Balkan Grill

**Warning: BALKAN GRILL HAS THE BEST CHICKEN SANDWHICH** Fist thing first I would like to say that this establishment has the best Chicken Sandwhich I have ever had. I come to this restaurant in Alexandria Va at the very least 2x a month and have been ever since I moved to Alexandria. Completely mind blown at how delicious this sandwhich is every single time. The dressing is so rich and rare. The bread is one of kind. I have never seen or eaten anything like it. The chicken is seasoned and cooked perfectly. So juicy and tender. Truly a one of kind sandwhich that I know I will never find anywhere else in the world. The Baklava is so rich and light and full of flavor. Such a rare desert that is not easy to come by. Balkan Grill is so Authentic and I now appreciate this cultures type of food. A friend of mine Timur informed me that he believes this restaurants food is from Turkey but I’m not 100%. I just want to say thank you and give my respects to the owner and employees for the authentic food and amazing customer service satisfaction each and every single time I order. Keep up the hard work and Happy New Years! This establishment has the BEST CHICKEN SANDWICH!

We love it there! Under new management, the food is so delicious. You have to try döner, pide, lahmacun, and cevapi! Amazingly fresh food. One of the best European-Balkan-Turkish cuisines. So yummy! Food: 5/5

Had a wonderful lunch here. Staff was super friendly. Food was amazing. They have a cool euro store next door.Food: 5/5

One of the best restaurant I have ever been! Under new management really much better. Must try Cevapcici, Borek, Adana Burger and baklavaFood: 5/5

Unfortunately, this place changed it's owner in the meantime, and is nowhere near what it used to be several years ago. We ate cevapcici and cheese pie, and taste was nowhere near what it used to be. I suppose it caters towards now to the Middle Eastern/Mediterranean style, as guys working there seem coming from that cuisine. It's not unedible, but it is not Balkan/ex-Yugoslavia style of food at all. It's a shame that it went downhill. On the other hand, the next-door store, Euro Foods, is with the same owner that is from the Balkans, and has all the goods from ex-Yugoslavia.

This is really a takeout place. There was one table outside and a counter where you could sit down to eat. I’ve never tasted such under-spiced bland food. The gyro meat had no flavor, even the hummus was bland. The dolma were straight out of the can. The only good dip was the eggplant and the fried rolls were good fresh and hot. I was so disappointed. I’d really hoped to have found a good middle eastern place.

Local restaurant with high reviews I had to try. I Really wanted Lamb, but they offered me something similar. I appreciate the accommodation but wasn’t impressed with my first visit. Honestly, I will try again after viewing the full menu, the meat alternative was seasoned very well! Ask for the Greek Sauce.Recommended dishes

The most delicious food you can find in America is truly here. You smile when you taste the food. Ask for the desserts with the fantastic rice pudding, especially caramelized on top.

We went for lunch and has the doner kebab sandwich with a side salad. The sandwich was delicious! I also ordered chicken wings on the side. I really liked my sandwich but did not care for the chicken wings. The wings were too salty and seemed of a frozen variety. I'll definitely be back but will avoid the chicken wings.

The worst food ever! I At first their food is never fresh! At second guys that work there are rude! Third - double check what they packed in your to go box! Fourth - food doesn’t taste like Balkam food! Fifth - the most of these 5 star reviews are fake! In just a few minutes you can easily distinguish which reviews are real or fake! If u don’t want to get food poisoned, stay away from this place!!!
