Deja Vu Cafe & Lounge

Came here this past Saturday with my boyfriend and a few friends. Prior to here I had never had Balkan cuisine before. The food was so delicious and so much food comes on the plate which makes it even better. My boyfriend got the «Lovechka» and I got the «Chicken Rossini». The dessert was perfection, banana Nutella crepes. I’m such a sucker for anything with Nutella. We stayed for the live music which gave the place a great ambiance of Eastern European culture. The crowd was in great spirits. My boyfriend and I just had a really great time. From the service to the food to drinks, everything was great !

Excellent Balkan/​Macedonian restaurant.
1) I got the mixed grill, uvijaci (pork), reznici (chicken), makedonka, and kebpi sausage.
2) Service was fine. Ambiance is nice.
3) People there are very enjoyable.

This is the best place for soup and Bulgarian food. If you want something different you have to try it

I love this place ! The food is constantly good and very generous. The service is always friendly. The best part is the outdoor patio, romantic lighting and great aromatic coffee. I mean can anyone ask for more?

Went there saturday night with my wife after a hiatus of several months. They had live music which was very entertaining. The menu changed a little bit, but still the food was very good. I always judge a restaurant by the bread and they served a good semolina (Venice bakery Im guessing). We had the cucumber salad with walnuts and the cabbage salad to start and the main course I had the kebapi a mixture of pork/​beef kebabs with french fries and my wife the skirt steak with mashed potatoes. Add that along with the bar bill which was several glasses of wine, expresso and cognac. The portions were very good and the prices very reasonable. Although there were new servers they were very amiable. I was not disappointed and would gladly return.

my boyfriend and I passed this place all the time and decided we should stop in and try it. we got the Macedonian sampler or whatever. the meat plate. it was a carnivores dream!!! yum each piece was great from the sausage to the ground meat patties. delish. and def worth a try

There are not so many good Macedonian places in New Jersey… But this is the best bu far. Must try!!!
I had Veal/​Beef soup, shopska salata and mixed grill, and everything was 5*.

I’m adding a star because my last 3 meals has been solid and bartenders were super cool.

Last night I discovered this wacky dive bar slash Bulgarian restaurant tucked between auto-​body shops in an unlikely stretch of North Jersey near Teterboro Airport (and Garden State Rollergirls Arena LLC). When we walked in, I thought they’d pull the needle right off the record (or hit pause on Pandora or whatever). But we were left in peace to have a few drinks and peruse the menu: a mix of American and Bulgarian/​Macedonian classics. Looks like your usual windowless bar to visit and knock some heads together, but they do indeed make food, from jalapeño poppers to grilled homemade sausages (domasni kolbasi na skara). The BF had the chicken sammich, which was giant, and on a big baguette, but apparently it was too dry. My Bulgarian salad was fascinating; very unusual, I’ve never seen the likes of it: chopped boiled egg, sauteed mushrooms, feta, red onions, roasted red peppers, olives, cucumber, tomato – no lettuce. Tavce Gravce (kidney beans cooked in an earth clay pot!) looked intriguing but my stomach wasn’t brave enough right then. A very odd find indeed, but I’m glad we did.
