Wonderful Pan-Yugoslavian (Bosnian, Serbian, Croatian, etc.) dishes that truly make you feel at home. I have American friends who didn't grow up with this cuisine and have never set foot in the Balkans, yet they adore the food here just like the rest of us! It's so easy to get addicted--especially to the soups and stews (supe, čorbe) and meat dishes (roštilj!). They bake their own breads, including fresh lepinja, so you'll leave with much more bread in your belly than you thought you needed (and feel happy about it for days!). All the traditional delicacies are spot on: ćevapi, ajvar and burek. The staff is wonderfully friendly, and the warm atmosphere inside completely complements its unpretentious (and, honestly, sketchy looking) exterior, which only adds to the charm. read more

What an experience at Old Town Saravejo. I tried ce vapi in Bosnia a couple months ago and absolutely loved it- perfectly season sausage, delicious bread- so tasty. The ce vapi I had at Old Town Saravejo was awesome. I ordered the 5 sausage ce vapi for lunch which was plenty. The staff was super friendly. I enjoyed my conversation with the Serbian man and Romanian woman. They were nice enough to let me try a Nutella crepe they just made as well. I can't wait to come back and bring my family. No restaurant like it in PHX. Hidden gem alert. read more

My lunch group of 12 visited Old Town Sarajevo for lunch last week and we had a wonderful time. The interior is uniquely designed like the streets of Sarajevo, the service excellent, and the food delicious. Between us all we had the Goulas, Bosanski Lonac, Sarma, Civapi, and a variety of deserts to top off the meal. Everyone in the group gave a big thumbs up, and it is definitely on our list for a repeat! read more

One of the best Bosnian meals in my life! The food was spot on authentic Bosnian, and I lived there. The cevapi was perfect (meat rolls) served with fluffy pita bread. Eat this with raw onion l, ajvar (red pepper dip) and sour cream... so delicious! The sarma (cabbage rolls) and the pita (cheese and meat filled pastry) are amazing! Had this wonderful server who told us all about the food and suggested dishes. They served up the food family style which was perfect for our group of 7! Even ended with Turkish coffee and four kinds of desserts: baklava, apple roll, and a meraigne cake. The decor was as old town Sarajevo, and was spot on! So great inside the non descript outside. Loved the attention to detail! Overall, an amazing experience! Thank you Sarajevo was a fabulous time! read more

The food was amazing. The server was super sweet. Such a quaint and wonderful restaurant. I will be going back again. Love it.

Love it, really! Can't say that enough. If you're coming from the East Valley like we are, it SO worth the drive. Expand your experience, dine in Bosnia! read more

Great Service, Friendly, Helpful. Food was great. First time visitor, can not say enough about the place. Go try it.

Wow! This place is a gem and has won a spot as one of my favorite places in all of the valley! The food was delicious! The service was great! The decorations are beautiful! And the prices were unbelievable! We walked through the front doors and were immediately transported to a new place. To me it felt like stepping into an old European set. For $33 we had dinner for two plus dessert! (We did get a free dessert for being first timers at the restaurant - did I mention the service was great?) Can't wait to go back and try other items on their menu! read more

Everything was good about this place. Service , food, atmosphere. Highly recommend!

First of all, do not let the uninviting surrounding of the restaurant fool you, the inside is so cute, took me back to some parts of my own country. Our server was such a nice lady. I definitely felt at home. She was also very quick with everything which I loved. The food was absolutely amazing. We had the spinach pita and cevape both of which were amazing and very fulfilling. Definitely will go again whenever I feel homesick. read more

The food is great. The owners are very friendly. The restaurant is beautiful inside, based on the old buildings in Sarajevo, it really feels like you are in a whole other country especially with the friendly staff. The food is very affordable and would highly recommend coming here. read more

This is a hidden gem! The restaurant is deceptively big once you enter into the small strip mall door. The food -- amazing. A Bosnian friend gave me a couple ideas of what to order, and the water told us those were excellent choices and suggested some other dishes. My brother and I shared everything. Basically, it is similar, but very different to other Mediterranean food. Phyllo, bread, and meat feature heavily, but the spice profile is so different that Greek, Turkish, Lebanese, and Persian cuisine. (I love them all, but they are all different.) The desserts were sweeter than what I was used to from Greek and Turkish. Service was friendly. They are closed on Tuesdays. Come here, I don't think you'll be disappointed. read more

Excellent food and service both. Lots of interesting choices and a nice quiet place.

