I have been there a thousand times and each time they impress and they will continue to impress! I usually order 10 Δ‡evapi and they always come juicy and well seasoned with a salad and ajvar, I really like that the ajvar is not too hot and that it's really well made. Back to the Δ‡evapis, you can taste that they make them homemade just like in the Balkans! The staff speaks multiple Balkan languages so it's easy to order and they are really fast and very nice and polite. The only problem is that it's maybe a little expensive for the drinks and that they don't serve alcohol, but it's still a great place. I also ordered Tri Lece which is a dessert that was perfect! It was not too soggy and it had the perfect teksture and was topped with caramel syrup. So if you want to taste the best Balkan restaurant then visit Adriatic! 10/10.
