Absolutely appalling experience. Wait time 1 hour to get your starter which was a simple soup on the table. There was one other group in the restaurant at the time so I don’t understand the long wait time. Yes, the food is made from scratch but it wasn’t worth the wait really. The chef who is also a waiter was arrogant and unpleasant. Take your money elsewhere

Booking essential. Entered at 7.30pm. Empty but for one table with no reserved cards on tables, but told by an immensely rude man (owner/chef presumably) that it's not a fast food restaurant. Delighted to go spend money elsewhere.

You know that feeling, as a vegetarian, when you are waiting for a meal that illuminates your taste buds and pulls you in? Certainly, you won't get it here. So go and spend your money and time better, in a nicer place, with more pleasant service and most importantly with good food. This place has an ancient menu served by someone whose ego is higher than desire to present decent vegetarian/vegan cuisine.

I'll say in advance that for my experience I thought no more of it until I read another review describing the same thing, to which the owner called her a bad girl. Very few people call me a bad girl so make of this what you will. Apparently the chef is also the owner, waiter, and receptionist. Now, as a business model this is flawed. We walked in and sat for twenty minutes. No one approached us. There was no member of staff there. Literally not one. Going by how the customers were interacting with each other without the arrival of any food, I initially thought this was a street performance of Waiting for Godot. I'm told that the food is good but the restaurant takes license to be rude on the grounds that the chef is some sort of reclusive genius. So word of advice: make a reservation and then don't show up.

Absolute gem if you are a vegetarian in Bosnia. Incredible falafel and amazing prices. We came for multiple meals. I wasn’t a huge fan of the fetta hummus but everything else was amazing

The food was good. Massively let down by the owners arrogance and interpersonal skills. Wait time 2 hours and 5 minutes for 1 soup, 1 sushi and 2 mains. Going for a meal is an experience, not just a flavor. If you plan to eat here give yourself 3 hours - the group who entered at 9pm had nothing on the table when we left at 10.05pm.

I came without a reservation, as I didn't know it was mandatory. Judging by other comments, the food is probably very good, however I got turned down in such a rude way I don't feel like trying it anymore. The owner asked me to leave, as "this was not a fast food place" and told me I could try later. I didn't even have the time to open my mouth and ask if I could make a reservation for the next day. Awful exeprience.

I have travelled across many countries, the falafel I had here one of the best so. Its bit small in size. But the best falafel. I literally ordered second plate. Must try for all.

The location is excellent right in the middle of Baščaršija, service and atmosphere are very good, food is ok, price is bit high

O M G!! Absolutely the best bread I’ve ever had! Soft, fluffy and perfect! Everything else is outstanding too! Very friendly and service is fantastic. I’ve been 3 times in 3 days. Do not miss it!

10/10. Probably the best Falafel spot in whole Sarajevo! I would recommend a visit if you are vegetarian, even if you aren’t!

An okay place. You'll appreciate it more if you're vegetarian. Found the falafel sandwiches dry- they would have done well with some hummus inside. Instead, they had a lot of cabbage, which marred the taste. Had to order a sauce on the side separately.

This restaurant is a true gem, the food is outstanding. I had two wonderful meals there during my three evenings in Sarajevo, the first evening it wasn't possible unfortunately as my travel companion and I had no reservation. When you enter without a reservation simply ask in a respectful way if it is possible to eat there or else if you can make a reservation. The chef/owner (Sasha) is a true kitchen wizzard. Also a very intelligent man with a strong personality running a busy schedule, some reviewers seem to have a problem with that. When you have the patience to wait for an à-la-carte meal then you're likely to have an awesome culinary experience. Sasha is also the author of the first Vegetarian book in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

This restaurant is a must go if you a vegetarian visiting Sarajevo. Will you taste the best vegetarian food you've ever had? Most likely not. But to experience the place itself with pictures of its eccentric owner/waiter/chef on the walls while you are waiting for the food to be made is something you are not likely to forget and it will definitely spark plenty of stories to tell. At the end of the day, that is what travelling is about.

