Balkan House

The food was super fresh! Everything tasted delicious! I devoured the fries it was so yummy, hot, crispy and flavorful. The doner was also spectacular and I would definitely recommend anyone to stop by to try them out. The waitress/cook was also friendly and it took a little bit to get our food but it was worth it!

Really small restaurant in Hamtramck with only a handful of tables. The inside is not super warm but it's cute enough. Service was friendly. Food took just long enough to know it was being made fresh to order and I was hungry. I was too excited about it to stop and take pictures of everything. I got a chevapi plate, which is a Bosnian dish with beef sausage and bread. This was absolutely freaking delicious. I have had authentic Bosnian food in the past and this measured up. I savored every bite. My boyfriend got a beef/lamb döner wrap, which he thoroughly enjoyed. We also got a plate of waffle fries, which were perfectly crisp and seasoned. I couldn't get enough of this food! I got baklava to go and enjoyed that at home. I can be picky about my baklava- this was good. I will absolutely be back for this food!

This is 100% not a traditional donor kebab. The meat is gyro meat and nothing more. Friendly ordering friendly, takeout OK bread and toppings, but I was expecting a donor kebab and I got a Gyro. I can't believe more people don't mention this.

Stopped by for carry out after visiting Woodward throwbacks warehouse sale. I had the beef/lamb doner, my wife had the chicken doner wrap, and we shared the waffle fries. Everything was delish, I can't wait to get back

Awesome sandwiches, our group had the Döner Kebob with steak, lamb, chicken Falafels. The peppered seasoning was excellent! The server was very prompt and knowledgeable about the menu.

Not a fancy place, and a little chilly in the cold weather, but the food was outstanding! I had a Doner sandwich, and it was incredible. Although it isn't a "gyros", it's very similar - and I'll never eat one again because this Doner is soo much better! And the bread is amazing - the outer layer being delicately crisp, and soft on the inside. Also had Turkish coffee for the first time, and loved it! Prices are reasonable, and the staff is friendly.

Definitely try the loaded donor, smaller menu than the original in Dearborn and less staff but great food!!

My husband has been talking about how much he loves Doner Kebab for years, so when I saw a post for Balkan House we added it to our must visit list.Located in Hantramck, there is ample street parking available. There is also a lot across the street, but I am unsure if it's available for parking. I am also unsure if they have a dedicated lot behind the restaurant. Regardless, it was easy to find free parking. When we came in there was only one other group eating. There are not too many tables inside, and the interior is not fancy. There was a great playlist when we visited though. While there may not be much for ambiance, it more than makes up for it with the food. We did order the Doner Kebab, but you also have the options of a Doner bowl, Doner fries, or a Doner wrap. We went the traditional route, which was beef/lamb served in between some crispy white bread. It was topped with shredded cabbage, lettuce, cucumber, tomato, and Doner sauce. It was definitely big enough to share, and at $12.50 with fries it was a great deal. The fries were not anything special, but they were very seasoned and delicious.We also ordered falafel, which is also served with Doner sauce. Trying the sauce with the falafel, it is definitely spicy. The order came with 5 falafel, and while they were not big in size they were very heavy. Overall it was a good flavor, but if you are sensitive to spice I would skip the sauce. The price was a little high at $7, but since we were splitting our main meal I did not have a problem paying that. I loved the addition of the DCFC scarves on the walls, as well as the different flags throughout the restaurant. Our food was ready in less than 5 minutes, and eaten probably just as quickly. I would recommend checking out The Balkan House if you are in Hantramck, or if you miss the taste of Doner Kebab. The food, service, and price will definitely have us coming back.

Had some baklava that tasted a bit old, not spoiled but not fresh - lots of honey and served cold which was unusual. Ordered Turkish coffee, one employee said it was nasty when talking to a coworker, likely thinking I didn't hear, and when I asked if this $5 cup of coffee was "nasty" they retracted to "well, it's strong". Honestly though, it was good. It is strong and has a more earthy taste than most pre-ground you get from a store but it was good. Inside was ok. Tables and chairs could use aj update but otherwise nice and cozy. Would suggest checking out and I will be back to try some of the actual food on their menu.

Love, LOVE eating Döner bowls. Thank you for existing. Always a friendly atmosphere. Every time the truck is at the Detroit Soccer games, I go straight to it!
