Food was great but one should ALWAYS double check the bill before paying! We had many items randomly added to the bill. After long argue with one of the waiters, we got 1500kc back from the overcharge which would probably be more if we bothered to check the drinks between each other in the group. I am very disappointed by this manipulative behavior and would never visit again.

Food was pretty alright and apart from being ignored by the service staff the entire experience was mediocre, until the point they scammed us at the end of our stay. We were marked few extra dishes and starters. Staff was willing to remove them from orders, so they probably use this scam often.

This used to be the best Serbian cousine restaurant but now it detoriated in every way. Underaged kids are serving bad quality food and last time we were there there was no vegetables for any salat.

Used to be my favourite place in prague I called to ask if the garden was open, they said yes please come we agreed in one hour I got there and the garden was closed Very rude arrogant waiter.. what a shame Wont go,back

- forgot about my beer; - tiny to none effort to explain what kind of food is in the menu; - half of the menu was not available; - no tea, only bottled drinks. Hope this saves your time. Other than that, peace looks beautiful and full of clients, has a great potential for improvement! <3

What a great venue - authentic food, refreshing drinks, beautiful outdoor seating area, a place for children to place & attentive staff. This has become one of my go-to restaurants to bring out of town guests to & we’ve always had a great time when we go. PRO TIP- get the combo! It’s a feast to 2-3 of amazing things not found elsewhere on the menu!

Tasty beer and food. They have a lot of organic meat and animal products! The huge variety of vegan meals is very untypical for Prague, but unfortunately they didn’t have the white beans I wanted and the filled zucchini lacked enough spices. Other than that, seating was nice, prices were amazing, but the service wasn’t very attentive, although he was friendly.

The whole experience was disaster. The severs, the food, the atmosphere everything. I have no idea how this got 4,5 star rating.It happend 10.22 around 15-16 o'clock. Service was awful and even in the end they asked me for a tip in a very rude way. Covid here, covid there, but this is not how you do hospitality.

Food is alright although nothing to be crazy about however the service is extremely poor. Servers always seem to be in the hurry and it is almost impossible to get their attention but if you actually go investigate you can find them smoking behind the restaurant. At one point a lady from neigboring table fell down from chair because of uneven surface and waiter just stepped over here instead of helping here. It is quite rare to see such level of rudeness in a restaurant. Also they totally messed up our bill. I would not recommend this place to anyone. .

Not sure what happened but it's not the same anymore. Came for lunch with few friends on Saturday around 1 - didn't have half of the meals (no mix for 2 or 4, no sparkle water, just a few desserts - baklava). We ordered cevapcici and pljeskavica, kajmak was missing, potatoes were from the day before so they were chewy, it was cold in the upper room (but nothing too bad), the hygiene not the best as we could see 2-3 mice walking around the doors, storage room... The service wasn't the most friendly, the guy looked like he doesn't want to work. All in all - decent food which got ruined by everything else.

My complaint against this place is the number of dishes that are crossed out on the menu and unavailable. The garden is nice, but could use some more maintenance to make it cozier. I liked my food, but thought the portion of meat in comparison with the amount of potatoes was a bit small. The service was not very attentive. Overall, it was a good experience, but given the slightly remote location I would not go out of my way to come again.

Extremely bad staff… we waited 40 min to place an order and nobody checked on us. They were serving the local Serbian customer without issues and everyone else was just a filler for the place. I do not recommend this place to anyone trying to get a meal and some nice time !

Terrible service. The waiter was extremely rude. There was no sparkling water and no Prosecco. Desert tasted like grape jelly. I had a birthday party booked, and they did not have my table booked as I requeste, and did not even apologized. They did have a table for us, but filled with dirt and bread crumbs and left over food. Not coming back

Totally agree with the latest reviews. The food is good, but the service is slow and not professional and the restaurant is not clean. There are about 2/3 of the items crossed out from the menu. Lot of room for improvement.

