Ćevabdžinica Željo

We tried this place 3 years ago, and we loved it, so this year we had dinner there every night we were in Sarajevo. It’s a simple restaurant that locals go to. It serves the best chevapis in town. The yogurt drinks are great too. We saw 3 branches, but we only tried one branch. The service is fast, and the workers are friendly.

As much as I’d love to give a glowing review—because I truly enjoy the combination of cevapi, onions, kaymak, and fresh bread—it pains me to say I left feeling disappointed. We waited over 20 minutes for a simple kiselo mljeko and water, and when the food arrived, the cevapi were undercooked and the bread was sticky inside. While the service feels fast-food style, that shouldn’t mean less care. Given the busy location, efficiency and quality could be much better.

Very tasty ćevapi, complemented by the kaymak and homemade ayran (which had a thick, creamy texture). The service was very friendly and the lady who served us even offered to take a group photo. Everything was reasonably priced as well.

Foods were great, it is a really popular place and it can be said that it lives up to the hype. The service was really fast. I had just went to the bathroom and boom it was already there. Overall i would give it 4.3 stars.

Quality of the ćevabi kebab is very low compared to two years ago. Not as tasty as in 2020. We used used to look forward to it every time we visited Bosnia. But after today's experience, we will not go again. The staff is mixed. Some are friendly and some are grouchy.

I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks and deep appreciation for the warm hospitality and outstanding service I received during my visit to your wonderful restaurant. A special thanks goes to Ne’metullah and Mohamed for their kindness, warm welcome, and exceptional professionalism, which truly reflect the spirit of genuine Bosnian hospitality. I would also like to praise the quality of the food served—it was absolutely delicious and full of authentic flavor. It was truly one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Thank you all once again. I wish you continued success and excellence, and may Ćevabdžinica Željo remain a special destination for every visitor to Sarajevo. “I look forward to returning soon With sincere respect and appreciation,

One of the best place for cevapi in Sarajevo, got this recommend by our host and it was all worth it! Give it a try since the dishes here are authentic and will taste different from the ones you are used to!

We looked for this restaurant because it was highly recommended as one of the oldest and most authentic in Sarajevo. We didn’t order ćevapi since we had already tried plenty at other places, but the food we did order was delicious and came out very quickly. The restaurant filled up fast, but we never felt rushed to finish or leave, which we really appreciated. The service wasn’t outstanding, but it was totally fine
