★★★★★ 5.0 Bjonda Haliti · Dec 2025

My husband and I dine here at least 2–3 times a month, and it never disappoints. We’ve eaten at Balkan restaurants all over New York, New Jersey, and across the country—and this is, without question, the best of them all. The ćevapi, burek, and embelsira are unmatched. Every dish is consistently perfect. I choose this restaurant every single time. As an Albanian, I can confidently say this is the best Balkan food in the United States. Forever a favorite. Thanks for bringing a taste of home to us!

★★★★★ 5.0 Pepe Milicev · Sep 2025

This is amazing! The best Balkan food so far in USA, the taste, portion size are just perfect. Easy to find, lots of parking space outside. Just a perfect place for delicious Balkan meals.

★★★★☆ 4.0 KeepItA00 · Nov 2025

Our first time experiencing Slavic cuisine and while we weren’t disappointed at all, we would have to say the food needed a bit more seasoning for our taste. The small 5pcs Cevapi “Beef Kabobs” were good and the portions were great for the price. Also if you’re thinking about ordering the “Cabbage Salad” please note: It’s just shredded white cabbage with vinegar and nothing else. We did appreciate our server for explaining the menu to us and being attentive. We will certainly be back for more of the Burek too which was also good.