Gorgeous place with a rural vibe and delicious Serbian cusine. The staff is very kind and so is the owner who’s always up for a chat. You’ll always have a great and pleasent stay in a nice ambient which will transport you to the Serbian/Balkan country side. Suitable for a visit with kids.

The food and the beer were excellent. They have ISIS lemonade too 😂🤔🤔

(Translated by Google) Jovica is an absolute tragedy. After all the ode I read before the visit, of course I had the expectation that it is the best Serbian or Balkan restaurant in Prague. Unfortunately, the marketing of the restaurant in this case significantly exceeds the level of the cuisine itself, staff and especially the quality of food. When ordering, we learned that 2 that the 3 meals we wanted are no longer. For example, grilled peppers with cheese, as an appetizer. How can it happen in a Balkan restaurant with such a reputation of paprika ?? Well, nothing, we quickly picked on, in front of a rather scattered waiter. In the end, we agreed on a Grill mix for 2 people, grilled vegetables (because vegetables are served with the grill mix only as a garnish (notice from the staff)) and ajvar with pastries. The food was prepared quite quickly. The grill mix consisted of several types of meat that were salted and grilled. No idea, no spices, no smell, or at least a hint of the Balkans, which is so famous for its art of meat preparation. I had the feeling that I had ordered at the stand at the music festival. With the difference that the price was 599 CZK. Tragedy. Grilled vegetables - perhaps an even worse experience. I'd guess it was ready for the grill pan on the stove. Again zero invention, zero taste, zero hint of Balkan cuisine, Ajvar with pastries: ajvar excellent, I finally tasted something that made us come here. Pastries - I'd bet on a thawed rubber bun in the oven. Again - I would imagine homemade pastries, atypical tastes and shape, instead of a unified looking dungeon. Staff and atmosphere: first impression excellent, you feel like it lives in the restaurant, lush atmosphere. as if friendly. The second story is embarrassing, the waiters fly here and there in an uncoordinated way, they don't notice that you've already eaten for 20 minutes and you have nothing to drink for over half an hour. But at any moment you will notice a pat on the shoulders of the staff with one of the guests, which gives the impression of a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, but it does not bring you any pleasure. The third impression explained anger at the whole restaurant, a thirsty decision to get up and leave without paying. Would anyone notice ??? Yes! At the bar, the business manager will make sure you get paid. Of course, everything goes smoothly and we leave with the impression that NEVER IS MORE. (Original) Jovica je absolutní tragédie. Po všech ódách, které jsem před návštěvou četl, jsem měl samozřejmě očekávání, že jde o nejlepší srbskou, nebo balkánskou restauraci v Praze. Marketing restaurace bohužel v tomto případě výrazně převyšuje úroveň samotné kuchyně, personálu a především kvality jídla. Při objednávce jsme se dozvěděli, že 2 že 3 jídel, které jsme chtěli už nejsou. Například grilované papriky se sýrem, jako předkrm. Jak může dojít v balkánské restauraci s takovým renomé paprika?? No nic, rychle jsme vybírali dál, před značně roztěkaným číšníkem. Nakonec jsme se dohodli na Grill mixu pro 2 osoby, grilovanou zeleninu (protože ke grill mixu se podává zelenina jen jako ozdoba (upozornění od personálu)) a ajvar s pečivem. Jídlo bylo celkem rychle připravené. Grill mix se stával z několika druhů masa, které byly osolené a ogrilované. Žádný nápad, žádné koření, žádná vůně, nebo alespoň náznak balkánu, který je uměním přípravy masa tak proslulý. Měl jsem pocit, že jsem si objednal u stánku na hudebním festivalu. S tím rozdílem, že cena byla 599,- Kč. Tragédie. Grilovaná zelenina - snad ještě horší zážitek. Tipoval bych, že byla připravená na grilovací pánvi na sporáku. Opět nulová invence, nulová chut´, nulový náznak balkánské kuchyně, Ajvar s pečivem: ajvar výborný, konečně jsem ochutnal něco, kvůli čemu jsme sem vyrazili. Pečivo - tipoval bych na rozmrazenou gumovou bulku v troubě. Opět - představoval bych si domácí pečivo, netipické chuti a tvaru, místo unifikovaně vyhlížející kobky. Personál a atmosféra: první dojem výborný, cítíte se, že to v restauraci žije, bujná atmosféra. jakoby přátelská. Druhý dejem rozpačitý, číšníci nekoordinovaně poletují sem a tam, nevšimnou si, že už 20min., máte dojedeno a přes půl hodiny nemáte co pít. Ale zato si každou chvíli všimnete poplácávání po ramenou personálu s někým z hostů, což dělá onen dojem uvolněné a přátelské atmosféry, ale vám nic z požitku nepřináší. Třetí dojem vyložená naštvanost na celou restauraci, žíznivé rozhodnutí vstát a odejít bez placení. Všiml by si toho někdo??? Ano! U baru se vedoucí podniku pečlivě přesvědčí, zda máte zaplaceno. Vše proběhne samozřejmě hladce a odcházíme s dojmem, že NIKDY VÍCE.

