✔️ Village chevapi sandwich, mild avjar ✔️ Fiery chevapi sandwich, chaos sauce, chilli

Stans Grill is a small, Balkan kiosk located on Hudson Road, Spotswood. It is sandwiched (pardon the pun) between their other store @maznikpastry and favourite local bakery @candiedbakery.

They specialise in Chevapi and Eastern European Sandwiches, with everything from pickles tor relishes house made, just like Baba would have. 👵🏼 We tried two sandwiches, the Village and the Fiery. Both were a generous size, the bread choice is flawless. Would have loved to see some more creative options, there were not much differences between the options apart from the spread. The Chevapi are made up of Pork and Beef.

They went through many tastings to find the perfect style of chips, which were perfect albeit over salted. Overall, we enjoyed them. Unsure if $16-18 is a bit too pricey but also i do make these at home and there’s really not many others out there with the same...

This is a popular street food from the balkans of east europe where they bring balkan sausage sizzle to spotswood using the one grill to showcase their authentic style.

They were originally doing sandwiches but have now brought their traditional way of eating cevapi which is served with flatbread and pickled house slaw.

Whilst the flavour, aroma and sauces as well as the bread were calling the Greek Gods, the meat itself was a bit dry. If their meat kept that warmth like it kept its chargrilled smokiness, then I think this would be the new hot spot for a solid hearty fix. The Avjar sauce and Stan’s sauce were really the highlights and saviours of each bite.

Their muffin was just as good. I came back the next week and their cevapi meat inside a patty is the morning wake up call. Altho I wasn’t a fan...

Look, it’s not authentic Balkan food. It’s been altered to make it a bit more Australian friendly to accommodate for everyone.

It’s not a bad thing, but it’s not authentic.

Food is nice, but it’s not taste of balkans you get overseas.

Cevapi is not dry, it’s tasty but i have had better. 4/5

Bread is toasted, thin and dry, authentic way the bread should be either dense and wet. Or fluffy. So I’ll give that 3/5 it’s not horrible

I asked for sour cream.. they didn’t have it.

They had ajvar instead or their own sauce, the sauce they make is not bad comes in a small little container. It’s a mix between ajvar and cottage cheese.

Overall, it’s nice worth a try But if it’s authenticity you’re after, it’s not the same as...
