We just went today for Dubai chocolate bars and a tiramisu. So delicious and fresh !

It takes something special for me to write a review - and this was it. Al-Bo’s is the kind of hidden gem food lovers dream of discovering. If you’re looking for authentic, homemade dishes prepared with love and skill, this family-owned local restaurant is the place to be. I stopped in for lunch - my first visit - and was warmly welcomed and seated right away. The staff took the time to walk me through the menu and offer recommendations, which I really appreciated. Every dish I ordered was absolutely delicious. I genuinely enjoyed every bite and had to stop myself from finishing the entire meal just so I could take some home for my husband to try! What really stood out beyond the food was the customer service. As I was leaving with my infant, one of the staff members kindly helped me carry my leftovers to the car - a small gesture that made a big impression. Dishes ordered: Beef Burek – Everything it should be: savory, juicy, and packed with flavorful filling wrapped in a perfectly crisp pastry. Geschnitzel – A rich, comforting dish that makes you want to slow down and savor every bite. Baklava – A classic dessert done right. Sweet, flaky, and so good you’ll want a second helping. Final Verdict: Al-Bo’s is a standout spot that you’ll be coming back to again and again.

Eastern European cuisine with very good food and first-class beer from Sarajevo. Definitely the usual atmosphere for a Balkan "tavern" in North America, with wonderful food. I recommend it to everyone.

Excellent! Had the beef burek, feta, and lamb shank. The lamb was fall of the bone and so good. Maybe the best I've ever had. The baklava is homemade too, amazing. Come in and ask for Batsi, he's a good dude and will introduce to some of the best food in the city.

Excellent spot with great service! Amazing and hearty Eastern European cuisine, and a grocery/bakery next door. Hit up Al-Bo's!

a speedy

The lack of cars worried me of the quality at first, but my fears were quickly dispelled by the food. This is the best European food I have ever had outside of Europe itself. My only gripe with the establishment was that the server, who I believe to also be the manager, had a very thick accent that made him a bit hard to understand. He provided great service, though!
