Waiter was really something. Instead of explaining the dishes after our request he said "You can read it yourself. It's all explained in the menu". So we ended up ordering all spicy instead of regular plate even though only one ingredient was listed as spicy...in the menu. After we brought this to his attention, he dismissed us with "That's what you ordered'. We ended up ordering additional dish for kids.More

Very nice place to enjoy Balkan cuisine. Reasonable prices and portions (not so huge as you might expect from reviews). Quite a lot of tourists. We loved steak karadžordžev, roasted peppers with cheese and baklava.

We asked for Serbian local foods. The waiter did not suggested any Serbian food even this is a local fine food rest. He asked us if we eat pork or not. I told him i am eating, my friend doesn’t eat pork. So we will...order sth Serbian and which will be vegetables and meat. Then during our stay the waiter mannered as we are not there. He insisted on not to hearing our orders, requests neither suggestions. Then i talked with the manager and while i was waiting for the manager. The waiter came and told me that this is Serbia and we eat PORK!!! I felt so excluded and his racism manners and sayings. Then the manager apoligezed from us due to his friend’s manners and rudeness. This was our first meal experience in Serbia. I know that this gentelmen’s RACIEST’S acts are not belongs to all Serbians. We lived hundreds of years in peace while Ottoman empirement, together.More

Another one of the really good restaurants in Belgrade. The location, the ambience, the food, the customer service were all excellent. We tried the pork and chicken kebab skewers because we were not so much hungry. However, they came in huge portions, in excellent meat...quality and perfectly cooked; one of the best kebab we have tasted in Belgrade.More

It was only place in street with free table. Restaurant is clean and nice, music is good and nice. Prices are ok, similar as others. Food is not great not terrible but it could be better and you cant compare with competitors near. Stuff was...generally good and we were thinking about rate 4/5 but, we have but! After we make payment with credit card in our bill was drinks that we didnt order for more then 20 euros. I ask barmen about it and he says I drink it but ok I will give you money back! He give me money, then I ask about other point on invoice "Cuve 0.2 x2 400 dinars" he say it is for napkins, forks, spoon!!! Rly? There was 3 of us u put 2 times and 0.2 of wine!!! So, im not guy who gives low rates "usually 4 or 5", I overrate restourants but this place avoid! Dont give them chance to make monkey of you.More
