The market itself is full of items from the Balkans albeit disorganized and messy. The service was great and the young girl and boy were very friendly. Food at the restaurant took 10 minutes or less. The restaurant itself was what we in the Balkans would call a “ćumez” The atmosphere was not the greatest and the burek didn’t resemble burek IMO but the cevapi were good. I think the place needs some work aesthetically.
