Such a great place ! The food was amazing, everything homemade and fresh. The service was great, we really enjoyed eating here. Highly recommend trying this place out, you won't be disappointed .
Great place. Outstanding food and reasonable prices. Family run and service is a bit thin but still worth it.
Loved the place. 20+ years in service to the community... like a ripe wine, only gets better with age. Cultural setting, memorabilia, artifacts, Homeland snacks... and food as if gma made it in the kitchen behind the scenes. And to be honest cost of everything is 1/2 as what it should be vs. American foods. Out of state visit, by will go back on first occasion <3
This place is one of my favorite Bosnian restaurants by authenticity and by food quality. I have been there 5 years ago and the ambiance and quality was the same.
Delicious place! Highly recommend the cevapi, it's incredible. Absolutely amazing. My mom liked the Gulas too. The restaurant looks a little rough outside, but the inside is adorable. It is decorated like a little old town square, complete with big wooden doors, fake birds, and interesting antique decor. The coffee is great too. This little place far exceeded my expectations!
First time having Bosnian food and it was wonderful! The meat they serve is halal and the decor is traditional.
I was famished and had the punjena pljeskavica and the pileci sendvic. Both came sizzling hot and were amazing. They're freshly made and well seasoned. The service was also great with the server checking up on me repeatedly to see if I needed anything. Would definitely recommend.
The food here was good. It was our first time having Bosnian food. The atmosphere felt like you were actually in another country. We had the cevapi, bosanski lonac, gulas, and extra grilled lepina. All of it was delicious. The cevapi came with onion. We had an orange soda called Jupi with dinner.
My only issue was with the service. Our server was nice and courteous, yet after she brought out our food, we never saw her again. I would have liked another soda and a water refill for the table. We also needed to-go boxes. I had to go up and ask for the boxes and bags and to pay the check. Overall, it was an okay experience. We will be back to try the lamb gyro.
From the outside it looks like any other strip mall,,, but this little restaurant is like a jewel in the wall,,,, but you must check it out. I had the best gyro so far in the valley. And the decor will make you feel like you are in another country. So if you like gyros you must check out this restaurant,,, you will leave happy and a fool stomach. My wife and I are very happy we stopped to check it out.
AMAZING! We wanted to try Bosnian food for the first time and has the best experience! The owner is so sweet. She makes ALL the food and desert. You can definitely feel the love in this place. YOU MUST TRY THIS PLACE ASAP!!!

Old Town Sarajevo
Cuisine: Bosnian
Halal: All Meats
Stepping into this restaurant brings with it a rush of nostalgia for simpler times. At the entrance sits the owner (who is muslim) with family and friends chatting emphatically in their native Bosnian. A football banner adorns the counter with a pantry of Bosnian snacks for sale to the left. There is ample seating with two booths available (last image).
We started out with a cup of native Bosnian coffee, quite reminiscent of Turkish coffee. Strong, simple, and flavorful. (Image 4)
Sarma -> Stuffed Cabbage
Cabbage leaves wrapped well seasoned ground beef. The cabbage and beef were cooked to perfection with every bite melting in your mouth. (Image 2)
Pljeskavica Punjena Gljivama -> beef patty with mushrooms served with homemade Lepina bread. Reminded me of a rustic style philly cheese steak. (Image 3)
Sis Kevap -> Kebab served with homemade Lepina Bread, sour cream, and relish. They call this a sausage on their menu, but it definitely resembles an Iraqi style kebab. The relish adds a hint of sweet which contrasts the sour cream perfectly. Best eaten with everything wrapped in the Lepina. (Image 1)
This restaurant serves a unique muslim cuisine we are not routinely exposed to in the US and provides a segue into learning about the rich cultural history of Bosnia. Will definitely be coming back again.

Visiting from Chicago, this is easily the best meal I’ve had in memory - far and away the best meal I’ve had in Arizona. The incredible depth of flavor catches you off guard given the straight forward look of the food. The chef is incredibly skillful and presents the food to you herself with a warm pride that I think is well deserved.
We let her order for us. She gave us incredibly tender and well seasoned cevapi served with perfect fresh bread. Lamb so tender it fell easily off the bone with the slightest pressure from a fork - and the bones filled with rich marrow that came out easily like drinking from a straw. Perfect mashed potatoes. Perfect spinach pita. Pickled white peppers served home fermented sauerkraut that complimented the occasional heaviness of the meat. Simple, nourishing soup that could not have been improved. She presented our bill with a delicious Bosnian chocolate bar.
I don’t ever write reviews, but I was just genuinely floored by this meal and hope as many people try it as possible. Spectacular restaurant!!!!!
Food was delicious and brought out pretty quickly the cevape that I had eaten here was delicious also had an Phoeix Sun's Player by the name of Jusuf Nurkic he was awesome person those who recognized him asked for photos which he did with a smile
