    Pide with halal chicken
    Marley R.

    Wow fully had a ratatouille scene mentally after taking our first bite of the pide. All the flavors just melted together and to my surprise the crust was stuffed with cheese! Absolutely to die for. The spicy halal chicken totally had no heat and was amazing on the doner. The tea was also fabulous along with the baklava. No notes!

    The food is not as authentic as you think but the flavor is there. *see accessibility note If you don't have a togo order, be prepared to get overwhelmed on a busy dinner rush. The line goes out the back door and you better hope a table gets flipped in time for you to eat. I got the fish sandwich. The bread and fish had a smoke flavor but needed assistance from the sauce. It would better with some of the cabbage on it. The cabbage also needed more pickling. The house chips were great and had enough flavor. I also tried the "bread pudding". It was tough and more like a french toast and not at all soft. The whipped cream and sour cherries were the best. Accessibility note: This restaurant is not accessible. The "accessibility" entry is clunky and requires a lot of assistance to manage. The back staircase has railing but more than 4 steps. The front entry could be accessible if they lay ramp concrete to remove the small step. Also the Main Street patio seating completely blocks the sidewalk so wheelchair and walker users would have to enter the street. The newest award for the owner made the food hard to live up to, but I want to return.

    Outstanding flavor and quality of food !! I ordered chicken Doner - spicy halal chicken in somun with onion, cheese, cabbage, tomato, lettuce. It was served with Balkan chips. Superb quality and great service.

    Wow, the flavors are off the charts! We had the brown butter hummus to start, then #4 had a nice but not too much spice on it and tasted amazing. Then we finished with the bread pudding which was scrumptious! Whenever we are in town, we will be stopping by. Great ambiance, excellent service, unforgettable food!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a long line and almost a full house when I first arrived with my friend.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]However, as we were closer to the cashier, we were able to spot a seat. Customers come and go, so it made it easier to find a seat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered Pide with a side of chips instead of the cabbage salad. I was only able to finish half as it made me full. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love how warm and comfortable the place is, so it was a pleasant experience to have my meal there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There was plenty of parking at the back so I didn't have to worry about it.

    I've had this place bookmarked for so long and I've finally made my way here. It gets pretty busy (even when we came before what would have been dinner rush) but the queue moves pretty quickly and seats become available (you grab a table after placing an order). We tried the lahmacun and the pide with the chips. They were both prety hearty and not too heavy. The wood oven gave it a good smoky flavour. The chips were also quite tasty and you can tell the ingredients are thoughtfully prepared! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space itself is quite small and casual but the food does come out quickly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's a must try if you're looking for something different. I would definitely come back and try the other dishes.

    Delicious Friday fish special
    Diego M.

    There was so much food provided here. They sort of don't know how to operate like a normal restaurant; you enter, order, pay, and then you're seated and get your food off their small menu. It's delicious though. They have specials that vary by the day and I got the Friday fish fry one which was delicious. The cabbage and chips were alright, but the beer they push is pretty gross. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also some of the wood blocks they have decorating stick out; I hit my arm on one not thinking the wall would be uneven and almost dropped a glass.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's in a cute neighborhood thought so I do reccomend hitting this place up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    #8 SOPSKA SALAD my bro dove in before I could snap a pic!
    Janice P.

    Food that made my brother that wasn't sure what Balkan food was say wow on his first bite of pide.... That's Balkan Treat Box. We went for an early dinner last Saturday since he had been driving much of the day coming for spring break. And as I rattled off where we could go he found Balkan intriguing. We were just after 5 pm. People were there BUT THERE WAS NO LINE. What magic is that?!?! He looked for a while at the menu and I said I needed a pide. We could get a couple of things to share. He handed me the menu and said I should just order. I ordered us the sopska salad, a vegetable pide special -- beets a key ingredient, and chicken doner. The salad came and he dove in fast. As he slowed a bit he said how much he enjoyed the freshness it offered. The pide came next and he was sold! Hadn't tasted anything like it but loved it through and through! He knew he would love the doner by then. And the line of happy people grew throughout our time there. Love that the whole Balkan team is so welcoming and service oriented, even had owner/chef Loryn Nalic stop by to touch base. My brother will be talking about this meal for a while!

