@@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.

@@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.
@@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!
@@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!
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!
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.
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 🍻
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.
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 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.
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!!!!
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
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 :)))
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.
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!
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! :)
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 ❤️ 👏
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! 👌👌👍👍
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.
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 👋👋.
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.
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.
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 🍞🧀🍖🍗🍜🍩🍷🍷
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!
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 :)
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
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.
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 :)
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 😘🥰
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
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....👍👍👍👏👏
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. :)
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.
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.
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.
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. :)
Glad to see yoi guys enjoying the food. I think you need to check out two places i Bosnia Banja Luka There are few restaurants that are world class in flavours and service. Travnik has the best chevapi in the world
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
Visit Krusevac. It is not very well known, but it is a beautiful and peaceful city, a different energy. There are beautiful places you can visit. I'm sure you'll like it...
Im realy exicted that you are so so happy with our food and cuisine all around... you should try one more if you can called Dva Jarana/2 Jarana its in street called Djerdapska and if you want i can be your host since I go there almost 2-3 times a week since I live like 50-100 meters away from the place also owned by a family.
:) Thanks to Serbia for having us! We came here to get the vaccination (we have been travelling for 3 years and most countries won't give it to foreigners) and so we didn't know what to expect when we got here! We really had no plans... and then slowly but surely our plans in Serbia always revolve around food :D! Yum yum
@@JetLagWarriors loving that foreigners like our food, if you still up here or/is interesting into going to some other small places I am glad to be of service :) much appreciated :)
Guys im so happy u had great food experience , and just like u said u just have to find best restaurants , there are bunch of places with ok food but there are few amazing places. one more thing i think that NISH have best burek and overall best food in serbia :) JUST MY OPIONION :)
I recommend 'Mali hrast' kafana, one of the best 'pecenje' in Serbia. It's small kafana and reservation is a must. It's in place Bukovik, near Arandjelovac.
I don't think you can beat family run establishments, it's not just the name of the restaurant that is at stake but the name of the family. The food looked amazing. Grilled meat, and preserved meat, like hams and salami's, along with cheeses are also excellent in Slovenia, but those combinations with cheese and ham are the next level. A few hours walking will be required after this delicious feast. "The best restaurant ever" coming from Ivana, now that's a recommendation. We will have to have a visit ourselves.
@@JetLagWarriors Yes Sorry, I really do love Slovenia and it's people. I hope you get to visit one day too. Sure you will enjoy it. I have missed it these last two years through one thing and another. It's a very small country with a big heart and fantastic people. Your vidoes in Serbia have reminded me of it such a lot. Snowing there at the moment, I always watch the webcams. Hopefuly you get to visit my Wife's home state of Sarawak in Malaysia too. We were both hoping to spend more time there too now that we have retired from work, but again our plans have had to be changed.
Traveled in 32 countrys around the World but Serbian food are best, go and taste!!!! I'm so hungry now.
Your 100% right 👍

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.

Guys you drink your rakija with salad and appetizers before the meat. When you start eating meat you switch to beer or wine.

I'm really glad you had the chance to experience true soul of my city through our bbq. Welcome back again ♥️
Yes, yes , my brotha! Our food is so delicious. 😁
So good,so authentic clip

Hope you come again and get to know our tradition,history,religion and people .For you seven stars from Serbia
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
Glad you like Serbia. 👍👍👍

Next time try the kafana Orač in Nis!
Omg.guys...can't watch your videos anymore..😀😀😋😋😋😋...when I see you eating so good food ...I start starving😀😀😀⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐+⭐😋🍖🍷🍴🍕🍜🍲
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.
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.
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.
So true! :)
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!
You need to try karadordeva snitla
the meaning of "MRAK" is "DARKNESS"
serbian food is the best food, food of the gods
Glad to see yoi guys enjoying the food.
I think you need to check out two places i Bosnia
Banja Luka
There are few restaurants that are world class in flavours and service.
Travnik has the best chevapi in the world
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
You should try Serbian Wines also!
Love it guys
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❤️❤️❤️
Visit Krusevac. It is not very well known, but it is a beautiful and peaceful city, a different energy. There are beautiful places you can visit. I'm sure you'll like it...
Ako krusevac nije poznat onda ne znam koji je ........
I'm from Nis.My favorite place. ❤️

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. 😀
Im realy exicted that you are so so happy with our food and cuisine all around... you should try one more if you can called Dva Jarana/2 Jarana its in street called Djerdapska and if you want i can be your host since I go there almost 2-3 times a week since I live like 50-100 meters away from the place also owned by a family.
:) Thanks to Serbia for having us! We came here to get the vaccination (we have been travelling for 3 years and most countries won't give it to foreigners) and so we didn't know what to expect when we got here! We really had no plans... and then slowly but surely our plans in Serbia always revolve around food :D! Yum yum
@@JetLagWarriors loving that foreigners like our food, if you still up here or/is interesting into going to some other small places I am glad to be of service :) much appreciated :)
volim ovu bracu u pozadini sto pricaju o kursu evra hahah
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
Guys im so happy u had great food experience , and just like u said u just have to find best restaurants , there are bunch of places with ok food but there are few amazing places. one more thing i think that NISH have best burek and overall best food in serbia :) JUST MY OPIONION :)
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
I'm in Serbia thanks
This is my city ❤
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 :)
Nis is capital in food :)
I am agree with you guys ☺️
welcome to Niš, the kingdom of the best barbecue in the world
Thank you!!🍗🍖🥩🧆
Welcome
We wish you a very happy and healthy life and enjoy in our country our food and come again.
I recommend 'Mali hrast' kafana, one of the best 'pecenje' in Serbia. It's small kafana and reservation is a must. It's in place Bukovik, near Arandjelovac.
Thanks for the reccommendation!
I don't think you can beat family run establishments, it's not just the name of the restaurant that is at stake but the name of the family. The food looked amazing. Grilled meat, and preserved meat, like hams and salami's, along with cheeses are also excellent in Slovenia, but those combinations with cheese and ham are the next level. A few hours walking will be required after this delicious feast. "The best restaurant ever" coming from Ivana, now that's a recommendation. We will have to have a visit ourselves.
Hope we will make it to Slovenia one day. Heard a lot about it from you actually😊👍 Thank you
@@JetLagWarriors Yes Sorry, I really do love Slovenia and it's people. I hope you get to visit one day too. Sure you will enjoy it. I have missed it these last two years through one thing and another. It's a very small country with a big heart and fantastic people. Your vidoes in Serbia have reminded me of it such a lot. Snowing there at the moment, I always watch the webcams. Hopefuly you get to visit my Wife's home state of Sarawak in Malaysia too. We were both hoping to spend more time there too now that we have retired from work, but again our plans have had to be changed.
