Thank you
@@ivanakovacevic1290& the most beautiful Serboikas with "Damske Bube"
100% true
one of the reasons why the food in Serbia and the whole Balkans is so good is that all the ingredients are 99% local and you can feel the love
Ah! You can feel the love is right! And taste it too :)
@@jupitereye4322 ,
A small correction. "Sarma" originated in Turkish and means "winding" , (or wrapping, ....wrap).
No wonder , that only the Ottoman Empire occupied the Balkan peninsula for hundreds of years.
@@mariamihaelaiamandi9159 arapsko, a moguce i iransko ime, ......bas su dva najgora mongolska plemena (turkmeni i tatari) koji su ziveli na konjima zavijalo sarme, i pravili ostale specijalitete sa bliskog istoka, dok su palili i rusili sve oko sebe
@@bojankordic6783 and all of you, who cares where Sarma and it's name come from?
Everything comes from somewhere and then changes as it travels. Isn't that beautiful, Sarma went from middle east all to Poland throughout Balkan and Romania ( where they call it Sarmela :))
I would like to see all recipes and the history of legendary Sarma.
I would like to change best cooks to make their versions.
Reheated Sarma with just baked warm proja, (corn muffins) - enough to forget your own name, and not where the Sarma came from. I saw several family disputes melted around the table with the pot of Sarma. :))
So, who cares? Eat.
Das stimmt...Ich bin Dort Geboren... Alles gute in Nis ..
Traveling to Serbia from South Africa next week and thanks to your video this is on our to do list!
Went there and absolutely loved it! Loved all Serbian food!
@@stephendupreez6569 I am actually in love with your comment! Thanks for following through!
@@catsandgames9871 only a pleasure! Went to Belgrade, Nis and Novi Sad for two weeks and fell in love with Serbia what a beautiful country, with such beautiful food and awesome people! When we got back to South Africa I learnt how to make cevapi, lepinja, kajmak and ajvar!
Welcome!!!
@@boriskoren6862 Thanks for your welcome - we were in Serbia for two weeks in October Belgrade, Nis and Novi Sad, you have a beautiful country, with amazing food and very friendly people. We also went to Kafana Mrak and enjoyed the wonderful food and ended with some rakija had an awesome time. When we got back to South Africa I learnt how to make cevapi, ajvar and kajmak! :) I made sure to take some bottles of rakija back from Belgrade Urban Distillery just beautiful!
Yes, it is official, you are Serbians. Ivana and Steva. Glad you enjoy. Thank you for spreading the info about Serbia.❤
Helooo from Macedonia, the best videos Bravoo, Serbia The best Food mmmm 🙋♀️🇲🇰🇲🇰❤️
И код вас је супер храна ,прелепа места и добри људи.
Serbia is really special in so many ways. Any way Serbs prepare meat is delicious and Serbia truly has the freshest vegetables. I’m glad you had a blast in Niš and proclaim it as the “food capital”. I loved listening to the convo in the background - my people! Živeli!
The food here is AMAZING! The family are even better!! Love from England ❤️
Agree 100%! :) Thanks for watching
Steve and Ivana you are such a amazing people. Watching you I’m proud to be Canadian. I’m currently in Serbia and you inspired me to go and explore more. Thank you!!!!
Gastronomic center of the world. World Food Capital. Every gourmet should come to Nis and stay for a month to try all the magic. Enjoy wonderful food 🍞🧀🍖🍗🍜🍩🍷🍷
When someone from Nis wants to take all credits for grill.But any Serbs know when is the best grill. Greetings from Le.
Nice to see you had a great time here. Enjoy, you are always welcome in Serbia.
Serbia is foodie's paradise and you are the best advertisers/commercial for Serbian cuisine!! I'm hoping to get there this Fall. The city of Nis(h) always had great reputation for excellent delicacies; and considering the superior Balkan's cuisine in general that's a quiet a reputation! The soil in Serbia is mineral rich which contributes to quality of ingredients, too.
I am very glad that you chose this restaurant. Many people who are from other cities in Serbia, when they come to Nis, do not choose the right restaurant. Many restaurants are famous, but Mrak restaurant is really the best. I know that because I'm from Nis, greetings.
Serbs like food, drink and partying, just like Romanians. You can only find these things in the Balkans.
Salute Romani Romas sisters from the Serbian Romani we all Cigani! Romania Cigania Ciganeshti Buchareshti!
