Balkan Taste - Mount Prospect

I am back at this restaurant for the second time, having visited three months ago when I was in Florida. I am once again impressed by the amazing food and pleasant atmosphere. The cuisine here is Eastern European, perfect for meat and salad lovers. The flavors are exceptional! Thank you for the delicious food and excellent service. I can't wait to come back again soon. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This restaurant is a fantastic spot for lunch. The food is delicious, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is relaxed. Everything we ordered was fresh, well-seasoned, and made in-house. We will definitely be returning!

The restaurant serves tasty, well-seasoned food with sweet desserts and plays eclectic music. It is a fun spot, but I was hoping for something a bit more adventurous.

If you want an authentic Serbian cuisine this is the place to go. A very warm and family managed atmosphere with very friendly staff. I highly recommend trying the Serbian burger. It is absolutely huge the size of a small pizza. I tried to come here every time I'm in the area even though I live 3 hours away. I brought my entire office staff with me here during company meetings at every one I've brought here absolutely loved their food. The restaurant is clean and the decor reminds me of europe. A must try

Balkan Taste What a fun night my sister-in-law and I had sampling Serbian food. I have a digital pal who has traveled extensively in the Balkan region. I always ask what kind of food she is encountering. She replied one of her favorite was Serbian food. I googled Serbian food and found this four+stars restaurant, Balkan Taste in Mount Prospect. My pal reviewed the menu and made some suggestions. I printed off her suggestions and gave it to the waitress telling her that We were going to split everything. So she brought an extra plate. We started with Gibanica, a cheese pie with what appeared to be phyllo dough! Flaky and delicious Next came the sopska salad tomatoes onions cucumbers, and feta cheese. Very thinly sliced cucumbers with an excellent feta cheese. Then Cevapcici, which are small ground beef sausage links on a bed of chopped onions with kaymak. This was what I had been looking forward to tasting and they didn’t disappoint. We had only ordered a small portion as we were trying so much food but I was wishing we had ordered more. I forgot to take photos before we split this portion. Just when I thought the food couldn’t get any better the Gourmet Pljeskavica arrived which is a 12 ounce burger on a slice of bread stuffed with bacon, smoked Gouda and onions with kaymak. This was fabulous! Kaymak is similar to clotted cream. And for dessert we had cherry baklava which was very tasty and more tart than sweet. The perfect ending to a super feast. We had so much fun trying the different foods, asking the very helpful, friendly waitress questions about the food, listening to Serbian music playing in the background and meeting a Bosnian couple at the next table who were fun to talk with and compare our food choices. And the best part is we each have enough leftovers to have dinner tomorrow night! The Balkan Taste is in the strip mall on the northwest corner of Oakton and Elmhurst Road. Enter off of Oakton.
