Chef Alisah's Restaurant

Came all the way from New York just to eat this man's food. I am a huge Guy Fieri fan. We do try to travel where we can go to restaurants that have been featured on the show. This was no disappointment. The owner is friendly and funny and insisted that he tell us what to eat because he knew what was good in his kitchen. I got the meatballs and my husband got the goulash some of the best food I have ever eaten. If you are anywhere near Tucson you absolutely have to try this restaurant.

We got the chef's surprise here for 3 - it was essentially a giant meat platter with chicken breast, pork and beef sausages, gyro, and skewers over 3 different types of rice, broccoli with cheese, and salad. It was a lot of food and we had enough leftovers for several meals afterwards. All the meats were slightly on the saltier side; the chicken was kinda dry, but the gyro and skewer tasted pretty good.

Excellent!! Good food. Came for lunch with the family. Chef owned and operated. Sausages, Special beef with mushrooms. Goulash. Bosnian meatballs. Oh and Bosnian coffee- so thick... Chef has great personality. Food was out fast. Great local joint. Wish I'd have come sooner.

Charming Eastern European Bosnian restaurant. There is no alcohol there but you can BYOB it if you would like. Not pretentious joint welcomes you to expect homecooking. The Bosnian style tzatziki and ajvar dip appetizer is so good. That red bell pepper eggplant dip (adjvar) was addictive! Homemade bread was delicious. Dinner date had the Bosnian Style Goulash which hit the spot. Owner waited on us and I let him guide me to what I should order and he did not steer me wrong. He recommended I get the #2 special beef dish with mushroom sauce... I was mildly intimidated to just let him pick my dish but it was worth the blind leap in faith. The cabbage salad that came with was tasty and I want to replicate it at home! We had inquired with the owner about the Chef's Choice dinner for two and since he earned my trust by picking out what I should order.... the next time we go back we will put faith in him to take us on that path and match up what it is he wants to dazzle us with. Definitely recommend. Careful when you try to pull into this place because if you miss it it's kind of a pain to get back into that opening where the restaurant is located. Highly recommend. Thank you Chef Alisah!

I dined in for dinner today and was reminded why I was reminded of the time I had them 15 years ago. The warm, cozy atmosphere makes it feel more like you’re visiting someone’s home than just going out to eat. The cevapi was absolutely delicious—perfectly seasoned, juicy, and so good I found myself wanting more with every bite. The bread that came with it, delicious. The tzatziki sauce and onions added to the flavor town. The baklava was, without question, the best I’ve had (and I had my fair share of baklava too)! So good that I asked for a second one (and still craving more). Rich, flaky, and just the right amount of sweetness to end the meal on a high note. This isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a place filled with heart, tradition, and unforgettable flavors. I will be returning again.

First time here, a very pleasant surprise, we ordered the sampler plate for 2 and it was delicious, you get 4 chicken breast, 2 stakes, @ 10 homemade sausage links and 2 ground beef patties, with 2 types of rice with 2 different sauces. Seriously for 2 people!! The way it was prepared and the flavors in all the different meats. It’s a 40min drive from our house and I have already booked a dinner date with some friends so I can introduce them to this hidden treasure. Don’t let the look device you when you get there. It’s definitely a regular location for us moving forward. I can’t wait to try the goulash.

Chef's is our go to restaurant. This quiet family run restaurant offers tasty well prepared eastern European comfort foods. The portions are ample and the prices are reasonable. The service is great with the family checking on you throughout the meal. Unlike many busy, loud places, Chef's offers a place for a leisurely meal and a nice atmosphere for a quiet visit.

Best beef Goulash ever! Not to mention their Bosanska kafa ☕️ Chef Alisah and his wife are such amazing people and cooks!
