The grill rolls out ćevapi and pljeskavica off the lešo plate, chicken thighs and pork neck steaks, plus burek, lepinje stuffed with cheese, and a rotation of sides like ajvar, urnebes and pickled peppers.

Most orders go counter-style, eaten standing at the high tables or carried home in foil and paper. Portions land closer to traditional Balkan street sizing than the smaller plates served in tourist-facing rooms downtown, which is what brings the regulars back through the same doors most evenings of the week.
