Average to small portions, over salted, one of the pasta dishes was undercooked. Waiter insisted that it had been cooked correctly, but offered to take the dish off the bill. Decent food, nothing special, maybe a little overpriced. read more

If you are in Prague for even an hour, make a reservation at this restaurant. If you don't go here, you're seriously missing out on the single best experience I had in Prague. Everything was so incredible that my boyfriend tried to take me back here the next night. The wine and the food are Balkan specialties and the wait staff is incredibly courteous and attentive. We know that you aren't really supposed to tip in Europe but we had to leave some extra. If you look at the photos for this restaurant, you might be kinda freaked out by the pictures of the octopus. Don't be. This was the single best seafood dish I've ever had. read more

We were underwhelmed by the food itself. Our three meals were the grilled pork, chicken risotto, and spaghetti with shrimp. The pork was very dry, the risotto was basic and fairly tasteless and the spaghetti, while cooked to perfection, was a bowl of noodles sitting in a oily pool with 3 shrimp and no basil to be found. The bread and spreads were delicious, the atmosphere is delightful. Everything else was basic and not terribly flavorful. read more

Kills me to write this review but perhaps it will save another person the experience we had-- and perhaps hould have said something sooner. We arrived for dinner around 9:15 and ordered 2 beers, a greek salad, and a cheese platter. Also ordered 2 entrees-- one chicken and the other the house special lamb which was highly recommended. The beers, salad, and cheeses came promptly and the salad was phenomenal-- fresh and perfectly dressed. We finished around 9:40 and waited for the entrees. Our waitress never came back to the table but a nice younger guy came by and asked if we wanted 2 more beers . . . we did and he cleared the table from all the dishes from the salad and cheeses. This was about 10:00p. Around 10:30p we said we should get the check and go since the entrees never appeared and no one came back to ask if we wanted more beers, for us to ask about the entrees, etc. At 10:40p I was able to get the attention of the guy who brought us beers and said we would like the check. When he brought us the check, we told him the entrees never appeared yet they were on the bill. He seemed stunned. He went back to the kitchen, we could hear the chef and a women yell back and forth, and finally the guy came out and asked which items he should take off the check. We showed him, he apologized for the evening, and on a 795 he said just make it 700 for the service tonight. A nice gesture. The place seemed to offer great entrees from what we saw others eating. We gave them the benefit of the doubt for too long that the entrees were taking awhile to prepare. Had someone been by the table sooner we probably would have asked but that was our fault I guess for not wandering back to the kitchen area and asking. I wouldn't go again since forgetting entrees is not a good option for a restaurant. But the guy who finally helped us get our check was very nice and could not apologize enough. No clue whatever happened to the woman we first saw and who took our order . . . and told me the lamb was amazing. I'll have to believe her-- as hard as that is. read more

Pretty mediocre food. My roast pork was significantly overcooked. Pasta dishes were ok. Prices are reasonable and the menu is large so maybe we didn't try enough things to find something that would bring me back. read more

Disappointing. I had a risotto in black ink sauce with a variety of fish. The cold octopus on the side was the only thing worthwhile on the plate. The Shrimp, muscles and octopus in the risotto all were overdone and/or not fresh. My guess was overdone. To make the matter worse, this is a pretty expensive place for prague. On the plus side, the Decore is different and fun. They put a lot of effort into that. If they put as much into the food, it would be a great place. read more

There are probably 4000 restaurants in Prague, so why go here? For one thing, it is a restaurant with a sense of humor. There is a chair on the ceiling. With a pair of ballet shoes on it. For another, the service is friendly, welcoming and fast. A family of 5 at another table worked with one waitress to craft their own version of the menu choices to everyone's content. For a third reason, the food is excellent. There is pork, of course (this is Prague after all) but the nice piece of roast was cooked with potatoes and baked under cheese. We also had a frutti de mare risotto, which wasn't overflowing with shellfish but had pieces of mussel and squid mixed in, plus the price was reasonable. And that's the final reason. Overall it is a very good value. So if you are in Mala Strana and are looking for something besides pig knuckle or goulash, Luka Lu should more than satisfy. read more

We were not sure what to expect of a traditional Czech and Balkan menu, but we took the risk even though my husband is a picky eater. We found that the menu has a little something for everyone. The sea bass was served as the full body of the fish (not used to this), but it was delicious. The steamed spinach was amazing, as were the grilled vegetables. They serve wonderful homemade bread with two different spreads as well as oil and basalmic. It seems Balkan food is known for their grilled cheeses - the salad with grilled goat cheese did not disappoint and came with a generous portion of goat cheese. Service was friendly and the decor very eclectic. Our server let us sample some Czech liquor before deciding on our drink order, and then a complimentary dessert was provided - seemed to be similar to an apple strudel. I'd recommend this restaurant for anyone who wants a great meal in an establishment where you might be able to escape some of the regular touristy spots. read more

as always lamb under sač is the beacon of lamb ever made. tender, tasty, moist and full of sin. red Macedonian wine is the perfect match.

Was here at 12noon on a Friday, small little cosy cafe was 3/4 filled. Ordered grilled octopus, black risotto and Mussels. Food And their coffee tastes good. service was attentive and polite. I like how the radio switches on in the washroom when you switch on the lights :) read more

Really disappointing. Arrived at 6 without a reservation. Taken to the way back room, told we could not sit anywhere else because the entire restaurant was booked up for the evening. We ordered several things to share, some olives, a soup, an appetizer, an entree and some veggies. We wanted to taste as much of a variety as we could. They brought out everything at once and most of it was Luka warm. The soup was hot, but everything else just barely warmed over and by the time we finished the starter, the main was cold. I think the food might have been tasty but not reheated in a microwave and dumped unceremoniously on the table all at the same time. Clearly felt like the bum's rush. My husband ordered a scotch with ice on the side which arrived in two fancy cut crystal glasses, one for ice, one for the drink. About halfway through the drink, the waiter who insisted on seating us in noman's land came by to switch out the ice glass with a very simple glass. There were no other people in our area and just a few tables full up front when we left. It was just too much for them to leave the glass until after we left. Ungracious and absolutely bizarre. The bill came to about 50US, which sounds cheap, but was the poorest value we've experienced thus far in Prague. So many nice places with food that seems fresher, and without a "doing you a favor" attitude. Such a shame for a well-regarded place. read more
