Staff were friendly, burek is fresh/warm/flaky/savoury/delicious, and the combo plate with 2 different sausages was amazing (I like the small cevapi sausage more than the longer smoked veal sausage)

Bought salami and mustard.
If you go to the back of the deli there’s usually 2 grandmas cheffing it up. Their food is amazing. You’ll get a typical Eastern European experience, we can be very direct lol.
I definitely recommend the Burek, the chevapi, and if they have zelnik. It’s to die for. Oh and get some kajmak for home, it’s better than any cream cheese at the grocery stores.

At least 30% higher prices than other Euro delis. I dont know what they are thinking.
Nice service though.

I ordered the mousaka. It lacked flavor,had no eggplant,onions or any veggies. There was no bechaml sauce. Furthermore it contained only potatoes and one tasteless tbsp.of fried beef. The worst part was it cost 10.00! What a waste of money! Definitely not a repeat;( will not return here again.

My first experience with Balkan-style meat was at a family friend's wedding, when I asked: "What is this delicious meat?" And the answer was: "Ćevapčići" (minced meat kebabs). When MAK European Delicatessens opened its doors in 2002, this became my go-to place for: tasty meat (ćevapi, pljeskavica, sudžukice), kajmak (Balkan cream cheese), burek (filo pies stuffed with meat, cheese or spinach), ajvar (roasted red peppers sauce), and mineral waters of the former Yugoslavia... even after moving away from the neighbourhood.
While revisiting the neighbourhood recently, it was a joy to stop in for a burek and re-live the old sights, sounds and aromas of the delicatessen and grill. I enjoyed the meat burek (beef). The meaty filling had a judicious amount of onion and spice, though the filo pastry was a bit soft (I like the exterior a bit more crunchy). Pleasantly filling. All in all, a really tasty burek. The interior dining area was more colourful and vibrant than I had remembered it - happy to see that the present is even better than the nostalgic past.
MAK European Delicatessens is probably the best Balkan deli in the eastern part of Toronto - great selection of Balkan meats, sweets and treats to be had. With a bottle of Pelisterka / Пелистерка mineral water in hand, it was time to continue my journey.

Burek was amazing! Great variety of products and fresh meat. Was also positively surprised with selection of dried/cured/smoked beef and sausages which you cannot find in most (if any) stores in Toronto. Staff is very friendly and had amazing chat with everyone!
Will be coming back for sure!
