Came here with my family and the food was delicious and the service was very good. Would recommend if you’re feeling middle eastern cuisine in Banff.

We’ve just had an outstanding dinner at the Balkan in Banff! The Donair souvlaki was flavourful and tender. It’s accompaniment s - labneh, horiatiki, hummus, pickled onions and calamata olives! So good! For dessert we had the locally made pistachio ice cream with house made baklava! Our server was fabulous! Both the manager and the server made sure we lacked absolutely nothing and yet were unobtrusive. What a fabulous experience! I highly recommend!
Amazing food and service. Highly recommend the Greek fries, feta dip and steak souvlaki platter.

Belly dancing on Friday night.Appetizer hummus with pita bread could be better. They don’t make their bread. The chief needs to think about that. The quality of bread is bad.Please review the preparation of hummus. The chef needs to provide guidance to his team. It is not prepared properly. Too dry, it may be missing some oil and lemon.For main dish I had Souvlaki. I was surprised the kebab was ground meat and NOT pieces of lamb.For one time experience is fine. It’s not worth the money.

Service was nice but slow, food is massively over priced with slow portions but good taste, and halal food is not cooked separately from non-halal food

Food tasted amazing, definitely worth the cost. Restaurant was beautifully decorated and we had great service. We showed up at 4pm when they opened and had the place to ourselves. They do their shows on certain days but if you are looking for a nice place to get good food without the crowds I recommend going earlier in the day.

I really liked the food. I would recommend halloumi warm salad and add the prawns!!
Overall mediocre experience. We have the Greek feast for 2, pita & calamari & pegasus to drink. The drinks for $11 we definitely not worth the price. Calamari’s batter was falling apart & never gave us any lemon on the side. Our Greek feast was ordered first and it was okay but the vegetables were under cooked & for a minimum two to order($90), you’d expect it to feed us as it’s the “greek feast” we had to then order two addition items on the menu to fill myself and my bf.

Online menu different than in restaurant. Online promotions not honoured once at the restaurant. Server disappeared for nearly 30mins. Left after appetizer. Too bad because food was good. Never will go back.
