I can't believe I'm just visiting this place!! LOVE good Colombian food and this one hits it right…read moreon the nail (is that even a phrase)? Anyway, came here on a weekday afternoon and wasn't busy at all- that's not to say that the food/bakery wasn't good. It was AMAZING. I got the lunch special which was chicken soup with breaded filet, salad and rice for $12.99. WHAT! And that portion was BIG as you can see from the pictures. Our server was attentive and got us whatever we needed almost right away! My breaded filet came out delicious. Perfect amount of crispy where it's not overdone and it wasn't drenched in any sauce that made the filet soggy. The house salad was simple yet flavorful and that chicken noodle soup was SO hearty that I wanted to go in the kitchen and scoop myself more. The place is big and bright and clean. Bakery on one side of the restaurant for quick take out and restaurant to the right. There's street parking but there's also parking in the back where the giant farmer market is, but it can be a busy lot. I came back here again with my husband another day and had another lunch special which was grilled chicken with mushroom sauce and my husband had a 16oz churrasco, all cooked to perfection. We got some bakery goods to go and we can't wait to have them later. Highly recommend this place!!

I was in the mood for chicken shish kebab and found this place via Google and Yelp. I saw the…read morepictures and reviews and decided to try this spot out. This review is strictly on takeout of chicken shish kebab. Placed an order for pick up and got an order of chicken shish kebab ($21.25) which comes with rice, veggies, roasted tomato and red peppers, and pita bread. From the pictures I saw from Google, they use chicken breast, looks like they switched to chicken thigh, still tasty. I was looking for lean meat so this caught me off guard. The rice is more on the sticky rice side instead of the traditional loose rice, interesting. Overall it was a good meal. They have a lunch special for the kebabs that I may try out. * they have white sauce NOT tzatziki sauce * street parking * live music - Saturday

The Balkan Kitchen - 5/5…read more We came here because of the outstanding Google reviews, and they definitely lived up to the hype. We ordered the grilled chicken, beef ćevapi, and the cucumber yogurt dip. Everything was freshly prepared in the open kitchen, and you can tell they take pride in what they serve. The portions were generous and offered excellent value for the price. The standout dish was the grilled chicken. We had the flattened chicken breast, and it was exceptionally juicy, flavorful, and perfectly grilled--a definite must-order. If they ever add grilled dark meat to the menu, I think it would be even better. As it stands, this is an easy 5-star dish. Interestingly, the flavor reminded us of Nando's flame-grilled chicken, but we actually enjoyed this even more. The beef ćevapi was also freshly made with a great texture and was enjoyable. Personally, I found it a little under-seasoned, but that's likely because I prefer bolder, saltier, and spicier flavors. That's purely a matter of personal taste, and next time I'll probably bring along my favorite hot sauce or spices. The quality of the meat itself was excellent. The cucumber yogurt dip deserves a special mention. It tasted like it was made in-house, with a wonderfully fresh texture and the pleasantly tangy, sour notes that are difficult to find in most store-bought yogurt. It paired beautifully with both the grilled chicken and the ćevapi. Overall, The Balkan Kitchen delivers fresh food, generous portions, and outstanding value for money. Combined with the friendly atmosphere and the ability to watch your meal being prepared in the open kitchen, it made for a great dining experience. We'll definitely be coming back.

Service is wonderful and the food according to other people compete with New York in terms of authenticity and flavor. It's a great place to just drop by get a bite to eat or to-go. It's a small store but it's homey. (Not a place for a date night but a place to say "wow this is delicious" ) Definitely will come back to support these small business owners! Food: Beef Kebab (Solid 8/10) Would get again. Not familiar with Balkan cuisine, I do prefer some vegetables but I really don't mind the extra meat for the price Chicken Shish (8.5/10) Really tender and flavorful chicken. I definitely thought this was juicier than the beef but you can't go wrong with either. Environment: Clean and friendly. Small dining area and seems to operate well with to-go options. Not a date night recommendation. Parking: Is ROUGH to say the least, this is on one of the busiest streets in town. If you are lucky then there is meter parking on the street. Only thing I could recommend is the liquor store parking or supermarket parking up by the intersection. It is a lot easier walking there if you are around the neighborhood or just getting it delivered. Overall: Definitely give it a shot you won't regret it! They are lovely people who are spreading their cuisine.

New Peruvian spot in Hackensack, and they definitely didn't disappoint!…read more Their menu felt bigger than we anticipated! They also provide an iPad with pictures of every dish, which makes ordering so much easier! Pulpo Anticuchero (5/5): The octopus was cooked just right, so juicy and the flavors were spot on. Def a highlight here Tallarines Verdes (5/5): The pesto pasta was incredible, and the steak was super flavorful. (tip: We ordered medium-rare, but it came out closer to rare. If you want true medium-rare, consider ordering medium!) Ceviche Clásico & Ceviche Llama Sam (4.5/5): You honestly can't go wrong with the ceviche here, super fresh. Crispy Croquettes (4.25/5): Very meaty, and definitely worth trying. Llama Grill (4/5): Generous meat portion! The flavor was good, though it could've been slightly more tender Calamari (3.5/5): Just okay, the batter could have used a bit more crunch Fried Rice here was mediocre and had more of a hibachi-style flavor profile. I'd skip this here

Llama Sam is definitely worth trying if you're looking for Peruvian food in Hackensack…read more It was a quiet experience as it was just another table at us eating during lunch on a Saturday. We ordered the Tallarines Verdes with Lomo Saltado, Arroz con Mariscos, and Pescado a lo Macho, plus calamari for apps and the berry cheesecake for dessert. The Tallarines Verdes with Lomo Saltado ended up being the favorite dish at the table. The steak was well-seasoned and flavorful, although a bit chewy. The green pesto style pasta with the sauce was delicious and complemented the steak well. The Arroz con Mariscos had a rich, creamy flavor, but it wasn't as loaded with seafood as I expected. It came with about two shrimp and smaller pieces of squid, along with other seafood. The Pescado a lo Macho featured a nicely cooked piece of fish in a flavorful seafood sauce. Although I personally think it's a bit salty. The berry cheesecake was an excellent dessert. It was very light and almost mousse like texture. The only service issue was that they initially forgot to bring out the Tallarines Verdes with Lomo Saltado, so we had to remind our server. They apologized, and once it arrived, it ended up being the table favorite. My only other complaint was the calamari. It tasted good, but the portion was much smaller than expected for the price, so I didn't think it was a great value. I do think this is a good experience overall.