Serbia Burgujia
you have come to the country where there is sun, land and water in the best combination. Such food is the best in the world
It's no wonder you like the meat so much! 😊 We Serbians are meateaters, and we perfected preparing our meat to the highest level, because we really enjoy our food! I'm glad you liked it so much!Cheers! 👌👌👍👍
Finally a youtuber that went to the right restaurant.
Im so glad u guys love our food, and truly the best grilled meat is in Serbia, go anywhere and try everything u will always remember serbia. Cheers to u 🍻
Yes! Before Serbia we thought Argentina had the best meat grill... but now we think it's Serbia :). Thanks for watching
I was everywhere. I try any food in the world and nothing was so good like the food in Kafana Mrak. It was a conicidence that I was there. We was hungry and looked for the next restaurant . This Food has change my life
Dear, dear friends, thanks for visiting! In Serbia there are numerous places like this, but they are properly hidden from the eyes of non locals still.
Great food i miss my country. I am Exe chef on cruiser ship and food is amazing but i cannot explain people how good food is in Serbia. Now we are in Vancouver doing Alaska season.
Great video guys, Nis in Serbia is the capital of great restaurants, and the south - south/east of Serbia especially when it comes to Serbian grill. "Mrak" is a well known local tavern and there you can't go wrong. Before they had the best lamb burgers.
Even i as a serbian have to go to the south to enjoy the best bbq, the quality has really dropped here since the end of the last decade. Definitely gonna visit kafana Mrak when I'm in Nish
where are you from?
Ne znam gde živiš pa je tamo pao kvalitet, u Nišu je nikad bolji! Davno je Niš prevazišao Leskovac. Ovde gotovo da nema loše kafane, s tim sto su neke poznate po fantastičnom roštilju, a neke po pecenju ispod sača. Stvar ukusa. Najbolje jedno za ručak, drugo za večeru :)))
Well best to be a vegan and eat more beans!
I am so happy you like the city and the food! ❤
When you guys are in Serbia I AM SO DAMN HUNGRY!
Guys you drink your rakija with salad and appetizers before the meat. When you start eating meat you switch to beer or wine.
ah good to know, thanks!
I hope you didn't regret listening to our recommendations. And I hope that you're leaving Niš with impressions that Niš is FOOD CAPITAL OF SERBIA. Come back soon.
Nis got the best food!!!
@@JetLagWarriors and best people!
Мрак ресторан, долазим следећег месеца само због овог клипа. Надам се да ћете имати јело на јеловнику "jatlag warriors"...
Thank you guys for fair and honest review of Serbian cuisine ❤️ 👏
OMG! Romania here! 7 stars? Must try! I admit i haven’t seen all your videos but from the ones I’ve seen i don’t remember a 7*. Happy for you and happy for me! I know where my next trip will take me . Awsome!
Im very concerned about you if u are a Romanian who doesnt know for an example thing like this from the neighbour brother country, anyways cheers!
Just Me! You're a great supporter of ours. You're absolutely right about the 7 star ratings. Only 3 so far! And kudos to your for knowing that. We appreciate your support! :)
Not many Serbian people have heard of Belmuz. The dish comes from small place called Svrljig, some 25km away from Nis. It is prepared in the following manner: certain type of hardened white cheese (usual for Svrljig area) is put in a large empty pot and dry boiled while constantly mixing. After some time the cheese becomes soft and gooey and starts releasing some liquid (mixture of residual water and some milk proteins). When the liquid is released, the fine ground corn flour is being added slowly to absorb the said liquid and thicken the mixture. All this should be done without stopping the mixing even for a single second, and the process can last for couple of hours. Preparation is done when no residual liquid is left and the mixture becomes homogeneous.
Ja sam iz zapadne Srbije i jeo sam belmuz jos kao klinac, tacnije 1982 godine. Nije striktno Svrljig mesto odakle dolazi belmuz vec cela Stara Planina.
You are right. Don't think I ever has the pleasure to try it. Like I don't eve know it exists, so I could never order it. Thanks for writing that. Now I know, and it sounds delicious :)
Thank you for saying all nice things for our food. We appreciate it. As locals we tend to be proud of our BBQ :). Thank you for publicly settling our vanities 😊. I hope you had great time in Serbia. You are most welcome to visit Serbia again. For some also great Roštilj, I recommend my hometown Leskovac, 40 km South from Niš.
Best regards guys 👋👋.
Thanks for watching, and thanks for this kind comment! :)
In my opinion, "KOD BIBCA" in Leskovac is an excellent pljeskavica, and very affordable, the best in the country when you consider the price and quality.
@@djdox2425 Groš is also the one of the best.