From Jelica you could expect a really traditional Serbian restaurant, from the way the place is decorated, to how the waiters are dressed and of course the food. They have a good selection of Serbian cuisine dishes and from the ones we tried really tasty.

Horrible experience.My bf found this place on a website saying they serve excellent food. So i went there with my sister and bf for lunch. It takes me more than 45 mins to order my food. While waiting to order i read the comment here and seems some ppl experience the exact same thing....the food is not good as expected.please avoid the lamb stew... Ppl arrive after us get served before us. It is rediculus. I hope one day they will improve their service

I can imagine that this is similar to what you would get in Serbia! I liked the service and the food I got was good in my opinion. It is not the cleanest place and it would benefit from some renovations and cleaning, but overall a nice meal. Fun to try.

Perfect place, very tasty food, friendly service, definitely worth trying. Little serbian paradise in Prague

Nice people, friendly atmosphere, perfect food! The garden is child friendly I recommend it to families too.

Lovely place, amazing decorations and delicious foods. The menu is full of different foods . You can find a lot of great food for vegans and vegetarians.

Very good and tasty Balkan food

(Translated by Google) From the beginning to the end, no one almost served me ..... I had to order and pay for too long. I was the only Asian, and that might be the reason. I came alone, but the restaurant will be pretty good for families. They have small playgrounds in the garden and the guests were mostly families with children. It was my first taste of Serbian food, so I can't say exactly, but it wasn't so bad. ' (Original) Od zacatku do konce nikdo mi skoro neobslouhal..... Musela jsem moc dlouho na objednani i placeni. Byla jsem jedina asiatka, a to bude mozny duvod. Prisla jsem sama, ale ta restaurace bude docela dobra pro rodiny. Na zahrade maji male detske hriste a hoste byli vetsinou rodiny s detmi. Bylo mi poprve ochutnat srbske jidlo, tak nemuzu presne rict, ale nebylo tak spatne.⁸

Fantastic food, great choice of vegetarian courses, BF say, his meat was very good as well. Or waiter walks around the place singing. I enjoyed the atmosphere

The food was so salty it was almost unbearable.. Hopefully the chef just had a bad day. Otherwise a very nice place

It's a restaurant with Balkan cuisine served by Balkan personnel. They have a lot of traditional dishes which are very tasty. The only downside for me is the beer they have on tap, I don't like the brand so much, but maybe you do.

Great vibe, solid food, waiters were cool (hopefully not just cuz one of us was Serbian lol). Would go back again and look forward to eating in the garden

We stayed here for 2 nights. The rooms are wonderful and super clean. The place is quiet and peaceful as it is located quite away from the center, you can get there in 25 mins by tram. Service is kinda okayish but nothing to complain. You get a feeling of Motels from this place but it's way better than motels and quite affordable.

