Insanely good. Service was amazing, food was delicious, and vibes immaculate. Highly recommend anything on the menu. Just do it.
This is an unexpected pleasant surprise here in Denali. We stayed at the Pricess Lodge across the street and just happen to notice it from a Google search of what places there were to eat nearby. What a find!!! This place has AMAZING food and even better service (which is soon hard to find nowadays)!! The owner Maja is Serbian and chef Michael mastered an amazing taste and presentation. Gary was our main host and the full staff was amazingly friendly and attentive! We had a bunch of their plates and everything was incredible. The Turkish coffee was authentic and great. The desserts are wonderful without being too heavy after a great meal. Would STRONGLY recommend for a wonderful experience while in the area.
What a pleasant surprise to find Eastern European food at this little town. The host was very attentive and was able to accommodate our family as soon as possible. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. Facilities clean, and the decor was along with the theme of the restaurant. We are used to most of the offered dishes on the menu, and they were on point. None of us were disappointed with our choices.
What a delightful surprise! My husband is Romanian and I wanted to surprise him with food from his home. And boy, he was surprised! ...
This restaurant has a cozy and welcoming vibe. The staff is informative and super nice! I love how unique its decorations are, especially the umbrella and chairs/bike placed up-side-down on top of the ceiling is such a creative idea. I got their Turkish coffee, this came with a traditional Turkish sweet delight. The sampler plate of appetizers gave a great variety to try new things. Definitely worth giving this place a shot if you visit Denali national park!
The cozy, unique, exotic but homely Serbian restaurant is the highlight of dining in the area. The atmosphere transports you from the remoteness of Alaska to a snapshot of Serbia. Absolutely must dine here. Can't go wrong with the schnitzel or sarma. They carry Serbian wine and beer. The wine is quite good and worth the experience. Great service. Their Turkish take on the espresso martini is unfair and tasty.
Fantastic! From initial interaction with Mya (hostess) to our server, Gary, every point of our experience was outstanding! Great drinks, great wine (Serbian Cabernet of course) and delicious food. Chef Michael has got it going on! Worth the wait for a table, but no where near to the wait anticipated. Treat yourself to this wonderful Serbian experience!
Didn’t expect to find this good restaurant in Denali. The food was amazing, recommend the meze platter if you want to experience Eastern European cuisine. The service is the spectacular. The other glowing reviews were correct. Leave room for the chocolate cake for desert, it is not your typical restaurant chocolate cake. My only complaint is the heat; it was quite hot inside in the afternoon.
