I'm not even sure where to begin. Friday night, not one person in the restaurant (there were 4 people outside). We came in as a scheduled party of 8. It took over 30 minutes to get our drinks. Very rude server. Dark hair, glasses. Not welcoming at all. Food order took over an hour. It was just very bad. Never once did she ask us if we needed anything. No silverware until we asked for it. Food was fine. I ordered a beer when my food finally arrived, never got it. Everyone's glasses were empty. No plates were taken away upon finishing. Took another 30 minutes to get the check. All this while we saw her sitting behind the bar area. She added autograt, which is fine for a bigger party, but definitely not deserving. To top it off, the lady had the audacity to even tell us to select a tip percentage without acknowledging that grat was already included. Very shady. No "thank you," nothing. Just walked away. Don't waste your time or money here. This was not our first time dining here, but definitely my last. Even the owner was there and he seemed to have zero concern, which tells me a lot about the establishment. read more

Service below any expectations. Waited more than 30 minutes just to get a server to even take the order. No one comes to check if anything else is needed. Ordered drinks never brought up. Don't waste your time. Find a better place. I was embarrassed to have my guests witness such service. NOT RECOMMENDED read more

Food is very good but sadly it took over 1 hour to get our food As soon as we sat down the young blonde haired bartender/waitress (who is possibly the daughter of the owner)told us we could not order cocktails because they are too busy and the music is going to start . Music didn't start for an hour after we were there and we saw other customers get cocktails ? You have to flag the workers down if you want another drink etc they need work on their customer skills Oh yuck and they allow abundant smoking inside with food being served read more

All is well with the food, however the dark haired waitress working yesterday night was awful, 15 minutes to be asked for drinks, another 20 minutes to be asked to order, and another HOUR THIRTY to actually even get some food. All while making smart comments and only serving her guests outside. added $40 automatic tip and didnt say anything before showing the tip % screen. read more

Love going to a legit ethnic restaurant only to find out how authentic they truly are. Service and food were both indicative of the warmth and kindness of the Serbian people and their culture. We tasted many dishes that were all amazing. Cabbage salad is sooo good. Homemade bread made fresh daily is insanely delish. Bean soup with the bread is omg !!! All the meat dishes were fresh and perfectly paired with their warm bread. Being an American with limited knowledge of Serbian food, I would have to say give your palette a walk on the wild side and go visit this wonderful little restaurant. You won't be disappointed. PS ... the local beer is pretty good as well !! read more

Maybe not the best service I have ever had in my life, all those young girls who work there will learn one day as nicer you are the more tips you will get. Anyway they have to work on a service, but also we live in Vegas where everything is about customer service and competition is huge. So hopefully it will be much better in future. But the food .... Is something else. All those waiting (poor girl have to cover inside and outside) eventually pays off. Food was fresh and delicious. Cevapi (Eastern European/ Turkish kind of breakfast sausages) is MUST. It's served with traditional type of bread and must be eaten with onion otherwise it sucks. Cevapi are MUST. Also Karadjorjeva snicla is a MUST, (cheese and ham wrapped in pork and deep fried) something that you will never try in any other restaurant than Serbian. I could go and comment everything but what's the point. Also Sopska salad is delicious (tomato, cucumber, onion and feta cheese) They also have outstanding seating which I prefer because people smoke inside (it's European mentality), But also I go there to eat not to comment interior or exterior Also large selection of European and domestic bears read more

If you're a vegetarian you may want to bring your own dinner.. ha-ha. What a delightful night. Apps were crepes with ham and cheese and the stuffed peppers. A more than few Bosnian beers and my buddy had some stuffed pork dish that came with French fries. He said it was amazing. I had the goulash and it was excellent. Served with mashed potatoes and tender beef. We will be back. read more

Food is not as good as my friends told me but everyone has a different taste. My biggest dislike is this establishment is not smoke-free. As soon as you open the door you can smell cigarettes. I thought it was illegal to smoke in the restaurant. We were going to dine in we ended up getting to go and wait in the patio area in the heat. They lost our business. read more

A cross between a hole in the wall and a lounge. Well stocked bar, and Serbian (Balkan) menu for the most part. It does appear that most serving staff and customers are from the old country...as nobody will greet you upon entering....furthermore everyone will stop their meal to take a glance at you before continuing what they are doing (welcome to the Star Wars Cafe). Food is all right with certain items better than others. Winners: Cevapi are definitely a winning menu item at Cafe Derbi. However do not be tricked in ordering "Kajmak" as it is only sour cream. Fried roasted peppers were good but heavy. Turns out they are loaded with cream which came-in handy when eating other drier items. Baklava type is typical for the area of the Balkans and very similar to what my mom and grandma used to make. Losers: Shopska salad ....a little tomato and lil cucumber drowned in feta cheese. Pita (cheese pie) while authentically rolled is dry and not consistent. I ordered it on two separate occasions, and both times was dry. Lastly if you are not a smoker, don't bother coming as ventilation system is not on, and the place reeks of cigarette smoke. read more

Worst experience ever! We entered with our service animal (small puppy) and the woman in the back started to yell "out only you can sit outside". She said this sentence five times in a very rude way! Then we decided to do takeout. But she grabbed the menu and decided not to serve us. If you live in the United States, you should accommodate yourself to the country's rules! The restaurant staff must allow the service animals inside! This is law! You should obey! read more

Being from the Balkans, you by default become a very picky person as everyone's Mama or Baba makes the best __________! Anyhow, my tastebuds were pleasantly bursting with delight as my "snobbish expectations" hit all my checklists. Being out of State, I flew in for a convention and brought my American colleagues. The servers were helpful in explaining things and discussing what they might like based on what they normally eat. Everyone of my American friends loved everything, all of the brandy options from various fruits the array of plates of different meats, spreads, breads, salads, desserts and so on were so legit authentic from the old Country. I fly in once a year and every time we go, my American friends will always say, "Hey, we have to go back to that Derbi place!' So they twist my arm and we love it all over again! Hvala! read more

