Not quite Croatian but there's a Bosnian restaurant in Santa Clara on
Homestead Rd in the same shopping center that Longs is in. (Between San
Tomas Expy and Kiely Blvd.) I haven't been there yet and it is *very*
small.
Just what constitutes a difference between Bosnian and Croatian food I
leave to the experts. I should think that all else failing Russian
(which is *much* easier to find, would do.

There's one on Murphy Street. It's called something like
Delgado's or DelSomething, but it's Croatian, including
a cool starter (available as a main dish too) that was
little meat-fingers in a funky sauce.
(That's Murphy Street in Sunnyvale.)
Rage away,

On Homestead in Santa Clara?
Hey look .. If they give you any guff for speaking English, just pass
yourself off as a Canadian, eh?

Looks like you're on the right track,Meg. That sounds like cevapcici.
I've always wondered why there haven't been more Croatian restaurants in
the area. The Santa Clara Valley used to have a pretty sizable population
(percentage-wise) of Croatians. Many were orchard owners. San Francisco
used to have many Croatians in the restaurant business but they rarely
served ethnic food. The two remaining places that I can think of are Sam's
and the Tadich Grill. It's too bad. It is a rich, varied, regionalized
cuisine. The Bosnian place mentioned earlier would probably serve some
dishes eaten by Croatians (as well as Serbs) living in Bosnia.
Good eats-

That was the name. Thanks.
The service there was peculiar but friendly, as all the staff
appeared to be recent emigres, with odd notions of what to say
("That's enough for you!" delivered with a beaming smile), how
to dress (more makeup and perfume than I've ever seen on a
server before), and so on. But the cevapcici was delicious.
The rest of the food was good too, if not great.
