"Every bite of Burek at Sarajevska Ćevabdžinica takes me back to the streets and flavors of the Balkans. For me it's not just food; it's a place where I can travel without travelling. Here, I don't just satisfy my cravings for authentic Burek; I immerse myself in a cultural heaven where I get to practice my Serbian with such a sweet and beautiful soul - the owner! Their warmth and hospitality make every visit extra special. And let's talk about the coffee - "domaća kava" - my absolute favourite in the entire world. It's the perfect companion to the savory Burek, making every sip and bite a moment to cherish. If you're looking to experience genuine Balkan hospitality, unmatched flavors, and a place where every visit feels like coming home, then you know where to go."

"Tasty and satisfying We took goulash soup, meat was super tender. Burek as expected, unfortunately, they run out of meat and cheese burek and we had potato and spinach ones. They were still good, just not our favorite fillings"

"This place is amazing! The food is very tasty and fresh and the owner is super nice! We usually came here for Dinner when we picked up the skis (from the ski rental) or when we dropped them off. It's been great every time. Sometimes we also take food for the next day. The börek and the cevapcici are really really good."

"We had 2 portion of Cevapcici, it was good and tasty. I had the normal cevapcici and my girlfriend choose the flat meat (like a thin burger), we also had a salad with cucumber and feta. They gave us ayvar onion and yogurt sauce for the sandwich. The yogurt sauce was not enough for 2 sandwiches. But I would still recommend this place as the meat was excellent!"
