Sarajevski Sahan · Sarajevo
Sarajevski sahan is the Bosnian sampler tray of five small dishes (cevapi, sogan-dolma, sarma, sarena pita, klepe) served on a copper-pressed plate. The canonical Sarajevo order for a first-time visitor.
The sahan format (Turkish 'sahan' meaning tray) developed in Sarajevo's restaurant scene through Habsburg-era and modern institutional restaurants like Inat Kuca (house moved 1895 to the opposite bank of the Miljacka river) and persists today as the visitor's introduction to Bosnian Sarajevo cooking. The five-dish format was codified in the late 20th century as a tasting plate for visitors landing at the Bascarsija sit-down restaurants.
