Karadjordjeva Schnitzel - Pork Tenderloin, filled with Ham and Mozzarella, Served with Garlic Butter Mashed potatoes.

Alicia W.

You must have a reservation and we're so glad we did. We started with the sample of appetizers, then had Karadjordjeva Schnitzel, and for dessert some type of heavenly apple crepe. I'm sure I would have loved Grandma's chocolate cake but another table had just ordered the last serving. The restaurant was decorated so attractively. Maya and Michael worked together to make this a very special dining experience.

I was looking forward to this place since booking my reservation. They do not take walk-ins. You have to book a reservation via email. The place is small and cozy. The staff is superb. The menu is small, but expected for the type of restaurant. There are options for vegetarians. If you are not a vegetarian, you may enjoy this place a little better since their meat dishes are the stars of the show. We started off with sangria. It's not the typical Sangria you think of. It's not sweet at all. I'm ok with that, but my friend wasn't too fond of it. It's is homemade. For our appetizer, we had the Mekike. It is fried bread that came with a cream cheese dip and a tomato dip. We loved this. Who doesn't love bread? For my main dish, I had the posni pilav with the sopska salad. The salad was simple and didn't have dressing, but delicious. The feta cheese added great flavor to the tomatoes and cucumber. By the time the posni pilav arrived, I was so stuffed that I could only take a few bites. I will admit that the dish doesn't look appealing, but it was pretty good. It didn't lack in flavor and it was a good portion. The meal can be pricy, but expected. Parking is on site, but shared with the other businesses.

Visited this very well reviewed place sometime back on our way to Denali Park. They are owned by Michael and Maya. Here is the summary of my review and experience there. 1) Ambiance 5/5: The ambiance is not your typical one that you would see in any other restaurant. This place is very different and you could see the thought and culture on display. Even the restrooms are well though out. It has a very rustic vibe with Serbian themes. 2) Service 5/5: The people and the owners are super nice and they really make you feel special here. Everyone is super helpful and explains everything delightfully. They have some of the most incredible stories to tell you. It was so great that I would like to thank everyone by name - Gary was our server who was very helpful. Peter helped with drink. Polina hlped with some hiking suggestions. Elizabeth was at the back of the kitchen. 3) Food 3/5: This is where I was the most disappointed. Although everything else was great, the food was not the best. I feel the food was a let down to their amazing hospitality and decor. Here is the summary of what we had: a) Pilici Pilav: It is chicken rice which tasted bland. It was like Indian Chicken Khichdi but with much less flavor. Not a fan and didnt not like the chicken in it. b) Meze Platter: This was good. I am not a fan of Pork but this was good and crispy. The Rgussian salad was ood. c) Grandmother's chocolate cake: The cake was meh with more oats than chocolate and it was peanut butter in it which I am not a fan of. d) Vegan Dessert: We were confused about the cheesecake of this vegan dessert and asked the server. They insisted on this and said this is their best seller. It was such a let down. He said we wont know it was vegan and gluten free - Oh we knew it in every bite. We ate less than 25% of it, packd it and then ultimately had to throw it away. I so wish we had not listened to him and had the cheesecake. 4) Value for Money 2/5: The service and decor are great but the soul aka the food is kinda let down plus they are pricey. So not the best. Even though the place looks like a hole in the wall place, it is costly. The good: i) The decor ii) Service iii) People Not so Good: 1) Food 2) Price 3) Vegan Dessert

We were visiting Alaska for a few days and stopped by for dinner. We didn't have a reservation but only had to wait 10 minutes for a table of four. They have a fire pit in a covered balcony for the waiting area which helped with the outside cold. The service was really amazing and the decor was cozy. We ordered the meze platter, meat stuffed pepper, sarma, Kardjordjeva schnitzel, vegan daily soup, and meat daily soup. To be honest, I dont think the Serbian taste profile meshes quite well with my own taste but I could tell the food was well-prepared. The flavors are not as complex as I typically enjoy but also I don't have anything else to compare this with. It's definitely a fun spot to try something new while in Alaska!

Grandmother's chocolate cake. Not my favorite, but that's probably because I don't like coffee. It's covered in toasted coffee beans.

