If you love a meat sandwich, this is for you. My wife and I shared a medium sandwich and we were stuffed. Little beef sausages stuffed in the most delicious bun with red sauce and onions and cheese. Saw it on Somebody feed Phil and we knew we had to have it. Absolutely delicious. Cash only!! What a great place! Food was good and quick. Meat was tender, the sauces were flavorful, but the bread was amazing! So fluffy and tasty. Along with the food, service is quick and very attentive. Staff, especially the woman behind the desk, was happy, joking with customers and all smiles. Definitely make this one of your stops while in Split. Cevapi is life. Cevapi is love. Cevapi is the best. I ended up eating lunch here several times and still can't get enough. Get yours with all the fixings and eat it on the bench outside. Wonderful sandwich. No notes. I want more.

I might consider moving to split just to eat here everyday. Get the full cevapi beef special with the red (ajvar) and white (kajmak) sauces and onions. The bread is so soft and tastes buttery. A must visit in split

Never had a sandwich like this before. The bread was soft and not chewy at all. The meat tasted of high quality and overall, a very delicious sandwich for lunch. Recommend if you want something than a focaccia which many shops sell in the old town.
