Great atmosphere. Very small place you'll miss if you're not looking for it. Food was outstanding. This was my first foray into bosnian food, but it won't be my last! read more

Best Bosnian food I have had! Very good customer service. The owners are very nice. I recommend the Chevapi. read more

Bosna Grill - Pictures of their dishes - Modern European Near Me - Des Plaines, Illinois

Love their food, staff is also friendly and service is fast. Just wish their hours were more flexible.

Food comes fast and is warm and tasty. Service is great. My only issue is that the meat is very salty and since the items are pre-made, you cannot order a low sodium option. read more

So, another review describes Bosna Grill as a " hole in the wall", which is wrong because it is a storefront. Food was very good. It was extremely reasonably priced. It was freshly prepared and hot when I took it home. The hamburger, however, have no tomato no pickle no mustard - in short it was meat and bread. So why no toppings or condiments? If it's only meat and bread the menu should specify that. The spinach pie and the cheese pie we're both hot and steamy and I thought they were good and also very affordable. read more

This place has, by far, the absolute best cevapi in the entire Chicagoland area. Believe me, I've tried just about every single Balkan restaurant in Chicago and no place compares to this. Cevapi is a type of dish made out of minced meat (usually beef) found in the Balkan region of Europe. Cevapi are typically served with onions, pavlaka (a type of cream very similar to sour cream, more of a thick substance) and a somun bread. Bosna Grill's cevapi are nothing short of perfection. Let me tell you, the cevapi are packed with a burst of flavor that your taste buds will thank you for, they're grilled at just the right temperature so that they're super soft on the outside while being juicy and tender on the inside. You can tell the cevapi came fresh from the grill and not from the oven as some places make them. They also grill the somun so that it adds a kick of flavor to the bread. You can eat the cevapi one by one or combine all the ingredients and make it into one big sandwich. The prices are extremely cheap, too. 10 pieces of cevapi with the meal are only $9. You're definitely missing out if you haven't been to Bosna Grill. My husband is a huge fan of cevapi and being from Sarajevo, where cevapi are a traditional dish, he's tried every single restaurant that serves in Sarajevo and he says this place tastes just as authentic as it does back home. I wish it was located closer to me, I would eat there for lunch several times a week! I forgot to mention; the owners/staff are super warm, welcoming and friendly! Everything about this place is amazing. I'd rate it 10 stars if I could! read more

See all

Wow! First time here, decided to eat after seeing them on Yelp. What a local treasure!!! My husband and I had the meat platter- came with a side of fluffy pillowy pita bread, and also ordered the potato pastry. Oh my gosh! So much flavor! The meat was tender and juicy, dipped it into the white cream sauce on the side. We didn't have a chance to enjoy their Turkish espresso or Baklava, that will be our next adventure! Can't wait!!!! read more

Bosna Grill - Modern European Near Me - Des Plaines, Illinois

Cleanliness, service & the food all top-notch. Woman working there could tell I was clueless when trying to decide between grilled chicken w/pita & burger stuffed w/feta. She said I should try something new & directed me to the...i'm embarassed to say I don't remember what it's called. Basically, a pastry stuffed w/cheese. It was fantastic & it impressed me that she directed me toward cheaper menu item so I could try something more 'authentic'. And, yes, it is a good sign that I was only one there who wasn't speaking Bosnian :) I will be back! read more

Very interesting place. Very small very friendly. Went in today (Saturday afternoon) it was filled with families. I ordered a chevapi which I've only had once before. Actually never heard of it before finding this place on yelp. It's basically little sausages and as little sausages go this was decent. A little fattier than I was looking for but went great with the nice bread and onions. I'm not sure what the white spread is. I also ordered a cheese pie. It was good but was a bit over powered by what seems to be margarine. They have a fridge case with cheese pop and gallons of milk. I'm sure that's great for the bear by apartments. If you are more familiar than I with the cuisine give it a try. I would try it again if I'm in the area. Maybe a different meat and that Mediterranean looking salad. read more

Last night, on a whim, I walked into Bosna Grill and had my first experience with Bosnian food. I wasn't disappointed. There was nothing on the menu I had ever sampled before (including cevapi), but I am generally a sucker for grilled meats of all cultures, so I took the owner's advice and went for the sudzukice, a spicy beef sausage. Four foot-long links of the sausage were served sandwiched between two buttery pita shells (which were wonderful), with tomato, onion, and a homemade mayo on the side. So delicious. I'm definitely on-board with any sandwich shop in my neighborhood that can turn around humble food that tastes as good as this does, so I'll definitely be back. The place is spartan, at best. Five tables inside a small storefront in a strip mall location easily missed. As a matter of fact, I worry a little about the long-term longevity of the restaurant because it's awfully hard to notice from the street. The menu is limited, too, with cevapi, sudzukice, pljeskavica (filled and regular), a meat platter (which I assume to be a mix of the three), and chicken strips as your meal selections, along with four pita sandwiches and three types of salads. There is a special of the day (sausage-stuffed cabbage, yesterday) as well. I'm okay with limited selection and I'm definitely okay with simple, basic food, so the four stars? That's for the taste. The platter I ordered made two good sausage sandwiches (er, pitas), and I devoured both with relish (the metaphorical kind - I don't keep real relish on hand at home). The owners seemed enthusiastic and eager to please as well. I hope they find success with this restaurant. They seem like good people. read more

