Restaurant Description
"Danube, L.A.'s only Bulgarian restaurant, opened three months ago. It's a tiny, tidy storefront cafe on Westwood Boulevard, and it's worth a trip across town to try its wonderful mix of unique national dishes and border-crossing regional specialties. And if you live in the area, it might end up being a favorite neighborhood spot." "The kitchen, headed by owner Rafi Sarkisian's mother, Vanni, is accomplished and consistent, so it's no surprise that the back room always seems to be booked by a private party of expats" Susan LaTempa Aug. 9, 2006, LA Times October 20, 2006 - REVIEW ”We live a few blocks away and consider this a real neighborhood find! the food is very good, the service decent and the owners are warm and friendly. It seems to have become a home for bulgarian ex-pats and exchange students, so the food is very authentic” (Review, Neighborhood Regular). August 28, 2006 - REVIEW ”Outstanding choice for anyone looking for the taste of quality Balkan cuisine” (Review, Neighborhood Regular).