We LOVE this restaurant!!! We came here 5 days in a row while we were in Sarajevo, sometimes twice a day. The falafel is excellent and the salads are delicious and so healthy. The staff are also amazing and so friendly. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone!!

I would love to visit this place but unfortunately the staff is extremely rude, I called for reservation they hung up the phone several times. And after all that they called me a liar on the reply of this post.

don't judge based on the low reviews. he prefers reservations and food takes time to come out because he's the only staff and he very meticulously cooks everything from scratch. be kind to him, and he'll be kind to you. I had broccoli soup and chilli with homemade (!!) seitan + the best raki I've tasted. hvala sasha!

CAUTION! You have to make a reservation! Or else you will get turned down! The menu is a perfect selection of all types of vegetarian/vegan food. Extensive menu made up of healthy food and drinks. You might have to be a little patient with the guy (he can be a little much) and for your food. But worth it all!

Middle-eastern style restaurant! Very friendly staff, with a nice selection of mediterranean cuisine. The best place to sit is upstairs because its more spacious and less mosquitoes are up there than outside. They try their best to make falafel, hummus, and fatteh as close as they can to the originals but they still lack the taste and the chickpeas are not cooked enough. The eggplant meal as well as the fries were hot and delicious though!

Best vegetarian/ vegan restaurant in old town. Clean place. I had falafel wrap which was fulfilling and tasty.

(Translated by Google) The best restaurant in the world. Believe me! The only restaurant where the chef cooks just for you, as if you came to his house. Each dish is prepared with so much love that you really feel that love in food as well. Worth coming to Sarajevo just to eat here. All praise for Sasha and let it go on!

The only vegetarian and smoke free restaurant

Came by at 14:00, definitely wasn't open. Oh well.

(Translated by Google) Superb cuisine and an extraordinary experience. Thank you Mr. Sasa! (Original) Vrhunska kuhinja i nesvakidašnji doživljalj. Hvala gosp. Saša!

Pleasant place, friendly staff, ready to give advice. Delicious vegan offer at restaurant level.

We had dinner here twice, the service was quick and always with a smile. Food is good, especially the falafel, fresh and tasty. A very nice option in the Old Town.

Many options on the menu, tried a handful and all delicious. A favorite was the fava bean soup! Great prices, kind servers, would definitely recommend. Also great location in the heart of old town. We spent a total of 37 KM - more than enough food for two people.

Gluten Free falafel was the best falafel I have ever had! The humus and salad that came with it were very delicious as well. The waitress and cooks were quite friendly. Can pay by card as well

We were looking for vegetarian food in Bosnia and found this place where we had dinner and had to wait a little bit more than normal because they were very busy. Next day we went there for lunch and they gave us some snack for waiting the previous day. The service and the food couldn’t be better. Totally recommended!!

Excellent food the best I tried in Sarajevo the food was fresh and made to preffictions, perhaps the service was a bit slow but was worth waiting for it. We were surprised to have received an excellent quality I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good bite, infect I'm going again tomorrow.

Really tasty food that reminded me of the recipe of my Lebanese aunt. The only thing better than the food was the service and cozy atmosphere - the owner and the waiter were really hospitable and generous. A must visit if you are in Sarajevo! Also a great option if you are vegan/vegetarian. :)

Fantastic food and very pleasant stuff. In the ocean of cevapi and other meat specialitise this was real refreshment.For all vegans and vegetarians visiting Sarajevo this place is real heaven.Highly reccomend.

Best falafel in town! I come here so often and order from them, perfect every time. I especially like that they added avocado wrap. Great quality and reasonably priced. Fresh and healthy food that is much needed in Sarajevo.

Lovely small restaurant, very cute in the inside. Friendly girl working there 😁 We loved the food, really enjoyed it. Came in on a hot day, was so nice to sit and enjoy good food with air-conditioning in the background. Would come back definitely if I'm back in the city.

I had a pleasant experience. The food was simple yet well-executed, and I particularly appreciated the friendly waiter. As a delightful surprise, I received a complimentary Turkish tea. If I had one recommendation, it would be to add a touch more acidity to the dishes, perhaps by offering more lemon slices. The food was undeniably fresh, and the service was impressively fast. I'll definitely return and would highly recommend this restaurant to others.

