The charm of decor roped me as did the great service and prices. The pizza; salad and steak were amazing; Thank you for taking care of my Team on April 1st! I will come back soon.
We came here with a small group on a Friday night, and the place was rather empty. Our waitress was kind. The food was good. The restaurant has several different dining areas for different vibes.
Highly recommended for some good food and drinks, I had the wood fired pizza and palačinke for dessert. They had live music after 10pm on the night we were there and it was until 1am. The restaurant is very clean and nicely decorated with good detail. The service was excellent and very friendly.
Especially good when you are in the mood for meat dishes. Grilled sausages, cevaps, fresh salads good for sharing, soups and a few fish/ shrimp offerings. There is a bar area where they occasionally have music, but we are early diners do we we usually miss it
Really nice interior building, like a club really. But the food is just okay. I had the cevaps and they were decent, but it's almost like eating at a grease pit in a beautiful fine dining experience. The cevap comes with underwhelming fries, okay cheese, and some cut up red onion. Feeling so classy with the red onions cut up! NOT. I bet when this place has performances/events it's fun though so in a rare 1st time I give an extra star for the wonderful "atmosphere" here at Skadarliya, best of all it's right near one of my fav arcades.
I really enjoy the food here. The Shopska salad and Fried cheese are my faves. There is often live Serbian bands playing and other entertainment. Valet parking available also.
Since my friend and I had never had Serbian food, we tried this place before going to the arcade down the street. The vibe of the restaurant was a little confusing. The atmosphere seems like a rather formal restaurant, but there are also giant TVs showing soccer matches. A piano is also in the space for live music at night, apparently. Most of the other customers were men, except a family with a small child, at the time we were there. The menu is extensive, including a number of dishes "for two," one of which we selected (boemski mixed plate) which consisted of various grilled meats and sausages, mushrooms, french fries topped with feta cheese, and toasted bread with cheese spreads and a red pepper pesto-type sauce. (We did a lot of googling menu items as they weren't always explained/described). The meal was tasty and we definitely had leftovers. A lot of meat! I felt like i needed a salad later. Overall, this seems to be a place that has many regulars; if you are looking for Balkan cuisine, you may become one!
We came here after doing some work at ours friends new house, a treat for all the work, very nice. We started with a plate filled with grilled calamari with lemon, balsamic vinegar and cocktail sauce. The calamari was made to perfection and our server was just amazing, he kept my tea filled, and paid great attention to our table. We decided to split a sandwich, for my wife and myself, good choice as the sandwich was bigger than normal. We ordered the Serbian sandwich, see pictures, that was half of the sandwich. It comes with different meats and homemade cheese, that was super good and filling too. Our friends ordered the mixed grill platter and it looked like an order from Bedrock and that big, see pictures. The platter had kabobs and sausages with cheeses from region near Serbia. We will be enjoying items from their menu in the future and really enjoying the good times ahead.
