What can I say.... wow....
Eating is one of my favorite hobbies, and I absolutely love foods from different regions. Tonight's menu: Bosnian. What a crossroads of cultures. Originally, I was craving German food, Jagerschnitzel to be exact. I turned to Yelp, entered "German Food", and Bosna came up in the hit. Mediterranean.... German.... made sense to me, I guess.
I pull up to the unassuming building, and entered... warm, rich wood gives it a very comforting feel. Reading the menu before I came in, I already knew what I wanted... the "Jaegur". Never had anything like it before, so, why not... Boy, am I glad I did. If Jagerschnitzel and a Gyro had a baby, It would be the Jaegur, in the shape of a Mexican Torta. Tender, thinly sliced souvlaki, tossed with Jager sauce, piled high on what appears to be a Bosnian ciabatta style bread, thin crust and tender crumb. One bite, and you can taste the regional influences... To the south of Bosnia, you have Greece and Turkey. To the north, you have Austria and Germany. They all came together in a sandwich. Absolutely delicious, and extremely unique.
For a "side dish", I ordered their "Fried Feta Cheese Balls". Another simply amazing dish. If you've never had "Eastern European" Feta, it's a bit different than your traditional "Greek" style feta. Being fried, the composition changes... it was *almost* as salty as Nabulsi cheese, yet creamy and rich like French Brie, yet fluffy like Marscapone. Served with a Marinara sauce, where you can taste the Italian influence from right across the Adriatic Sea. The saltiness of the cheese balanced extremely well with the sweetness of the the tomato and basil of the sauce. The spices, though... still trying to pinpoint the mix... it's different... but delightful.
Bosna has been bookmarked. I will most definitely return here next time I'm in town. If you're just getting into town, make Bosna a destination. Make your meal complete with a cold glass of Bosnian beer... ;-)
I adore the food at this place. The burek (pita pita) is out of this world!! It's my go to place when asked "where do you want to go to eat"
I just don't know what could be better about this place, fresh delicious and good value not to mention attentive service. The atmosphere is relaxing from the moment you enter. I live almost 2 hours away but whenever I'm in Grand Rapids I make a point to revisit.
