    Sarma
    Lena M.

    Two of my best friends are Eastern European. One is Romanian and the other is Serbian. Through the years I've had some really delicious food from parties and get togethers with their families. Bosna Restaurant has always been in my "RestaurWANT to Try" collection. I'm grateful I finally got the chance to try them. They're located in a strip mall so there is a lot of free parking available. When we went it was a two man show so the service and food took a little bit. I ordered my favorite dishes I've had at my friend's place. First of all, it was so much food I had to take it home. Second, I should've ordered something different because I think I was longing for specific recipes. They were still pretty good. I wish the sarma wasn't as salty though. The cevapi came with warm bread and the sauce was perfection (like ones I've had in the past). This was a 3.5 star experience for me. My boyfriend got a coffee and philly cheesesteak. He liked trying both. I loved that everything felt fresh. This is a lovely comfort food space.

    In the same way walking into the bright dining room is a shocking contrast to Bosna's dark exterior, the hearty deliciousness of Bosnia's food stands out against the minimalist decor. The grilled meat cevapi is perfectly seasoned and the crisp, fresh onion adds a contrasting crunch. The rich, meaty, savory goulash pairs nicely with the simple mashed potatoes. The sweet honey and tart lemon add tongue-teasing interest to the shortbread cookie. A meal at Bosnia is not complete without Bosnian coffee. If your ideal coffee is a light-roast, vanilla iced latte, this is not the coffee for you. Bosnian coffee is strong, bold, unfiltered and served (in a beautiful set) with only sugar. Cevapi $8 Grilled dish of minced beef in finger-sized sausages served in lepinja bread with onion, ajar and sour cream Goulash-Halal $15 Beef Stew served with mashed potatoes and Lepinja bread Hurmasica $3.50 Sweet Bosnian Shortbread cookie covered in sweet honey and lemon syrup Bosnian Coffee $3

    The food was great! I was very impressed with my coffee and dessert (Harmasica)! The Cevapi was delicious, the taste of the bread was awesome. The facility was clean and staff was prompt. I would recommend you check this gem out! I was reminded of my trip to Croatia, very authentic food! 10/10

    Awesome place that has a lot of food from the Balkans. The owner is a swell guy and it's a place I will definitely come back to.

    Meat platter for the Fam!
    Daniel G.

    This place if 5 stars over amazing! Great service, delicious food, and awesome place overall. This is a family favorite, we have come here 3 times as a family and plan to come back often. If you are anywhere need this place, make a plan to come here and eat. Spend some time and enjoy it. It takes a little time but the wait is worth it. Food enough for the family and more. Come in and eat here, you will not be dissatisfied, guarantee.

    Amazing place. Will certainly support this business more. No one should suffer the indignity of going hungry. Is it possible to buy a meal for those in need to lessen the burden?

    I would like to say that I've lived down the road from this place for 7 years and I have slept on…read morethis place hard and if you're reading this, you probably have too. I asked the owners how long they've been here (assuming it was only a few years). This unassuming store has been here for 25 years. I went here on a whim and let me tell you, I will be a frequent customer. This is a hidden gem of a grocery store. Some of the things that caught my eye were: * Imported European butter (high quality butter). * Tons of imported, cured meats * Perogies, meat dumplings, mashed potato dumplings, etc. * A fantastic selection of tasty mustards * Pickled & fermented items such as sauerkraut, pickled vegetables, pepper spreads * A wide variety of tasty jams * Fresh farmer cheeses * Imported Cheeses * Homemade desserts * Homemade, old world, artisan bread * Much more Another person left a comment exclaiming that items here are pricey. I want to share my thoughts and why I think it's 5 stars and not pricey. So, first, I love the salami here. I bought a few kind of Salami but the German Salami is very nice. Now that being said, as of today it's like $20/lb. But, few important things to note. 1) it's Imported from Europe. 2) The richness & complexity of flavor is so much better than your $7.99/lb grocery store chain salami. The flavors are complex and wonderful. It's truly something where you keep wanting more. This is ideal for a charcuterie board or something where you want people to really notice the bold flavors. It is worth the price. Secondly, their homemade desserts are out of this world. I guarantee you that you have had few desserts that are this good. They are unlike the processed junk we get even at nice grocery store bakeries. One bite and you're in heaven. So much so we went back immediately the next day to get more. Third, they are making their own variety of bread loaves. I wish I had gotten a picture but they are as beautiful as they are delicious. This isn't old world bread. Artisan bread. You aren't getting this elsewhere. Overall, the quality of everything is just very good. It's a taste of eastern Europe. It's a treat and a delight. You should do in and try it. You won't be disappointed. Sure, many of the products may be unfamiliar or even written in a language you might not understand. But the staff is friendly and we're glad to answer my questions. As I am sure they will be glad to answer yours. And, honestly, go in and ask them what they recommend. Try thier favorite foods and favorite desserts. I tried their black currant dressert (black currants are not widely available in the US but are delightful) and I never would have if I didn't ask for a recommendation. At minimum, go in and get 1/4lb of cured meats, some dessert, some bread, and why not some mashed potato dumplings (perogies)... You won't be disappointed.

He strongly pushes online ordering (there's even a sign saying it's preferred), yet the third-party ordering website frequently freezes or fails to accept orders.

This time, I ordered online as instructed and arrived at the pickup time, only to be ignored for about 10 minutes despite standing right in front of him. When he finally acknowledged me, he couldn't find part of the order, then angrily threw the food on the counter and demanded payment--even though I had already paid online. He refused to accept an email receipt and said he doesn't give receipts at all. So I paid twice. On top of that, the online prices were nearly double the in-store prices, with no clear explanation when I inquired. Great food does not excuse terrible customer service. The experience is stressful, unpleasant, and unprofessional.

My only disappointment was the bread, which had the consistency of being grilled on a flattop (it wasn't crispy as you'd expect toasted bread to be). The broccoli salad was tasty, but could have used a bit more dressing. The staff was super friendly and helpful. I will definitely frequent this establishment whenever I'm in the mood for a healthy-ish lunch.
