Bahar Cafe is one of my go-to spots. This is where I come to sit down, slow things down, have a cappuccino or Turkish coffee, and read or do Bible study. The atmosphere is calm, never overly busy, and just has a great vibe all around. The coffee is top tier--honestly the best cappuccino in town. And the food is just as good. The gyro is phenomenal, and the goulash is one of our favorites. What really sets this place apart is that it's a small, family-run business. I've been going here for years, and I genuinely love this family and what they've built. You can feel that it's authentic and made with care. If you're looking for a peaceful spot with great coffee, great food, and real people behind it, this is it. read more

What a great find! Our friend took us here when we were visiting. I don't think we would have even found this place without him showing us. It's a cute lil restaurant and convenience store. We ordered a few items and everything was delicious. It took some time for the food, but that was fine because it was worth it. The portion size was pretty big so bring your appetite. There was only one person prepping the food from what we could tell. The staff were all friendly. If I'm back in the area I'd definitely go here again. read more

I wasn't sure what to expect but went based on the previous good reviews and my curiosity on a new region of food. The sausages were very delicious and I loved the bread that came with the meal! As others said, not a lot of vegetables, but we had a bunch of leftovers that made for a great breakfast the next day. The small market area was neat and also unexpected, had a lot of goodies from Europe including frozen goods, coffee, candies, and snacks. Kind of regret not buying anything from there! read more

I don't often write Yelp reviews, but I felt compelled to after the amazing meal I just had at Behar Cafe! I ordered the Gulas ($16) and Kid's Cevapi ($10), along with a blood orange soda ($3). Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and home-cooked, and the husband and wife who run the place are wonderful. If I lived in the area, this would be a spot that I regularly visited. I can't recommend this place enough! read more

Driving trough on vacation and saw this place. Wanted to try something different and glad we did. Nice place. Up front has the restaurant seating and small grocery in the back. Server was very helpful and friendly. Food was all great. Had the sausage and the burger. I recommend this place. Big portions with a decent price. Call first to make sure they are open. Family owned and operated so they were going to be closed the following week to take a vacation. Also has clean bathrooms. No changing table though. read more

Best cappuccino in town and a wonderful selection of HOMEMADE Bosian entrees. Portions are very generous. This is a Mom and Pop type of restaurant and a way to support a local business. read more

10/10 experience. The service was wonderful and the food quality was outstanding. The flavor was there and the temperature was perfect. They have a wide variety of Balkan goodies to choose from in the grocery section as well. Totally recommend! I suggest you try the Burek. It's a phyllo dough swirled sort of in the shape of a cinnamon roll, filled with ground beef and onions and seasoned. read more

This place is awesome. The people are nice. My father in law sits here for coffee a couple of days a week. The food is great, and my husband and I come here every time we come to bowling green. read more

It's absolutely wild to me that a full-on Bosnian restaurant can be found in little old Bowling Green. This place is super authentic, complete with guys wearing leather jackets and sunglasses, sipping tiny coffees, who watch you suspiciously as you order in English. Everything I have had here has been delicious, but my favorite thing is the meat platter. Which brings up a good point, do Bosnians not eat vegetables? Everything on the menu is pretty much meat or bread. Attached to the restaurant is a nice market full of uniquely Bosnian things as well as more general eastern European goods. read more

The food was fine but NO ONE was wearing a mask that worked there, nor did any new patrons that came in were either. We ate quickly and left as soon as possible. Probably should not have stayed to begin with. Clearly the restaurant is not taking the pandemic seriously. I would not go back again because of the health hazard. read more

FANTASTIC! I had attended a Bosnian cooking demonstration at WKU, which got me interested in trying Behar. Everything we got - stuffed peppers, veal sausage, and spinach pita - was amazing. Truly a gem of Bowling Green's food scene. And get a cappuccino! They are amazing. And to top it all off, the staff is so friendly and welcoming, it was like being invited to someone's home. Will be back many times! read more
