    Clean establishment. Friendly, old-world staff. Nice ambient and the Burek (meat pie) is so hot, flaky & delicious!

    I just love this place. You cannot get better quality Eastern European food for the price! After doing a fasting blood test for 15 hours, this was the best comfort food place in the neighborhood! I ordered cevapi, sirnica and telece riznici. My mom and I split it between ourselves and we had plenty of leftover for my mom to take home to my brother. The cevape are made in house and they are just so good!! You could taste the freshness in them. I highly recommend trying them. The telece riznici just melt in your mouth!! The pita is made fresh daily and sooo good! Check this place out and please remember- it's cash only!

    Unassuming Bosnian cafe serving burek, cevapi, and other meats. I got a half cevapi sandwich (5 pieces) and a cheese burek. Everything was great but the burek was particularly good (and also massive!!!). Prices are great. Cash only.

    The owner is very sweet and the food was delicious! Only critique is that it is cash only but there's and atm right next door!

    All of the food here is absolutely delicious. This is my favorite burek place. Everything is made from scratch. Even though I know how to make it from scratch too, this one is the best. The service is good and the prices are as well. They don't sell frozen food. You get best bang for your buck. I usually place my order by phone to pick it up and enjoy it at home. Every time when I get home and eat that food I have urge to call them back and let them know how delicious their food was. They never disappoint.

    Bosnian coffee

    It's about time to receive our W2s. Are you happy with your potential tax returns, or are you getting ready to pay because you're happy to do so? Regardless what your situation will be, let's have some pocket money ready for "Coffee Slasticarna Drina," inside the strip mall on the corner of Lawrence and Campbell. Hubby and I had two (2) orders of Bosnian coffee, one (1) order of cheese pie (burek), and one (1) order of beef sausages (cevapi) for $20! We ate like royals. The gentleman in charge had a very soothing voice, and he was kind to provide some recommendations and introduce the most popular items. Everything was made to order, so wait was to be expected. Unless you would like to call ahead, I saw a few patrons coming in and out pretty quickly because they had already done so. Don't think about the "burek" as an average cheese pie you see in a coffeeshop or a pie shop specializing all-American style bakeries. They used the semi-sweet type of cheese and appeared a bit "crumbly" like egg white. The portion was quite generous; hubby and I shared the plate. On the other hand, "cevapi" was presented as a Balkan sausage sandwich, with freshly diced onion and sour cream on the side. Pieces of skinless beef sausages were embedded inside the warmed pits bread. It wasn't the easiest thing to eat, yet we managed to devour the entire hamburger just fine. Once again, this entree was also shareable. Everything that was sent to our stomaches was fantastic! They apparently had their regulars and were making themselves at home. They had a washroom all the way in the back of the kitchen. Parking should be effortless. A large strip-mall lot is available. It's also located within a walkable distance from the CTA Rockwell Brown Line station.

    Lazy morning:)

    This place is 100 star place! Homemade pies with cheese, minced beef, potato or spinach it's up to you. Hospitality is great and feel like I am visiting my aunt. We always ordered takeout when we finish our breakfast soo we can enjoy it on a lazy mornings. Everything is fresh and ingredients are high quality. Winish your meal with coffee and Urmasica. And go home happy. And always come back for more. Ps they offer variety of Bosnian grilled meat. Update: Our fave comfort food! There is nothing more satisfying after crazy weekend, Sunday morning fresh pie and homemade yogurt!! Finish your meal with black coffe and some sweets! Yup.. we love it. Always ask for potatoes pie or spinach and cheese.. you need to call it before bc they made everything from scratch and they maybe need time to bake it. Enjoy it!

    Krempita vanilla sponge cake
    G R.

