My husband and I dine here at least 2–3 times a month, and it never disappoints. We’ve eaten at Balkan restaurants all over New York, New Jersey, and across the country—and this is, without question, the best of them all.
The ćevapi, burek, and embelsira are unmatched. Every dish is consistently perfect. I choose this restaurant every single time.
As an Albanian, I can confidently say this is the best Balkan food in the United States. Forever a favorite. Thanks for bringing a taste of home to us!

Our first time experiencing Slavic cuisine and while we weren’t disappointed at all, we would have to say the food needed a bit more seasoning for our taste. The small 5pcs Cevapi “Beef Kabobs” were good and the portions were great for the price. Also if you’re thinking about ordering the “Cabbage Salad” please note: It’s just shredded white cabbage with vinegar and nothing else. We did appreciate our server for explaining the menu to us and being attentive. We will certainly be back for more of the Burek too which was also good.

Always delicious and people who work there are great.
This is THE BEST balkan food I ever had in USA! And I can tell you I tried a lot balkan restaurants and places around USA. Pljeskavica, salads and desserts are truly balkan made way. Freshness and good quality ingredients that you can taste actually! Good job guys! I hope I will be soon back, greetings from Florida travelers!
I’ve lived in the NYC area for 40 years and have eaten burek all over. This is hands down best burek you can have. Burek with meat family pie is the go to.

I recently visited Balkan Café and really enjoyed the experience overall. The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The only downside is that the atmosphere inside can get quite loud, as many diners are very lively. If you’re looking for a quiet, relaxing spot, this may not be the best choice,but if you don’t mind some noise and want great food with warm service, it’s definitely worth a visit.
