Хан Хаджи Николи Hadji Nikoli Inn

Since not hungry we just ordered 3 dish. The Bulgarian salad is recommended, you can try different types together. But the bread is no good, it was too greasy and taste a bit bitter. The pork neck is too dry but the taste is good, which shows the quality of rough material but also poor of cooking. The mushrooms is recommended, very good combination with cheese. Also I have to highlight the service, the young lady is really nice and polite.

Service was amazing! The two waitresses were so professional and sweet. The food (I only had a salad) was also delicious, and the atmosphere was gorgeous.

I would give it a 4 out of 5 rating because when we tried to visit on June 5th, 2023 in Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria, the restaurant was closed. It may have been closed due to the national holiday in Romania, Bulgaria, and Greece, but other restaurants were still open. Despite Han Hadji recently ranking 2nd or 3rd on TripAdvisor, we were looking forward to dining there again since we had a great experience with delicious food in 2018.

The waiters are very helpful and kind. The food and the atmosphere are very good. The building is a part of the Bulgarian cultural and historical heritage and when you stay in the restaurant you feel like you go back in the Renaissance.

They changed the chef most probably as the food was just acceptable/eatable. The courtyard is nice and the service could have been better. They didn't know how to explain the desert made of corn for example.
