Best schnitzel in town. Also that lungić is pretty addictive. Definetly give a try. You can't go wrong with pri kalju Service is also very friendly and fast. But be aware it might be tricky to find a table.

Amazing food! Delicious! One of the best places for ćevapi. And pljeskavica. And punjena vješalica. And everything else is also delicious. Baked potatoes and fries are also one of the best we've had! They have good beer also. If you don't believe it, you must come and try! We go there regularly! A family-owned local place. Expect it to be crowded during lunch time, obviously.

The best mince meat with kajmak I have ever had. Portions are huge and every bite is tasty. The service is great too.

Absolutely the Best Barbecue in Zagreb! I had the pleasure of eating at Pris Krajilu in Zagreb, and as an African who knows and truly appreciates good barbecue, I can confidently say this was one of the best barbecue experiences I’ve ever had. The meat was perfectly grilled—juicy, flavorful, and tender, with just the right amount of smokiness. What stood out just as much as the food was the service. The staff were incredibly warm, welcoming, and attentive from the moment I walked in. It felt like more than just a meal; it was a genuinely enjoyable experience. If you're in Zagreb and love barbecue, Pris Krajilu is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be going back!
