Zhabar BBQ Restaurant — Restaurant in Municipality of Centar

Do not go if you are not a local. If you are a tourist they will try to scam you. This is the worst experience we have had in the entirety of Balkans in years.

owner kept talking at us trying to sell us dishes we didn’t want

told us the dishes we want are not available, we ordered available ones, he kept telling us he’ll make us a mix of more meats for the price of 2 meat dishes

we said okay so we could be done with ordering

asked us if we want fries with it

we said yes cause it said on the menu that it comes with fries

gave us and charged us for an extra portion of fries

fries came out 20 minutes before other food, extremely long wait for the food

half of the meat came out almost cold

the food was okay at best, nothing special

at the end they charged us for bread we did not have and 3 meat dishes

we told the waiter we just ordered 2 and that the boss insisted he’ll make us a mix of different things for the price of 2 dishes, he just said “you had 3 dishes”

we told him we did not know we had 3 (they all came on 1 platter so impossible to tell that it was 3 separate things) and he just said “but you had it”

we decided not to argue over 200 denari and said to just deduct the bread we did not get

gave him the money and waited for good 3 minutes to get the change back

the waiter gave us back change without deducting the cost of bread we did not get. Told him that, waited another 3 minutes to get correct change

Overall...

Nice restaurant next to the river. They do not have a menu card, but the kind waiter can explain and advise perfectly! The meat rolls (cevapcici) tasted the best in whole Skopje! Delicious with onions, bread and beer. Big fresh salad. The receipt gives you an idea of the prices. The receipt from top to bottom: Espresso 60 mkd per cup, meat rolls (cevapcici) 22 mkd per piece, bread 30 mkd per piece, big salad with cheese 200 mkd and beer (Skopsko) 100 mkd per bottle. Very reasonable priced and high quality food and service. Highly recommend to eat...

History is all around this place. From the first president to the primeminister and dignitaries from around the world. It’s situated next to the goverment building on the bank of the river vardar few steps from the coty center and the city park. Great barbique and different dishes you can beat the prices. Cheap and deliciouse. If you are hungry and Don’t care how the place looks, then give it a try. Its a 60/70 stile caffe/restaurant and all is unique and original like...