My go to place for Balkan food. Incredible Plejskavica and Cevabcici. Great attentive personal with a good sense of humour.

Wonderful ambiance and best cevapi in Prague. Friendly service too and garden is a jam for summer days.

New concept - Jelica is not anymore restaurant, but food event place. Their weekend brunch was exquisite, cevabcici is still the highest balkan standard. Highly recomended!

Fantastic food🙏🏻 great magic garden.. feel like village in the middle of the city…

Jelica is a great family owned restaurant. If you love Serbian cuisine, you won't be disappointed. The atmosphere at Jelica is great also, it feels like you are in Serbia in the middle of Prague. The service is great too.

We didn’t stay at the hotel but we visited their restaurant. We have been there in different occasions and it was always really nice , however this time it wasn’t. It seems they changed their menu and the quality dropped drastically. The service was extremely slow. It was not more than two groups of people there and they were very slow. When we left most of us faced stomach issues. I would always recommend this place but after the last time we visited , I don’t recommend it anymore.

I went there for lunch with two friends. We asked whether they had a menu in English, and the response was a dry "no." The food is very good, but there was a cat playing with a small mouse and we tried to separate them because we feared the cat might hurt the mouse. The waiter told us that they had a cat right for that purpose. And indeed some minutes later we started to hear the mouse squeaking desperately because the cat was torturing it. It made me really sick. The cat was moving the mouse around proudly under the tables where people were eating. I would never go there again.

I visited Jelica after more than 5 years and it has the same warm atmosphere I loved. Food is great and quality of ingredients is presented in each bite! And the servis is lovely too. I strongly recomand Jelica for everyone, who want to unwind and spend some quality time.

It is a very nice spot to eat. We did really enjoy the meal and ambience. I’d definitely recommend if you are around.

Worth travelling to! Didn't look at the menu, just asked them to give us a variety to share (7 people) and wow, did they deliver!

Not worth the money and arrogant service.

(Translated by Google) Very good Balkan style food. (Original) Bardzo dobre jedzenie w bałkańskim stylu.

Really beautiful place with delicious food and nice garden.

(Translated by Google) I was only here at the wedding, so I didn't try the standard menu, but the food was great, both Czech classics and Serbian specialties. Good place with a nice garden. The service is quirky, lively, but nice and everything was perfect. I will definitely try to visit here and for normal operation. (Original) Byl jsem zde jen na svatbě, takže jsem nezkoušel standardní lístek, ale jídlo bylo super a to jak české klasiky tak i srbské speciality. Dobré místo s prima zahradou. Obsluha svérázná, temperamentní, ale milá a vše bylo perfektní. Určitě sem zkusím zavítat a na běžný provoz.

(Translated by Google) Very good restaurant with an interesting menu (Original) Velmi dobrá restaurace se zajímavou nabídkou

The garden is so beautiful, the vibes is great but... We had the feeling that the waiters didn't want us to order, we tried so many time to do eye contact to order, it was really not good. Plus when the time to order arrived waiters were kind of rude and asking us to go faster... The burgers bread was badly unfrozen, the meat taste was average..

I like the food very much. We always have fun there.

Very nice apartment, good if you really just want to sleep there. There is a fridge, a waterboiler, fan, wifi, parking place right in front of the house, own key, safe for a key. And very cheap pricing! Sadly i couldn’t check out the restaurant but the garden was super nice!

Amazing food made from fresh ingredients. Loved all what we ordered. The beer is as well very nice. The decor and the garden are like you’re taken somewhere else, made with love. Only the boys from service could be faster, or one more for the busy times.

The cuisine might be attractive but: 1. Prepare yourself to get the meal you've ordered very late (+very few waiters compared to the number of visitors); 2. Book your table in very advance (we got lucky to find a table but that was the only luck...spend 2,5 hours without having the meal we've ordered. Then just left...)
