Restaurant Sarajevo

We came to the restaurant before a late show at the Old Town School. I had heard about it on Check Please and my hubby's p's came over from Croatia in the 60's. I've had many a meal at mom-in-law's house. We also went to Dalmatia 2 years ago and actually dined in Bosnia, while passing thru their small stretch of coastline.
I'd have to say that the food is spot-on and authentic as can be. There were 4 of us and we had this enormous platter that our server suggested, since he wanted us to try all the different meats that they had to offer. It had everything from a lamb shank to grilled calamari to 2 types of chicken and 2 more types of beef and some sausage--with all the trimmings: potatoes, breads, veggies.... Wow! We left in a meat coma! The prices were super-reasonable too. I think he charged us for 4 entrees, which came to around 70 bucks for the main dish.  
I highly recommend that feta salad! We also loved the chef's homemade bread and kajmak. YUM. Chef wouldn't tell me what's in it. (boo hiss!) We had strudel for dessert. It was very different from hubby's mom's, but it was stellar none the less.
All in all, I'd love to go back, but probably not before a late (very laid back) concert, when it's hard enough to stay awake!

I'll be back - said in my most Schwarzenegger/Terminator like voice (which sounds nothing like either). And the only reason I haven't given 5 stars was because we really didn't try much here - if it were solely based upon the service, coffee and dessert - 5 stars all the way!

After dining at the place where we had our first date, I was craving Turkish coffee, so we headed over to another restaurant we liked - where we were told they would not seat us for coffee and dessert. So I Googled, looking for another place that would happily serve us coffee and dessert...I came upon Restaurant Sarajevo, not exactly the same but we figured we'd give it a try.

Though the sign still said open, when we got inside, it was obvious they were close to closing but the charming man who greeted us had no problems letting us sit for about 15 or 20 minutes to have a cup of Bosnian coffee and their "apple pie" - which is far more delicious than most traditional apple pies I've had - filo dough and nuts, like an apple baklava, yum! And that coffee - oh my, the coffee!

He chatted with us for a few minutes, graciously served us our coffee and dessert. He continued closing up the place but not hurrying us. And we didn't linger - though the atmosphere was warm and inviting. He promptly brought us our check when we were obviously finished and pointed out menus we could take with us.

We will most certainly be returning.

** Update **

We decided to stop in here for dinner on a frigid February evening and we couldn't have been more pleased - from the staff to the food to the warmth, everything was perfect. It's got great comfort-type food and service is friendly and funny.

Truly a pleasure to dine here.

It is a very cozy and homey restaurant. We ordered a Bosnian Cheese appetizer and calamari and both were super delicious and fresh. I ordered a veal kabob and it came with rice and an amazing side of potatoes. The only thing that was difficult for me is that they don't serve a sauce with the dishes which is not horrible but I enjoy my meat with a side of sauce to dip in. I would recommend this place if you want a different experience and something very cultural.
