"The dish that represents my city best is ćevapi. Sample them at Ćevabdžinica Željo."

Sarah and Kris JetSetting Fools

"We didn’t try any that we didn’t like, but the cevapi we liked best was from Cevabdzinica Zeljo 1."

Kristal Sajasi

"I don’t know whether it is the treatment of the animal/meat or the preparation, but these grilled sausages had so much more flavor."

Elyse Pasqual

"Naturally, it’s love at first bite, but what really captures my heart is the kajmak. The spreadable cheese is salty, creamy and deliciously pungent."

Julia Evans

"However surprisingly, this dish actually doesn’t require a sauce accompaniment as, despite my initial reservations, the bread is so fluffy and meat juicy that it isn’t dry at all."

The Travel Scientists

"Try the ćevapi at Željo, often said to have the best in the city."

"The preferred method of serving the food here is simple and consistent. Cevabdzinica Zeljo is my recommendation for Ćevapčići in Sarajevo."

Amanda Chan

"There’s no doubt that this cooking method does result in a much tastier cevapi meal as the bread is super tasty, having soaked up all the meat juices from the grill. This was a winner!"

Cindy Dam

"My guide book and almost everybody I knew agreed that Zeljo serves the best Cevapi, so good that 'if you have not eaten at Željo, you’ve never been to Sarajevo.'”

Bethany Currie

"No trip to Sarajevo’s most historic quarter can be complete without a taste of one of the country’s most authentic dishes, ćevapi. Zeljo is a local favourite offering this famous dish, and serves huge portions at excellent value for money; it is considered by many to serve the best ćevapi in the area."
