    We celebrated a birthday here. Authentic Balkan flavors, warm ambiance, and friendly staff made it a special night. Highly recommended!

    Excellent, authentic food in a family run restaurant. It's a bit out of the way, but you'll really enjoy the food. Reservations are recommended as this place gets very busy... and for great reasons.

    It is hard to tell if food is good, because after spending almost 40 min waiting for a waitress to take our order, we gave up. We had a small kid who was hungry and were seated outside in the sun. It's not the greatest experience. It seems the restaurant was understaffed, and the waitress didn't really manage to keep track of what's going on (some folks who came after us did get a service).

    The best restaurant experience I had so far. The place was quaint and cozy. Service was amazing, the wait staff were very accommodating and nice. The food was beyond words and for that price, I was just shocked. I recommend making a reservation because the place was packed.

    Excellent Balkan food - menu is in Polish only, but worth the effort if you need to translate. Simple folk food prepared perfectly (btw, this is way harder to do than fancy "chef" cooking). You will leave FULL. Note: they are booked out on a Sunday.

    I do not recommend this place. We came to the cafe, there were free tables and partially reserved ones. However, the waitress did not even agree to serve us at a table ( for two persons), citing that everything was taken. The impression of the cafe was so-so.

    Absolutely amazing food and service. If you just want to reminisce about your holidays in the Balkans, this is the place where you will pamper your palate and soul. Thank you so much for spoiling us with an amazing birthday experience.

    Amazing and best quality Balkan cuisine. Just I love it! Food excellent and delicious. One issue the parking problem.

  • 1/5 Kasia C. 3 months ago on Google • 10 reviews New
    Unfortunately, the food was hugely disappointing. The portions are large, but the meat is unfortunately so badly cooked, that it is barely eatable. Very salty, chewy, greasy. The number of reviews is highly suspicious- seems like they are not genuine. To prevent food waste we took it home- it served as addition to bigos after 2 hours of cooking… otherwise, we would have to bin it. The positive aspect was the decor with nice atmosphere. Not food, sadly…

    Hidden gem in Warsaw. From outside it does not look very good but inside it has cozy atmosphere. Menu is in Polish and staff doesn't speak English. However staff is very friendly. Our waiter tried to teach us how to say dish names in Polish. Food is great and portions are huge. From my experience huge portion sizes are common in Poland.

    Nice atmosphere, nice fish, more salty dishes than they should be, food is not super great, but yet affordable! For more info about top places in Warsaw check my Instagram @la.vida.rica

    Very nice place. We went as a group of 8 and we were very quickly seated and served. Everyone enjoyed their meal and the portions were rich and filling. Excellent place.

  • 5/5 Petar Popara C. 1 year ago on Google
    Very best and unique expirience of Balkan cousine in Warsaw. Minced meat quality that can be even competetive to most of Balkan restourants. Hvala

  • 5/5 Elena W. 9 months ago on Google
    Great place. The portion per person is big. It was so delicious that I ate all of it and then died of course, but was worth it😅

  • 5/5 Ólafur Torfi Y. 8 months ago on Google
    Nice traditional balkan food. Friendly staff. Good value. Toilets could do with renovation, and menu with translation to english. But the staff was friendly and spoke english welll

  • 5/5 Roma K. 4 years ago on Google
    Georgeous food, I was impressed! Authentic Balkan food, for me seemed like home-made, natural and tasty.

  • 3/5 Tomasz K. 3 years ago on Google
    Well, honestly...? Just OK... Nothing more. The food is good, but the restaurant's building is awful. Lack of atmosphere when sitting outside. Portions are medium sized, the taste really differs form what you can have in the Balkans. And the prices! Way to high for what you get. Don't get me wrong, the place is fine, but it's definitely less than I expected from the place with almost five stars in Google.

  • 5/5 Joseph S. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best restaurants I have been. It is not a very fancy location but I'm sure I will go again many times more in the future.

    Don't ever order the t-bone lamb steak its expensive and hard like rubber 😫 Maybe just a one off bad order but definitely would not take the risk again But the soup I had was 10/10 authentic Lamb Corba
