Balkan House - Burnaby

Balkan House is a good example of how simplicity translates into perfection.  You can taste the homemade goodness in each bite and appreciate the fact that what you are getting is pretty pure and without added chemicals and unnecessary ingredients.   I also LOVE how you get a full course meal and very generous portions regardless of what you order.   This is one of the few meat oriented restaurants where you can also get plenty of vegetables.  I love the fact that when I order veggies as my preferred side dish, they don't modestly throw in a piece of two they load half of my plate with them.  The buffet items also explode with flavour and are always fresh.  I have been going to this place for the past 12 years and have not once left it feeling dissatisfied in any shape or form.

I first heard about this place from two friends. One was curious and the other said his coworkers always ate here. I was intrigued, so I decided to check it out for a post-workout meal. The buffet was around $16, if I remember correctly. The food was definitely worth it. I had four pieces of chicken, mashed potatoes, sausages, and a bit of everything else. The chicken was moist and buttery, and the potatoes were slightly buttered as well. Overall, the food was decent. I enjoyed the potatoes and chicken, but after the first plate, the flavors started to blend together. I may consider going back if time allows.

Excellent Food: at affodable price! If you're looking for authentic Balkan Cuisine loved by by Serbians, Bosnians, Hercegovians, Montenegrians, Croatians, Greeks, Albanians, Macedonians, Hungarians come here! Similar to Mediteranian Cousine with loads of good quality meats, fresh salads, authentic Balkan+ Middle Eastern side dishes and unique selection of Balkan desserts a fussion of sweeter Greek/ Turkish and lighter creamier Austro Hungerian desserts you'll find it here. For an opportunity to taste a bit of everything Sunday Lunch Buffet is your best option: Rolled up roasted veal and a variety of fresh salads are my favorite. A selection of Balkan vines and beers are a great bonus !Free parking available at the back :

Vegans abstain. Not for the faint of heart (or small of stomach). I've been here a few times with a big group of friends for the buffet. I like it, but let me be clear: nobody comes here for the healthy eats. It's greasy. It's salty. It's starchy. It's meaty (mostly porky). You may not have a good bowel movement for a few days after. Highlights are... the meats (the pork especially). And the potatoes (and I don't usually like potatoes, not even French fries).<br/ <br/ I'd warn Muslims to be very careful with the meats. We found staff was not helpful in identifying the animals involved. Rule of thumb: if you don't see a drumstick, it's probably pork.

A colleague recommended this restaurant. Had dinner there with my husband. Ordered the meat platter for two. Loved the cevapcici the most. We would definitely go back for that.
