This place is adorable and tasty. Fairly meat heavy. Stay late and you'll possibly be serenaded with an accordian & singing

Love this place. Especially the classics like Cevapi, Pljeskavica, Čorbast and Prebranac – simple, but delicious meals at very fair prices. Lovely interior too. Authentic.

Hrana nije baš kao u Srbiji, ali to ne znači da nije dobra. :D/The food is not as good as in Serbia, but that doesn't mean that it's not delicious. :)
