Great food with a casual, friendly atmosphere. Ivo took wonderful care of us! He is super nice and does a great job at telling you about the homemade love and care that goes into the food. Try a Bulgarian lager while you're there!

This Bulgarian restaurant is as authentic as it gets. They have a great selection of very delicious Bulgarian dishes, and use products imported from Bulgaria, like cheese, meats, spices, wines, and beer. The decor feels exactly like you are in a mehana somewhere in Bulgaria. Also the staff are very kind and give good service.

An unassuming storefront in a strip mall gives way to a charming, cozy interior. We were greeted with warm smiles and great patience as we asked questions about the very extensive menu. Our server made excellent recommendations - we shared the sampler of yogurt based spreads as an appetizer, and then had the mixed grill of chicken and pork, with a kebab, a cutlet and 3 types of sausage. Huge portions served with a salad and fries. All of it was fresh, well-seasoned, and amazing. The Melnik 55 Bulgarian red wine was a great accompaniment, and we feel very lucky to have found this place.

A must if one finds oneself staying close to O’Hare the night before departure!