    How darling is this place? Well by five stars that should give you an idea. Located in a small strip mall with parking in front of it, it can be easily be missed. Matter of fact, I have, thankfully a new friend told me about it during lunch today and we decided to walk on over for a after lunch coffee. At lunch she explained to me it wasn't as fancy as a popular place a few doors down. However, she said they had excellent Bosnian coffee, and she was spot on. Small, simple, and filled with a Bosnian clientele, the latter means it's authentic. The Bosnian coffee was strong, rich and delicious. I usually douse my coffee with cream and sometimes one sugar unless it's espresso or an Americano, even though cream and sugar was placed on the table using it would be a travesty. This coffee, stands alone, if you don't like it, you don't really like coffee. I also had the Krempita for dessert, it looks like it would taste like lemon, but it doesn't, it's a very light sponge cake with heavy vanilla flavor. I didn't try any of their entrees, but I'm looking forward to it on a return visit. Lovely lady running the shop, we placed our order and she told us to sit and she'd bring it out. When I went up to pay, she asked if I wanted anything else, I joked that we were good and we didn't want to pay. She sincerely said, well if you can't we'll be okay. She got me, I didn't know what to say for a moment. Recovering, I said of course I'm just kidding and I asked how much the bill was, she replied 5.50, so she got me again, because I replied for everything? Wow, 5.50 for two coffees and the cake, what a deal. Don't forget, cash only at this little gem.

    Sirnica (Cheese pie).
    Filip M.

    The most homey and awesome family-run restaurant. Unpretentious but with amazing food. For anyone from the Balkans, this is a little piece of home, a perfect sense of nostalgia in the form of food. Sirnica (the cheese pie) is perfectly crunchy and airy filo dough goodnes filled with cottage cheese. So far, the only place in Chicago I know of where you can have yogurt the way Balkan people have it, as a drink. Amazing! I keep coming back, and will continue to in the future.

    English version of the menu
    Joshua Y.

    For the last several years I've been an avid user of yelp, but this is my first time actually writing a review. The main reason I'm writing this is because I could not find a menu anywhere online, and I feel like a lot of people may not even give this place a chance without seeing a menu first. So today while picking up food, I took a picture of the menu so I could upload it to yelp, so hopefully this hidden gem can be discovered by more people. There are three main criteria I look for in a good take-out restaurant: Good quality food, reasonable prices, and good portion sizes. Not only do I give this place five stars overall, but I would give it five stars in each one of these individual categories. This restaurant is easy to overlook since it's small and located in a nondescript strip mall. It has seating, but I've never eaten there. Almost every time I'm there, there's a table or two with actual Bosnian people, which I believe says a lot about the authenticity of the food. I haven't had everything on the menu, but everything I have had has been excellent. That being said, my very top recommendations would have to be the meat pita and cheese pita (which are called "burek"). They also have fantastic desserts (specifically pastries), but unfortunately they're not on the menu I posted.

    We walked in right before close on Friday night, not on purpose but in hopes to finally try this…read moreplace.... OMG I could cry.... This sweet older Serbian woman greeted us with a big smile and said it would only take 10-12 mins to whip up whatever we wanted. This place is an absolute GEM - I was reminded of the old days of grandma and grandpa cooking up our comfort food and just the ambiance was perfect. If you truly know what I'm talking about you understand. . . The simple life, the smells, the smells and the pure joy of cooking up comfort meals. This Burek is hands down the most delicious I have ever had ... soft but flaky, buttery, the seasoning don't even get me started.... Mind blowing I was taken back 20 years and feeling my heart full. We also ordered a strawberry palačinke- my husband said it's exactly if not better than how his grandma used to make it for him.... We ended up taking everything to go so she could close up but she was so happy for our business and we will definitely be back!!!! Absolute best burek in the city, best ambiance, best woman cooking behind that counter - go support her!!!! She's truly living the dream!

    What a charming little shop run by a charming old lady!! Went in not knowing what to expect. I…read morenever had Serbian food but will definitely be going back for more! Filling in a way that doesn't leave you lethargic as all the food I got was cert clean and made to order! As soon as I walked in I was greeted joyfully by the grandmother who runs the store. After ordering she wasted no time getting to work in the kitchen. Totally felt like a grandson waiting his grandma to cook me an after work meal Went with the Cevapi Beef and Pork meal. (Yeah I still have plenty of leftovers in the fridge) not highflying seasoned which I actually appreciated. A basic, yet, hearty meal. Pro tip...order an extra side of their house made bread. Trust me. Definitely gotta try their Burek next. Can't wait!!

