The Balkan Butler — Restaurant in Sydney

Just a short walk from Central Station through the interesting streets of Surry Hills, this restaurant offers a relaxed dining experience, in a clean and tidy venue with pleasant decor. The staff here are very welcoming, and provide friendly and efficient service, especially to a newcomer like me who knew nothing about Balkan cuisine. Not knowing what to order, I asked for something containing spinach and cheese, the staff member who was taking my order suggested a Burek that contained these ingredients. I also ordered a small flat-white coffee, and a slice of Biscoff.

Having paid, I selected a table near the window, and waited for my food to arrive. Moments later, the coffee and Biscoff arrived, not long after, the Spinach and Cheese Burek. The coffee was hot and delicious, the Burek was possibly the most delicious cheese and spinach menu item I have eaten. It was that good. The Biscoff was delicious, with a nice texture, and Cinnamon flavour notes.

I thouroughly enjoyed my dining experience here, good food served by great staff, who patiently explained about various menu items available, and spoke a little about Balkan cuisine. I look forward to dining here again, if I have more time available I'd like to order something that may take a little longer to prepare. The Palachinki Crepes with Candied Oranges sounds...

The cheese and spinach burek was fresh and well balanced, a tad runny, but very generous with the filling. The kebapi with balkan salads, ajvar and sour dough was fantastic. It had a very distinct taste and you could really tell they were using quality meats.

The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. I'll be back again, next time to try Palachinki crepes with...

Really nice fitout, well appointed cafe. I sat outside not because I smoke but because it was a glorious Tuesday morning in Surry Hills and what better way to spend said morning with a coffee & raisin toast and Google Maps. The fellow behind the counter though seemed quite angry and I'm sorry if I upset him with my paltry order of a mere snack for breakfast. You see I'm overweight and don't really eat breakfast. Still, the smile appeared on his face when I paid him. Which was nice. No photo. Used the wifi from the Keg and Butler Pub over the road so...
