Food was delicious! The cevapi was my favorite and the service was amazing! When my son got a little antsy towards the end of the meal they brought out toys and played with him. We will be coming back soon!

The roar of Elmhurst Road and the reek of cigarettes enhance the flavors of Slavic delicacy. Beautiful espresso and sexy waitor. Extravagant, I genuflect.
