Balkan Express Restaurant, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Restaurant Details

Food:

I absolutely LOVE this place. First and foremost, the owners are amazing people who actually take the time to converse with you and make you feel totally welcome in their restaurant. That is a huge starting point. Then, its the homemade food. Yes, I'll admit, its not the most flavorful, but it makes you just feel amazing and like you're visiting relatives when you eat it...and totally authentic. The salads are perfect, the bread is delicious. This is basically the place I take people to in Philly if I want a nice enjoyable meal, a reasonable price, oh and its BYOB, so you're not spending a fortune on drinks. Just give it a try!

Food:

Really enjoyed it. The host and his son were very nice and polite, the food was excellent. The mixed meat platter for two was done to perfection. Portions were just perfect, my wife and I left feeling very satisfied with the meal.
Will definitely go back again, it being the only balkan restaurant in Philly, beats out some of the other balkan restaurants I've tried around other cities.

Food:

A very nice little restaurant with good authentic southeastern European food. Neat and clean, nice atmosphere, reasonable prices (cash only), friendly and personable owner-host/server and chef. Pretty much the only southern Slavic restaurant in Philly. We'll be back!

Food:

If you are from the Balkan region, or just like the food there, try this restaurant. I like the lamb a lot. My wife, a Romanian, likes it a lot. Very friendly owners. Call ahead and BYOB.

Food:

I just had dinner at the Balkan express, both the Sarma and the Cevapcici were dead on perfect. Service is a little slow, but bring your own bottle of wine and the friendly atmosphere more than makes up for it.
