Mugi's Coffee Bar

Where to Eat Balkan Food in London | Eater London

"Based in Ealing, Mugi has one of the widest selections of recipes and snacks from the former Yugoslavia in London. Owned by Montenegro-born Željko Mugoša, the café features staples from the region from homemade bean soup with smoked meat, to Balkan-style kofta served with ajvar and burek — a filo pastry dish filled with meat, cheese, or spinach. Deserts such as tulumba, a fried batter soaked in sugar syrup, add to the authentic Balkan experience. Mugi also has an outstanding array of snacks available for purchase that are commonly found in Balkan countries, from Argeta chicken pate to Eurocrem — Nutella’s Southeastern-European counterpart. The friendly staff are welcoming to both newcomers and the café’s steady stream of patrons from the region." - Kaltrina Bylykbashi
