Definitely a gem up north! We stumbled upon this place which didn't look like much in from the front.. but when we entered we were amazed by the decor! We sat down and the server came up right away and gave us a menu, and she was very friendly about explaining what the food is about. My husband and I ordered a Balkan Mixed Plate with a side of salad that was perfect for two.. We also ordered a couple of Balkan margaritas. All I'm going to say is that this place is truly amazing. :) and the food tasted fantasitc!
LOVE THIS PLACE! Very friendly and welcoming owner who helped us first-timers order. We got the mixed meat platter and everything came out exactly as imagined! The pita bread was hot and baked so well and the meat was seasoned perfectly and tasted wonderful. It’s unlike anything else I’ve tried especially with the paprika sauce. Salad was also great too! Would definitely come back!
I was sharing some information about my time spent in the Balkans with a client, when he asked if I had been to the Balkan Cafe. I had not and planned to visit for lunch. Cevapi was all I thought of all morning! Such a great, inviting Cafe. The server was awesome! I ordered the Cevapi. It was great! They have a super menu with a variety of beverages. The outdoor space was set up nicely and a great spot for some Turkish coffee with dessert. I'll certainly go back!
Our first visit! We split the special mixed meat platter with hummus and salad. Fresh & tasty, great service and good happy hour drink prices. Plenty of parking & nice atmosphere. We'll be back!
My friends and I had a great dine in experience here! I ordered the Cevapi and shared it with friends. The burger and sandwich were delicious. The meat was well seasoned and cooked. The waitress was really cool, and the decor was fascinating.
A taste of home in Texas! My Ćevapi were tasty and well seasoned. Turkish coffee, like traditional and good rakija options. TiTo!
This place is a treasure serving up some of the best Turkish Coffee in Austin TX.
This place is a hidden gem. The restaurant itself seems to be a house re-purposed, and it's so adorable. Very small and intimate. Clean. Lots of neat decor everywhere. European vibes for sure. Our server, Z, was so ridiculously sweet and attentive. My friend thinks he's eye candy too, so that's always nice, right? We ordered tea and Dr. Pepper, and he put the drinks into the "tea" and "Dr. Pepper" branded cups. I honestly didn't even notice until my friend pointed it out, but it was such a small detail that was so cute in my opinion. Food was great. There's also outdoor seating and a volleyball net and Jenga out in the back. Really cool spot!
Tol;dr no yogurt??? 🙃
Came here mainly for the burek (with cheese) and shopska salata but ended up getting more cause the burek is relatively small and treated as an appetizer. The salad was great. So the burek was Ok (not like home sadly) but I was surprised there was no yogurt (it's not in the menu at all), they only had sour cream. The waiter told us multiple people have asked for it, so might be a worth investment. We also got the burger with fries, and palacinki as a dessert. The fries were nicely flavored (with paprika I think) and the palacinki were nice and filling.
The place itself is pretty cool, they play Serbian folk music in the background (narodna muzika).
I'd come back once there's yogurt
This place was phenomenal. I was missing Serbia quite a bit and was very excited to find a little slice of it here in Austin. Food is good, staff is good, drinks are good. They've even got rakija! It really allowed me to reminisce.
One of the places where people from the Balkans can find their favorite food and refresh their memories . This restaurant is not only about a food. You can meet nice people here and talk about the life in the USA and share memories about the place you or your parents were born. In case you ar 3rd or 4th generation in the USA you might feel nostalgia and wish to visit this part of Europe.
