"When I went here with a dear friend for the first time in well over 20 years, I was uncertain whether it would meet my expectations. I needn 't have had any concerns whatsoever! The kitchen was as good as I remembered that is to...say very, very good! And the warm, friendly service was fantastic! Greeted as we entered the door by a smiling, friendly lady, she quickly made us feel 'at home. ' Our meals were prepared beautifully and served promptly, the beverages were very good, and the experience was an absolute hit for both of us. My friend, my best friend 's widow, had originally intended to take me elsewhere, but that 'Balkan ' restaurant was booked out due to Christmas parties, so we came to the Zagreb instead. I had frequented this excellent, hidden treasure many times when I lived in Germany, and had always enjoyed it but this 'return ' was like coming home to your favorite neighborhood 'haunt ', the one outsiders don 't know, but the locals frequent for the best meals and atmosphere, fuer die Gemuetlichkeit. Zagreb still has it! A quick slivovitz for an aperitif, and then the biggest surprise of all! Well under 30 Euro for two full meals and drinks a princely repast at a pauper 's price! My warmest thanks to I. for taking me there, and to Zagreb for welcoming me back."
