3 reviews for Zupa Restaurant & Deli
This was a very different experience for me. I had no idea what to expect from a Serbian restaurant. I went with a group of 8 people and ordered family style. The food was terrific. We started off with a Serbian salad of tomatoes, onions and cucumbers topped by feta cheese. A wonderful salad and plenty of it! We also had gigantic rolls baked next door in the bakery slathered with a butter/cream cheese combo that was out of this world. For our entrees, we ordered and shared what can only be described as two towers of meat. Pork shish kabobs, pork, chicken, sausages and a meat patty served on a bed of french fries with tomato lettuce and onions. Lots of food and all very tasty. Since we were there on orthodox Easter, the restaurant gave us 2 huge plates of roast pork, on the house. The staff was very friendly but a bit standoffish.
I will definitely return....
This place is a little hard to find. There is a sign for Zupa Liquors but the restaurant is there. Maybe two doors down from the corner. There is parking on Ogden and on the side street. I never had this food before. I like to try a starter and we tried this cheese spread which now, my mouth is watering thinking about it. The main course was delish. The meats were fresh though the veggies seem like they were frozen and have no taste. But you will not really care about the scoop of veggies once you taste the meal that you get. The server stayed away until we called her over or until we made eye contact with her, but once she was over she was very helpful. Just a heads up, we paid with credit card and there was no line for a tip.
One of the most traditional Balkan restaurants that I've been to in the US. Meat, meat and more meat. Oh, and cheese and everything else that isn't good for you, but puts you into a delightful food coma.
Staff is friendly, but true to Balkan form they don't wait on you hand and foot; however, if you flag them down or they stop to check on you then they will be quick to bring your order with a smile on their faces.
Bread was great, spreads were OK, sopska salad is decent, but the soups and main courses are what you need to come for. Cevapi, snicle, uvijac, kotlet and filet. My meal was the crnogorski uvijac, which is a foot-long stick of pork stuffed with cheese and wrapped in bacon. Side potatoes were amazing.
Everything is somewhat pricey and they don't always have the full dessert menu. You'll probably spend $20 per person for a four-course meal, but it should last you two meals. There is also a bakery and shop on either side where you can pick up other items. I can't wait to return and try some other great dishes.
