Balkan Grill Asanovic in Dortmund

The food was OK, The waiting time, however, is very long The rooms are too narrow A covered outdoor area would be possible as a tip.

The food was 1a. Absolutely awesome and super aromatic. We ordered a plate for two, but if we weren't so gluttonous, it would easily feed three or four. The restaurant itself is of course a bit small, but very stylishly furnished. Right from the start we were given a very realistic time frame as to when the food would be ready and we were only asked to pay when the food was ready. The payment was very uncomplicated and it was also possible with VISA. As far as I can tell, everything is homemade and super tasty, so a clear recommendation 😋 After seeing all the Instagram videos about the restaurant, you weren't disappointed. The food looked just as good and tasty as it ended up being 😊

I don't know what the food and service are like because there are only a few tables in the building and you have to wait more than 30 minutes to get in. The seating capacity is extremely small.

We just had a meal here, the service was very nice, the food was great, the prices were good too. You can't complain, we'll definitely come back more often!!

First and last time. Waiting time 1 hour plus. Food absolutely overpriced and tasteless. Fries neutral, meat neutral. Absolutely disappointing.

"The overall experience was disappointing. The service was slow and the staff seemed uninterested. The food, although edible, was nothing special and definitely not worth the price. The place looked clean, but the atmosphere was rather cold and uncomfortable. With It could be better with a little more effort, but at the moment I wouldn't recommend it."

Poor quality of the food, unfriendly employees, the waiting time until the food is on the table is extremely long between 30-40 minutes for a little something and unfortunately it doesn't taste good either. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone

Unfortunately, I was deceived by the great videos on social media. What awaits you there has nothing to do with the reels and postings. We won't be coming back again.

Whoever gives more than one star has never eaten properly!!!🤢

Overall, my visit to the Balkan Restaurant Asanovic was very positive. The food was above average, with a diverse selection of typical Balkan dishes that tasted convincing. Particularly noteworthy are the fresh ingredients and the loving preparation, which you could feel in every bite. The staff was friendly and helpful. You felt welcome from the start and were looked after attentively throughout your stay. Despite the high volume of people in the restaurant, the wait for the food was surprisingly short and completely acceptable. Overall, Balkan Restaurant Asanovic offers an excellent dining experience that I would happily recommend.

Way too expensive! Customers are knowingly being ripped off. The menu says that a portion of kajmak is served with it, but the unfriendly waiter insists on charging for it additionally when ordering. After you had to show your menu to the waiter, he doesn't understand why kajmak is included and argues about it. This means that things that are included will continue to be charged in the past and in the future. Already at He billed the next customer for this separately, impossible. Greedy. You can raise the prices, but that's cheeky. We've been there regularly before, but that was our last time. Too expensive!! Unfortunately the bread is not poured over, which is standard for the Balkans. And €13 for 7 cevapcici in sour cream is really just greedy. So you unfortunately lost us as customers, which is a shame, but we came regularly from further afield.

Overall it's okay Service is really bad, especially when you pay so much money you expect more...

Very tasty food. The wait was worth it. However, it is always better to make a reservation. We'll definitely come back.

I would recommend it to everyone, the food is simply delicious 😋 😋 only it took me 45 minutes for 2 dishes but it was worth it

Was there on 9/28/24 based on the Tiktok recommendation. Unfortunately the staff wasn't very friendly. There were two of us and we were immediately asked not to sit at a table of four because of the possible families that could come. It was 1pm at noon and the store was completely empty. As time went on, a few more guests came, but there were still enough seats, and the outdoor area was opened during this time. We would have preferred to sit there so as not to smell like food for the rest of the day. The grill plate for 2 people was ok, too much meat and not enough side dishes or salad for my taste. Tzatziki was just a blob on a piece of meat. Mayo and ketchup were not even offered. I wouldn't go there again.

After 40 minutes of waiting to eat we got old and smelly meat. It's so tight and I don't recommend it at all.

