The restaurant felt cozy with the lighting. The mixed sampler plate consisting of chevapchichi, spicy pork sausages, a pork chop, and pljeskavica was delicious. The bread was also delicious. However, service was so-so.

Service was amazing and the food made this place so much better. Such authentic Balkan food. The environment too was like having Europe in America

I admittedly have never had much Serbian food, but we are recommended to come to Café Beograd. Food is very meat centric but they're also very delicious pies and crêpes to satisfy which works for those nights that you're really looking for that comfort food that you're craving. We ordered too much and ended up bringing a lot of food back! Loved the food here. It has a very chill and laidback atmosphere. #serbian #chicago #comfortfood

We love Cafe Beograd. It's a must when friends and family are in town, plus I love bringing anyone here who is food-adventurous and interested in trying something new. We often order the beef burek - and it is my favorite dish on the menu! It is the size of a dinner plate and cut into 4 pieces. The dough is delicious and chewy and the very outside is so crispy. Inside it's stuffed with flavored ground beef. It's SO good. We also often get the chevapci and/or the bacon-wrapped chevapci. I personally like to eat these with ajvar, a thick roasted red pepper side sauce. Actually, I like to eat everything here with ajvar. Definitely recommend you try it! On my most recent visit we also had the Shopska salad, which was soooooo good and I highly recommend. I love how they grate the feta cheese over everything. I've also had the serbian salad. And of course, SAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT! Between the palacinke (crepes) or the number of amazing cakes they make in-house, you won't be disappointed. :)

My experience at Cafe Beograd was nothing short of amazing, and it was made even more special because it was the first time my husband was able to order in Croatian. I had done some research to find this gem of a restaurant, and discovering its existence felt like uncovering a hidden treasure. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making us feel right at home as soon as we walked in. We decided to indulge in the impressive platter that costs over $120, and it was absolutely worth it. This magnificent spread included a variety of meats, dips, and breads, showcasing the rich flavors of Croatian cuisine. It was more than enough to feed our party of three--there was easily enough food to satisfy five people! Each bite was delightful, and we loved trying the different combinations of flavors that the platter offered. Everything about our meal was fantastic, from the quality of the food to the friendly service we received. The staff was knowledgeable and eager to share their recommendations, which added to the overall experience. Cafe Beograd not only provided us with a delicious meal but also created a memorable moment for my husband as he embraced his heritage. We left the restaurant feeling satisfied and grateful for the wonderful experience, and we can't wait to return for another taste of the delicious Croatian cuisine they offer.

I came here with a group of friends and we had a great time! We shared the big meat platter which allowed us to try a little bit of everything. I really enjoyed the bacon wrapped sausages. I will be getting that next time. I also really liked the puff pastry with meat inside. It was perfect. We got a spinach one too, but give me the meats! The only downside was that I wasn't too thrilled with my cocktail. It was ok, but I was hoping for more flavor. The service was pretty good, especially since we were such a large group! I would have never checked out this place, but I will be sure to come back for that meat pastry pie!

I'd been hankering to try this place for many months, and finally found the time to drive over and give it a try. I'm not sure what I think about the cevapi. For my taste, the cevapi themselves are a little too rubbery, and the bread a little too fluffy, but the ajvar was great, and the kajmak seemed to be the real deal if you like that kind of thing. Maybe it's just not my thing, as this place obviously has a devoted following and is one of the few places doing what they do. My disappointment with the cevapi aside, though, the cheese burek was just outstanding -- salty, cheesy, crunchy, and satisfying. I'm not sure how the crust stayed so crisp, flaky, and excellent even after being wrapped in a bag and driven in my car for over thirty minutes before we broke it out, but it did, through some kind of magic. If you are one of the regulars you probably don't need my review telling what you to do. But if like me you're just here exploring, maybe skip the cevapi and focus on the Magic Burek.

Super cool and neat spot. Cafe Beograd features Balkan cuisine and its very delicious. I've tried other Balkan restaurants before and this is definitely one of my top favorites. My table got two Burek's to share. Burek is a savory pastry/pie baked in phyllo. It's crispy on the outside and filled with a filling of your choice. My favorite one was their meat filled Borek. We also got a sampler meat platter. Our meal came with complimentary house made bread. The waitress was so lovely and nice. I will note this cuisine is kind of heavy, but if you're looking to try something new I highly recommend this place.

I came here on a Friday evening with my cousin to grab a bite and a drink after a long flight. We were able to get a table pretty quickly. The food was good and the service was incredible. I would definitely tell people to come here! First I have to rave about the service here. The entire staff was super friendly and we had several different people stop by to check on us. It didn't matter that we added on extra things with different waiters, everything came out quickly, and correctly. When we asked for recommendations people were friendly and gave us good advice. The menu, people, and experience were very authentic. For drinks we got a hot chocolate, a Serbian brandy, and a Serbian beer. The hot chocolate was huge and topped up with an incredible mound of whipped cream. The brandy came recommended by our waiter and was pretty good. The Serbian beer (Lav) was very smooth. 10/10 would recommend. For food we got the sampler plate and the spinach and cheese burek. The sampler plate was pretty good variety and I liked it a lot. The burek was huge and we ended up eating most of it as leftovers the next day. Maybe it was because I was hungrier but it paired super well with my morning coffee.

We did takeout recently and ordered a variety of things which were all quite good. Spinach and cheese burek was the highlight of the meal for sure. Huge order, half served as leftovers tons of great cheese with delicious flavor to brighten up the burek. Meat sampler was good, nice way to try everything but without a doubt the cevapcici was the star of the show and incredibly delicious. Schnitzel was just ok. It was well cooked and prepared but felt overly reliant on just lemon to give it some flavor. Including some ajvar would've been better. Speaking of, and this was the main negative, we got ajvar and urnebes as sides. $4 a piece. Ok fine. But to then get just like a tiny little container of so little of each dip was crazy. Not remotely worth it. The kind of thing you'd think is an extra 50 cents or a dollar.
