bit and was very excited to find a little slice of it here in Austin. Food is good, staff is good, drinks are good. They've even got rakija! It really allowed me to reminisce.
The food was very good! This is the kind of food I prepare at home. We ordered goulash, it was really good, meat was nice and tender. Cevapcici entree was perfect. The crepes were good, baklava not so much, too soggy! Burek with cheese, too dry!!!
