Green Food: Late Night Fast Food - Local Style, Subotica

 antistar Says:  Don't be put off by the vast clouds of smoke which obscure the kitchen staff and billows out from the cooking plates - this is perfectly normal. This was a highly recommended local sit down eatery serving up quality, if unhealthy, food to hungry late night drinkers. I can't...

Warnings and Dangers  

A Safe City Centre

2.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

antistar 2514 reviews

I didn't get much outside the centre, but it felt very relaxed and safe at all hours of the day and night (and I was out pretty late). The only rowdy elements I experienced were some Serbian waterpolo fans celebrating their victory over Spain in the World Swimming Championship in Rome that night. They drove around and around the center, waving Serbian flags, leaning out of their windows, shouting and even surfing on the roof at one point. They seemed very happy though!
