    Stuffed pepper, chicken kabob, potato salad
    Brian O.

    Incredibly delicious food. What a delightful find. Expect something different here, as they serve Eastern European cuisine. It's a welcomed experience getting away from standard American fare. Our waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable of everything available on the menu. So if you're a little iffy on something, ask questions and he'll provide excellent details. The restaurant supports wide area seating with soft music playing in the background making for great ambiance. Unless you, the reader, are incredibly picky, it is doubtful you will leave disappointed.

    Borsh

    The food and service were excellent. I really enjoyed the borsh. The family loved the kebab and dolma.

    Stuffed bell pepper

    Omg where do I start?! Returning from a long trip we wanted to eat at another restaurant but it was about to close for the day. Are we ever glad that happened!! Smak Deli Cafe is a delight. What an incredible surprise to stop in a small town in South Carolina and find this place. The food is not only absolutely delicious but gorgeous. We loved the service our waiter was engaging, professional, kind, thoughtful, and because it was 3 PM had a bit of time to get engaged in some small talk which made our day! We want this restaurant to not only survive but thrive. Someone please recommend this restaurant for an award or notify somebody they know who's in the restaurant business or restaurant investment business to go visit. These people are absolutely dedicated to what they are doing which is providing an incredibly important service to anyone who stops by.

    Chicken, cabbage rolls, olivie salad
    Valentina H.

    Been here twice now with different people and have all came out satisfied. Their olivie salad is my favorite, all the meat is seasoned beautifully, I also love the samsas and take extra home. The cabbage rolls are savory and comforting. Haven't gotten around to trying all desserts but my favorite was their crepe cake, very light and just the right amount of sweetness. The server was also very helpful and attentive!

    Dolma Rolls, Lula Kabob, mushroom salad

    Holy moly! What a fantastic meal! We lucked out and stopped by Smak on our trip to Atlanta. It's right off of I85 in the old BBQ building. The flavors were fantastic and the service was great. Wen enjoyed the chicken kabobs, Lula Kabobs, mushrooms, carrots, potatoes and dolma rolls. Everything was so flavorful. My personal favorite is the carrot salad.

    Food was very flavorful,fresh and interesting . Service was excellent - it was our first time but it won't the last . Looking forward to trying more items on the menu. Reasonably priced and there was so much on the plate I'll get another meal out of it. I was surprised that this was in Gaffney right by I85- who knew?

    Mashed potatoes and meatballs! Amazing to say the least... Very friendly very fast and very fresh! Would def eat again!

    Fast, friendly and fresh. Thought it was a bbq joint till I walked in. Gave it a shot and would highly recommend.

    Kabob, dolmas, carrot and eggplant salad

    DELICIOUS! Stopped at Smak for lunch between Charlotte and Greenville, and it was the best choice! Eastern European cuisine that is fresh, warm, flavorful comfort food. The Tajik, kabobs, and dolmas are exceptional. Generous amounts of food that didn't feel heavy. It felt great to support a family-owned restaurant. Take a break from BBQ and check this out!

    Clockwise from bottom, Lula kabobs, cabbage salad, tajik pilaf.
    Terry M.

    There's nothing fancy about this place. Plain decor, decent service, fantastic food. I ordered a meal of lula kabobs, tajik pilaf and cabbage salad. The kabobs were flavorful but nothing extraordinary. The cabbage salad was nice and acidic and crunchy. The winner was the tajik pilaf; I'd be very happy going back to order it by itself. I washed this all down with a serving of kompot, a tasty but mild fruit punch (If they let it ferment they'd have lines out the door. LOL). I enjoyed what I ordered and lol forward to going back again soon. It might help to read up on the menu offerings first.

    See all