Saw the reviews, and I was pretty excited! Now, not so much. My son had the two items in the bread. The punjena is a meat patty inside the bread with a side of sour cream and some type of red pepper sauce. The patty was flavorful but an odd texture. Kind of spongy. Maybe that's the way it's supposed to be. This was our first time at a Serbian restaurant. The other dish he ordered was the Cevapi. It consists of little sausages in the same bread. I think they were the same meat as the patty, just formed into sausage shapes. The bread was great. Tangy, tender and chewy. My lamb shank was great. Fall off the bone tender and full of flavor. The mash was smooth and silky. Now for the disappointment. The wait time was ridiculously long! 20 or 30 minutes to get our order. Maybe there was a long prep time. Wasn't because the place was packed. There were around 8 to 10 people when we got there. After we got our food, it was another 20 minutes or so before the server came back to check on us. We asked for a container for our leftovers. Another 15 minutes or so. When the containers were delivered, she asked me if I wanted my tea now. Yes, please. Another 10 or 15 minutes. When it arrived, it was a cup of hot water with a tea bag. So, after all that, we won't be back. read more

What a lovely restaurant! We enjoyed the wonderful homemade Bosnian food, friendly service and charming decor. The lepinja (bread) was outstanding, and the begova corba (soup) was the best I have ever had (including in Bosnia). We loved the cevapi (beef sausages) too. If you order this, make sure to get it with kajmak (clotted cream). We are so glad we stopped here before leaving Phoenix. read more

If you think I rated this restaurant with 5 stars because it was amazing well my friend you are correct...except 5 stars just aren't enough!! There is no doubt everything on the menu is homemade with simple yet fresh ingredients and just a lot of love and tradition. I would love to tell you what dish was my favorite but fortunately everything was so good I can't decide. I have a feeling the dishes I have yet to try will also be 10 out of 5stars!! p.s the best part is that you leave feeling full yet not heavy so it's a win win read more

Wasn't that impressed with the food here. It all tasted ok but nothing wowed me. The cabbage rolls were ok and stuffed well just didn't have alot of the flavor that I'm used to in a cabbage roll. The cheese pie also didn't seem to have much cheese as well. The gyro was probably the best of the three dishes we got. But all in all not that impressed. Also during covid the staff wasn't wearing masks if that is important to you. read more

I never had Bosnian food before. Looking at the menu, some dishes looked familiar so those are the ones we ordered - gyros, cheese pie and stuffed cabbage. The pictures for the house bread looked really delicious. After trying it, I thought it was just okay. All 3 dishes were fine. Based on the other reviews, I thought the dishes would excite me to eat more Bosnian food. But it didn't. Maybe we just ordered the wrong dishes. read more

Don't let the exterior fool you, the place has great decorations and an old school feel to it once you go inside. Servers are super friendly, they do not bother you too often but at the same time do they make sure that we you taken care of. Servers are always willing to chat if we are up for it. We come here for cevapi, they aren't quite like back home, but they are good! Lamb shank is great when they have it available and the wife liked the pljeskavica (the burger patty) when she tried it. I love their baklava and hurmasice from the desert menu when they are available. read more

I really wanted to love this place! It's such a cute and authentic feel when you walk in. I had no issues with their service but me and my guest were also the only ones there at dinner time on a Wednesday. For me I've just had better ballon food in the area. Their "cheese pita" was on the tougher side with very little cheese. I've had much fresher bureks at other bakeries in the valley. We also ordered the cevapi which was good but again the bread it came with was overly greasy and just not that came out if the oven recently taste. They were out of cabbage rolls when I attempted to order those. The freshest and tastiest item was their simple salad. Maybe we came on a bad night? I'm not really sure. The items on their menu all sounded great. But the items we received were pretty average unfortunately. read more

Beautiful indoor space, nice wait staff. First time having Bosnian food. We ordered pita with ground beef and the cevape. The cevape was lovely, the onions were a nice accompaniment. We got all of the side sauces (sour cream and avbar). The pita was nice - I think I was expecting the phyllo to be a little crispier. We also had dessert - a vanilla custard. The dough felt both a little tough and undercooked, which was odd, but the custard itself was creamy and light! read more

Typical food that when you close your eyes, you feel like your eating at a kafič. Everything was delicious from the čorba to the čevapci to the Tursku kafu. Service was stellar and if you're in the neighborhood, make a point to stop by and say Prijetno! read more
