I went with my husband for dinner and we had cevape and shopska salad. I am from Serbia and my husband from England and we agreed that this cevapi we had here can easily compete with ones we had in Serbia, amazing taste and meat was so fresh. Ajvar and kajmak that came with it was so good. Kajmak not like in Serbia, but still good :) Shopska salad not the best but good(tomatoes in usa and serbia can’t compare). Palacinci for desert good as well. Waitress was very nice. We will definitely go back for some more cevapi and my husband to try their sarma :) Enjoyed it a lot!

Decent food for a place that's really focused on its nightclub revenue, not so much the restaurant it seems. Don't get the Brussels sprouts though. Severely undercooked and under seasoned.

The restaurant is large and the service was attentive. However, the food was much to be desired. We had chicken, beef and lamb shishkababs. They were all mediocre. The rice that accompanied the food tasted old. Meat was rough.

We arrived early and received excellent attention. I did worry that the establishment was not properly staffed for the evening. The restaurant filled, and there was only ONE person on the floor to: hostess, bartend, waitress, etc. Can not imagine what was happening in the kitchen, too. Aside from my feeling bad for the staff at Sarajevo that day - we had an outstanding experience. The food was EXCELLENT !! We purposefully chose the traditional dishes offered, no calamari or American. And it was ALL delicious ! Generous servings, very reasonably priced ! We will be back ! It was SO, SO GOOD !

Ordered basic dishes: got the Hummus plate, and Gyro sliders, both were really good, decent portions, great pricing during happy hour. $20 and you have two dishes and a beer, not bad! Like the table next to the window, nice view

Everything thing was very tasty. My wife and I had two small plates (Cauliflower and Brussels Sprouts) and a Falafel sandwich. I desperately wanted the lamb burger too, but I glad that I didn't because we still took a significant amount of food home.

This is a night club that tries to be a restaurant by day. The food was ok. The device seemed fine. Just a limited menu in a strange atmosphere especially the bathroom.

Great prices for the large food portions. We are from out of town and went on a Saturday night. Stayed for the club after dinner and the music and ambience was amazing. Dj played all the hits. Our server during dinner was awesome. All the servers and bartenders were friendly and attentive. We all agreed we would definitely go back again.
