Great local spot. Bartenders are great and the regulars are very friendly as well.

Our friends have three adopted sons from Bulgaria, so we all wanted to meet for Bulgarian food. Balkanika did not disappoint; there were plenty of options for meat dishes, seafood, and vegetarian options. The portions were very generous; too much in some cases, but that allows for leftovers to go! One of our Bulgarian teen boys ordered the whole fish, and he ate the whole thing (except the eyeballs). The fish got his stamp of approval. The other teen boy had pizza, which he liked very well and shared with the rest of us. If I had any criticism, it would be wanting a bit more flavor, but perhaps culturally Bulgarian food is simply meat-forward, allowing the meats to speak for themselves. (I don't really know though; I'm guessing here.) Interestingly, one of the meals came with a sauce that looked like ketchup, but tasted different, in a good way. I want all ketchup to be Bulgarian now. That stuff could be bottled and sold, and it would make me very happy. The wait-staff was friendly and helpful to us, not like I read in some of the other reviews. The restaurant has a little snack store near the entrance, and one of the waitresses described things to us and helped us make our choices of treats to go (we wanted airplane snacks, since we were flying later). To sum up, Balkanika was a fun experience, with good food and generous portions.
It's a very friendly place.
