Balķan Grill — Restaurant in Kaiserslautern

This is a wonderful restaurant you have to try. It's a warm, cozy space with a lovely ambiance, with high-end furniture and decor. The food took a while to come, but was well worth the wait. We got the Cevapcici, grill plate, and 2 soups, all of which was great. It is authentic food and you will not be disappointed. I thought the steak was a little overdone (well-done) but that seems standard in Germany. The restaurant ran by a family for generations, with the husband and wife in the kitchen, and the son waiting on the customers. Nico (I think was his name) is amazing and so charismatic and warm. I'm not sure how he can be so friendly and attentive to everyone, and I asked him, and he said he treats every customer like family. I have to say I felt that way, as we ate at a long table with several other folks who were so friendly and accommodating. He speaks perfect English, German, and Serbian. They offer a delicious shot of liquor at the end of the meal which was very welcomed. I hope you will enjoy...

Was looking forward to balkan cuisine as soon as I came to the city a couple of days ago but regreted visiting this restaurant. Usually a balkan restaurant never dissapoints but this visit was a disaster. We noticed that the ancient waiter was smoking at the entrance door as soon as we came. That is why the whole restaurant reeks of smoke (and something else). The first look at our plates made us forget the bad smells. I am sure the cook tried but it simply wasn't good. Some pieces of meat weren't cooked enough, didn't taste good (even cevapcic and pljeskavica) and mostly, the meat tasted old...

In town for work and staying at a hotel down the street. Stumbled upon this place and was intrigued by the menu (not very American — which I consider a good thing when not in America)… turns out it was a great decision. The owner and servers were very kind and attentive. The food was delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant!

I couldn’t tell you what I ate in English or German or Serbian (?)… but I’ll include a picture. Some sort of pork/beef burger with feta. The goulash was...
