We just went here for lunch for the first time and absolutely loved it! Everything tasted delecious and fresh. Portions were generous as well. The bread was amazing.
Can't believe we haven't come across this place before but will definitely be back soon.
There's plenty of parking in the lot.
This is a cozy eastern european(Bosnian if I recall correctly) restaurant in an unassuming strip mall. There aren’t a lot of tables inside, but they do have some outdoor seating.
I ordered a Goulash, a Mani Cevapi and a Cockta soda. It took the kitchen some time to prepare this order, but IMO it was well worth the wait.
I had been looking for places that serve Goulash for the past few days. It was instigated by this one episode on Curb lmao. The dish was prepared very well, it was homely, the beef was soft, and the accompanying bread/rice was very complementary.
The Cevapi was an interesting dish as well. It is a bunch of sausages, served in a lepina(flatbread) with sour cream and ajvar(relish). It was new to me, and I enjoyed the concept, as well as the taste.
The restaurant felt like a mom and pop operation, and I enjoyed the warmth of the owners. It’s a no brainer to try out this place if you are on the lookout for ethnic food.
10/10 would go back!
A fantastic halal east European restaurant in Santa Clara. The place is simple and charming with decorations representative of the Bosnian community. Really homely vibe and down to earth people.
We really liked the combination plate which include cevapi (sausages of various types served on a soft round bread sandwich which was extra tasty because of the fats it had absorbed), chicken skewers and an interesting chutney or red sauce. Enough for two hungry people. Also tried the spinach and cheese pastry which was hot, fresh and flaky. The cheese was only mildly tarty and gave a very unique flavor.
Keen to return and try other items on the menu as well. The place seems really popular.
Really enjoyed dining here. The food was delicious and reminiscent of childhood times with family. The spinach and cheese burek was a real standout! The dining area is cozy and was always full. The owner/staff were so welcoming and kind which made the experience even more enjoyable.
Delicious food! If you are vegan or dining with one, call ahead (the day before) and they can make sure they have vegan options. I had two very satisfying varieties of burek (tofu + spinach, potato) with ajvar. Large portions, great prices, and a fun variety of specialty drinks!

Amazing! The moment I stepped in the door, I was hit with a rich delicious smell. We ordered the garlic bread and stuffed mushroom appetizers. Unnecessary because the entrée sizes are very generous! Everything tasted delicious. We ended the meal with a Turkish coffee and stopped next door at the European market for some dessert/chocolates.
A Bosnian friend wanted so much to share her beloved comfort foods, so here we ended up.
I'd definitely recommend coming here with a friend and getting the combination platter. The ćevapi and lepinja were delicious. Simple straightforward food that appeals to your savory cravings.
The dessert to have is palačinke. I'd recommend getting the rosehip jam to experience the traditional flavors, floral and sweet.
There is no beer here as the food seems to be halal.