I'm in Serbia thanks
Thank you for a great review, I am very happy you could enjoy our beautiful city and taste some of our delicious food. It is heartwarming to see you this happy 🙂. You are always welcome here. All the best on your travels!
Niš iz one of my favorite places in the world! 😁
Yes I think Nis is our favorite place in Serbia... although we really loved Novi Sad and Novi Pazar too. Ah, there is lots of Serbia to love :)
Serbia has food, at least in terms of taste, among the top 5 best in the world. This quality of food, vegetables, meat, grains can hardly be found anywhere else in the world. The only question is how healthy such food is, because Serbian cuisine contains a lot of meat and is quite fatty, but it has always been the case that unhealthy is what pleases a person. Or that it is illegal🙂
It's clean, unprocessed, fresh food, right from the local producers and farms, so it's absolutely healthy, you can enjoy it as locals do, with usual 3 courses, starter, soup, salads, main course, desert or fruits, everything in moderation. P.S. Meal like in Mrak, we do not eat each day, perhaps few times in a week, and also we are fasting two days in a week traditionally, Wednesday and Friday, plus seasonal fasts, if someone doesn't fast, which is often, we have home cooking culture instead, where diverse and balanced meals are traditional thing.
South Serbia, Niš and Leskovac especially, are known capitals of barbiqued meat and extraordinary traditional dishes :) As you noticed, you were giving 5-stars, and not so rare even 6-stars to food in Belgrade, but that is, literary, 7-star food :) the level of bliss you can find only there :))))
Nis is famous for kafanas.The best food is in Nis kafanas,the rest there is good sites but Nis is Nis.Glad you enjoyed it.You wouldnt get it wrong if you went to another one,food is same as good in each of them.Cheers
Great video. Ivana gave 7 stars 🌟. Must be great!! Keep safe, healthy and happy.
You two are adorable. So much genuine enthusiasm for our food...I am speechless.
Thank you for recognizing the essential characteristics of Serbia: good food and simple, hospitable people.
And, yes, I really liked the reaction of your mom, who has never been to Serbia, she tasted industrialized food from this area, and even she was delighted.
:)
It's not just about GMOs.
When we talk about the quality of meat, in the first place we have to think about the way animals are raised, about the way they are fed.
In Serbia, although there is modern livestock breeding, the so-called intensive farming, it is still based on the tradition of extensive farming and the healthiest possible nutrition of animals. And then the meat is as it should be. Quality and delicious.
Animal nutrition must be based on natural food: on grass, hay, corn... By no means on artificial diets or concentrates. Then the meat has a real taste, the taste of meat.
And, yes: welcome back to you twoo 😉
You are, my friend, an awesome presenter #1 and together with Ivona... awesome... cheers
welcome to Niš, the kingdom of the best barbecue in the world
Thank you!!🍗🍖🥩🧆
Pirot, city close by to Nis is also have great cuisine!
the meaning of "MRAK" is "DARKNESS"
serbian food is the best food, food of the gods
In my experience in Serbia, you have to dodge the fancy-looking places which cater to tourists and ask several of the locals where the good food is until you start hearing the same recommendation repeated multiple times. It'll usually be a little worn-down dump of a place well away from the town center, and it'll be absurdly cheap, but it'll have the kind of food that'll have you unbuttoning your pants to make more room.
I went to Zlatibor for ten days and the best meal I had there was from a kiosk at the Uzice bus station. I kid you not. Zlatibor has some beautiful nature but the town is all about tourism, to its detriment. The bus station kiosk in Uzice caters to ordinary locals, and I got the feeling that it wasn't even especially good, just up to the locals' standards. And it beat every shiny restaurant in Zlatibor hands down. I for one have learnt my lesson. Eat where the locals eat, and go with traditional Serbian food over other cuisines.
True, true :) tourists have a lot wishes, cooks, owners are trying to honour, and at the end it totally changes the food, its taste, essence of it. Soul, that made it good, gets lost along the way. Like with everything else. Once you start moulding something towards others wishes, especially people that just have an idea of what something should be(taste like), it will be left as an empty shell, just resembling the original, and those reasons you liked it in a first place. Same goes for everything else, and people's need to change, fix things that need no fixing. Why small kafana's are better. Owners, cooks, their friends, locals eat there, and don't care much about the PR, how it looks inside, is it all shiny, new, and how tourists are going to review them. They're doing it for small circle of people, used to original foods taste, atmosphere, no one will complain about the noise, laud speaking, laughter, smoking, smell of alcohol, no gloves making cevapi, pljeskavica(It's really hard to make it with) ect ect, so the food, soul of a place will remain the same, the main thing people like about those small places. All they need is a place where food can be prepared, cooked, and satisfied costumers. Just like homemade, grannies food is always the best. She loves to cook, and gets satisfaction from people eating her food, liking it :) it's the same with small kafana's, food places
So good,so authentic clip
Thank you for your beautiful video where you present my hometown and the food in a wonderful way. I hope you enjoy your Serbia trip and I wish you a lot of fun. You show how the real hospitality in Serbia is without any prejudice.Thank you for that and I wish you all a wonderful time in Serbia.
