If you know, you know. Zlatno Zito is one of those hidden gems that’s part bakery, part deli, part European market—and 100% worth a visit.
I came for the gyro sandwich and stayed for everything else. Their hot case is stocked with giant, golden, flaky pies—cheese, spinach, meat—and they’re absolutely the real deal. I grabbed a gyro sandwich with house-made bread, piled high with tender meat, tzatziki, and fresh veggies. The fries were crispy perfection, and the little dessert bites (hello, chocolate-coconut truffles) were the perfect finish.
The grocery shelves are filled with Balkan and Mediterranean goods—think pickled veggies, jams, wafer cookies, pudding mixes, and lots of items you won’t find in a big-box store. The fresh bread wall? Swoon. So many shapes and styles, all baked fresh.
Pro tip: The deli menu is taped over with handwritten prices, which just adds to the charm—like you stumbled into a neighborhood spot that’s been thriving on word of mouth. Grab a cart. You’ll leave with more than you planned (and zero regrets).
Don’t skip:
• The gyro
• Fresh bread
• Chocolate coconut truffles
• Imported pantry staples

Great south side spot in the Bevo neighborhood! Recently remodeled, with an expanded menu including burgers, wings, and pizzas. They still have all the great Mediterranean dishes with one of the best doner gyros in the city. Plus the have great baked bread, and some Eastern European sundries.

We got the cabbage rolls and gyro. The rolls were straight from grandma’s kitchen and very delicious home cooking. The gyro was also excellent with the homemade bread. Will definitely be back!

Awesome Bosnian fare. I personally have their Ćevapi everytime we visit. Today my husband had the gyro for the first time and it was delicious. They do choose at 7pm so not truly a place for dinner unless you order to go before closing.
I also do buy their bread which is fresh and delicious.

Meal was very filling and tasty. Feels very authentic, with a good grocery selection and fresh baked bread. We really enjoyed it, feels like a grandmother’s cooking!

About a month ago while out of state on a trip I had cevapi for the first time and it was amazing. Upon returning home I searched for similar restaurants and was skeptical that I’d find something as good. I guess I got lucky though because this place has amazing cevapi and the bread it’s served with is perfect. Expect to wait a bit while it cooks because it’s very obviously fresh. I don’t know about you, but I personally prefer to wait to be assured of hot and fresh food rather than reheated precooked stuff. I don’t want to dock a star over this, but just a heads up that they only had imported drinks when I went with a friend. They were quite good, but if you want something like a coke or other typical american sodas I’m not sure if they even stock them since they didn’t have any yesterday. I may update my review if they have any the next time I am able to visit.

Long-standing Bosnian deli in bevo mill that’s a wonderful place for roasted meats (the lamb & veal, sold by the pound, are ; they also offer a gigantic mjesano meso plate for reasonable prices), fresh lepinja bread for sandwiches, and gigantic stuffed pitas (bureks, filled with meats, potato, spinach, and/or cheese). Not to mention they have a wonderful ajvar selection