The food is amazing! The prices are really great! Fresh food great taste amazing location close to our home! What really separates this place from other places is the customer service these people truly care about what they do! I have went multiple times to Bosna Grill and always had a good experience the food was always fresh and they always made sure we were satisfied. We will be visiting this location more regularly since the food tastes great! read more

Ohare'S hole in the wall. Don't come here for the ambience come here for the food. It's a small place not group friendly. The menu is simple which I liked and then of the other customer spoke English so I felt like I was in Bosnia making it more authentic. I ordered the spicy beef sausage and also the meat pie (Burek) beef sausage was the only spicy dish they had an even so was on the mild side wouldn't even make a baby cry. read more

Bosna Grill - Simple menu openly displayed. - Modern European Near Me - Des Plaines, Illinois

I'm an American obsessed with trying foreign food so when my son proposed this place I was excited to try it as I've never had Bosnian before. This. Place. Is. Incredible!!! It has made Bosnian my new favorite food, and service was great. read more

This family owned place is a hidden gem. Good food great people, friendly family. Keep up the great work one of the few Bosnian restaurants around that are good. read more

Bosna grill is absolutely amazing, the couple who owns the shop are very genuine, and warm. They always greet us with a smile. The food is Amazing! Kebapi are delicious and juicy, their lepinja is perfectly soft baked to perfection & the burek is crispy on the outside while the inside cheese combination is not too salty. The kafa is served traditionally. Definitely would recommend! read more

I thought this would be outstanding but it was kinda just blah. But don't let my review deter you. I was skeptical on even making the review, because everyone gave the place great reviews. So is it my taste buds ? Is there something wrong with me ? Anyway I didn't care for my meal. But again don't let my review stop you from eating here. read more

Never had Bosnian food. I can say after my trip to this place, I'm a huge fan. Don't let the location scare you from trying this place. Definitely a diamond in the rough type place. I ordered the hamburger, fiance got the chicken, and we got a spinach pie. Everything was amazing! Huge portions, great prices, fresh food. The lady taking our order was polite and friendly. A very warm welcome when we walked in. I can't wait to go back and try more of their menu. read more

The lady who works there is a real sweetheart! They have a MUST TRY cevapi and pljeskavica! As i think of it,everything they make and serve is simply delicious! One of the top 3 restaurants for Balkan food in Chicago,i might say. I would rate 10 stars if i could. read more

Great owners...very clean and meticulous...the food is off the chain....if you go you have got to order the cevape...a meat dish that resembles sausage links but has such a distinct delicious flavor you will be hooked! Served with a delicious pita soaked in the meats juice with onions...give it a try and you will be back! read more

Good pljeskavica, Great cevaps, Decent burek and pita, Good salads, great lepinje (buns), and good kajmak (cheese spread). You can't beat the value considering the prices, and overall I was very satisfied and give 2 thumbs up. The homemade food reminds me of the old country recipes. Would like to see them expand into a nicer space with better style. read more

Hidden gem! Why do they always say small hidden places tend to have great quality food! This place is a prime example! The food is beyond great! Bosnian tradition cevapi are definitely something that will have you coming back for more! Try their mixed meat plate which you can easily share with another person! Did I mention that their meet is farm raised (amish) only! Free of any antibiotics or hormones! After you have a great meal ask for their desserts! Crapes or in house cake. Everyone I brought here has been coming back ever since. Need I say more! read more

Horrible first experience at the Bosna Grill. The meat pie was old greasy really bad quality. The owners of the place did not understand good English. On the manual pie was listed for six dollars and in the end I got charged nine dollars with the explanation that she did not have the small pie and she gave me the big pie and it was no details small pie six dollars are big by nine dollars. She got very aggressive when I pointed out in the menu the price. The soup the vegetable soup did not carry any quality it was simply boiled vegetables I wanna pre-prepared Chicken stock. There are so many better choices and big beaver than this one I don't recommend at all . read more

It is very rare we find a place that everybody in the family loves, but this is it. "Mama, I want more meat." My two year old could not eat the cevapi fast enough. We also ordered the Bosnian hamburger, the cheese burek, and meat burek. Only wish I had ordered a salad because the food is so incredibly rich. Something lemony and cucumbery would have been a welcome palate cleanser. But, that's on me, not them. Great food at a good price. This is going to be a go-to from now on. read more