The restaurant is always busy and in a busy location. Only a few seats outside and inside. There are many options. The food came out quickly. It would have been better with more salt. The service itself was a bit absent - it took a while for someone to take away dirty plates, to take our order and to ask for the bill.

I’ve tried a Mix Meal and a soup, that’s was tasty! Thank you for a vegan options. 🙏

One of the few places in Sarajevo where you can get vegan food. The portions are quite big and they offer different falafel dishes, which are quite tasty. They also offer takeout, and since the place is very small, it is a better option than dine-in for bigger groups.

4.5 stars Falafel Restaurant is a small, cozy cafe in Sarajevo’s old town offering a completely vegan menu of Middle Eastern eats. The specialty is, of course, falafel, and the Extra Mini Mix Meal came with the small, herbaceous chickpea fritters; foul mudammas (fava bean stew); hummus; and mixed salad; along with an airy, fluffy flatbread on the side. Though not the best hummus and falafel I’ve had, everything was tasty and came at a good value, and this small, locally-run business was super friendly too!

The falafel is soo good.. I ordered falafel meal , it comes with salad,hummus,french fries and bread .. bread was cold but still soft , definitely will come again because their falafel was delicious

The best vegan restaurant I have been to. Outstanding food and the chef is lovely. So good we went two nights in a row! (Remember to book!)

If you're reaching a point where you need a break from the meat-heavy Balkan cuisin, this is the perfect place to go. The menu is fully veggie with lots of vegan options and the food is really good. It's a nice little family run place in a side alley of the busy bazaar street right in the center of old town. Don't miss it when visiting Sarajevo!

Such a gem! We had read about this place and heard good things, especially for vegan/vegetarian options. We sat upstairs and there were a bunch of travellers eating there, we got carried away chatting and chatting while we enjoyed the great food! We sat up there so long, the girl working there just kept bringing us complimentary items. Little salads/ tea and even fresh squeezed juice for our son! Really the level of hospitality she showed us was such a breath of fresh air, as the level of service in this country is not what we are accustomed to (lacking). Very recommended!

Food was great quality and really tasty. We chose a few dishes from the wide variety they offer (as far as we could tell everything was vegetarian - I think a lot is vegan as well but maybe ask the welcoming staff to double check). We had a little bit of a wait, so maybe prepare for that in the evening (of course we don't know if this is usual, but staff was very nice and apologetic about it and it was not a problem for us). Definite recommendation, especially but not exclusively for vegetarians.

Food was really good, was glad to see soo many vegetarian options!

Really delicious food and kind of a hidden gem close but also tucked away from the crazy busy area. Really friendly staff too

A really cool vegan place in Sarajevo with a big choice of falafel food of all sorts. All the dishes are yummy and original. I really liked their salads.

The falafel are amasingly delicious, have never seen such excellent quality falafel. The rest of the food is below average, the service amasing and friendly so they still get a 5 star. Should improve mutabal, humus, fatouh...

One of the best falafel restaurants I have seen. The food is excellent and the service is great. Even though the restaurant size is modest but the menu selection is big and can meet any taste.

Great service, tried falafel for the first time and loved it. Reasonable price, 10KM for this, I think the portion is enough for two girls. Would definitely come back.

The food is delicious! Best falafels I’ve eaten and the service is good. Would highly recommend.

Kind and friendly staff, fresh and good food, I highly recommend this place for all people not only vegans.

The falafel is fine. The seats on the second floor are suitable for coffee or desert, but not for eating.

Lovely place, amazing chef and food from a different dimension, a must go for everyone visiting Sarajevo who enjoy great food. All recommendations for this place.

Fantastic food. Flavorful, fresh and inspiring. Reservation is a must. Don't be discouraged by the waiting time. Plan your evening, chill and wait for an exceptional meal. You will love it.

Amazing vegan and vegetarian food. Everybody should try some dish here. Its so much worth giving meal without meat a shot. I never imagined these vegan meals can be so delicious. Chef definitly deserves a Michelin star.

Good. Tasty. Simple. Affordable.

Nice place.

