“ This place is one of its kind. The bureks are delicious, not oily at all as they are prepared on fire not fried. Really fantastic. Shame they don't serve coffee. ”
“ The burek here was amazing! It tasted great, and it was my first time trying a dish prepared under a sač—a metal lid placed over the meal and heated from above. Just a heads-up: it was a bit confusing at first since there are two restaurants with the same name. I ended up going to the one inside the square which is the “original one” instead of the one right by the road. I definitely recommend trying it. The staff were warm and welcoming. And don’t forget to buy a yoghurt / ayran as it’s a must when eating these dishes ”
“ Amazing Burek and amazing service, I went to Banja Luka to visit the city and we stopped randomly here. We were really surprised with such a good service provided by the waitresses, they were really friendly and invited us for Rakja. The food was tasty, my first time trying burek, and I can just say that it will be difficult to find a better one! 100% recommended. ”
“ Tasty Bureks and a very local feel. Small and cozy place. The prices are really good for eu standards but also reasonable for local ones. The ladies are also very welcoming and friendly. Only cash payments unfortunately, no cards accepted. ”
