    A must for authentic Serbian food!

    I have gone here several times since it first opened and brought back friends. The only place I have had possibly better Serbian food was in Belgrade, and I have had much worse in Belgrade as well. The atmosphere is great and the host and wait staff very friendly. It is small and get very crowded so plan ahead. A perfect place for a let lunch or early dinner on a weekend where you can feel relaxed without being overwhelmed by a crowd. Great wine list if you are looking for Balkan wines. Several that I have had in Serbia. Make sure you get some kaymak (cream cheese like spread) with your bread or for your meat!

    Great food and a great vibe.

    Prebranac Sa Seljackom Kobasicom traditional baked beans with peasant sausage - tastes like a summer barbeque in the middle of winter. A bottle of wine, the stuffed sour cabbage. Great bread with the red pepper spread. Food that is authentic, modestly priced and a lovely warm place to enjoy it. I do not agree with the complaints about attitude here, even when we walk in without a resv. they are gracious & realistic abt trying to seat us. If they can't there are sincere apologies - - When we do get a table we are never rushed out even when its packed.

    Attitude, attitude - change it!

    I went to Kafana couple of times since it opened just to get some Serbian food but every time I went I truly regretted it! The owner who is acting as a host at the same time is so rude; he makes the cool restaurant’s interior and decent Serbian food completely undesirable and I decided not to go back and not to give Kafana another chance. NY is not Balkan and rudeness does not fly, in the service industry business customer should feel welcomed and should be treated nicely.

    Skip it

    Last week I was at Kafana with some friends. The host is very rude and unprofessional. The ambient of the place is cute since it is in a traditional Serbian style but bad food and rude staff is the reason why I will never go back. Skip it if you are in the area, there so many other places nearby.

    The real deal

    I had a delicious meal at Kafana. I recommend that everyone dine there. It was the highlight of my trip to NYC.

    Change the Attitude!

    OK, so Kafana is the 1st Serbian place in the city, great interior, good live music on Fridays, however, there is no hospitality and kindness about this guy. To open a 1st Serbian place in the city to hope to be around in the future, change the rude attitude!

    Serbian Food Who Knew

    Could be so wonderful. When I think Eastern European, I think boring meat and potatoes. There is definitely a wide variety of meat on this menu- but it is far from boring. My friend and I started with an appetizer of grilled bread filled with a light cheese- it was too die for. The salads were fresh and the service was terrific. The waitress was happy to answer all of our questions and let us sample wines before buying. A terrific find.
