    Lazic Deli has the best Burek in Chicago.
    Todor K.

    Feta cheese burek is a traditional Balkan pastry that consists of layers of phyllo dough filled with crumbled feta cheese. As an East European feta cheese lover, I was looking forward to trying this dish which a friend said that Lazic Deli has the best burek in Chicago. Well I can honestly say, I did not disappoint. The hand made phyllo dough was flaky and crispy on the outside, while the feta cheese filling was creamy with just the right amount of salt. I was glad to see that the burek wasn't too oily or greasy and there was a good amount of feta cheese filling. Overall, I did enjoy it and now I can see what some say that Lazic Deli has the best feta cheese burek in Chicago. I also have my dad hooked on it and when I go see him I'll stop by and grab a feta cheese burek for him.

    Lazic Deli Burek, stuffed with Feta and House Smoked Meats. Also, Serbian Yogurt.

    I was so thrilled to find Lazic Deli! I had an overnight in Chicago and it was within delivery radius of my hotel. I wanted to get one of everything but I had limited stomach capacity so I settled on the Lazic Burek, Kuvani Pasulj (Serbian Bean and Smoked Meat Stew) and Sarma (House pickled cabbage rolls with mashed potatoes), with a side of Serbian Yogurt drink. In February I visited Serbia and this food took me right back to it. I started with a slice of the burek and the yogurt drink, and it reminded me of getting breakfast at the cafes in Belgrade. The cabbage rolls were really good, firm and tangy with crumbly ground beef inside. These had a red sauce and were served on top of mashed potatoes. Finally, the bean stew - OMG, this was divine. One sip of it and I was pretty much knocked out with memories of all the delicious smoked sausages that I tried in Serbia. So many layers of flavor. Smoky, firm sausage and bacon pieces, creamy great northern beans, and rich, thick and savory. The soft, spongy bread was perfect for dipping and soaking up the soup. The food alone is easily five stars, but I also want to mention that the service here is excellent! I ordered from one of those delivery platforms. There was an issue with the delivery, but the owner noticed and called me to make sure that everything was ok! I highly recommend Lazic Deli and will make a point to come here in person next time I am in Chicago.

    The best fresh polish and smoked polish in the city. Friendly staff helped choose the perfect amount. This is the place to go.

    I love the meat variety. If you are a fan of Serbian kitchen (which is one of the best in the world) you would live this store

    What a hidden gem!!! I loved everything about Balkan Taste-the service, ambiance and food. All…read moreexcellent. The server I had was very nice, and made a great suggestion for one of the daily specials-pork tenderloin with Kaymac. I've never heard of that before (which was the reason to visit Balkan Taste-a new adventure in food!) kaymac was described as the top of the milk, and it reminded me of butter. But better! He also brought me a side of kaymac to have with my bread, and I knew I'd love the pork dish. It was indeed a home run, the sauce was super tasty. Also had beet salad , and a cream puff for dessert. I inhaled the cream puff too!!! I enjoyed the authentic/family atmosphere, and will surely be back. I'm picky about my food (I LOVE the "good stuff") everything I had tonight was outstanding. Thanks for an excellent meal and making me feel like a welcomed guest!!

    Heard that Chicagoland had the largest Serbian population in the US, so on a whim a friend and I…read morepicked a place to experience our first Balkan food. Went to Balkan Taste and we got their beef special and their pork tenderloin special. The spicy kajmak sauce on the tenderloin went so well with the way they grilled it, and the beef was hearty and delicious. Plenty of lepinja was served and it went so well with everything! Enough food for the next meal as well. Would definitely go again and try the standard fare.

    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.
