Balkan Meat Market

Small place and easy to miss, but I'm so glad I found it. I was hosting a World Cup Final party where we'd only serve French and Croatian/Balkan dishes, and I knew I had to get some cevapi... after some searching, I found this place and I'm so glad I did. This meat was absolutely delicious and was a huge hit at the party! I need to go back and get some more... mmmmm sausage.

Last of just a few producing hundreds year old school Smoked Meats, this 2nd generation Master since 1975 took over for dad who constructed the in house Smoker still in use today filling with layers of Hickory Wood making the very best Smoked Meats around town, yes a true Detroit Classic like many old business the kids have zero interest in carrying on. Oh I've known dozens great older business with 2nd and 3rd generation families that closed the last decade. You must venture out to sample the fabulous meats, yeah free tastes to all . I purchased over half of what taste and save more for next visit. Worth the 20 mile drive on a Saturday adventure planned for a while. The main reason they advertise Best CEVAPI in America hey we all agree they no lie. Found he supplies many of the eating spots that sell this treat. Just take a look at me photos and plan your visit soon. Cevapi, or cevapcici, are small minced meat kebabs that are commonly made of ground beef or a mix of beef mince with other meats such as pork, veal or lamb. The flavors are reminiscent of one of my favorite kebab, Lebanese kafta, but the rolls are much smaller and more delicate. The Turkish influence on this dish is clear, and there are many regional variations that play with the size, shape, meat mince and blend, flavorings, and final presentation. In Bosnia, the cevapi are short, squat and slightly fat. Each one is a mere hungry mouthful or two full of meat. Croatian cevapi are slightly longer, and Bulgarian cevapi are thick and fat like short sausages.

If your a fan of homemade smoked sausages, homemade smoked bacon this is the place. I met Ivan the owner today and sampled quite a bit, ended up buying everything I sampled as it was so flippin good.

super nice to deal with and we're generous with samples while trying to decide! The cevapi were great

Me and my wife love this place! Great food great people I don't eat pork but I love the Bacon they sale... always fresh

If I were you I would definitely not pass up the opportunity to try the Cevapi! Its amazing in the grill, on the stove and in the oven! Their bacon is absolutely to die for and let's not even mention the Cvarci! It's little pieces of fried pork cooked till they are crunchy but soft and chewy! So good! Would definitely recommend this place!! Found their products at other stores as well!!

Not only do they have the best cevaps around, but. Ray will mail them all over the county!

Very good smoked sausage and bacon. Worth the drive to Detroit!
