This was an unexpected find, and we are so glad we came tonight!! Tommy is amazing, nicest and charismatic owner. He made me feel very welcome. The food was even better!! We tried the :
Mixed grill for two
Fried cheese
Burek
Cabbage salad
Everything we got is a must try, like I seriously suggest you order these four things :-) you will not regret it. I wish we were from the area or we would visit them way more often, we'll just have to settle to eat here when we visit our daughter at VCU

We had the best meal here that we’ve had in a long time. The meat platter for two was absolutely excellent. Super friendly service as well and we feel like we really found a gem. Will be back for sure!

Visited here last night, and we were so happy that we did! The waitress was helpful with all of her suggestions and even provided us with samples of wine we wanted. I read a review earlier, and someone was right, best French fries in richmond! But all the food was excellent! Great small atmosphere, and it feels cozy. Definitely try a dessert as well! All homemade and shareable! We will be back!

The best food in the city and some of the best food you'll ever have period. I visit Richmond often and try to eat here at least once each time. Ingredients, spice, prep are all perfect and their consistency is unmatched. Every aspect is phenomenal from the meat to the veg to the bread and their balkan potatoes are those by which you will judge all future creamy potatoes.

The food and its presentation were good, the waitress kind. I think they may have the best fries in Richmond, super crispy and well seasoned, and definitely is a must while you're there.

I wish I lived in Richmond so I could come here all the time. I came for the fried feta cheese and torte, but the coffee was divine and the Balkan Schnitzel was beautifully Spiced. I would buy a bucket of the feta spread that was on top. I think the dip with the fried feta was eggplant and red pepper, and it was also amazing.
I hope to come back to visit soon. I strongly recommend.

This place got us hooked on Balkan cuisine. Everything on their meat and cheese platter was on point, down to the pickles and pepper paste. Some of the meats are even smoked on site. The goulash was also well spiced and hearty. Looking forward to visiting again!

Excellent overall experience. Prompt and super friendly service. We got the meat burek, it was so good we got another order to go. The paprikash and doner sandwich were both delicious. We will definitely be back, highly recommended!

This restaurant is awesome! My wife and I went here craving some authentic Balkan food and we were not disappointed. We live in North Carolina, and on our way back from Washington, D.C. we stopped and had lunch.
Tomica is a super cool guy, the atmosphere is amazing and food is delicious!
To all the Americans: if you haven't tried it yet, go for it you won't be disappointed.
To all the Balkan people: just go for it! You won't find a restaurant on the East Coast that will be more authentic than this. It will bring you some good memories from your homeland.
