Whenever I’m in the mood for Mediterranean food, this is my go-to spot. The family meal offers a generous variety and everything is fresh, flavorful, and consistently hits the mark. The owner is really friendly, and the space is spotless every time I visit. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel good about coming back.

Happy Time is one of our go to Mediterranean spots in RSD. The food is delicious and a great value. Our family loves the ‘family feast’ options that come with beef/chicken kebabs, shawarma, pita, rice, salad. The staff is incredibly friendly and always welcoming. Highly recommended for fantastic food.

Hands down the best Mediterranean food I’ve had in a long time! From the falafel wrap, hummus, tzatziki and the delicious lentil soup they were all amazing. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for great food and good service!