    I can't wait to come back here. I visited here for the first time with my friend and the food was a 10/10. I got the Pide with beef and it was wonderful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was really clean[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and the service was nice and quick. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a little loud, but I honestly didn't mind.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Rice pudding with pistachio and rose petals
    Robert B.

    Came for lunch on my wife's birthday and had a great time. Food was delicious and came out quickly. We shared the 32 ounce Balkin cocktail and loved it! The server was friendly and kept checking on us as we sat and relaxed. Interior is well laid out and there's plenty of seats. Fun place to get great food and enjoy good company!

    Blocking the sidewalk. People in wheelchairs can't get by.
    Zach D.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Still blocks the sidewalk with their chairs and tables. There isn't even 2 feet between the last table and the lamppost.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you can't fit you have to cross the street.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]So let's say you're at the corner and want to get to Imos, but you have to pass Balkan. You can't just go 20 feet from Balkan to Imos, you need to cross the street, go down, cross back over and come back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]And those tables are usually empty. Definitely empty when they are closed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I get you want outside tables but at the expense of people being able to walk (or use their wheelchair) seems wrong.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Just want my family to be able to walk past Balkan, currently we cannot and have to cross the street to get to the shops on this side.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Wow! Food, service, ambiance, everything here was great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I haven't tried many Bosnian restaurants but I will be coming back here for sure. The meat was very flavorful and the texture of the bread was perfect. Only thing was I wish there were more peppers to add the spice to the meal. I'll definitely be back!

    Vegetable Pide & Chicken Pide & Fried Feta
    Tricia C.

    This was by far one of the best restaurant experiences we've had. From the moment we walked in until the moment we were walking out we received a 10/10 experience. We walked in and while in line a staff member came by to explain their specials and menu, and when I asked their recommendation they gladly gave it. When we got to the counter to order the staff member welcomed us and made us feel super comfortable while taking our orders and had small discussion with us and was very personable. Our food came out FAST. This place has a system down and they do all things well. I was amazed at the level of service. Our food was all really good as well. I'm already planning My next trip back to try more of the menu!

    Hi! Is any of the meat you serve halal?

    None of the beef or chicken served is halal. Balkan Treat Box does have lots of delicious vegetarian options.

    +++++ Food ++ service…read more+++ unique ambiance since it's located above a nursery! I LOVE Telva it's one of the places I recommend to friends and family when they come into town. There are no misses on the restaurant menu, everything is delicious, and if I had the stomach capacity I would want to order everything in one sitting to eat. The Cilbir is one of my favorites because of the yogurt and the eggs once mixed together is so delicious together with the bread they provide. However the Sendvic is another classic in our household, either with the sudzuka or the beef bacon added. Honestly everything on their menu is amazing. One thing to note is you are supposed to order first before sitting down since they assign you your seat/table. It does get very busy on weekends so head there early (sometimes even right when it's open during special weekends!).

    We finally tried Telva at The Ridge. This spot is owned by the same folks who own Balkan Treat Box,…read moreso we hoped to have a similar or better experience than BTB (which we liked, but didn't love). Sadly, I'd say this restaurant is actually a star worse than BTB. Let's start with the positives: this place has a cool vibe. It's industrial with a bit of the warmth from the attached Rolling Ridge Nursery below. The downside of the industrial vibe is that the chairs are painful and there could be more seating. The food wasn't bad by any means, but it didn't knock our socks off. My Mom got the Breakfast Sendvic, which is essentially an Egg Sandwich on crispy bread with an herb aioli. She added Beef Bacon. I understand they don't serve pork here, but the Beef Bacon was not her favorite. I got the Breakfast Pide. I thought I ordered sausage on top, but instead received something similar to Pepperoni. Regardless, I enjoyed my meal. The service was definitely the weakest part of our experience. We did not encounter one "friendly" staff member. They all ranged from cordial to rude. That being said, I think we'd give Telva another chance a few months from now.
