Amazing food, great service. I'm so glad we found this hidden gem. The meats were all deliciously seasoned and perfectly cooked. The salad was fresh. The pita bread was the best we've ever had, so fluffy and rich. I loved the hummus and the Turkish coffee. We also enjoyed the foreign beer. Highly recommend you visit this restaurant and try all of the things.

We did not meet two brothers on our visit. We had a waiter, who may have been one brother, but it was unclear. We did enjoy a rakia or two, however, so that may have clouded our judgment a bit. So, not sure how accurate the name is, but we're inclined to believe them. The two brothers make traditional Serbian food, and it is the bomb, and reminds me of my summer vacations. The food is well prepared, and you will enjoy the many specialties, as well as Serbian wines, beers, and, of course, rakia. So check it out. You won't be sorry. Trust me.

Came highly recommended by friends, and we decided to try it out after a busy day and exercising! We had the pork mixed grill to go and an extra large fries for our family of four. There was plenty of food and extra. Great flavors and well cooked food. Space is small, and parking is limited. We will be back for more takeout for sure or just the adults.

Great Yugoslavian food! I wish they made Sarma ;) the cevapi is authentic. Tastes very much like my family’s Cevapi. Get extra ajvar. Support your local small businesses, not to many places like this one.

The food is always fantastic! Generous portions, cozy environment. I can taste the love and pride in the cooking. Their homemade bread is fluffy and craveable. Truly a Portland gem, hiding in plain sight.

Delicious food and great people! Came on a Sunday night and we surprisingly were the only people in the restaurant. They have a small parking lot behind the restaurant which was great cause parking can be not great in this area. Will absolutely be going back as the food and beer was super tasty, and the service was great.

The flavors blend together harmoniously, creating a truly satisfying meal. And for those with a sweet tooth, the cornbread served with sour cream and honey is a must-try.
