Nothing Blue About Danube

by famousblueraincoat

Didn't know much about Bulgarian food before eating here. Was really impressed with the cooking. It's the owner's mom! Meat was so tender. Appetizers were good. Get ordering advice from mom and son b/c some of the dishes aren't authentic. No wine but you can BYO for only $3.50!

• Pros: great meats, good value, cheap corkage
• Cons: hard for beginners to know what's authentic

Unexpected Bulgarian gem brings a taste of Eastern Europe to Westwood.

by Martha Burr

In Short
Among the crowd of Persian spots on Westwood Boulevard, this charming home to Bulgarian cuisine stands out. Two intimate rooms evoke Old World romance with colorful red woven tablecloths, fresh flowers, candles, oil landscapes and Bulgarian folk art. UCLA crowds, Eastern European emigres, and neighborhood locals journey into Mediterranean classics like tabbouleh, hummus and moussaka, and specialties like seasoned ground pork, baked egg with Bulgarian feta in a pot, grilled salmon with dill, and lamb kebab in parchment paper.

Delicious!

Loved the stuffed bell peppers. This restuarant has a great selection, fast service and European ambience. This is the kind of place you'll keep going back to, working your way through the menu, item by item.

• Pros: Ambience, service, quality of food
• Cons: Parking can be tricky.
