This is the burek that people specifically compare favorably to Turkish versions. The phyllo is rolled thin and layered, then baked until the exterior is crispy and the interior is tender. Reviewers consistently praise the flakiness and the way the filling is balanced — not too heavy, not underseasoned. The kitchen makes it fresh daily.
Tips from diners
Eat burek hot — it hardens as it cools and loses appeal. Order and eat immediately.
Come between 11:30am and 1pm or 6-7pm when fresh batches are usually ready. If you arrive mid-afternoon, burek may have been sitting.
Cevapcici are small grilled meatballs — part beef, part pork — that are hand-formed and cooked fresh on the grill. Unlike köfte, they're thinner and more compressed. Sarajevo's version has a char exterior and a tender interior. They come with red onions, ajvar (roasted pepper spread), and flatbread for wrapping.
Tips from diners
Order two servings per person if you're hungry — one portion (six meatballs) is light. The portions are smaller than at Turkish spots.
Watch the grill from the counter — the cook will char them exactly right if you ask for them grilled a bit longer.
Roasted red pepper spread with garlic and spices.
Tips from diners
Comes with most grilled dishes, but ask for extra if you like it — the cook usually obliges.
Pljeskavica is the Balkan version of a burger: a thin patty of seasoned minced meat that's grilled and served on flatbread with ajvar (a charred red pepper spread), raw onions, and sometimes a fried egg. Sarajevo's version is lean and flavorful, cooked through but still tender.
Tips from diners
This is more substantial than cevapcici and can be a full meal on its own, especially with a side order.

Tips from diners
Great for sharing and trying all the house specialties at once.
Sarajevo is a no-frills Bosnian grill in Wedding where everything is made by hand. The burek comes out with crispy, flaky layers — customers specifically contrast it with Turkish burek spots, which get it wrong. The cevapcici are grilled fresh to order. All dishes are prepared in-house: no freezer stock, no shortcuts. The space is tiny, standing room only, but during warm months there's covered outdoor seating. Counter service, cash payments only.
Cash only — bring enough bills. No card machines on site.
No reservations. Come early (before 12:30pm) to find standing room or outdoor seating.
The indoor space is tiny and gets packed at lunch. Winter seating is cramped, but there's covered outdoor seating in the warmer months.
One of the cheapest full meals in Wedding. A burek and cevapcici with sides is under €15 total.