Thank you!
Funny thing, the name of that kafana is Dark in english, but it is also og slang here for something that is so good that you pass out.
This comment!! Thanks for much for this! We were wondering what Mrak meant!!
Mrak = darkness, Tamno, mracno = dark.
I‘m happy for you two. Nice to see someone realy appreciate it in serbia.
Soooo glad you guys enjoyed!
Thanks Maria!
Altough, kafana Mrak is remarkable, you've actually missed the real Niš food experience. There are at least 3-5 places which are above Mrak. Let's say that internet reviews will bring you to the fancy side, but hidden spots are hidden spots and those are off the internet charts. So, if you ever come again - Brka(at Jelasnica near Nis), Nislijska mehana and Dagi. List can go on. And you had to try something like beef tail. It's like outbody, another dimension, food experience.
Thank you for enjoying your stay! Glad that you actually found the right places, there are plenty of them, just have to dig for them :)
Thanks you guys, mutch love from Serbia !
Aaaaaah, finally you realized where exactly You are. Enjoy!!!
Thanks!
Those rolls are pork loin stuffed with cheese and Canadian bacon it’s not chicken. 😂 and they are delicious. And I’m happy that you visited Serbia and kafana mrak especially. Thank you guys
Canadian Bacon!! Wow a taste of home for us :D. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I love you guys. Watching this from Canada and making me drool
Haha thanks Goran!
M'sia miss you so much ! You should hav your own FOOD VLOG. Bravo !
Thanks for this great video 👍
Ahhh man that looks so tasty!!!
I really hope you will visit Serbia again! You're always welcome to our beautiful country!
Great video, one of the best! :D Now you would believe me if I told you that here in Vojvodina we have the best dried sausage and "Kulen" in the world, the taste is just unbelievable, it's literary like a drug, restaurants rarely have it, you can rather find it home made :)
Kulen is excellent. Pirot sausage is great too 👑
Oh gosh, now we want to try it!! Home made food that is the best in the world? Sign me up!
Idemooo Niiiiš!!😎
You all make me hungry once more again! 🤣🤣
LOL! Thanks for watching buddy :)
Hi guys 🥰👋 I’m in aww....you have not forgotten our wonderful multicultural Malaysian delicacies 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 these Serbian food sure look scrumptious and best part is that the food are really clean and healthy , wow the prices were reasonable too 👍🏻 thanks guys for introducing to Serbian food which I have zero knowledge about , hope you both enjoyed the meal and have a great day 😘🥰
How can we forget Malaysia!! We can’t wait till we can go back again😊
The shock and awe - just like in Malaysia?
Wow the food you guys had looks simply amazing. Wish I was there to sample it. Anyhow enjoy your food to the max.
You are right. In Serbia, GMO is forbidden by law. This is one of the benefits of not being a member of EU.
Of course, you always get some people who are after quick profit.
Hopefully, I will visit City of Nish and its best kafana Mrak.
volim ovu bracu u pozadini sto pricaju o kursu evra hahah
Another recommendation: kafana Brka in Jelasnica, close to Niš, try literary anything, and kafana Orač, with lamb stew and lamb roasted meat. :)
Yea!
Yes, yes , my brotha! Our food is so delicious. 😁
Wow, what a spread!!!😋😋😋 Bon appetit Steve & Ivana!!!
Thanks Fahmida!❤️
I'm really glad you had the chance to experience true soul of my city through our bbq. Welcome back again ♥️
Continental Europeans take food very seriously. It’s like a religion to them.
I’ve been to Serbia many times, and I have to say the food is amazing. Everything just tastes so good. At my Aunts place in Belgrade, I could smell the tomatoes from across the room… and they tasted so much better than tomatoes in North America.
You have to try Serbia sour cherries! They are to die for!
I love gibanica (my grand mother used to make it). She also made Hungarian stuffed peppers. She was such a good cook. She knew how to buy good produce.
The Dobos Torta and all their tortas (cakes) are excellent.
