Restaurant Domini Skopje
Traditional offal dishes
Domini is where Skopje nudges you out of your comfort zone in the best way. It sits in a semi-basement under a hostel, a little unassuming and a touch dated, yet locals fill the room because the kitchen cooks what most places forgot and does it with care.
This is the house of stews and offal. The tripe stew is a signature, slow and aromatic. Ox tail arrives rich and sticky, full of depth. There is krezli, beef lungs, and liver, a full tour of textures that rewards curiosity. People talk about Temelko’s stew across the city for a reason. It lands with warmth and precision.
Not everything is heavy. Keep the table balanced with a salad or a lighter plate, then circle back for another chorba or a grill item to share. Service is brisk and grounded. Dishes arrive hot, portions are generous, and pacing feels natural.
Compared with the other greasy spoons around, Domini is not the cheapest. The quality is a level up, and so is the wine list. You pay for time and technique and you taste it.
One caveat. The terrace is smoking. Non-smokers sit in a basement room without windows. Good to know before you go.
Follow the locals. Order the tripe, split the ox tail, ask about krezli, save room for liver, pair it with a glass of wine, and let the room do its work.