We were intrigued by the mention of Bosnian food. Wanting something different we walked from our hotel and were pleasantly surprised. The menu is simple, the food was fresh, the bread hot and chewy right out of the oven. The "pies" take a bit longer to prepare but worth the wait. We had spinach and cheese and it was delicious. For dessert, we had the Bosnian pancakes which are similar to crepes. Prices are very reasonable. Three of us had more than we could finish for $36. The "waitress" was the owner's daughter and she was delightful. She explained the dishes to us and was very attentive. The location is very understated and easy to pass unnoticed but we will be happy to stop in again when we visit this area. read more

Gotta love having my native food restaurant 5 min from my house!! Nothing better than cevape mmm great customer service too!!

No midwest blandification of the menu at this nice little Bosnian cafe. Very flavorful burger and two sorts of sausages. Interesting cheese on the salad and a rich buttery one served with the meat. The traditional bread seemed perfect, maybe the star of the meal. Therefore this may not be the best choice if you are gluten free. read more

too expensive and food is not that good ...gross 7 hurmasica 1 cockta 1 cheese pie 25 dollars ! read more

Very tasty and large portions. I had the cordon blue and it was delicious. The pepper salad was a yummy starter especially if you like garlic. They also make their bread in house and it's super soft. Will be back....soon. read more

If you are looking for a traditional American hamburger, this place is not for you. However, if you want a cook/cashier who barely speaks English and a patty that is wide, flat, juicy and full of flavor this place is for you. The bun tastes great as well, but don't try to eat this Bosnian burger with your hands. The burger was served with onions and tomatoes on the side along with this fantastic tasting cheese. However, I wanted a lot more cheese. I plan to go back next time I'm in the neighborhood to try some of the other meat dishes. read more

I went in this place studying the dilapidated strip mall it is located. I had never been or heard of a Bosnian food and tried this out. It didn't seem to exotic and was a mix of German and Turkish looking foods. The pancake and pies were pretty good but the menu is limited it seems. This is a unique and small place and it is good to see some different cultures I the suburbs aside from the corporate and Mexican stuff. read more

If you are from Ex-Yugo Balkan region or are in a mood to try something new, this is the place to check out. Very clean little Location with great Cevapi and friendly owners.The prices are moderate. We'll be back for sure :) read more

i visited this place and i had wonderful experience about Bosnia food .i like spicy food {since i have Asian back ground} there food was so delicious , inside environment was good the most likely thing is presentation.And the people were so friendly, i was not expecting prices so cheap in suburbs with fresh salads it make a big difference, so thank you people for a fantastic and delicious food read more

This food is amazing. I was surprised how good their food tastes, especially the pita bread. This was my first time coming here, but I will be a regular customer now. read more

The best cevapi in Chicago area!!! I felt like I was in Sarajevo again. My husband and I found this place after a long walk by the Des Plains River and will definitely come back soon. read more

Super friendly service and great food! Sort of small inside, and once they were randomly out of country for a month, so maybe call before going to make sure they're open. read more

It Spring and it was time to add this place back on my culinary trek. I was hungry and back for more cepvapi. They were as good as before.. There is something about the bread...it has that moistly steamed but grilled on the surface texture. Totally awesome. The hostess, yes the attractive blonde, mentioned that everything is homemade. Yeah, I can totally buy that! ;-) The decor is simple and you can watch European soccer that appears to be streaming from satellite. But come here for the food. I will be back! read more

It is good, but I'm struggling to see how it has got all the 4 and 5 star reviews. I know what this food is, I grew up eating it and venture out to numerous places on the north side that serve it. Since it was my first time here I ordered the mixed meat platter. I have to say that I was looking forward to the cevapcici based on the reviews I read here. This is where my disappointment started. They were store bought Sarajevska Cevapcici. As easy as they are to make, for this style ground beef and ground lamb, add garlic, salt and pepper, they were surprisingly bland. I could have just as easily have stopped by numerous places closer to my house for homemade food for the same price. The chicken while cooked perfectly was underseasoned. The shining star of the plate however was the pleskavica which is basically a Balkan hamburger. Cooked to perfection and full of flavor. That said I will be back and will not be ordering the mix plate but the pleskavica. I will also give the Bosansko Pleskavica a try as well which is the standard but from the menu it appears they top it off with feta. read more

Love this place! Small place so service at times can be slow but worth the wait. If possible I suggest ordering ahead of time to eat in.

Can't praise this place enough! The best Bosnian place hands down. The food is delicious. It is always freshly made and great quality ingredients. I highly recommend the Srnica and Cevapi. The people that work there are some of the nicest people I know. I love coming here! read more
