Restaurante Shija Sabores de Los Balcanes — Restaurant in Benidorm

If you’re really into food, this place will blow your mind. We’ve visited it only twice and our hands we’re glued to the cutlery not the phones (so unfortunately we don’t have any pictures) but all the dishes we’re really surprising. The menus are well thought with savors that that will make you stop for a moment to process what happens in your mouth. They take really good care of the quality of the ingredients (i.e. dry aged meat) and try to use local products when possible. We know all of this because they are really friendly and we just talked a lot. It’s like going to your friends house but instead of pizza getting fine cuisine. One more thing: it’s really affordable for what it offers. I would dare to say a bit too affordable. Try it out, you...

What a great restaurant to dine in this is. One of, if not the best if Altea and Benidorm. We were 7 of us, 4 adults and 3 kids from 3 up to 8, and we had an awesome time. Artur, the chef, that owns the place with his wife, runs it in a very cosy and friendly manner that makes you feel welcomed and at home. Food is yummy. Absolutely delicious. Bringing Balkan's Mediterranean cuisine to the other side of the Mediterranean is just so smart and it goes really well with Spanish (and Italian of course) dishes. Plenty to choose from and more reasons to go back too. Just wish, and can't wait, for Artur to open Shija in Dublin, Ireland. If you are visiting the area would highly recommend Shija, and the beach...

Fabulous Balkan cuisine dining experience, we decided to leave it to chef Artur to choose our meal and we were not disappointed. 5 courses of high quality ingredients expertly combined resulting in a real treat for the taste buds. Not only is the food and presentation first class with all courses being explained with passion and knowledge but the hospitality we experienced from Artur and Cherro was heart warming. We left Shija not only with full stomachs but also full hearts feeling we had made new friends. Artur and Cherro thank you for all your advice of places to visit on our van travels...
