Hindin Han

Hindin Han is a traditional Bosnian restaurant at Sarači 51 in the old town of Sarajevo, Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, on the main pedestrian street of the Baščaršija bazaar. Like other places on the street that carry the word han in their names, it draws on the idea of the Ottoman inn, and the interior is arranged in a traditional style with wood, carpets and folk decoration. The kitchen is known for Bosnian grill dishes and soups served in a relaxed, mid-priced setting. Two dishes are named in the listing: begova čorba, a creamy chicken and vegetable soup finished with okra and lemon, at about BAM 8, and sahan ćevapi, ćevapi served on a metal dish with vegetables and sides rather than in bread, at about BAM 22. Begova čorba, literally the bey's soup, is considered a classic of Bosnian cuisine and is a good first dish for visitors who want to understand the local style. The menu also typically includes grilled meats, stuffed vegetables and Bosnian desserts such as baklava. The atmosphere is lively, particularly in the evening, with a mix of tourists and residents. Noise levels are moderate to high when the room is full, and there is no dress code. Drinks include Bosnian coffee, beer, local brandy and a small selection of regional wines. Reservations are recommended at weekends and in the busy summer season, though walk-in tables are usually available at lunch. The restaurant is open daily from about 11:00 to 23:00. Its central address makes it a convenient place for lunch or dinner after exploring the bazaar, the Gazi Husrev-beg mosque and the nearby Sebilj fountain.
