" The food is decent, but the service was frustratingly slow. We waited for an age to receive our meals, and when they arrived, they weren’t what we expected. The chicken kebabs lacked flavor, although the side dishes were alright. I might give this another shot, but it wasn't my best experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been a frequent visitor of Balkan Grill, and I’m never disappointed! Their assortment of dishes is delicious, especially the meze platter and burek. The flavors are always fresh and remind me of home. It’s also a great value for the quality of food. A solid choice for any meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went there hoping for a good meal but ended up being disappointed. The falafel was bland, and the atmosphere felt cramped. The staff did their best, but the food just wasn’t what I expected based on the reviews. I’d suggest they step up their game. " (*Curated Review*)

" Balkan Grill is a must-visit for anyone who enjoys rich, flavorful Balkan dishes! The cevapi were some of the best I've tasted outside my home country. I accompanied my dish with a side of homemade yogurt sauce, which added both flavor and moisture. The atmosphere felt authentic and warm, making it an enjoyable dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Balkan Grill has impressed me every time I’ve visited! From the delicious grilled meats to the fresh salads, it feels like a culinary escape to the Balkans.

" Just a delightful meal at Balkan Grill! The flavors reminded me of my grandmother’s cooking. Everything tasted fresh, from breads to meats. The staff was friendly and took time to chat with us. Definitely making this a regular spot when we're in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience! I had the chicken dibi and it was wonderfully marinated, served with rice and a fresh salad. The taste was exquisite! Plus, the staff was incredibly accommodating and friendly. This restaurant is definitely worth visiting if you're in town. I will be back! " (*Curated Review*)
