I dated this gypsy con artist chick for awhile who was from Bosnia. She took me here a few times and pretty much blew my mind. I had never had anything quite like it and she assured me it was authentic. From what I understand, you would be hard-pressed to find anything so authentic anywhere else in the US. She even knew the owner (at least I think she was the owner) pretty well. \n\nAs a tiny grocery store, they have some really fantastic items that I've never found elsewhere. From candy to cured meats, it's all pretty impressive. As a restaurant, the food is great. It's all very rich and pretty accessible for American palates. They serve Turkish coffee which is this pretty amazing mud.\n\nAmbiance here is a little third world, but that's part of the experience. I felt pretty welcome, but I was being escorted by an insider. I have found it a little intimidating to return by myself (plus, it's just really kinda far), but as friendly as they are I can't imagine I'd be beaten and dragged into the back or anything... though I don't know why I just thought of that as a possibility. Hmm... I guess it's cuz there's a bit of a mafia vibe here. I can't explain it.
