Reviews Summary
Inat Kuca is highly praised for its delicious and authentic Bosnian cuisine, served in a charming, historic 'Spite House' setting. Visitors love the unique ambiance and friendly service, though some note potential wait times for orders and the cash-only policy. A few guests with allergies mentioned the resident cats.
"5 stars for delicious authentic Bosnian cuisine. And the serving staff is really friendly.
Nothing against cats, just that I am allergic to them and there were 2 roaming about and the black one jumped onto the bench and tried to eat something.
A pity because I wanted to go back and try the spinach and cheese pies and desserts."

"The history of the restaurant is impressionable, the ambiance is so nice, so authentic specially indoor. The food is great, we tried different things, all were delicious.
The only negative thing is the long time that you have to wait for someone to come to take your order."