Serbian food is top notch… and most people have no clue about it (especially North Americans).
I’m from Canada (my father was Yugoslav/Serbian, and my mother was Irish). I remember travelling to Serbia in the mid 1960’s and all over the Dalmatian coast, and I used to wonder why most of the tourists were German? You would never see any English speaking tourists in Yugoslavia. It has been a part of Europe that was largely ignored. Now it seems more and more tourists are discovering the secrets of the Balkans. Good weather, and amazing food!
Bravooo🙌🙌👌👌👌
Hope you come again and get to know our tradition,history,religion and people .For you seven stars from Serbia
Lol the first time I went to Mrak kafana I sat at the exact spot :)
Did you enjoy the food?
@@JetLagWarriors Yes, it was great :) It's really hard to find a bad Kafana in Nis :)
You should try Serbian Wines also!
Ona jede
Njemu ide voda iz usta
A i meni xaxa 😂😂😂
Good video 👌👌👌
Next time try the kafana Orač in Nis!
Excellent video on super amazing and delicious food at the best restaurant in the world !!! Oh gosh, no wonder you both gave 6 and 7 stars for them....👍👍👍👏👏
im glad that you came to right places to try the food
Guys while you are in Niš go try ANTON burek but early in the morning when it's hot. It's by far the best burek in the world. We call it the melting burek!!! ❤️❤️🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸❤️❤️
Definitely the best burek in the world 👑 🇷🇸
Stay tuned for our next video😉
@@JetLagWarriors And it's important to go to the original Anton bakery, not Anton plus in the city center. Keep that in mind because the older one has some kind of energy to it. Have a great time, živeli! 😄❤️
@@aleksastankovic7380 yes, agree. This one ruclips.net/video/UmAz1_zspBw/видео.html
And choose old Anton. New one fail sometimes...
Glad you like Serbia. 👍👍👍
❤️🇷🇸
So true! :)
Love it guys
I told you!!! Hope you enjoyed yourselves in my home town!!
You were right!! We definitely enjoyed ourselves :D
The best in Nis, outside looks poor but food is super luxory hihihi, next ti me visit kafana Brka Jelasnica near nis...also quality food, better looking kafana!
You should try visit someone's house on the country side and try that food too you will be amazed thank you for visiting our country
I'm from Nis.My favorite place. ❤️
Beautiful 👌💘
Come to Užice ul try the best dishes in Serbia belive me and if u come try komplet lepinja ur gonna love it, love u guys❤️❤️❤️
Nis is capital in food :)
I am agree with you guys ☺️
Kafana "Mrak" (Dark) is one of the best kafana in Nis that is true.
This is my city ❤
I was expecting this type of the content since I saw previous video from Niš. Well done. And you can enjoy many more restaurants in Niš with very reasonable price range. Some of them are: Dagi +, Brka in Jelasnica, Dva Jarana etc. however, have a great time in Niš and spread the word around the glob about Niš and Serbs. :)
Meze, Nislijska mehana, Tri fenjera.
some people claim that steak is better in Orac. didn't try it, I'm lamb fan :)
and M^J - pork chops. not to miss
Thank you. We certainly love the food here
Next time when you in Niš go to "KAFANA DAGI"!
Looks great, except to much cholesterol!! We love ❤️ you guys!! Existing to have you some time in US . Take care, stay well. Your fans from Illinois US the Brentz family.
Hi! Im originally from serbia and the best restaurant in terms of view and food has always been *Etno Konak* in "Durdevo Brdo BB, Jagodina". Its like you traveled straight to Hobbington at least i get those vibes and the view is amazing. Not to forget the amazing food quality. If youre nearby you two have to visit this restaurant. :)
Thanks this reccommendation!
Hey, if you want to experience some of the best wines in the world and in Serbia (not even kidding) go to Negotinska Krajina and someone in a small town called Negotin will be able to give you directions ln where to go. For example Rogljevačke Pimnice are World known for their wines, and Rajačke Pimnice are really good as well, but more of a tourist trap.
You need to try karadordeva snitla
some people claim that steak is better in Orac. didn't try it, I'm lamb fan :)
and M&J - pork chops. not to miss
and for rakia - ask for Dunya
what’s M&J?
@@JetLagWarriors Kremenadla = pork chop
Look forward to watching it later. TQ
Hehehe, first again, how r u guys doing?
Life is good! Thanks for asking :). Been eating great food in Serbia!!
@@JetLagWarriors That sounds lovely. Good food makes travelling much worth d while. 😀
