Grill House is an authentic local grill, the kind of place where the grill does most of the work and plates arrive hot. Start with the homemade chvarki (pork cracklings): crisp, clean, not greasy, perfect with warm bread and a spoon of kajmak or ajvar. Then move to the grill — mixed platters, kebapi, pork neck, sharska — but save room for the star: beef liver on the grill. It’s cut right, seared hard, left juicy inside, and properly seasoned so it tastes like liver should, not like a compromise. Not to forget the classic Macedonian pie, Pastrmajlija, which is quite good for Skopje.
Service is straightforward and quick, portions are sensible, and prices are friendly for what you get. Tables, however, are tiny. If you’re four people, ask for a table for six and thank yourself later; it makes sharing easier and keeps the hot trays from crowding your drinks.
A note on smoking: many guests treat the main room as smoking by default. Officially, there is a non-smoking area, but it’s cramped and can feel isolated when the place is full. If you’re sensitive to smoke, aim for earlier hours or a quick in-and-out meal.
What makes Grill House work is its focus. No theatrics, no overlong menu, just a kitchen that understands meat, heat, and timing. Come for chvarki and liver, add a simple salad and bread, share a mixed grill, and you’ll see why Aerodrom regulars keep this spot in their rotation: authentic flavor, fair price, zero fuss.
