I had a fantastic meal here today. The food was wonderful, and the service was outstanding. I will definitely be returning regularly. The prices are unbeatable, and the flavors were spot on. Thank you for an amazing lunch!

I haven't had cevapi since I moved away from the mainland, so when I saw the CBC story announcing that BK was open, I was there waiting for the doors to open this morning. Balkan cuisine, especially Bosnian, is incredibly tasty if you appreciate good meat. You should definitely try it! Also, I'm really into music from that region. While you enjoy your meal, give Dino Merlin and Hari Varesanovic's "Da bog da" a listen to really set the mood. Haha! :D

Finally made it out to the Balkan Kitchen today. My husband has been talking about the cheese pie he had in Bosnia 20 yrs ago and he was totally impressed with the cheese pie he had today. Food was fresh and service was amazing we will definitely return for another meal.

My wife and I ate there for a change of pace from fast food, and we weren't disappointed. Great tasting food, friendly service and we left with our bellies full. We will definitely be back!!!

We enjoyed our meals. I had meat pie and hubby had sausages. It's nice to have the chance to try dishes from other countries. Apparently, they sometimes have live entertainment on Saturday nights....looking forward to that.
