We walked by after getting our nails done at Charming and this restaurant smelled SO GOOD that we couldn't resist going in for lunch. Now we make it a date, nails in one spot, lunch in the other! Amazing coffee, super tasty dishes, wonderful friendly service and an amazingly upbeat ambiance. Traditional Eastern European food from Serbia and surrounding peoples! Nice clean bathroom too!Parking: About 8 spots shared in the three-business complex. Free street parking as well!Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor parking and entrance.

Food was not bad, but not my favourite. Some of the meats weren’t very tender and the water tasted weird. The meal also wasn’t my preference, so half of it is not their fault. But I have had better cooked meats, so I wouldn’t come back again.

We dined in once and ordered several times through food delivery services, the food is always good. A bit on the pricey end but very generous portions.Absolute fan of the karadjordjeva schnitzler and the ćevapi.

Visiting Tenen was a culinary delight! From the first bite to the last, every dish was a burst of flavor and authenticity. I tried the lamb and rainbow trout, two dishes I hold to high standards due to my Persian background, and they were cooked to perfection, rivaling even the best homemade versions. The owner's warm hospitality added to the experience, making us feel right at home. The service was attentive and friendly, enhancing the overall ambiance of the restaurant. Tenen offers more than just great food; it provides an immersive cultural experience. The atmosphere is vibrant and inviting, making you feel like you've stepped into a Serbian home. From the decor to the music, every detail adds to the authenticity of the experience. It's not just a meal; it's a journey through culture and cuisine. A truly memorable dining experience!

We stopped here on a trip to Vancouver last October, and it was by far the best meal we had during our week-long stay. We had the schnitzel and roulade, and both were fresh and delicious. We really enjoyed the atmosphere, too. The owners and waitstaff were very welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a delicious Eastern European style meal!Parking: Very few parking spaces, but it's free and we did not have trouble getting a parking space at lunchtime.

It was our second time going to Tenen, we won't repeat. We had the lamb and cabbage rolls. The food came cold and tasteless. The lamb was mostly bones with bad sauce. We could not eat it. The cabbage rolls were badly prepared. Very disappointing experience.

Really great food, and so much of it! A group of four of us tried the MVP platter which is a sampling of a lot of the menu... And it was A LOT! Everything was really tasty, and the service was good too. Definitely will have to come back again!

If you have not tried European food before this place is incredible. The portion sizes are huge and the meat is decadent. My friend and I split the platter for two. We have appetites that are difficult to satisfy and we barely were able to finish it there was so much meat.

This restaurant offers a serene atmosphere and delectable food. The meat platter is generous, with juicy and tender skewers, complemented by delicious cheese. While the white wine was stronger than anticipated, it paired well with the meat. A must-visit for a delightful dining experience.