    Finally, Long Grove has a place where you can enjoy a truly delicious breakfast on a Monday!…read more We visited Fluffy Bunny this week and absolutely loved it. The food tastes homemade and prepared with so much care and love. My daughter completely fell in love with the syrniki -- they were honestly some of the best we've had. I also tried the pumpkin soup, which instantly became my favorite. My husband ordered the Nordic omelet, and when my husband compliments food, trust me, that's the highest praise possible! One of the biggest highlights for us is the amazing play area for kids. Anyone who has breakfast with young children knows that once they're done eating, they want to run and play. Here, kids have a beautiful playroom where they can have fun while parents can actually relax and enjoy a great cup of coffee. Another thing we really appreciated was the wonderful staff. The girls who served us were incredibly friendly and welcoming. It was especially helpful that they spoke both English and Russian. My daughter doesn't speak much English yet, and my husband doesn't speak Russian, so having staff who could communicate with both of them made us feel even more comfortable and welcome. And a special thank you to the owners for being open on Mondays! So many places in Long Grove are closed at the beginning of the week, and it's such a treat to have somewhere cozy to enjoy a great breakfast. Highly recommend Fluffy Bunny to anyone looking for delicious food, great coffee, a family-friendly atmosphere, and a place that genuinely makes you feel at home.

    When a friend and I arrived for coffee 8/8/26, the place appeared to have gone out of business. The…read morewebsite says it's a chain and lists locations in Long Grove and Highland Park, but there were no signs of life in Long Grove. Windows were covered, bakery cases were left on the front porch and no hours are posted outside. We were sad to not be able to try it because they opened in Long Grove not too long ago! While we were there, an Xfinity guy showed up and said he had a service appointment, but he also couldn't reach anyone there. So maybe a new business is about to move in? We'll keep an eye out!

    Had any Serbian Food recently? This Serbian food was excellent and portion were bountiful and huge…read more( we took food home since potions were large.). Don't refuse the big portions of pita bread, when offered; the pita was warm and fluffy. The Serbian salad of tomatoes, onions, green peppers, and mild cheese , all ingredients marinated in a mild, clear sauce , was a meal that can be shared by two ( or more). My spouse had the marinated mushrooms with chicken , which was very flavorful; the accompanying fries were a joy to eat. I had the signature 'stew' , which went by a local name, with subliminal spices; also very good in quantity and quality. When the food is accompanied by a thoughtful waitress , the experience is really enjoyable: she made recommendations and ensured ou experience was engaging. Not much to see here in terms of decor, but if adventurous food and welcoming people is higher on your list, then please visit.

    For starters, this was my first experience with Serbian cuisine. It won't be my last…read more How this even hit my radar - I was hanging out at a Brewery in another part of town and struck up a conversation with a couple who recommended it. Strongly. Said it's what they grew up with and they've not had better. The friend I was traveling with was on board so it's how we both ended up having Serbian in Chicago. Lots of parking. Small private lot. Street parking galore. It was a sleepy evening. There was only one party (of four) when we went in. I have to admit, I was skeptical. But the aroma wafting from the kitchen ... My friend and I shared everything. Generous portions. I stuffed myself beyond what I should have. But I couldn't get enough of the grilled meats and roasted vegetables. I could have eaten nothing but the lepinja and kajmak but putting them altogether was so tasty that I just kept eating and eating. The one woman show - she was awesome. Not much English but wasn't needed. She was so pleasant and welcoming and the barrier wasn't an issue - at least for me. As she was a one person team FOH, there were times I wondered if she was also in the back cooking as she would be gone here and there but would show up right when she was needed. I don't know of many Serbian restaurants here in SoCal but when I do (and remember that is), I'll definitely go and see if it compares. I just know it was an excellent meal on my last evening in Chicago for my summer road trip.
