    Really tasty balkan food. Size of portions was OK, if you are really hungry, you might not find it enough, but it is quite cheap compared to neighbour restaurants, without a drink and kajmak, it will start from 6.6€ onwards. Usually not crowded.

    Terrible food, by far the worst choice in Ljubljana to have some genuine Balkan food. Čevapčiči were OK, everything else (roasted peppers, prebranac, burek) was hardly edible. Roasted peppers had all their skin on and could not be peeled, burek was the same as the one you get at the frozen foods section in your average supermarket. Go elsewhere, there are plenty other options.

    One of the best ćevapčići I have ever eaten. Sanel is the most friendly and attentive person making an amazing experience, here it doesn't seem you are eating in a shopping mall restaurant

👍👍 Very good burgers, one of the best in Slovenia. Also chicken wings were great. House beer was OK. Prices are very expensive, burger was 12,9€ and beer 4,9€. These are 30% higher rates then usual Slovenian burger places, but I suppose they can keep it due to location in city center. Stuff is very fri...