Dinner at Moose-Aka's is not just a meal, it's an experience. First of all, you MUST have reservations. They do not accept walk ups at all. I noticed on their website they said that reservations must be made 24-hours in advance by email. We were within the 24 hours, but I wrote them anyway. What did I have to lose? As it happens, they had a cancellation and they offered us the open table, which we accepted. The restaurant is Balkan, which is a bold choice for such a small tourist area. The interior is dark and cozy. There are only about twelve tables inside. We were greeted by the cheerful hostess. We were made to feel at home. Once we were seated, the chef came by. He told us that he insists on explaining the menu to each table. A very personal touch. My wife and I are familiar with Eastern European food, so we took in the menu quickly. We started with the meze platter, which included a sampling of four different appetizers. Everything was wonderful! We ordered pitcher of sangria to drink. It was very tasty, full of fruit, and I might add, pretty strong! For the main, my wife chose the Sarma, cabbage leaves stuffed with ground beef and seasonings. It was very good, but perhaps a touch bland. We would have liked a bit more flavor in the sauce. I chose the Kardjordjeva Schnitzel it is essentially a pork version of a cordon bleu. It was magnificent! We ordered two desserts, the Grandmother's chocolate cake, and the cheesecake crepe. The chocolate cake was not to my liking, but the crepe was one of the best desserts I've ever eaten. Denali has no right to have such an amazing restaurant! The staff is incredibly attentive and friendly. The food was amazing! My wife talked about our experience all the way back to the hotel. Definitely the best dining experience available in Denali, if not all of Alaska!

Truly a unique dining experience that I'd never expect while exploring Denali NP. From the moment we walked in, the servers are all so attentitive and polite. It felt like we were so welcomed! Each person that works here on the floor will monitor each table, whether or not they are the person assigned to that table. We never had to wave down anyone to get their attention or ask for something we needed. They all loved conversing and giving their own recommendations for the park as well, which was really nice! As for the food, we decided on getting the stuffed bell peppers and the veggie pilaf. Both were pretty filling and delicious. Although a bit pricier than your average dining spot, definitely recommend considering eating here after a day of exploring Denali!

This place is a diamond in the rough at Denali. Being open for only 3-4 months of the year, they have to garner all the profits before the tourist season closes. I was definitely fortunate to able to try this place out. Never mind all the accolades that this place has received, it's all about the personal experience that matters. When you walk it, there's a very unique ancient traveler's decor that lines the walls and ceiling. It creates an exotic atmosphere that is pretty inviting and adds to the eating experience. The servers are extremely friendly and nice. They display a nice personal touch and can start and carry such a natural conversation that makes you feel extremely welcomed. Now onto the food. I had the Karadjordjeva Schnitzel which is fried pork sirloin stuffed with cheese and ham. It was delicious! The pork was flavorful and I absolutely loved the garlic mashed potatoes that it came with. Also the asparagus gave it a nice contrast with the heaviness of the potatoes and schnitzel. The sauce that came with it kept the schnitzel from becoming bland, which was a nice touch. But the Nutella and Banana Crepe w/vanilla ice cream... yeah... Fire! It's so good. The crispness of the crepe combine with the flavors of banana and Nutella. Joygasm! Definitely something to try! If you get the opportunity, definitely seek this place out. Find out for yourself why others have enjoyed this place as much as I have!

John F.

A great little restaurant with a super ambiance and excellent Serb and eastern Euro cuisine. The sarma was authentic and delicious although a little smaller in proportion than what I grew up eating, but perfect and brought great memories. Tenderloin was also nicely done and not greasy with great flavors. Definitely get the full appetizer plate to start with a selection of the main apps. Pair with Serb beer and try both as they are similar. I was too full for dessert but I'm sure it was as good as the main courses. Recommended.

Andres D.

Very nice vibe and super friendly service. Really enjoyed some of the food, like the fried bread and the schnitzel. Less keen on other food, like the vegan soup and especially not the moussaka. Overall quite good, just highly recommend the schnitzel over everything!

Alan H.

