Šišćevap Podgorica

Great Oriental fast food

""Šišćevap" Podgorica is a great restaurant to have Šiš ćevap, a Turkish speciality that's very popular around here, too! I like how they make it hot here."

Montenegro is a multi-ethnic and multi-religious society, with a rich history of many different peoples and foods. As Turkish influence was prevalent for almost 300 years, that influence was also carried over onto Montenegrin cuisine. That's why you'll find a lot of places serving so-called Balkan food, which takes a lot of inspiration from the colorful Turkish cuisine, and this place is no different.

Šiš ćevap is a popular dish, or to be more precise a (homemade) sandwich with minced meat sausages, which are delicately put on sticks. However, in this fast food shop they give it a little twist, where the meat is the same, but prepared together to form an almost rectangular-like patty. But, the style or way of presentation doesn't really matter, as this dish has a very delicious taste, which you can enhance with the large variety of sides.

I prefer it to be as spicy and hot as possible, and I have to say that šiš ćevap is even better if it has a hot nuance. And, of course, this is great comfort food, especially after a night out.

They have also a wide choice of more conventional meals like sandwiches and grilled meat, but you won't go wrong if you just take the main dish.

Dash of socialism

Podgorica is getting more and more modern each and every day. But there are still places where you can find socialist buildings. I love those buildings...
