Luna Euro Cafe' & Grill

The meat was barely flavored and seemed tasted reheated. There was a lot of bread like the bread portion was huge, too much and again not very good and the steam from the meat made the bread mushy. We had sour cream and some flavorful red sauce which was so needed. It also needs more veggies or something pickled. The web showed tons of desserts but we only saw two types and those were just so sweet overly sweet. Also tried their version of a Coke and it was very unique and full of different spiced flavor. That was the only fun good thing.

Disappointing experience due to dishonest charges and rude behavior

I had a very unpleasant experience here and feel the need to warn others.

First, I tried ordering ayran (yogurt drink), which was clearly listed on the menu. Instead of a simple “we don’t have it today “, I was yelled at that they don’t have it. There was no indication on the menu that it was unavailable, so I’m not sure how I was supposed to know that.

I then ordered the mixed platter with ajvar and a side of French fries. While the grilled meats and bread were very good, the ajvar portion was extremely tiny, far less than what one would reasonably expect. The French fries were slightly undercooked, though this was a minor issue compared to what followed.

The platter came with grilled meats, bread, a slice of raw onion, sour cream, and ajvar.

My friend ordered ćevapi only. Her plate was served with a tiny dollop of ajvar and sour cream, neither of which she ordered.

Here’s where things crossed the line:
• I was charged and paid extra for sour cream, which I did not ask for.
• The owner attempted to add a $2 charge for a slice of raw onion, even though onion was listed on the menu as included.
• My friend was charged and paid for both ajvar and sour cream she never ordered, with the explanation being “because your friend ordered.” I did order for myself and only ajvar, not sour cream.

When we questioned the bill, the owner was rude, dismissive, and argumentative, instead of professional. The overall impression was that of nickel-and-diming customers and adding charges without consent.

Good food doesn’t excuse dishonest practices and poor attitude. I won’t be returning, and I strongly suggest others check their bill very carefully if they choose to eat here.

We really enjoyed our experience and meal here. It was clean, friendly, and the food was delicious. The atmosphere is relaxed and the owner was really charming, informative, and friendly.

Casual limited selection Balkan food
Pay attention to the total bill
Chepavi was ok but meat was low grade greasy. Cheese burak was good.

What a hidden gem this is!
My neighbors and I have lived within two blocks for over 7 years and none of us had noticed this lovely cafe because it is setback off the street with their parking lot in front.
This is the second or third time I have ordered this awesome salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, farmers cheese and onions. And this is exactly the beautiful oval presentation every time!
The Cevapi stuffed full of sausages and baked in the oven surrounded by Balkan bread is big enough to share. The large, at $15 is twice as big as the small and worth the three extra dollars.
If you love baba ganoush, you must try several ounces of the ajvar which tastes like Baba kanoosh blessed with roasted red peppers! Most Fridays, they cook lamb on the spit outside. So if you love lamb, Friday is the day to come. It is always good to call ahead to check just in case the holidays create a change. There is seating for about 10 people inside but also a table set up directly outside the door and an outdoor patio set to the side.
In the morning, around 9:00 a.m., they cater to the espresso and pastry crowd though regular food starts at 10:00 a.m.
May have Stella and Corona beers which go well with the meat dishes! Here are pictures of my feast!

Omg, what a find and the reviews sealed the deal for a visit. The owner, Zac was more than welcoming and informative in this European Cafe. He recommended traditional as a first timer. Words cannot describe the flavors, but my palate accepted them. I enjoyed the Taste of the Balkans with an Orangina beverage, which was less sweet and so refreshing. The In-house made sour cream was so light and favorable, coming from someone who does not like sour cream.
The beautifully homemade bread, grilled to perfection with the flavorful juices of the meat covered with the red sauce (ajvar) and sliced onion, is perfect. My plan is to return for coffee and homemade dessert.

Came into town and decided to give this place a try. Awesome experience! Ćevapi along with everything else we tried were on point and service was excellent! Will definitely come back next time we're in town.