Great Serbian food. My husband (Serbian) and I went to this restaurant while visiting Las Vegas. My husband really loved the karadjorjieva. I ordered the trout, it was pretty good. We loved the baked peppers (paprika) and cabbage salad. What we didn't like at all was the cheese pita, but we still ate it coz we were very hungry One thing to note is that people smoke inside the restaurant so if you are sensitive to smoke, it may not be the place for you. Otherwise, food, drinks and service are good. read more

They have false advertising. Do not expect their Menu prices to match their online menu prices! Service was ok. They only have one bartender that also serves people and busses the tables. So this is not very productive. The to go orders take 30 mins minimum. Not happy at all . Didn't even get my food. Waste of my time! read more

Horrible service. Forget about getting assistance quick like bills and one. Waiting is a daily routine here. When you ask for something they look at you like why is he/she ask me and point finger at another waiters. I love it for the free atmosphere but better get good service somewhere else. read more

Cafe Derbi - The food was cold too - Specialty Food Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Horrible place. I am shocked there's a few reviews (not many) that recommend this place. It stinks, everything is dirty, there's stains on all their furniture. The chubby girl who services without a mask hates life and that's definitely not the best job for her. We went in and out. Looks and smells like a cheap bodega - it was empty too (one table outside) on a Friday evening, so that tells a lot about the place. Won't be back. read more

I wish I could give this place a 0. To be completely honest, this is one of the worst establishments i've ever been to and I will never EVER support or contribute a dime at this place. As a member of the balkan community, my friends and I love to follow our culture whether it's concerts or food. The waitress, particularly the owner's daughter Tijana is one of the most unprofessional people i've ever encountered in my life. She was verbally and physically aggressive toward me and my group and her pathetic excuse was that "it's hard to do this sober" Take my advice and take your money and time somewhere else- this place does not deserve it. read more

Came here with some close friends who are Bosnian. Service was great and food was delicious. Drinks were great and the staff was resourceful (my wife ordered something that was not on the menu for a drink. They still delivered and more were ordered. Mixed grill, salads, peppers and even a pineapple/cream cake dessert. Previous reviews were right in that the cevapi was great but all the mixed grill was great and tasted good. Dessert was so good too but I was very full at this point. One thing I haven't seen mentioned is that the bread is great and what I remember for having with Bosnian food. read more

I've read some of the negative reviews and thank God I went here before they aired their grievances! I've never had a problem with their service, but then again I didn't think I was walking into a 5 star restaurant! My philosophy is treat others as you wish to be treated. If you walk in and twist up your face at the atmosphere or look for every negative thing you can find, chances are your attitude will show through and their staff won't welcome you with open arms. They've always been pleasant and efficient with me, but I always have a smile for them. As for food, I now moved 25 mins away, yet when I want the best pizza in Vegas, this is where I go. They have a full choice of delicious food, but I'm a pizza person, when it's good! Also, their crepes are delicious and always my choice when I want dessert! read more

I'm not sure what to think of this place. The food and service were excellent. We ordered a make your own pizza and it was delicious. The Caesar salad was also very big and good. But, the place was packed, no Covid-19 protocol at all. The servers wore no masks, there was no social distancing, there was 100% capacity - full - not 25%, a dog ran through the place through most of our meal, and most everybody was smoking. We felt like we were in another country, specifically, Bulgaria. I only say that because most of the dishes were based on that region. Also, I couldn't help but notice a lot of foreign language being spoken. It was fun! A great menu full of a wide selection of meats, soups, pizza, ethnic entrees of all sorts and sizes. Beef, fish, pork, sausage, etc. I'll be back, with all precautions. read more

We went with a Serbian friend who recommended the place. The food was great and the atmosphere even better but the service was absolutely horrendous. The waitress was busy and I can completely understand that but it took us around an hour to get our food and she forgot a drink for another member of our party twice. She was kind and I know she was busy so I don't fault her but I feel like she definitely should've had help serving the outside patio. Overall the food was worth the wait, but I would only recommend going if you're not on a time crunch. Slow service seems to be a recurring theme at dinner time. read more

We have been regular customers at Cafe Derbi for over a year now. We have always enjoyed the food (which is GREAT) and especially the service from Ina and Mike, both of them are amazing. BUT today we had the worst service ever, it was a night with live music not too many people and the service was terrible. As food industry people we know when a place is busy and today it was not. I had to go 4 times to the bar to get the server's attention for our drinks and ordering the food. Just disappointed. read more

The food was terrible. We love that cuisine, but they are not cooking it so well. The pork was as hard as leather, and the soup was lukewarm. The server was rude, impolite, and seemed bothered by having to serve customers. In the USA, we believe in service with a smile, not with a long horse face of disgust. The place was about 1/10th filled with customers, yet it took several minutes to get seated, and several minutes to order. read more

I was so impressed with the accepting, tolerant, kind hostess/bartender. We were traveling on Thanksgiving and many places were closed. This place is a cool Eastern European restaurant and have a diverse menu including exotic dishes as well as fries, pizza, and burgers. Im vegan and they made sure I was well fed. Their full bar was just what we wanted to complete our meal. read more

Went to order and the lady who took it was less than enthusiastic. She didn't care to ask for what sides I wanted, she stated the menu online isn't correct which shows they don't care. She was just lackluster which is how I'm sure the food is. Don't give these guys your money during a pandemic they don't want it and don't deserve it. She just literally didn't seem to care about anything and has terrible customer service and order taking skills. 0/5 wouldn't recommend read more
