How we read reviews →Authentic Balkan cevapi, lepinja and mixed grill platters in a warmly vibrant St Albans setting
Warmly lit and lively with an authentic Balkan European energy. generous wooden-board platters, convivial noise, and live folk music on Saturday nights that makes the room feel transported. A celebration venue at heart, flexible for groups large and small.
Live music Saturday nights; raised wooden board platter presentations; cevapi eating contest (52 cevapi in 10 min. free if you win, name on board); sister restaurant in Reservoir; banquet-style shared platters with kajmak and ajvar
One of Melbourne's most authentic Balkan dining destinations. verified by multiple diaspora diners from Macedonia, Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia who describe it as tasting exactly like home. Cevapi, kajmak, ajvar and lepinja are all executed to tradition.
Predominantly praised for generous portions at a fair price. A small number of reviews cite overcharging or high pricing for specific set-menu orders. mostly resolved by ordering from the standard menu. Individual mains are seen as good value.