Highly recommend this place for anyone traveling to or staying at Denali. Service and ambiance were phenomenal here. Staff was really friendly in helping us with our food selections and our stay at Denali by providing hidden gems around the area. Don't miss this restaurant if you're in the area!

Martha R.

This was the best meal I had the entire trip. The restaurant is extremely out of place for nowhere Alaska but the service and food would put this city on the map. The ambiance makes you feel like you are in Europe with the decor and music. The food was delish and the sangria was good. Highly recommended visiting!

Wanda H.

I went in with high expectations, and this place came through. The service was some of the best I've experienced in a long, long time. The food was EXCELLENT! We shared 2 appetizers and one entree. And we couldn't finish it all. Normally, we'd have taken leftovers home, but we were in a hotel with no microwave, so.... Yep, we hurt ourselves a bit. They not only didn't charge us for splitting the entree, but were kind enough to split it for us. Sat out in the front room with a small fire burning. Very cozy! Just everything about this place was top notch.

Anne R.

Very friendly team of servers with excellent hospitality attitude, and excellent food. It's hard to know what to say when it's all so good. I wasn't sure what sangria I might like, so they gave me a sample of both and I found the red to be sweet and the white to be more savory, so I opted for the savory. Decided to share the meze platter and the Sarma entree as both are too much portion for one but plenty to share and got a great sampling of Serbian flavors, dips, and seasonings. I'd never had cabbage that was so tender it acted like a noodle, but that's what the Sarma felt and tasted like- a meat and rice dumpling! Excellent flavors on everything and loved the chef's special dip and red pepper spread. Try to get in before 6pm, or you may have to wait until after 7:30pm, as they don't take reservations and can only accommodate tables based on what's available.

There are only a couple restaurants in town. The popular pizza place had a 90 minute wait! Our tour bus driver recommended Moise-AKas. We were seated immediately at a nice table on the patio warmed by a small fireplace nearby. From start to finish, it was spectacular! Delicious and unique food and local beer on tap. Save room for dessert! You can even learn a bit about the Serbian culture while you wait outside the rest room! Zac, Hanna and Jon too great care of us and we're so fun and friendly.

I had lunch here and ordered the chicken crepe, along with the sopska salad and soup of the day. Needless to say, everything was fairly priced and tasted amazing. This was easily the best meal I had in the Denali NP area, maybe even the best in Alaska. Wish I would have stopped here sooner and more often while I was in the area.

The portions aren't large but in my Alaska eating experience, I would much rather have quality over quantity. If you are near Denali or on the high between Anchorage and Fairbanks, skip the other places and stop here. Lastly, I'm don't think I saw a single "cruiser" in the place.

Is it possible to get same day reservation here for dinner?

Yes. It is. You could get lucky. But they are busy! There aren't many good restaurants in the area.

Very cute place at our hotel. Came for dinner. It was pretty busy but we were seated right away…read more Server was super friendly and attentive. There was also live music which was great. Started with the French onion dip. It was so good. Then I have the Cobb salad that I truly enjoyed. This will definitely be our go to spot for dinner while we are here.

Good food, great ambiance with live piano music to boot! The drinks were ok, my wine spritzer was…read moresuper bland. The place was pretty expensive. The rockfish entree we ordered was a bit too salty, not what you expect for $32 a plate. Reason for giving 3 stars was they let us use their patio fireside seating without needing to order anything off their menu.

I've been coming to Denali National Park for 25 years. There's now another reason to visit the park; Moose AKa's! It's hands-down the best food I've ever had near the park--maybe the best food anywhere-EVER! Beautiful atmosphere. Very cozy and clean. Everything is fresh, organic and made-to-order. There should be a line out the door and down the block! Seriously good. Excellent service. They have had over 35 5 Yelp reviews but they were deleted because Yelp wants $$$$s! All this--culinary artistry, superb service and a beautiful eclectic atmosphere for very little $s. Please support great eateries! 5s aren't enough read more

