It pairs so well with the food and it tastes way better than an American Coke. It's also herbal meaning there wasn't caffeine keeping me up at night. & Sopska Salata (7/10) This might be because I'm not a big salad person. & Cevapicci (10/10) This sounds like the most well known Serbian dish and Balkan Taste did an excellent job! Given my dietary restrictions, I wasn't able to put the spread, though others in my party put the spread on the bread and it was even better. Bacon wrapped pork loin (10/10) This was the most tender pork loin I can recall eating! I had some initial doubts whenever I hear "pork loin" though I was so pleasantly surprised. It paired so well with the mashed potatoes. It's a special dish so if it's available, definitely get it!

The staff, especially the girls, are always eager to make sure you're happy and well taken care of. The only thing I'm not completely thrilled about is the food. It's not bad--far from it--but everything I've tried has been just average. I absolutely love octopus and figured I couldn't go wrong with it, but unfortunately, even that didn't compare to other places I've had it. That said, everything else is perfect. Maybe it just comes down to personal taste, but I've tried many dishes here, and none of them really stood out.

The interior decor was amazing, and our waiter was very friendly and offered nice recommendations. The dip platter, chicken hearts, and beef tongue with tripe were all nice appetizers. They were easy to share, and I enjoyed each of their flavor profiles. The beef tongue and tripe was very tender, and I enjoyed it while it was my first time trying it. Moreover, the chicken hearts were covered in aromatic spices and vegetables. The seasoning for this dish was nice. Lastly, the platter of dips was great since you can try 4 different things. Our main courses were also wonderful. The meats were cooked to perfection and seasoned well. The portions are very generous and well worth the price. The cake Mehanata and fig cake were also great desserts. They were light and sweet. Both of them were a great addition to the meal.

The fries with feta is a must since the cheese added a nice creamy mouthfeel and the fries were crispy.

Said it's what they grew up with and they've not had better. The friend I was traveling with was on board so it's how we both ended up having Serbian in Chicago. Lots of parking. Small private lot. Street parking galore. It was a sleepy evening. There was only one party (of four) when we went in. I have to admit, I was skeptical. But the aroma wafting from the kitchen ... My friend and I shared everything. Generous portions. I stuffed myself beyond what I should have. But I couldn't get enough of the grilled meats and roasted vegetables. I could have eaten nothing but the lepinja and kajmak but putting them altogether was so tasty that I just kept eating and eating. The one woman show - she was awesome. Not much English but wasn't needed. She was so pleasant and welcoming and the barrier wasn't an issue - at least for me. As she was a one person team FOH, there were times I wondered if she was also in the back cooking as she would be gone here and there but would show up right when she was needed. I don't know of many Serbian restaurants here in SoCal but when I do (and remember that is), I'll definitely go and see if it compares. I just know it was an excellent meal on my last evening in Chicago for my summer road trip.

I walked to a strip mall (which had parking! woot!) into this unexpected little spot. The nice staff let me know that they were still prepping and that it would be amount a 30 minute wait. It was no problem for me as I was able to connect up to an Xfinity wifi spot and take 1 of empty tables! I ordered the sirnica which is a crispy cheesy cheese pie, and wow! It was HUGE. I took half of it back to share with friends, but it was piping hot and the cheese was pretty perfect. It was crispy on the outside with a perfect structure for a crisp but not too hard or difficult to heat. It also reheated beautifully the next day! Prices have gone up to $12 (I saw earlier reviews for $10 burek/sirnica), but still really good value. I'm not in this neighborhood often, but when I am - I'll be back to try the rest of the menu.
