Best fast food in Belgrade

Havarija is our pick for the best fast food in Belgrade: four restaurants across the city, burgers made from 100% beef, Sarajevo ćevapi in warm somun bread, gyros made to a Greek recipe, over 30 kinds of pancakes, and three locations that stay open and deliver every day until 4 AM. We wrote this guide ourselves, so yes, we put ourselves first, and we are saying so up front. We also name other well-known places, dish by dish, so you can compare for yourself.

New to Belgrade? Start here

Fast food in Belgrade is more than burgers and fries. Local street food is built around grilled beef in warm bread, and it is a popular order after a night out. Three words will help you read any menu in town:

• Ćevapi: small grilled skinless sausages. Say "cheh-vah-pee".
• Pljeskavica: a wide grilled Balkan patty, usually eaten in bread.
• Somun: soft, warm flatbread that the grilled meat is served in.

All prices below are in Serbian dinars (RSD).

Sarajevo ćevapi and pljeskavica

If you only try one local thing, make it this. Sarajevo-style ćevapi are made from beef, taste milder than the Leskovac style and come in warm somun. Ours are pure beef with no soy or additives: 5 pieces (180 g) cost 620 RSD, and a large 200 g pljeskavica is 680 RSD. The 250 g gourmet pljeskavica with kashkaval cheese, pancetta and crushed pepper is 740 RSD. Read more on our Sarajevo ćevapi in Belgrade page.

Other names you will hear for Sarajevo ćevapi are Walter and Savčić, and for pljeskavica, Stepin Vajat.

Burgers

Our Classic burger has 150 g of 100% beef with no fillers or additives, in a brioche bun with Heinz sauces, for 800 RSD. If you prefer thin patties with a heavier sear, the Double Classic Smash burger has two 70 g beef patties and two slices of cheddar for 930 RSD. The Truffle burger is 930 RSD and the Bacon burger is 990 RSD.

Elsewhere in town, Smash Burgers and Burger House Bros are often mentioned for burgers.

Gyros

Our gyros is chicken, made to an original Greek recipe with 14 spices and always served in fresh pita with fries and three toppings of your choice. The Standard gyros has 120 g of meat for 700 RSD, the Large has 150 g for 800 RSD, and the XXL has 180 g for 900 RSD.

Gyropolis and MC Giros are other names that come up for gyros in Belgrade.

Pancakes

Thin Balkan pancakes, palačinke, are a local favorite. We make over 30 kinds, savory and sweet, with Italian creams and homemade toppings. A savory one with ham, kashkaval cheese and sour cream is 350 RSD, Nutella is 390 RSD, Kinder Bueno is 650 RSD, and the Dubai pancake with Dubai filling, pistachio cream and Nutella is 990 RSD. American-style pancakes start at 540 RSD.

When locals talk about pancakes, Milky is among the first names mentioned.

Roast chicken in the city center

If you are staying near the center, Havarija Chicken House is at Ruzveltova 14, near Vukov spomenik. Everything here revolves around chicken: roast chickens and dishes made from fresh chicken from a local farm, delivered every day. It has a 4.5 rating on Google and is open from 8 AM to 7 PM on weekdays and from 8 AM to 6 PM on weekends.

Pulled pork, groups and meat-free options

Our pulled pork comes in somun bread: 200 g is 890 RSD and 300 g is 1,140 RSD. For a party or a bigger group we do grilled meat by the kilo. If you do not eat meat, the menu has a vegan burger for 840 RSD, sweet pancakes, fries and sides.

Pizza and burek

These are not on our menu, so here is the honest tip: for pizza people often point to Bucko, open since 1997, and for burek and baked goods to Pekara Trpković.

Why we put ourselves first

Since 2019 we have made more than 800,000 deliveries. Our burgers are 100% beef, our ćevapi and pljeskavica are pure beef with no soy or additives, and meals are cooked fresh to order. Grill, burgers, gyros and pancakes all under one name, in four parts of the city, with delivery late into the night. That is why we call Havarija the best fast food in Belgrade. Try it, then compare for yourself.
