Restaurant Description
The Underground Café is the result of the dream of Bulgarian Soccer Player Assen Tchongov who is the owner. He grew up in the restaurant business working for his father who presently owns five successful restaurants in Bulgaria. Mr. Tchongov knows that the delicious and healthy cuisine of his homeland will be enjoyed here in America.

Bulgaria is a small country in Eastern Europe rich in history, culture and natural beauty. Because of the location and history of Bulgaria the cuisine is equally as interesting. As is most European cooking, Bulgarian cuisine is based on fresh ingredients including lots of wonderful fruits and vegetables in season, grilled and slow-cooked meats, fresh seafood, nuts, farmstead cheeses and yogurt. Bulgarian yogurt is world famous as it is where it was first created.

The beautiful décor is also a result of genuine Bulgarian artisan workmanship. The green glass tables, chairs, chipped stone bar and many of the actual serving pieces that you will see throughout the restaurant were actually imported from Bulgaria and meticulously fit into place in the present location. There was no expense spared to re-create a genuine Bulgarian feel in the restaurant.

The most important thing that Mr. Tchongov did to insure a perfect experience was to import his staff from Bulgaria. Chef Borisov and Chef Nachev have recently arrived from Bulgaria and are anxious to cook for you. They are a two man team that have had formal European training and have worked in some of the best kitchens in Europe. They have also run five star dining rooms in some of Bulgaria’s most luxurious hotels. Together they have put together a menu that reflects some of the best and most fun food that Bulgaria has to offer along with other favorites from across Europe.

We assure you that we will do whatever we can to insure that your dining experience with us is always special. Thank you.
