Grand Duke's - Downers Grove

Our first time trying Eastern European food and this was a great experience. Staff was friendly and the menu was very diverse. Slightly veg friendly as there were 2-3 appetizers and entrees that contained no meat, for those wondering. Parking: Parking directly in front of restaurant.

Nice place, food is good. Gave 4 stars because they put some dishes with liver in their menu and I hated the scent of liver coming from the kitchen. It kinda ruined the atmosphere for me, I couldn't stand that scent Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

We drove a half an hour to this restaurant because my husband wanted beef stroganoff. Surprisingly it is hard to find that on restaurant menus without going into the city or downtown. I was at the previous location years ago and remembered it was very good. The beef stroganoff did not seem to have mushrooms which was fine for him because he doesn’t really like them. He had it served with spaetzle and really enjoyed it. It came with a good sized salad. I had the Lithuanian platter. Absolutely delicious! What a nice selection, the little pork dumplings were wonderful. The potato pancake was unlike anything I have ever had. The sauerkraut was the best I have ever had. I’d love to be able to make it as good. Portions were large enough for two good sized meals. There was a nice variety of items on the menu and I was surprised to see dishes I thought were Romanian on the menu like mititei and mamaliga. We also got a bread basket with some Eastern European breads. The service was just right, friendly but not too intrusive. I liked the atmosphere better than the previous place, brighter and more modern. Not crazy about all of the TV sets, so many in the dining area, but that seems to be a thing these days.