********A MUST SEE******** After a nice game of Golf on the tundra we decided to go further and explore the Denali Board Mall... After we reserved our seats for a white water rafting in the Nenana River we found this AMAZING Serbian restaurant. The FOOD was amazing, Staff and the Chef were very accommodating while we enjoyed our three1/2 hour stay listening to music, enjoying conversation with new friends and OH let's NOT forget the SANGRIA that kept on coming~~~ Mama, Ali and Chef Mike, WE WILL SEE YOU SOON AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE! read more

I've been eating at Moose-Aka's since it's beginning as a food truck in Healy. Since then the location and venue have changed but the food is as phenomenal as ever. They have a sophisticated dining room that they built themselves, the staff are all locals with plentiful information about the area and it's history, and they serve lunch and dinner with traditional Turkish coffee poured all day long! They serve fried meat crepes, sweet crepes, soup & salads, as well as traditional Serbian delicacies. A must stop on your stay in Denali! read more

This is a GREAT little place to eat. We stopped in after a day of hiking in the park, and enjoyed a wonderful meal. We all shared the appetizer platter, then I had the meat crepe. The other three of our party all had the chicken crepe with salads. Local draft beer and a decent wine selection made this a great choice for a different, casual dinner. The Serbian cheesecake with fresh brewed Kona coffee finished us off! Friendly attentive service by the family owned and operated staff was delightful. We will be back! read more

First when we went to the restaurant there wasn't enough space inside and it was shivering cold outside (1°C), so the waitress told us we can go to a patio with a small fire pit and have us a menu to look at the food while we were waiting for a table. When we finally got a table we all knew what to get. I forgot what I got, but my meal was a crêpe filled with Mozzarella cheese, Pepperoni, Tomato sauce, with some sauce on the side. My brother got a Fried Meat Crêpe. The dessert was absolutely amazing! read more

My hiking buddy and I came here for dinner after a long hike, and HOLY MOLY. Quite possibly the best food in Alaska, and it's right outside the park. Bring your appetite. The whole place has a very familial feel, the service is great, the portions are generous, and each dish was a 10/10. We went back the next morning for breakfast to fuel up for a long bike ride, the then went back again that night. It's that good. I intend to return to Denali, and honestly Moose-aka's is a big reason why. read more

Moose-AKa's is a true hidden gem in Denali! Run by a wonderful wife-and-husband team, this Serbian restaurant blends artistic flair with incredible food. The wife's artistic vision is reflected in every detail of the decor, creating a warm, rustic, and inviting atmosphere. The husband, as chef, serves up delicious Serbian and Eastern European dishes for both vegan and non-vegan guests. And the cocktails? Just as impressive as the meals. A must-visit dining experience! read more

Absolutely awesome! Got here with my friends during the 3rd day of their soft opening and its great! We had almost everything on the menu between the 6 of us but we are all super satisfied. The service was some of the best I've had in my life. Very friendly and very informative. Got to learn about the food and roots of where the food comes from. Would whole heartedly recommend to everyone going through Denali to stop by. Can't put into words how great this place is. read more

This was our favorite restaurant that we ate at during our trip to Alaska. My boyfriend who is well traveled said it was one of his top 3 favorite meals of all time. We were in the area for 3 nights and ate their two. The third they were closed so we got a crepe to go and reheated it that day. We loved everything: the food of course, the staff, and the atmosphere. You really can't go wrong here unless you decide not to go. read more

There a few times in life when a meal is perfectly crafted. This is by far the best meal I've had while vacationing in Alaska. We had the Fried Calzone Crepe and Strawberry Cheesecake Crepe. I wanted to order everything. The owner's are friendly and full of life! I would eat here everyday if I could! read more

The service was very friendly and fast. Made from scratch cooking and incredibly delicious. Serving sizes are pretty big so bring a good appetite. Lots of different crepes to choose from; both French style and Serbian. We tried some of each and all was incredibly good. read more

Everything was so amazing! The staff was wonderful, and the decorations were handmade or brought over from Serbia. The food was probably some of the best I've had, especially the fried bread with the red pepper. We even got a history lesson with our meal! read more

I've been working in this area for almost 3 years now and its safe to say this is my favorite restaurant in the area. The stuffed schnitzel is to die for and all of their soups are delicious especially the vegan ones. I cannot recommend this place enough. read more
