Kafana is truly a lovely place with great servers and employees. The food was delicious and definitely got everyone full, the... size of the portions are huge! We got the Braised lamb, Pork neck, and schnitzel. All dishes were superb and highly recommendthem! Read more
Serbian food, who knew it was so tasty! The grilled meats are excellent. The pork chop is delicious and could feed a family. All... portions are large and tasty. Fun atmosphere and excellent staff. Let them recommend a perfect Balkan wine for you. Great valuefor money and fun to try something different. Certainly a funky European vibe. Michelin Plate awarded as well. Read more
We loved our dinner at Kafana! We started with Sopska - the tomato, cucumber and feta salad and it was insanely good. Where do... they find tomatoes that taste like they came from Italy?! We also had the Zeljanica - spinach pie, to start. This was alsodelicious, pure comfort food, almost like a bread pudding but with spinach and feta. The feta was smooth and creamy in both ofthese dishes. For our mains we had the Cevapi - the little meat links with diced onions on the side and the braised porkshoulder, both were excellent. The pork was juicy and tender, and served with buttery mashed potatoes and a lightly dressed coldcabbage salad. I would order all of this again in a heart beat. Read more
Great decor but unfortunately this was by far the most mediocre Serbian food I have ever had. The service left lots to be... desired, waitress was very pushy and short with us and other customers. The cash register and mashed potatoes were thehighlights. They only accept cash. Lots of better options available in the city. Read more
We were there with 10 other friends from NYC and San Francisco. Food is traditional Balkan food, atmosphere is very unique. I... love the details that reminds me of Serbia and Balkan area in general. Stuff was friendly and welcoming, it's a small place somake sure you call before go, specially on the weekends. Will come back whenever I am in New York. Read more
So proud that there is a great Serbian restaurant in Manhattan! The food is really good, very authentic, from Serbian style... barbecue to sides and appetizers such as prebranac (baked beans Balkan style), ajvar (red pepper salsa), gibanica (cheese andspinach pie) and many more… I’m pleased to see people all over the world enjoying the food here. The staff is nice, we gotsome free rakija shots before we left. Definitely try rakija! :) Kafana was a great choice to take my New York friends to, andthey loved everything they tried! Read more
Seriously delicious. I love Eastern European food, so I was excited to try Serbian. The food was delicious & the wine was pretty... good (a bit more acidic than I like, but that’s on me for not knowing what I was ordering). The waitstaff was not superattentive, but they also didn’t rush us, or hover which was nice. All in all, a great date night spot Read more
If you like to experience Serbian food like Cevapcici and many others then you just found a hidden gem. The restaurant is very... well booked and once we tasted the first bites we immediately understood why. All food is traditional Serbian food. From sugarfor the coffee to the coke, I found nothing that was not an original Serbian product boosting the experience to the maximum. Wefound some of the best Serbian wines on the list at a very fair price. The service was very friendly too. One of my top threefavorites in New York. Read more
