Un.be.lievable!! SO much food! So good! From the simple shredded cabbage salad to the chicken and sausage grilled to perfection, this wasn't a dinner - this was a feast! It was my first experience of pljeskavica, and simply long to be able to have it in my hometown. I brought some leftovers home, grilled a couple of buns in butter, and added onions and an aioli, and it was one of the most flavorful sandwiches I've ever had. The French fries were perfect as well. I couldn't eat another bite, and...what? Dessert? No, I couldn't possibly...crepes? Well, maybe a bite or two (yeah - finished it). This will DEFINITELY be on the list when we return to Chicago. What got me is this place is in Brookfield. My work had a conference at the Brookfield Marriott back in 2016, and we were looking for great local food places. At least we know about it now! Oh - and you must know how to speak Serbian. No English.

Had a great time here with both the food and the staff. Very welcoming and our server offered suggestions and explanations of all the dishes. I'd be a regular here if I lived closer.

Loved this place! Our first visit to a Serbian restaurant and we had a blast. About every 20th word from our high energy waitress was English, but we figured it because she was very expressive. The warm white pita bread with the Serbian cream cheese--amazing. Beautifully grilled meats, fresh roasted vegetables, fresh green salad. We ate our fill (over ate, actually) and still had enough to take home for another full meal for each of us. Loved the atmosphere and the staff. The place is small but has great charm. Lots of photos all over the walls of all sorts of celebrities, athletes, etc. Needs a picture of Nikola Jokic!

The staff was very welcoming. They don't know a lot of English but the waitress will help you order what is good. Food was excellent, huge portions. Service could have been more attentive.

The Serbian food is really good and very authentic. The restaurant is a little small and not too fancy. But the food makes up for it. Service is pretty good. If you call in sometimes they have a hard time understanding. Have a little patience.
