    Kebache, kashkaval pane , shopska salad, turshiika.. all the best choice

    This place is amazing! Great bulgarian food, so yummy, very nice people who work there. If you are visiting Vegas and you miss the Balkans you MUST TRY!!! So good. I can't wait to go back

    On a Wednesday evening and we were the only ones in the place. Came to check out their banquet facilities which while not being fancy are nice and can handle 200 easily with a huge video screen. Great southeastern European fare options on the menu with some unique like grilled pigs ear! Nice tables and seats are very comfortable, well padded even at the bar. Service was excellent and helpful explaining the menu options. I had the grilled feta with honey and walnuts as an app. Greek salad was huge with large pieces. Their grilled table bread comes with pickled vegetables! Twin pork chops were tasty and well prepared. Spouse had the sausage patty and pita bread with cheese which were good, but warning about the pickled pepper was scorching hot! Caliente! Worth a try for all, as the price is very reasonable!

    Let's me start off by saying the location is very interesting lol it's right next to the green door wink wink! However once you get passed that & enter the building it's really nice! We were completely blown away by the food!!!! I got the BRANZINO & wow it was probably the best seasoned branzino ever. Very easy to eat as well I'll definitely be going back for that! My husband got the lamb chops & he said it was his top 3 favorite lamb chops! The only con I can think of is they don't have a drink menu. They have all the alcohol but no drink menu. We ordered 2 sangrias & it was all red wine with ice! lol The service is great cause it's family owned & everyone is friendly & hospitable. If you're looking for some amazing food give them a try you won't regret it!

    I brought a large group (twelve) for a birthday dinner this past weekend. You can't book via Open Table, but if you call during business hours, they'll take care of you. The woman I booked with was very accommodating. First, the place is massive and has a dance floor. It would be a great venue for a large party, for sure. Our resy was for 730 on a Friday night and there were maybe 6 other people there - but it's a new restaurant and might be more of a late night dining experience. In any case, they decorated a corner of the room for the birthday - it was so sweet! Apparently, there is a drink called Rakia (pronounced rock-EE-uh) that is a staple in the Balkans. Our server described it as a flavored moonshine. (She then proceeded to tell us that we couldn't HANDLE it...so clearly we ordered two bottles.) ...and while we managed to finish them, she was probably right! I encourage you to start with a glass of it before ordering the bottle. (It's definitely an acquired taste.) We ordered about 3/4 of the menu and while some dishes were great (the kabobs, the yogurt dips), others fell flat - a lot of the fried items weren't really crunchy - just heavy, fried food. While that's not really my jam, others liked it. The biscuit cake though - now THAT was a delight!! Weirdly (because I wouldn't expect this at an Eastern European restaurant), the red sangria was also delicious! (The white is VERY sweet, so stick with red if you prefer a less sweet, more dry sangria.) I was very impressed with the server - she recommended great stuff but the EXTRA mile she went was basically being our personal DJ. She overheard us talking about songs and then played them for us. Seriously, incredible. One other note - this place is right next to The Green Door, so I'd say go late night and sit by the window - could make for great people watching!

    This platter is the best ever

    Very upset. Traveled to Vegas for the holiday season. Husband is from Bosnia and requested we support a fellow Balkans business. We were excited to find out they could confirm our reservation. I even called and spoke to the women who personally confirmed our Google reservation. (Really!) Well just seconds ago they canceled us for a large party. Real classy business owners! Nice way to make your customers feel respected. Attached photos confirming story.

    I knew right when I walked in with my girlfriend this was a 5-star place. We are looking forward to coming back to have a nice dinner. I wish we could of stayed tonight to see the live band, but we already had plans. Definitely next time. Love the staff, the bar was really fun to hang out at, and the beer was cold and price just right. Thanks so much for this wonderful place. ps and they have a piano!!! They let me play, that was so nice.

    I read some wonderful reviews and had to try it for myself…read more The cute little place is nestled in the last sgopping center on Cheyenne before the 215. Boasting a decent sized menu of european dishes and daily specials, Bites of Europe makes everything homemade including thick pretzels, schnitzel, dumplings and more. I tried pork schnitzel in mushroom sauce and the beef and pork Pelmeni(siberian style dumplings) The dumplings were the star of the show. A large portion for an appetizer, they were delicious with or without the adjika (chili based sauce) The schnitzel was perfectly fried with a juicy pork cutlet inside but what put it over the top was the fresh mushroom sauce that could have been its own side. Even the fries were surprisingly good The prices are reasonable for the portion size and the area. Definitely worth a second trip to try more options. My only slight concern was the time it took to get my meal. However, since they cook everything fresh, it wasn't a big issue. Definitely let the server know if you have a lunch rush or get it to go.

She was so warm and welcoming and explained their menu, answered my questions about the beers available and gave me the best lunch experience I could ask for. July I was just in Paris so I ordered the dinner size beef bourguignon and it was DELICIOUS. Very tender and flavorful and melt on your mouth. Lean meat that wasn't mostly fat and the reduction was to die for. Came with obviously hand prepared mashed potatoes which made me close my eyes. I love a good potato. Especially mashed. I also ordered a lager and tried the ice cream as well as the sourdough (sourced from Italy and baked in house) I don't know what more I could have asked for. We even had a great chat. I don't believe anything happens by chance in life and I'm glad my path finally aligned me here. See you next week!

The dining room is dim and intimate but not dark. Definitely a mood. From start to finish, the service was impeccable. The sommelier was very knowledgeable with his recommendations with the wine we all could enjoy for the whole table. Our server Eric was excellent! His energy was amazing. Among the dishes we tried were the bread with ricotta, the patatas bravas(thin sliced potatoes pressed and cut into long logs) the dry aged iberico(one of the best bites of the night) the croquettes with truffle and iberico. For mains we all shared the steak frites, short rib pasta, seafood risotto, the dry aged pork(everyone's favorite) and the short rib and potatoes (super tender). As for dessert, the pistachio tiramisu was yummy but the deconstructed key lime pie is a must. This place is such a gem in the southwest Las Vegas area and as much as I want to gatekeep it, you guys have to come and try it. They are for sure getting their Michelin star next year

We did the Anima Experience and it was such a memorable dining experience from start to finish. The food was creative, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. We enjoyed the dry-aged carpaccio, chicory salad, seada with jamón, bucatini, rigatoni, pan-roasted cod, and braised short rib. Everything had its own unique flavors and presentation, and the handmade pastas were definitely a highlight. Dessert was the perfect ending -- the ginger and passionfruit crème brûlée was absolutely delicious! Beyond the food, the atmosphere felt upscale but still warm and inviting, and the whole experience felt thoughtfully put together. It's easy to see why Anima by EDO is now being recognized by the MICHELIN Guide. Definitely a restaurant I would recommend for a special dinner, date night, or anyone looking for a unique dining experience off the Strip. We had a wonderful time and would love to come back and try more from their menu!

The food made up for the busyness, the schnitzel was amazing, along with the spatzel and sausage, paired great with the red cabbage and sauerkraut. We all shared a platter which proved more than plenty for the three of us. They have imported beer which was draft, yum!

Anyone at the back tables didn't get food. When we asked about our food, the server said "if you want to eat, you'll have to get food from the other tables." Excuuuse me?!
