Customer Reviews

I've been here twice. The warm and friendly service and high quality food are consistently good. Ambience is cultural, lovely and cozy. Some of the ingredients on the menu are even house-made, e.g., one type of cheese in the schnitzel. We ordered a bacon wrapped pork 'steak' which came with potatoes and was rather filling so my mother and I shared it. We added a salad with feta on the side. It was yummy and fresh but a bit pricey considering the portion size. Krempita was a marvellous dessert. I also recommend the schnitzel that I ordered last time which was also quite satiating and featured an oozing cheese filling. I'll definitely return to try their top selling sandwich.

Visiting Tenen was a culinary delight! From the first bite to the last, every dish was a burst of flavor and authenticity. I tried the lamb and rainbow trout, two dishes I hold to high standards due to my Persian background, and they were cooked to perfection, rivaling even the best homemade versions. The owner's warm hospitality added to the experience, making us feel right at home. The service was attentive and friendly, enhancing the overall ambiance of the restaurant. Tenen offers more than just great food; it provides an immersive cultural experience. The atmosphere is vibrant and inviting, making you feel like you've stepped into a Serbian home. From the decor to the music, every detail adds to the authenticity of the experience. It's not just a meal; it's a journey through culture and cuisine. A truly memorable dining experience!

Ate here last night for the first time. Incredible food and wonderful atmosphere. Most of the restaurant had been reserved but the staff was very accommodating. Maybe phone ahead to check seating availability. The food was incredible, Every bite from every dish we tried was delicious. The portions were huge as well, we both went in hungry and left with about half of our meals in takeaway containers. Will absolutely be back to try more from this place, highly recommended.
