Balkan Cafe - Jacksonville

Really good portions and delicious food. Absolutely hidden gem. Will be back.

I wrote a review a few years ago PRAISING how great this restaurant was food. A few tragic losses, a pandemic and several movements later, I tried to get her food back with my people and ma mind? BOOM! Essen Gasm?. I have not, although I grew up eating this food (Balkan parents), it is part of the best meat you could try in the Southeast. Order 10 Cevapi, with Kajmak Luk (aka, cubed onions), and you will not regret.

The heat from the grill seemed to overcome the A/C system, so it was uncomfortably warm. The food was delicious and very full. Price was good, staff very freendly. Would go back there on a cooler day.

Tried the Balkan mixed grill plate. The crowd was enough for two and the food was excellent and tasteful. Place is clean and the owner is very helpful. Nice to have found it in the neighborhood.

Very good restaurant. Had Cevapi, Balkan Mixed Grilled Platter, Cappuccino, and a soft drink. The meats are very flavorful. The coffee was great. The owner was very helpful with explaining the dishes and recommending things for a first timer. Definitely will come back to try other items.
