Trophy cabinet with a side of food

May 2022 • solo

This isn’t the place to go for for the food. It’s not dog food but it’s more the experience as it’s filled with Novak’s trophies. Staff were inattentive when I first got there and seemed confused about the booking I’d made a month before. It’s expensive for what you get food wise, though there are daily specials. No pizza or pasta to be seen

Good Serbian Food!

Nov 2019 • none

Whether you are a Novac fan or not, this place is a nice restaurant to visit. Lots and lots of trophies everywhere makes a special ambiance even if you are not interested in tennis. Novac Jokovic is a national hero and that is a good enough reason for many people to come to this restaurant - but the food is also nice. Good food choices, Serbian and international cuisine. The prices are more or less reasonable, though a bit on the high side.

Dinner at Novak 1

Nov 2024 • family

The food was tasty, but the waiter was not good at all . We were a group of 5 persons and arround 5 PM went to Novak 1 to eat. One of the waiters lead us to the table , then took our order. But he didn't remember to bring us all the food we ordered, we wanted desert but he said that they only have one piece of tre lece.. Another minus is that the smoking is allowed in the restaurant and the smoke was everywhere . I would come back for food, but not with the same waiter.

Disappointing

Oct 2021 • couples

Ordered vegan noodles with tofu. Waited for the meal for about 45min. Got vegan noodles with store bought vegan feta cheese. When complained there's no tofu on my plate, the waiter first tried to convince me that the "cheese" is tofu. 5 min later he told me they ran out of tofu and replaced it with "another cheese" like no big deal. For all the non vegans - these 2 ingredients, tofu and vegan feta are completely different produce and cannot serve as replacement. Anyway the service is arrogant and ignorant, there are literally 2 vegan options on the menu. A true disappointment, this was my first and last time visit.

Amazing food but everything else is really bad!

Oct 2023 • family

We had reservation for 4 people, when we arrived no one was at the front desk, we where therefore a bit confused if anybody came to us, but after a short while we stepped in to what seemed the bar, where are waiter asked what we wanted. We said that we had a reservation for 4, but he did not even ask for our names at said that we should wait, even though the place was almost empty. We where asked if we wanted to have something to drink, which we did and order and sat down. Then another waiter (the 2nd) came at sat us at our table and asked what we wanted to drink, we said that we just ordered drinks, he was a bit confused and left. Not short after there was a 3rd waiter, all a bit confusing with 3 waiters, 2 of them where so arrogant, they did not even look at you or had a little smile on their faces. Then we noticed the tabels where dirty, and the plates was not washed, a bit sad! Then we got our menu, which was a menu printed on normal A4 from a printer held with a paper clip, so bad that a restaurant of this capacity didn't bother to make a more suitable menu presentation. While we waited we noticed 2 empty shelves, where we assume the trophies had been, I mean why not remove them in the first place?! We asked the waiter where the trophies where, and where told that they are up in the private room, we all thought OK, a bit strange, and we where told that there where photos of the trophies, a bit of a joke, if we wanted to see the photos we could have seen them on the internet. We got our food, after 1 hour of wait, 1 hour! The food was great, really good, which sadly is the only thing good about this restaurant. The whole restaurant was a smoking area, there where no non smoking area which is a big no go for us at least, we noticed the a bit odd and old decor with the white trim around the light where yellowed from the smoking. And what is about the big ugly statue at the entrance? He looks fat from a medieval age, what about putting a real look a like statue of him, if that is what you like to. It seems like no body cares here, except for the cooks, the waiters are arrogant and not very service minded. Again the food was great, but you can get similar or better food elsewhere. We would not come back here.

Expensive restaurant with bad service and average food

Nov 2022 • business

I was very disappointed to see two old men working as waiters , without knowledge of English. One of them recommended to us Serbian brandy ('dunja') which was tasty but extremely expensive in comparison with similar restaurants. Other problem is that prices from site are different from prices in restaurant (there in menu you can find stickers with higher prices written with pen. Food was OK, but much worse than in my previous visits. Average is good word. Attached invoice for 3 persons. For 105 EUR in Belgrade you can find much better and cheaper solutions for nice dinner. I think that they are only restaurant at New Belgrade with closing hour 10 p.m. Shame on you Mr Srdjan Djokovic!!!

Wonderful experience

Sept 2019 • none

We dropped in for a coffee and to see the trophies, but were pleasantly surprised to see Novak’s father there watching American football (The KC Chiefs!) and enjoying a cigar with friends. I was approached by the coach of Partizan FC, Savo Milosević, who was kind enough to introduce me to Mr. Djoković and let me take pictures of Novak’s trophies from inside the private sitting area. As a Chiefs’ fan and a Djoković fan, meeting the family and talking football with a famous coach really made our trip to Belgrade special. Stephanie from San Diego, California

Must be better

Oct 2020 • business

Location near highway and hotel IN, there is public parking. The interior must be much better and cozy. Beef steak is very good, selection of vines and rakija is ok. Staff should be more subtle. We are talking about the Novak, one of the best ever!

Waiters need training

Feb 2023 • solo

Waiter was very rude. Restaurant was empty and I used a table for four persons. Waiter came out and directed me to a two person table in a very nasty way. He kept talking in Serbian in a very nasty way

A mixed feeling

Mar 2023 • solo

Restaurant is situated close to IN Hotel where I was staying. A very nice place, friendly staff, good variety off food for reasonable prices. A mixed feelings concerning the food. Great chicken soup, one of the best I have eaten. But "čevapčiči" were a big disappointment. Absolutely too salty. For my taste not well done, some of them were "pinky" insight. Far from the food I would expected in the mid of Belgrade. I have to add very good bread and excellent "dunjevaca".

Great experience / Djokovic fan

Oct 2023 • business

Great place when you're a fan of Novak Djokovic like I am! The food is good and the choice is quite wide. The decor is very good and highlights Novak Djokovic's (countless) trophies. Very happy to have had this experience in Belgrade.

Eccentric place

Oct 2024 • business

There are to my surprise quiet some vegetarian / vegan options available, clearly labeled and the waiter seams to be aware. The dish I had was just OK however.

Excellent evening

Sept 2024 • family

Went Friday 27.09.24 for dinner and we were overwhelmed with all the trophies and modern interior. Our waiter Petar greated us with a warm smile. As the evening went on, Petar helped us with our choice of wine and food. He was outstanding professional and with a SUPER sence of humour. The food and wine was EXCELLENT!! We will be back with the rest of the family. Thank you very much for a wonderful evening "even if we missed Mr. Novak for 3min staring at our menus" 🤦🏻‍♀️ THANK YOU PETAR and rest of the team 💚

A great place to go - Loved It!!

Jul 2024 • friends

Had a great time - food was excellent and service from Ivan in particular could not have been better. Novak memorabilia including Major trophies from Wimbledon and the Australian open are very cool as is the terracotta warrior statue - great photo opportunity But the quality of the food delighted us - it was great. Caters very well for vegetarians, I heard Novak eats a plant based diet, you can tell that focus has been given to high quality choices and ingredients. And you must try Novaks favourite chocolate cake! We were a party of 12 and Ivan handled it easily. Thank you Ivan for looking after us so well, you really added an extra special element to a superb night.
