We had a mixed ćevapi platter — a large portion that was more than enough even for a hungry adult man. We truly enjoyed the meal and would definitely recommend this place. It’s just a pity they don’t serve draft beer — that would’ve made the experience even better."

Apr 01, 2026"simply great! First of all, the staff speaks English! They are very friendly and helpful. We got the mixed plate for two on their recommendation, and each one was definitely our favourite. We couldn’t peak one . The ambiance of the restaurant is perfect, we came in November, we couldn't sit outside, but the interior is warm both physically and in terms of decor. Of course, we recommend you to try their local beers as you were there their prices are very reasonable according to the service and taste they provide! Definitely recommended !!"

Only cash payments unfortunately, no cards accepted. People smoking inside but it’s a general Bosnian issue. Didn’t bother me much tho, because they had good ventilation."
