"We came in with 4 people on a Thursday night. Super friendly staff and our pick of tables, although there were several filled with diners having aninated conversations. The heavy wood furniture and dark interior make you feel contained and cozy there is a projector with low volume sports running on one wall. Our waiter was very helpful and had some funny (well practiced) waiter jokes. The menu is ten pages with photos and dish names in cyrillic, with English translations. I suggest ordering multiples plates and eating family style to get to try more of what they offer. A few tables nearby did this and we did as well, at first not wanting to commit to an unfamilar dish... but after the apps wanting to trt a bit of everything. We had a tomato and goat cheese dish (forgot to take a picture) that the waiter drizzled in olive oil and pepper creamy and bright and very tasty. We had potato croquettes with dill yogurt and fritters with berry jam excellent little apps to share. Then we ordered chips hand sliced potato fried and topped with chopped garlic and herbs, next to the meat tray for 2 coiled homemade sausages, pork, chicken kebabs... delightful. Very flavorful and moist meat and the bit of fries on the edge of the platter were quite good too. We all shared a slice of fig and marscapone cake and divvied up leftovers. Best part: VERY welcoming Chicago prices at about $40 per person with tip. Give this place a try. Park in the auto repair lot liquor store lot next door, but don 't park directly in front of the liquor store. Also there is a sign near the yellow awning that says certain spots in the strip mall lot are OK for Mehanata parking.
