Very cozy restaurant in the back you can enjoy beautiful weather and have some sweets . One thing I am not fan of is cevapi they're not served as they are in other countries of Balkan no lepina you have to ask for it and it's dry not moist , but beside cevapi plenty to choose on menu that's why I gave 4 stars .

Decent spot for Serbian fare. Small place that probably seats about 20 people. Friendly service. Won't break the bank.

Just had lunch here to support a local restaurant and it was delicious! I started with an espresso which was phenomenal. Bit of a wait for the food but definitely worth it. Spinach feta bourek was fresh and perfect. Flakey pastry which wasn't overpowered by the filling. The sudjuk sausage sandwich was insanely tasty and so well priced for both. Highly recommend this place!!

Overall Thoughts: Bina's Place is a small family-owned restaurant serving up delicious Balkan food-- truly some great quality grilled meats. The interior is decorated very simply with tables against the walls seating ~4 people each. When we came in at 6:30pm on Sunday, it was pretty empty and they were unfortunately out of most desserts (they stop serving them by 7pm). The server/owner was super sweet, and the food came out pretty quickly. The prices felt very reasonable for the quality. When I'm back in Rogers Park, I'd love to come back to try more of their menu! Food I tried: - Balkan Barbeque Plate (4.7/5): The meats were SO juicy, aromatic, flavorful, and beautifully grilled. The toasted pita was fluffy and chewy too. The chicken was a little drier than I would've liked but otherwise everything was so juicy, tender, and wonderful. - Spinach & Feta Burek (4.6/5): The burek's texture was perfect-- it's light, buttery, and flaky, and slightly chewy when you bite into it. The flavors of the spinach / feta were mild (mostly just salty) but I liked it that way, as it really let the textures of the pastry shine through. -- Price (relative to peers): 4.5/5 Food: 4.6/5 Ambience: 4.4/5 Service: 5/5 Overall Value: 4.6/5

I was intrigued, I had read that Bina's makes the best Bureks. But what is a Burek?, you may ask. This is More like 3.5 review by the way. A Burek is a pastry from the Balkans and it has a croissant like outer texture but looks like a super sized bialy. This Burek was stuffed with beef and it tasted fine but I felt like it was missing something like a dipping sauce or accompanying yogurt sauce. We got a spinach filled one as well. We also tried the Cevapi beef sausages and those were pretty good. It was served with onions and coleslaw and that helped cut down on the dryness of the Burek. It's a cute restaurant and it was my first step in being introduced to food from the Balkans.

The best burek in Chicago! It is so fluffy and delicious, perfectly filled, and amount of oil is not too much - it is actually perfect not too oily, nor dry. Any filling you choose it would be a winner. They also have delicious Bina's cake, and amazing chicken salad. Its a family business, with focus on preparing and serving amazing food, it's not a fine dining restaurant therefore you can not expect fine dine service, instead you will feel honestly welcomed and modest (in a good way) hospitality. I love going there with my family, my 1 year old loves it there, its very chilled and laid back atmosphere.

I am always here to support my people from Balkan, especially if they are working good and hard like staff from Bina's place! Extremely kind owner with impeccable service! They have a patio where you basically feel like at home. Food was delicious! They also have fanta (and we were craving it)! Highly recommend!
