We came in with 4 people on a Thursday night. Super friendly staff and our pick of tables, although there were several filled with diners having aninated conversations. The heavy wood furniture and dark interior make you feel contained and cozy there is a projector with low volume sports running on one wall. Our waiter was very helpful and had some funny (well practiced) waiter jokes. The menu is ten pages with photos and dish names in cyrillic, with English translations. I suggest ordering multiples plates and eating family style to get to try more of what they offer. A few tables nearby did this and we did as well, at first not wanting to commit to an unfamilar dish... but after the apps w...

The food was excellent, but I was very dissatisfied with the service. Although the waitress was pleasant when speaking with us, she never refreshed our water glasses; the time it took to receive all our entrees spanned over 20 minutes, from first dish to last dish, therefore those of us that got our food first were eating cold food. We sat outside on the patio, and were surprised that other patrons were smoking around us, which is not allowed under the Des Plaines ordinance. We voiced our concern to the manager, who apologized and gave us a discount on the bill, but said that's part of the European culture of his customers. Very disappointing, we probably won't be back.

Busy spot with locals. Our experience was disappointing: chicken “tenders” tough), oily grilled zucchini, chicken soup had not much flavor, and on the grilled chicken platter the white meat was dry and chewy. The bean salad and ice cream were the best menu items on our visit. No complimentary dessert for the birthday girl. : Service didn’t impress. Cute setting: see pics! $30 per person including tax and tip — but excluding drinks. Needs work! Cannot recommend.

As someone who has no experience with Bulgarian food, let me tell you. The inside is so pretty! Our waiter was so nice. We brought in a cake and he gladly cut it up for us after our dinner. We ordered the salad with the cucumbers and tomatoes and cheese. Omg so good! The cheesy bites with the blueberry jam, delicious and my favorite! The yogurt with idk what….delicious lol. The chicken shish kabob and the Bulgarian sausage was so good! Book a table now

It's an authentic Bulgarian restaurant with a wide range of dishes and a nice atmosphere of Eastern Europe with a fare that belongs to that region too. It's worth stopping by and trying their food. I wish I lived closer to be able to visit them more often. Totally recommend to everyone.

Fantastic experience. First time having Bulgarian food and it didn't disappoint. Colleague and I had a business dinner and it was excellent. Combo Shashlik, spicy goat cheese, chicken thighs, traditional shopska salad, and fig pie for dessert was off the chart.

Food is good and the menu is really big so you have plenty of options. This was my first time trying Bulgarian food so I went with the safe choice (chicken) but I'll definitely come back to try some of the other dishes.
