About Chevap

Chevap is a Croatian street food concept founded by chef Duje Pisac, specialising in premium halal grilled meat and authentic Balkan flavours.

Following the development of its Croatian estate, Chevap is pursuing international expansion and exhibited at London’s International Franchise Show in April 2026. Franchise opportunities include individual restaurants and master franchise agreements granting exclusive development rights across a country or region.
