Historia

STORY

The white façade of Jaki Grill with its sign, flower boxes and a barrel of flowers by the door
An old wine barrel between tables, with framed black-and-white portraits on the brick and plaster walls

Jaki Grill has been cooking on Gjon Nikollë Kazazi street in Gjakova since 2002. Behind a white façade with flower boxes and a barrel by the door, the room is brick, dark wood and black-and-white photographs. The menu is built around the grill: qebapa and qofte by the piece, veal and pork from the counter, and pork specialities you rarely find elsewhere in Kosovo. Guests talk about the atmosphere, the kind staff and the salads, and one regular has been coming back for at least fifteen years.

THE GRILL

The open counter at Jaki Grill: a lit glass case of fresh meat, stacked plates and the kitchen behind

Everything starts at the open counter. The day's cuts wait in the glass case, the kitchen works in full view, and plates leave the grill with bread from the basket, roasted peppers and a board of house sauces. Order a few qebapa for the table, a veal fillet with herb butter, a Shopska salad on the side and a Jack's craft beer to go with it.
