Wonderful Balkan experience, great service

Truly great Balkan cuisine, traditional dishes, sometimes with a twist, tasting great and accompanied with variety of drinks from the region, all that at very reasonable prices. Service is excellent and ambiance is good, too. Fully recommend for date nights, friends and family gatherings, etc.