Was visiting on a Monday December evening, 20 past nine and was gently advised to leave the premises, because “This is not a fast-food restaurant. You need to have a reservation. You can reserve a table online or with phone”. Three out of seven tables were taken. Sure. If you do not want money or happy customers, fine. P.s. odjebi :)

Amazing little gem in Sarajevo! My girlfriend is vegan and it's really hard for her to find food for her in Sarajevo. Then she found this restaurant online and we couldn't wait to visit. It was amazing. Our first time was with another couple that have never tried vegan food and even they thought it was amazing. The food was freshly made and worth the wait cause it's made from scratch. While we waited we drank some excellent white whine and rakija. The owner/cheff was really nice to us and gave us a really nice and cozy experiance. I recommend Karuzo to everyone who has a chance to go to Sarajevo, especially vegans and vegetarians. They also have al lot of seafood which is great for people who do eat meat. We will go there now every time we visit Sarajevo!

This is not just food... this is pure art! Such creative compositions of food. We can not understand any bad review neither on the place nor the owner!

Fantastic experience. Cosy restaurant and superb food. It's the healthy, hearty bowl of food you've always dreamed of getting at a restaurant, served by the chef himself. Highly recommended, though book in advance so as not to be disappointed.

Intimate place with home atmosphere. You get amazing, tasty and freshly prepared vegetarian and vegan food. You are served by chef who is amazing.

A beautiful little vegetarian and vegan restaurant with some amazing dishes. The owner and chef, Sasa, puts pride, passion and a wealth of experience into his food, giving you the chance to trial a diverse selection of dishes.

One of the best curries I’ve ever had. Pumpkin coconut curry bowl. The owner is amazing. He puts a lot of time and attention into each dish.

Healthy, for vegetarians, for vegans and for fish lovers. Saša, the owner and chef is very charismatic and interesting. This is the first vegetarian restaurant in Bosnia.

Absolutely delicious vegetarian food. Make a reservation before coming.

Even though the food was very tasty, we were surprised by the pictures on the menu. We ordered the fatus falefelom. On the picture on the menu it has 10 pieces of falafel on it, but in reality the plate only had 5 pieces, and we had to pay extra for extra falafel. I feel like this was misleading, and should be changed. Except from that the service wasn't bad, and the food was very good.

The best falafel ever, Staff behavior is very nice

Go to the second floor there is a soft cozy couch along the wall. Nice and comfy. Not a big fan of this type of food but it was tasteful.

This place is delicious!!!! The hummus is spot on. It’s silky and has the perfect flavor balance. The falafel is moist and delicious. They serve you bread that I would buy every day if possible. Also the service and food was super speedy. The prices were great plus they have quite a few small dishes and salads so you can try a lot. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Very friendly and delicious! Secret star of the meal was simply the bread:)

Good choice for the vegan community. The con is that almost every single dish is composed by the falafel and tahini sauce. It was good and I recommend.

Quirky. Not immediately obvious on even how to enter the place! Amazing food and desserts. Make a reservation beforehand.

Amazing vegetarian/vegan food and friendly service! Very unique place. Vegan mushroom risotto was the best I've ever had!

Good, healthy break from the endless barrage of meat. Falafel sandwich was perfect for a grab and go option. Sweet, welcoming smiles from the staff.

AMAZINGLY tasty food (even if you're not a vegetarian). The owner/chef is a real magician in the kitchen, but also a delightful and super friendly host. Be sure to reserve a table, as without it there is a high chance you won't be able to be served.

Really great food. Loved it. Will definitely go back before I leave Sarajevo!!

The best lasagna I ever had turned out to be a vegan one

Lovely experience! The owners are so nice and the food was good!

Fantastic food, atmosphere and vibe. A must stop in Sarajevo.

(Translated by Google) The restaurant is very cozy and the owner is nice. Vegetarian cuisine prepared with love. If you enter in a hurry and there is already a customer inside, the owner tells you that there is no place and that you have to make a reservation (Original) El restaurante es muy acogedor y el dueño es agradable.

Wonderful, delicious, 10/10 would go again. Tip: make a reservation before.
