Two Brothers

829 SE César E. Chávez Blvd., 232-3424. Lunch and dinner Tuesday-Sunday.

Bosnia is a simmering melting pot, having been heavily influenced by the empires that have ruled it, including the Turks and Austrians. (Occasionally, the pot boils over—such as when the Serbian minority attempted a genocide of the Bosniaks and Croats.) When you cook so many cultural influences down, you end up with tiny cups of tea and spiced ground beef. Specifically, with cevapi, the breakfast sausage-sized kebabs served on pita with chopped yellow onions and sour cream. There are a surprising number of Bosnian spots in Portland, but Two Brothers is the best. Though the cevapi ($8 for five, $11 for 10) are excellent, we were even more taken with the rich, tender beef in the goulash ($8 for half, $13.50 for full). For dessert, there are well-made crepes filled with Nutella. Like I said, it's a weird melting pot.
