It…read moreserves great food day and night; its great for a quite family lunch as well as a dinner party. We were here for a weekend lunch and there were folks there for a late breakfast as well as another family with small children having a meal together. Based on the phone calls, it sounded like the place was booked full out that evening. We had (table of four): - Mixed Grill Platter (for two): it fed more like 3 - 4 people, lots of variety to pick at; Sausage (pork), Chevaps (pork and beef sausages), Raznjici (pork), Chicken Schnitzel and Karadjordjeva Schnitzel (Pork rolled & stuffed with prosciutto and cottage cheese) - Vienna Schnitzel (pork) - all the dishes comes with (potatoes OR rice) AND vegetables (buttered carrots, beans, broccoli, cauliflower); various potato sides (like crispy fries) as available and rice (like tomato gypsy based) There was enough food for four people plus leftovers as a side for dinner. The sauce was great on everything from the schnitzel to the fries. Service was quick, food was great, and it was all at a great value. Will be back to try their buttered fried mushrooms and nature (mushroom) schnitzel in future. A local staple!

But actually, the food is apparently all homemade and it shows as it is the closest to authentic russian food as I have ever had in a restaurant. The pelmeni were also fantastic, perfectly cooked, good meat too! Served in a traditional little ceramic pot thing with butter and sour cream on the side, it was delicious. That on its own would have been enough for five stars but on top of this, it was less than $15 everything including! The only other meal that cheap that is filling, delicious, and tastes like home cooking is actual home cooking. And the lady behind the counter who also served us was really nice, and made me feel like I was actually at home. I'm definitely coming back to this place to have tea and desserts but I wouldn't hesitate to get that awesome lunch there either!

This restaurant understands exactly how to make an authentic schnitzel, it was perfect. In the picture the plate doesn't look like anything out of the ordinary but the flavours and textures were delectable. The sauerkraut was house made and was better than many sauerkrauts I've had in Europe. The gravy was outstanding and the potatoes were satisfactory. I think they deserve their title "best schnitzel in town" I agree that it is true.

It was such a nostalgic feeling walking back into this restaurant. Not a thing has changed and I liked that We were served by multiple waitresses and all of them were super sweet and kind. It really felt like you were in a small town community. They are known for their ham hock but it was super hot out today so we decided to go with the rib and pigtail combo. Super delicious and the meat falls off the bone. We also got some wings for their Thursday wing deal. $1.75 per wing. The garlic dill seasoning was a very pleasant surprise. Now as someone who is Asian and not German... it's a bit odd to see a lot of Asian people coming into this restaurant. But this place has been talked about and recommended by all of my Asian peers since I was a child. Which I think is quite impressive and speaks for the food itself. Because if you know a lot of older Asian parents, they can be quite picky when it comes to non-Asian food.

It's a long way away from my place but it was worth the drive. The delish food can not be compared to any of those chain places that's been making their way around. You know the one that's selling shawarma with basketball players... I guess marketing knows their target audience - I for one don't get it. If I was a world class athlete, why would I eat plastic food. Go figure... and like I always do for some reason... I digress! LOL! Let's get back to Reco! Reco is a family owned and run business that's less than a month old. Though we are in the middle of a pandemic and lockdowns are stressful on small businesses, they decided it's time to open. They feel that fresh quality food will keep the customers happy and the doors open. That's what I call confidence in one's product! I wish them the best because I am definitely HAPPY! Everything is basically inhouse made and prepared fresh. The dips, salads, and dressing are all made on the premise. The meats are cut and seasoned by the staff and cooked over REAL CHARCOAL grills. Let's bring traditional cooking and flavours back! Oh... even the baklava is made traditionally and in house - I think I bit my lip thinking about this while writing this review [insert teary eye emoticon - and when will YELP allow emoticons!!!!???] Falafel lovers... their falafel is probably one of the best I've had - seriously! The outside crust is crispy and the inside is moist and tasty. They have a secret blend but if you are a true mid-east lover - you can guess what the ingredients are... I DID and probably the only one so far! Nailed it! Just call me the Fantastic Falafel Foodie! What can I say, I strive for perfection in my Foodie Studies! LOL! :D The staff here is the friendliest and warmest of people. I am jealous of all you West Dwellers as you have quite the gem of a place for you to get great quality and tasting food. During this Pandemic and Lockdown, it's important to help support our local and independent businesses. I've been going to many new and existing business to support them. Let's all do what we can or we may be left with eating Clown Food and wearing Paper Crowns while making a Run For the Border - and no one wants that! CHEERS!!!

The owners are run by women are passionate about their food and makes pretty well everything from scratch on the premises. Fresh local ingredients are used.

I recommend their Mix Grill ... includes Chicken, Lamb and Kofta and 2 sides for $19.00. And you can't go wrong with The chicken Shawarma on rice The chicken Shaklee is tender and so flavourful. I also recommend their homemade mushroom soup There is a selection of vegetarian dips and salads for $9,90. The portions here are huge and reasonable. If you are in the area.. I recommend you go visit this place.

We ordered "Coban salad" for starters and also enjoyed "Sultan Beetroot Tort with freshly baked pita" that was included in all Kebab menus. For main dish, we ordered "Adana Kebab" and "Chicken Shish Kebab". Both were deliciously seasoned and cooked. Chicken Shish wasn't too oily, which we really appreciated as it was one the healthiest meals we could find in a restaurant. The service is good in general, but sometimes it's hard to attract the staff's attention and it might take longer for your request to be met.

We were surprised to find that everything was different this time around, but it did not disappoint. The new owners have updated the interior and it looks great. The menu had some familiar dishes and also lots of new options to try. The food was absolutely delicious, very fresh and flavourful. We were greeted with a smile and offered a table right away. I am gluten free and they were able to answer all my questions and recommend some dishes that were made without gluten. Will definitely be back again.
