This place definitely feels like a locals only cafe. There is very limited seating inside, but if you're lucky enough to snag a spot everything is amazing!! Came here with friends and ordered a little bit of everything. We got the meat Bosnian pie and the cheese Bosnian pie. They're so crunchy and crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. We also ordered the meat mix, which is a mixture of chicken and beef with fries and some veggies. I also got to try a very typical Bosnian drink, sour milk. Sounds odd, but it essentially tastes like salty Greek yogurt. 10/10

Still the best burek from ex-Yu! I haven't been for almost a year and stopped 2 times in last few weeks for burek with meat once and burek with cheese last time, they were a bomb!! Much bigger, much more material inside and better then ever and I noticed they raised price like everyone else Great happy to support small business! But few minutes ago I read review from Christina from 2 weeks ago 1 star review because they are cash only and they raise the priceC'mon Christina do you know how that affects small family business who provides excellent service and where they are located or how their space is decorated you know what... please do them a favor and don't ever go there again.

Unassuming Bosnian cafe serving burek, cevapi, and other meats. I got a half cevapi sandwich (5 pieces) and a cheese burek. Everything was great but the burek was particularly good (and also massive!!!). Prices are great. Cash only.

All of the food here is absolutely delicious. This is my favorite burek place. Everything is made from scratch. Even though I know how to make it from scratch too, this one is the best. The service is good and the prices are as well. They don't sell frozen food. You get best bang for your buck.I usually place my order by phone to pick it up and enjoy it at home. Every time when I get home and eat that food I have urge to call them back and let them know how delicious their food was. They never disappoint.

I just love this place. You cannot get better quality Eastern European food for the price! After doing a fasting blood test for 15 hours, this was the best comfort food place in the neighborhood! I ordered cevapi, sirnica and telece riznici. My mom and I split it between ourselves and we had plenty of leftover for my mom to take home to my brother. The cevape are made in house and they are just so good!! You could taste the freshness in them. I highly recommend trying them. The telece riznici just melt in your mouth!! The pita is made fresh daily and sooo good! Check this place out and please remember- it's cash only!

It's about time to receive our W2s. Are you happy with your potential tax returns, or are you getting ready to pay because you're happy to do so? Regardless what your situation will be, let's have some pocket money ready for "Coffee Slasticarna Drina," inside the strip mall on the corner of Lawrence and Campbell. Hubby and I had two (2) orders of Bosnian coffee, one (1) order of cheese pie (burek), and one (1) order of beef sausages (cevapi) for $20! We ate like royals. The gentleman in charge had a very soothing voice, and he was kind to provide some recommendations and introduce the most popular items. Everything was made to order, so wait was to be expected. Unless you would like to call ahead, I saw a few patrons coming in and out pretty quickly because they had already done so.Don't think about the "burek" as an average cheese pie you see in a coffeeshop or a pie shop specializing all-American style bakeries. They used the semi-sweet type of cheese and appeared a bit "crumbly" like egg white. The portion was quite generous; hubby and I shared the plate. On the other hand, "cevapi" was presented as a Balkan sausage sandwich, with freshly diced onion and sour cream on the side. Pieces of skinless beef sausages were embedded inside the warmed pits bread. It wasn't the easiest thing to eat, yet we managed to devour the entire hamburger just fine. Once again, this entree was also shareable. Everything that was sent to our stomaches was fantastic! They apparently had their regulars and were making themselves at home. They had a washroom all the way in the back of the kitchen. Parking should be effortless. A large strip-mall lot is available. It's also located within a walkable distance from the CTA Rockwell Brown Line station.
