    Gulas (very tender beef stew with mashed potatoes) + Blood orange soda
    Christy H.

    I don't often write Yelp reviews, but I felt compelled to after the amazing meal I just had at Behar Cafe! I ordered the Gulas ($16) and Kid's Cevapi ($10), along with a blood orange soda ($3). Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and home-cooked, and the husband and wife who run the place are wonderful. If I lived in the area, this would be a spot that I regularly visited. I can't recommend this place enough!

    Authentic Bosnian Fare. Excellent service. Clean. Massive portions you can box up and take home for later. I'll be returning just to try different things on the menu.

    Sausage

    Driving trough on vacation and saw this place. Wanted to try something different and glad we did. Nice place. Up front has the restaurant seating and small grocery in the back. Server was very helpful and friendly. Food was all great. Had the sausage and the burger. I recommend this place. Big portions with a decent price. Call first to make sure they are open. Family owned and operated so they were going to be closed the following week to take a vacation. Also has clean bathrooms. No changing table though.

    10/10 experience. The service was wonderful and the food quality was outstanding. The flavor was there and the temperature was perfect. They have a wide variety of Balkan goodies to choose from in the grocery section as well. Totally recommend! I suggest you try the Burek. It's a phyllo dough swirled sort of in the shape of a cinnamon roll, filled with ground beef and onions and seasoned.

    Mixed meat plate

    We came across this place accidentally. It is very authentic and simple but the food is amazing. I took mixed meat plate and it had 6types of meat and all delicious. Our kids are pretty picky but they ate it all. Highly recommend.

    Sarma. Bosnian cabbage rolls.

    You know it's going to be authentic when you walk in and you're the only native English speaker. Go where the locals go. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. The food is always served hot and delicious. Try something a little different and come here. You won't regret it.

    FANTASTIC! I had attended a Bosnian cooking demonstration at WKU, which got me interested in trying Behar. Everything we got - stuffed peppers, veal sausage, and spinach pita - was amazing. Truly a gem of Bowling Green's food scene. And get a cappuccino! They are amazing. And to top it all off, the staff is so friendly and welcoming, it was like being invited to someone's home. Will be back many times!

    We come here often, the food is very delicious and they sell a good variety of Bosnian groceries. The Service is great, and the owner Zejna is very friendly.

    Anna's Is the Foundation for My Love of Food…read more I first walked into Anna's in 2007 at the old location on Three Springs Rd. I was a 21 y/o small-town Kentucky kid whose culinary range extended to chicken tenders and French fries. I had no real curiosity about other cultures through food. I wasn't looking for adventure. I just wanted dinner. Then I took my first real date there. We ordered the lamb gyro, saganaki, and tzatziki. I still remember that saganaki arriving and the server screaming "OPA!", as it hit the table. That meal changed something in me. It was my first true cultural food experience, and it expanded my imagination in a way I didn't even understand at the time. From that point on, I went almost weekly. Everything Anna touches is gold. There is intention in the flavors, pride in the execution, and warmth in the experience. One night around 2010, I was the only customer in the restaurant. Vilson was serving me. I confidently ordered a White Zinfandel. He laughed and said, "Oh, some sweet tea with a bit of alcohol in it, eh?" Then he brought me a glass of Greek wine on the house instead. That small moment meant more than he probably realized. It was my invitation to GROW. I live in Seattle now. I've become an Elite Yelp reviewer and spend much of my time exploring restaurants, chefs, and cuisines from all around the world. I seek out bold flavors. I travel for food. I write about it constantly. And yet- twice a year, every year, when I return home to Kentucky, there is one place I always make sure to visit: Anna's. Always. Because this is where it started. If you read my Yelp bio, you'll see that saganaki from Anna's has been listed as my "last meal" choice since the day I created my account. That isn't nostalgia. That's impact. Anna and Vilson didn't just open a restaurant. They ignited a lifelong passion in a 21-year-old country boy who didn't know what he was missing. Some restaurants feed you. A few change you. Anna's changed me. Forever grateful.

    Amazing setting and the food was amazing. A must revisit when in Bowling Green…read more The staff was very friendly and the food was great.

    finally a Mediterranean restaurant in Bowling Green! It was really amazing food…read more We had the hummus, whipped feta. Both are amazing, comes with side of fresh pita bread or veggies. Falafel signature warp is good but lacked hummus in it, so had to dip it in the hummus. The veggies signature wrap with cabbage, hummus, tahini, cucumbers etc is amazing. Very good customer service also.

    Food: Dry, very dry. Ask for extra whatever - hummus, Taziki sauce, ... The meat is dry, the rice…read moreis dry, the bread makes it drier. I was really looking forward to this pace after my friend posted a notice about the opening in Bowling Green, KY. My husband and I came down today for a soccer tournament and stopped in to eat prior to the game. He ordered a beef & lamb pita sandwich and I got the Original Bowl with beef and lamb. My bowl came with greens, tomatoes, their onion "salad" (I don't know what it's called a salad, there's no dressing on it. It's just sliced onions and maybe a little parsley.) and rice. It also had a container of the taziki sauce in the bowl. I poured every drop of it onto my bowl and it was still dry. Also know that if you get your food to go, they do not have salt and pepper packets so stop and use the table containers. We also got a side falafel and to round out the experience, we ordered a baklava crepe. Ok so now that we have established the dry entrees, let's move on. The falafel is good. The outside is crispy and the inside is good, not as dry as I expected after the entrees. The crepe however was awful! If you want to feel like you are eating perfume, order it. Otherwise I'd try one of the other options. All in all, it was expensive and definitely not worth it. Would I try it again? Yes, IF it was free. Then if it was more moist and a different crepe was better, I would update my review. I want to say again how much I was looking forward to this meal and maybe that's part of the disappointment. :(
