Terrific food with ill mannered people. You should still come here because the food is so good, but take the food home with you.

First time here, a very pleasant surprise, we ordered the sampler plate for 2 and it was delicious, you get 4 chicken breast, 2 stakes, @ 10 homemade sausage links and 2 ground beef patties, with 2 types of rice with 2 different sauces. Seriously for 2 people!! The way it was prepared and the flavors in all the different meats. It’s a 40min drive from our house and I have already booked a dinner date with some friends so I can introduce them to this hidden treasure. Don’t let the look device you when you get there. It’s definitely a regular location for us moving forward.
I can’t wait to try the goulash.

Was hesitant to come here but I read that 1 review from the “NY’er” and believed their review since I came from NYC (born and raised). Either you’ve never touched real food in NY or you’re not a POC, cause the food was terrible. It was SOO SALTY that I didn’t even continue eating it. 50$ in the trash. The only thing that was good was the cabbage salad and the rice. I have POTs and so I do need “salty” foods but this was SO BAD that I feel SICK from it and I only took 4 bites of the meat to please my husband cause we spent 50$ on just 2 kababs. Never coming back. 🤢
Honestly, the food was fantastic. My wife wanted to come here and I reluctantly agreed. Wow!! It was really good. I honestly thought it was really good and I want to go back to try more things from the menu. The staff is friendly and attentive. I have no complaints. I will be back.

Charming Eastern European Bosnian restaurant. There is no alcohol there but you can BYOB it if you would like. Not pretentious joint welcomes you to expect homecooking. The Bosnian style tzatziki and ajvar dip appetizer is so good. That red bell pepper eggplant dip (adjvar) was addictive! Homemade bread was delicious. Dinner date had the Bosnian Style Goulash which hit the spot. Owner waited on us and I let him guide me to what I should order and he did not steer me wrong. He recommended I get the #2 special beef dish with mushroom sauce... I was mildly intimidated to just let him pick my dish but it was worth the blind leap in faith. The cabbage salad that came with was tasty and I want to replicate it at home! We had inquired with the owner about the Chef's Choice dinner for two and since he earned my trust by picking out what I should order.... the next time we go back we will put faith in him to take us on that path and match up what it is he wants to dazzle us with. Definitely recommend. Careful when you try to pull into this place because if you miss it it's kind of a pain to get back into that opening where the restaurant is located. Highly recommend. Thank you Chef Alisah!

We came in for lunch and had cevapi, gulas, and sarma - and they were the best we had on this side of Atlantic! The owners were friendly and polite, and we appreciate our chat with them as we came towards the end of the lunch time. Strongly recommend.

I dined in for dinner today and was reminded why I was reminded of the time I had them 15 years ago. The warm, cozy atmosphere makes it feel more like you’re visiting someone’s home than just going out to eat.
The cevapi was absolutely delicious—perfectly seasoned, juicy, and so good I found myself wanting more with every bite. The bread that came with it, delicious. The tzatziki sauce and onions added to the flavor town.
The baklava was, without question, the best I’ve had (and I had my fair share of baklava too)! So good that I asked for a second one (and still craving more). Rich, flaky, and just the right amount of sweetness to end the meal on a high note.
This isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a place filled with heart, tradition, and unforgettable flavors. I will be returning again.

Chef's is our go to restaurant. This quiet family run restaurant offers tasty well prepared eastern European comfort foods. The portions are ample and the prices are reasonable. The service is great with the family checking on you throughout the meal. Unlike many busy, loud places, Chef's offers a place for a leisurely meal and a nice atmosphere for a quiet visit.

Family dinner for 8 was delicious. Service was prompt and courteous. Highly recommend.
Excellent!! Good food. Came for lunch with the family. Chef owned and operated. Sausages, Special beef with mushrooms. Goulash. Bosnian meatballs. Oh and Bosnian coffee- so thick... Chef has great personality. Food was out fast. Great local joint. Wish I'd have come sooner.
