The food was delicious! The best food we have had in Sarajevo. Everything was fresh and so flavorful. We ordered the mixed grill, the arayef, the falafel and humus. Didn’t have the time to take a picture. Bonus: no alcohol and no coca cola here

If Sarajevo and Palestine had a delicious baby, it would be Nafaa Halal Restaurant. The menu is basically a passport stamp for your taste buds-Bosnian comfort with a Palestinian twist. The staff aren't just waiters, they're like food professors-dropping knowledge about spices and flavors like it's a TED Talk, but tastier. You can tell they genuinely love what they do, and that passion shows up in every bite. Pro tip: bring a friend so you can "share," but let's be real-you'll end up guarding your plate like it's the last piece of baklava on Earth. 10/10 would eat here again, and again, and again.

Visited this place on June 3rd after finding it through Google reviews, and I’m glad I did. I ordered the mixed grill, and the food was absolutely top-notch — flavorful, well-prepared, and satisfying. The staff were very polite and spoke good English, which made the experience even smoother. Another plus: there’s free parking available right behind the building. One thing I really appreciated was the air conditioning — it was working perfectly, which was a blessing given the scorching heat outside. Overall, a great spot for a delicious meal and a comfortable dining experience.

We visited Nafaa, a lovely Palestinian restaurant just a few km from the Old City, and honestly – what a beautiful experience. We had a rental car so getting there was no problem at all. The moment we walked in, we felt right at home – Makkah channel on the TV, a photo of the Dome of the Rock on the wall, just the perfect vibe. The owner came out to greet us with the biggest Salaam and the kindest smile. He was so friendly and welcoming, took time to go through the menu with us since we didn’t understand the language, and gave us some great recommendations for our family of 3. The food came out fresh, piping hot, and honestly tasted amazing – so full of flavour, clearly made with love, and beautifully presented on a wooden board. The portions were really generous too. We didn’t leave a single bite! Prices were really reasonable, and when you add the location, the atmosphere, and the food – it’s a must-visit. Highly, highly recommend. You won’t be disappointed!

The restaurant is super delicious! Honestly, their kibbeh is even better than the ones made by people who grew up making it!
