My first time trying Croatian food and it was amazing! I notice people in Australia don't use yelp much so I'm reviewing this restaurant bc people NEED to know about this hidden gem. Balkan restaurants is a family owned business. Ran by mom, dad, grandma, everyone is cooking, serving and helping out. Also very friendly and they make you feel very welcomed. My sister in-law Amie, is a true foodie and Sydney local. She booked a table for the family as it was my last night before I headed back to San Francisco. We shared the cabbage rolls, mixed seafood plate, Potato and mixed green salad and I ordered the steak with the Diana sauce. The food was cooked to perfection on an open flame grill. You can really taste the home cooked European flavors in each dish. I have to say, this was the best piece of meat I've yet to have. We all indulged and still left room for dessert. Mmmmmmm I will crave these flavors when back in the US. I highly recommend Balkan restaurant to anyone looking for authentic European flavors in Sydney. I will be back for another meal in the future. read more
