Bosna Nova is a great dance, and whenever I'm in Charlotte I do the Bosna Nova all the way down to the Bosna Market for some authentic Cevapi and other Bosnian treats at the wonderful Euro Grill, which is the hot food portion of this Slavic stronghold in the Southern region.
This is actually the grocery store section of the restaurant and sells a lot of cool Slavic stuff from grocery stores in Europe. Lots of imports, if not 100% imports, and you can find gems here that you literally can't find anywhere else in the Carolinas, I would say.
But the real gem is at the restaurant which is here too, so let me tell you all about that using my review of the food.
It's called "Euro Grill".
Easily my favorite place to eat in the Charlotte area selling perfect Cevapi on delicious fluffy Pita with a huge a generous helping of the red sauce which tastes like baba ganoush or aubergines of some kind.
Absolutely delicious on every level and I'm a massive fan. The girl here is really nice and the prices are ridiculously low. Honestly you can't get a better place than this and I highly recommend you all give it a try.
Most people don't know about Bosnian food, well know that you're missing out cuz this is one of the best examples of it in the whole country, and it's perfect.
So wait, this is Bulgarian food you said? Belgian?..
No, this is in fact the cuisine of Bosnia. Did you know Bosnia had a cuisine? No? Well you're missing out. It does. And it's amazing. Apparently this is Edin Dzeko's favourite restaurant. Apparently, without BD (not to be confused with VD. Not at all) Bosnia would never have miraculously qualified for World Cup 2014 in Brasil.
Cevapi is my dish. Cevapi is Cylinders of Ground (Kofte-esque) Kebab in fluffy pita with just onions. Simple. Especially if you like meat, or kebabs in general. It's one of the best things I've ever tasted, anywhere. Get it on the bread it comes on, as a sandwich, and ask for the red sauce too. F***ing heaven. The juice shoots out from the meat into your mouth (I know you're used to this in the bedroom but at the table it can be just as thrilling), and it's so flavourful and awesome.
*** Edit: I can now say that I am utterly addicted to the Cevapi. I get a little cup of the red sauce on the side. One Cevapi sandwich fills me up completely, sometimes twice (that sounds dirty, but it's not, I mean I eat half of it later, you gutter minded internet generation, you). I've tried a few Bosnian spots in NYC, but this place is considerably, remarkably better; it's the best Balkan or Slavic food I've had anywhere, now that Balkan Dining in Buffalo is gone. ***
And remember - Euronly as old as the Euro you're grilling.
Now let's finish with some rap.
