    Another nice view of the dining room, from my table.
    Marty P.

    After landing in Chicago, I headed straight to this restaurant for a cevapi meal. Cevapi is grilled sausages with raw onion, ajvar (eggplant relish) and kajmuk (clotted cream) on the side. The meat sausages are placed between two pieces of lepinja (grilled bread). Their lepinja is outstanding here! I also ordered a Slovenian coca-cola (Cocktail) with my meal. This meal was a great start for what would be a fantastic weekend in Chicago! The Uber driver who picked me up (drove to my hotel) wondered how I wound up at this place from Chicago OHare International Airport. Staff is friendly and accommodating here. I passed on Bosnian coffee. The waitress told me, "next time." I thought this was cute. Bosnian people are very welcoming and accommodating. The price of my meal with drink was very reasonable. I'm also happy to see that this place survived the Covid shutdown. Interior is clean here as well. No dirty tables or chairs. There was a television in the upper corner of the dining room broadcasting a soccer match. Lovely to see this. This place is located in a small strip mall. It was also nice to see a steady flow of Bosnians entering and leaving the restaurant. I would love to dine here again if I ever return to Chicago. The menu also features various other Bosnia dishes. I recommend trying their burek. If you've never had Bosnian Food I recommend trying this place. You will be in for a real treat! Hope you enjoy!

    Nice little dining area

    My better half and I decided to try a new place. Bosnia Grill had good reviews so we decided to stop by. We were treated a very nice woman who I suspect is one of the owners. She was nice and very helpful explaining what the items were on the menu! There were so many sausages and pies (potato pies, meat pies, etc) on the menu. We got a potato pie and meat platter. The meat platter had many different savory sausages and their home made sour cream dipping sauce. Each type of sausage was absolutely amazing and true to the foods regional influences such as Austria and Turkey!!!! Absolutely delicious. The potato pie was amazing as well. The filling was good, but the crust is huge and done perfectly. It's soft in the inside of flaky on the outside. Under the sausages were wrinkled fries that have been soaking in the sausages' juices and were incredible. We didn't try the deserts in the fridge, but they looked authentic and delicious! We were very happy to stumble into this place! The service was friendly and fast. The dining room was clean. And the food was absolutely delicious! The price point wasn't bad at all either! This place is worth the trip and we will be back. '

    Besides the space which is decorated in ethno- style and really looks interesting, I have to mention the food and to praise it. We took a mixed meat (even it says it is for 1 person, it is actually enough for 2) and it was good. The waitress was extremely kind and the food arrived fast. Would recommend!

    Hands down best PITA ever!! 10/10 Cevape and lepine were amazing too! Staff is super sweet

    Cevapi

    Cevapi is so juicy and moist. It came out fresh! Man it was amazing. There was people coming out with trays of meat. This place is a gem. Cockta was not bad, less sweet Coca Cola.

    Everything was super authentic and really delicious. I tried a few things very typical in Bosnia (Salty milk, Burek meat pie, Grilled meat platter). Although, the Kajmak cheese spread was really light in flavor, I typically prefer a stronger flavor. The space is really small with only a few tables available and their drinks only come in bottles/cans. I heard they do take reservations, so this could be an option if you want to guarantee a table. Other than that, super cute place. I'm definitely coming back here.

    Sirnica (cheese pie)

    The sirnica is 11/10. I also had the cevapi and finished the whole plate. The staff is SO nice here. I haven't been here since they redecorated and it looks so cute! I love the rustic wood look

The entrees also said they come with bulgar and rice but we did not have any bulgar on our dish..it also said we should have roasted peppers and onions, which were not on our dish either. I assume they were out of all of those? We really wanted hummus but it was not on the menu. When we finished our meal, we noticed the table behind us had hummus... it would have been nice to know they had hummus. Also, we really wanted to try the manti but did not see it on the menu. At the end of the meal, my husband wanted a coffee and the waitress said there was no coffee and the machine was broke. Service was ok. Waitress forgot our drink. Not very attentive. Dining area is small but cute. They are planning to expand the dining area so there really isn't much of a market anymore. Prices are pretty high in comparison to most Turkish/middle eastern restaurants. They do give you yummy bread and Babaganoush. I want to try it again in hopes that other menu items are available.

A few "highlights" of our visit: Dishonesty: A server lied and said there was no kids' menu (which is clearly listed on their website) just to avoid a meal substitution. When I asked about ordering chicken tenders, the server told me they didn't have a kid's menu and were only making an "exception" for my daughter. I later found the full kids menu on their website. Instead of simply explaining an age policy, he chose to be dishonest and was visibly annoyed that I even asked. Being Ignored: It took 20 minutes and multiple people flagging down a server just to get one bottle of Coke. I asked the female waitress 3 times for the Coke and she repeatedly looked at me and ignored me. It took 20 minutes and 3 family members calling out to the server to get her attention. Disrespect: The hostess literally put her hand in my face when I politely asked for a to-go bag. I politely asked the hostess for a to-go bag, she actually put her hand in my face and told me to "hold on." When she finally returned, she mean mugs me and handed me the bag without a word even after I gave her an underserved thank you. If this were my party, I'd be demanding a refund. This place makes other local diners look like five-star establishments. Unbelievable and completely disappointing. Will never be returning.
