I've been here a few times . The first was totally random: a friend and I picked it because it was the busiest ćevabdžinica around, which seemed like a good sign. It definitely was. The place is simple and welcoming, with a pretty basic menu and not much in the way of frills, but the food is great and it's... More

Definitely, one of the best čevapi places in town. Order it with the special yoghurt drink they offer and don't spare on taking a fair amount of onion with it. A bliss!

The cevapcici are really good but they would be much better if they would give more attention to each guest and portion. There are to many guests, it's to busy, they try to manage all of them and try to serve you as fats as possible so you leave as fast as possible. It ends up whit a pita which... More

Maybe before this was one of the best cevabdzinica in old town of Bas carsija but it isn't anymore. Simple (as it should be) but not that quality and taste as before. Next day I was eating at Ferhatovic petica restaurant and it was way better.

There are actually 2 Zeljo's there, Zeljo 1 and Zeljo 2. One of them (don't remeber which one) does not have toilets so you can't wash your hands before eating. If you need a toilet then you have to go across the street to another Zeljo. Both Zeljo's are extrenly crowded so might have to wait to be seated and... More

The cevapcici are good. Not the best you can get in Sarajevo but its ok. The prices are everywhere same, but the value isnt that good. The service was bad, they don't even listen to you, just tear you from the street into the restaurant and ask you what you want.
