Review Balkan Grill - Alexandria

I stop by there for lunch and omg the food is very delicious. The food that is called musakka I was recommended to get it by their very friendly cashier was great and loved it. I can’t wait to go back there. Very friendly people too. Highly recommended.

The place is simply amazing. The service is fast and the food is very tasty. I ordered bosnian burger and doner platter. The burger was very juicy and the bread was absolutely fresh and warm. Doner(Gyro) was well sliced and spreaded on the rice so rice gets the doner juice which makes the whole platter increadibly tasty. It was the best around so far. I havent had any kabob near by this tasty. I was very pleased to go there. You should definitely try their exceptional food. Highly recommended.

I randomly decided to give this place a try after leaving the nail salon next door and after seeing a good rating I wandered in and picked something off the menu that is similar to other dishes I have had (chicken shish kebab) and patiently waited for my food which took just shy of 15 minutes. The first thing I noticed was how clean everything was, even down to behind the counter and the freezer they keep additional food in. All very neat and orderly. The staff was nice offered me two house made sauces to go along with my food when I asked for sauce but had no idea what to ask for. I was immediately impressed with how neatly the food was packed and surprised to find that my dish and side salad was separately packaged and it was clearly done so to keep the freshness and flavor of the food in mind also cleanliness. The salad was INCREDIBLY fresh and had an amazing flavor. I was surprised assuming it was just a container of fresh veggies and instead a beautifully made salad. The rice and chicken kebab tasted beautiful if you could ever describe a plate of food that way. I love the fact that it tasted fresh and home cooked. A person who is not a foodie like myself might say it tastes “normal” however I know the benefit of food that has a fresh, natural, home cooked taste rather than something over seasoned and overdone in the hopes to over prove how “Mediterranean” it is. The meal I got from here even though so simple made me feel like I was at a quaint restaurant in the Mediterranean and was so simply executed that it was PERFECTION. I am glad to say there isn’t a single morsel of food left and I can’t wait to try more from here in the future!

Amazing people with vibrant and warmth that is unique to Balkan and Mediterranian Culture. Yazid from Cairo, Hasan with his mother from Turkey and others from Turkey and Yogaslavia make this place almost a visit to the countries. The schnitzel, doner kebab, falafel were outstanding. Hummus was buttery, light along with the Turkish tea came on top of our list. Everything is salted lightly unlike the oversalted American fare.. will continue to be on repeat list even if its a little far.

We ordered online our order turned out to be the biggest disappointment of Middle Eastern food. The Kebab platter was awful there was no taste to it. The rice was super sticky. Salad you call that a fresh salad the leaves had brownish edges the salad did not appeared fresh at all. The Bosnian burger had no taste whatsoever the bread was really dry. The wait for the order was horrific the poor delivery driver had to contact us and apologize for the delay because the time for the food kept getting pushed back 55 min wait unacceptable. You lost our business plenty better restaurants of Middle Eastern food out in Virginia.

DELICIOUS and worth the wait! I was very shocked at how yummy a simple sandwich could be. And the portions are huge! Based on all of the other customers sitting and eating, I’d say this place is definitely a win! Highly recommend!

I'd never had Cevapcici before but I loved the idea of a "burger" made with little kebabs nestled within a housemade lepinja bread, served with kajmak spread (which made me think of a cheesy mayo), and diced tomatoes and onions. It was amazing! The Lentil Soup was pretty good too but my current favorite lentil soup is from Istanbul Blue Restaurant - Vienna, VA. If you love Borek, the Spinach & Cheese Borek was so large, I had to place it on a dinner plate!

4 stars for uncooked chicken in grilled chicken sandwich. And sandwich was also too much dry please add some sauce in it. Thank you.
