Dunav Restaurant — Restaurant in Lyons Township

Went for an early dinner, and left happy and full. We had the sopska salad, tomato, onion, cucumbers with cheese, it was so refreshing, and also for an appetizer we had the roasted chilli peppers, very little heat, tons of flavor. We each had a small mixed grill, a ton of meat. Each plate had two links each of two different sausages, both delicious, a pork chop, pork kebab, a grilled chicken breast, a Serbian hamburger, served on top of French fries with kajmack, a delicious cheese spread, which we ordered an extra serving of, raw onions, and a simple cabbage salad to break up all the meat. I love dipping my meat into the kajmack and onions, though the meat didn't need it. I had a pop he had a Serbian beer. The atmosphere was cozy. It felt like an old school family party in someone:s finished basement. The waitress was super friendly, and looks very much like Marina Squerciati, Kim Burgess on Chicago P.D.. The only thing that was a little tricky was parking. They have their own lot, but it small and people tend to double up, so we had to go back in and have someone move their car so we could get out, not a big deal, just a heads up. Overall, this place is awesome and we will...

Do not miss out on this little gem of a restaurant! Our server, whom I strongly suspect is the owner or general manager, gave us great service while only speaking in Serbian. The atmosphere of this small business is unique and memorable, and the service was top notch! The cheese spread trio is served with the best fresh pita I have ever tried, and the mushroom dish should not be missed as well. The Serbian salad goes well with the two aforementioned dishes, do remember to dress it yourself with the provided oil, vinegar, and salt at the table. We ordered the grilled meat platter for one, which comes with french fries and a small cabbage relish. This platter is a variety of sausages, chops, and cutlets that are MASTERFULLY broiled to perfection. All of the food we tried at Dunav was prepared excellently and presented well. Restaurants like this really make a neighborhood a unique place to visit and I am really happy to have had the chance to enjoy Serbian hospitality from some truly great restaurantuers. I look forward to...

We had the great luck of finding a new favorite tonight -- Dunav Restaurant on Ogden. The mixed grill and muckalica we ordered were both incredible. If you go, don't forget to get a side of the grilled vegetables (mixed peppers and mushrooms -- I'm helpless for these grilled mushrooms!). The lepinja (bread) is fantastic with the cream cheese. You'll also appreciate how friendly the staff (Thanks again, Dragana!) and the other customers are, even if you're the only person in the room who doesn't speak Serbian! We can't wait to come back. Perhaps one day I'll know enough Serbian...
