"My last visit to the Croatien in Wuppertal to the Stadthalle has been about 4 to 5 years ago. I had still had a good memory after some visits and was looking forward to another visit to the restaurant when I learned that my friend had reserved a table for 4 people for the evening there. Parking is not easy, especially if there is an event in the Stadthalle, then the paid parking spaces there are also occupied. Our mate, on whom the table was ordered, was already in the place at our arrival parking search we could see him through the window. We three were greeted by the young waitress nicely and went directly to the front left into the room to our friend. The establishment typical of many Balkan restaurants, with bricks etc. The tables are covered with fabric tablecloths, a simple canteen salt pepper shaker, an ice map and with a candle. But what I noticed directly, the small appetizer plate between the cutlery was missing this time and there are only paper napkins now. As I was able to experience in the meantime, between my last and this visit there was probably a change in the position. The menus were quickly presented to us, where the typical Croatian, Balkan dishes, steaks, appetizers, salads, fish dishes and some international dishes were listed. For Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, a leaflet at the front showed a daily offer. For Wednesday it was the grill plate for 10.90€ instead of 13.90€. We then ordered our drinks directly, including large Coca Cola, large apple choir and for me a large Alster, which was calculated as 0.5l glass later with 3.90€. The drinks were served quickly and well cooled, only the then snacks for the first beverage order were no longer available. Then the dishes were ordered. For the lady at the table and the other two gentlemen, it should be the grill plate and for me please the Cevapcici, which like the grill plate on the day of the offer stood at 10.90€ in the menu. In these Balkan dishes, a pure herb salad is automatically served from the kitchen with a large Peperoni on top, which was quite fresh and tasty. The nice greeting from the kitchen, a basket with the fresh baguette slices and the grievous scarf are no longer available. The omission is probably due to the fact that more appetizers are to be ordered by the guests. After a pleasant waiting period we were served the ordered main dishes. 3x the grill plate and once my Cevapcici The Pommes Frites were good and delicious, the Djuwet scream was not cooked, was hot and also tasted delicious. The onions were also good, the Ajvar could not really convince it was the variety from the big glass, with the view of the plates we had ordered Ajvar, which served us in a carafe and which was not calculated later. With the meat, my 3 companions were actually satisfied with the single Cevapcici. Well, the Cevapcici, which now also look cloned here 1:1, were also very little knobi and spice lasting. Sorry, but on TK Cevapcici I somehow had no pleasure and have never been served this before. Our female accompaniment, which until the end of last year also worked in gastronomy for years, also immediately after the first bite, said that it was TK commodity without which I had previously said something about it. Sorry, I don't have to go for a restaurant. The Cevapcici will unfortunately reduce the number of stars from 3.5 to 2.5 stars. Funny I still found when one of the two gentlemen asked me, would have been a little more on the grill plate at the normal price for 13;90€, which I could not answer now. Somehow, however, we still had all the hunger there comes with me in a Croatian restaurant more than seldom, mostly I don't make the self-made Cevapcici any, especially since they are then saturated and even slightly larger than the TK goods. The Cevapcici were also the reason for the only 2.5 stars in the PLV, which is otherwise quite OK. Thus a handle to the ice card it is sold here Mövenpick ice cream. A mixed ice cream 3 balls for € 3., a nut cup for 5,50€, for the lady a vanilla ice cream with hot cherries for 5,50€ but please without cream and for me a mixed ice 3 balls with cream for 3,60€. The ice cream was served after some time when the operation was back on the way back to the counter, we could almost stop our laughter. My ordered cream from the dispenser became a teaspoon of cream, dito the cream, which belonged to the nut cup. Furthermore, the ice was quite liquid, so that you really had to watch that didn't land on the shirt or on the tablecloth from the long spoons. For the ice max. 2 stars, we would rather then have returned to an ice cream parlour... . But where we were all four, the service lt. Kassenbon was named Delfa, despite the good utilisation of the place, was quite flashy and attentive or also busy. In between, it was asked several times for further drinks, even when the empty salad plate was cleared, it was asked if everything was okay, etc. For the lady the service there are 4 stars this time. There was also nothing to put out in the cleanliness in the restaurant, but we did not pick up the toilets. During the payment we were asked whether together or separately. The lady recorded on a small waiter block the food and drinks of the couple, then my ordered items and the third Lord of the round took over the rest more generously; After two minutes, the lady came back to our table with 3 proper printed bill Bons and then cashed the sum at me 18.40€. Unfortunately, there is no more to the side tables here, too. A good 0.7l bottle e.g. from Badel costs just 8. € in shopping, from which 35 glasses can be obtained. The close to €0.23 per baggage when paying are very quickly levelled with an increase in the main dishes of €0.50. Conclusion: The quality of the food was quite OK except for that of the Cevapcici, but for this Cevapcici I no longer have to return here, as there are other alternatives in Wuppertal with still self-made Cevapcici. Well, sometimes you should just leave some things like in the last 20 years when you take a well-run restaurant. By saving in the wrong place you can quickly lose customers."