Staff was very nice, unfortunately the food wasn't quite my taste but everyone feels differently, inside and outside, otherwise everything was OK.

Unfortunately a big disappointment! We sat at the table for 15 minutes without anyone telling us that you had to order at the front. After we finally ordered, we waited over an hour for our food. It looked good, but the taste was a disaster. The grill plate for 4 people was huge, but the quality of the meat left a lot to be desired. The service was inattentive and disinterested. Overall, more appearance than reality - poor quality, poor service and endless waiting times. Definitely not a recommendation!

Despite a reservation, we waited over an hour for a table and then another hour until the food came. No apology or accommodation. The service was miserable. Food was nothing special. That was our first and last time.

Absolutely crazy! Absolutely no gastronomy experience starting from the very unfriendly service, be it the boss or the waitress. After waiting for over 2 hours, the answer to our inquiry was that the kitchen hadn't even started with our food. Absolutely not recommended

There's some sauce that I ate and then it accidentally got on my blouse and now the shit and more comes out

From the time we ordered to the arrival of the food, we waited 1 and 30 minutes, and it's not as it looks on tiktok, we ordered a Moravian salad, they brought cabbage like they don't have now, we ordered mushrooms and peppers in cream, they only brought peppers in some sour cream, rolled cevap not cooked enough, all that is not worth the money, Aida is much better.

Despite having a reservation, we had to wait 45 minutes outside the door. We had reserved online for 5 p.m. and our reservation was canceled by email at 5:30 p.m. After asking several times, we got a seat and had to wait a total of 2.5 hours for our food, especially with children. The service was unfriendly and in the end we had to get our plates and cutlery ourselves. Not recommended.

Waiting time despite reservation, couldn't get a seat, drove for 1 hour. I had also made it clear at lunchtime that we would come with ten people!! To

The drink arrived after 30 minutes, the food after 1.5 hours. In the end the bread was missing. Tasty but unfortunately not enjoyable due to the poor service

We came especially from Cologne because of the current Instragam hype. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the taste of the food. The store was full, but we had reserved. We didn't have to wait long and the service was always helpful. The staff definitely didn't let themselves be disturbed in the kitchen, even though it was stressful. Since we were sitting outside, we found it e.g. Not so good that the guests waiting for the table outside smoked, that wasn't so pleasant. If you present your store like this on Instagram, you shouldn't be surprised that people will follow your store. It's reminiscent of a small snack bar, but more space would definitely be better. However, the concept is great and we will definitely come back.

Very very tasty. Get a place straight away.

Our experience at the Balkan Grill on September 14th, 2024 There were three of us and we had reserved a table in advance to spend a pleasant evening at your Balkan Grill. Unfortunately, our expectations were bitterly disappointed. Despite our reservation, there was no table for us upon arrival and we had to wait outside in the cold for about 20 minutes until a table became available. This was already an unpleasant start to the evening. When we were finally able to sit down, after just five minutes we were asked again to change tables because they had six people and they would fit better at our table. Although this was very rude and unprofessional for us, we also endured this inconvenience. The food we had already ordered while we were waiting (outside on the sidewalk) was eventually served, but we were completely ignored after that. None of the service staff came to us to ask for drinks or requests. The quality of the food also left a lot to be desired - unfortunately it didn't live up to what we had hoped for from your restaurant. Overall the visit was a huge disappointment, both in terms of service and quality of food. I therefore cannot recommend your restaurant. The service was terrible and the entire experience extremely unpleasant. I hope you take this feedback seriously and use it to improve the service and organization in your restaurant.

I have rarely seen more rip-offs than in this restaurant

1 hour waiting time with the store half empty. Very small shop. Don't let Instagram fool you, it doesn't taste good. It sounds like a lie but it's not, my friend and I had very bad stomach pains afterwards! Never again

Prices are really overpriced and they are very unfriendly to children, but the food was delicious.

A chip shop. I've tried almost everything here. What I can't recommend is the pizza. The colleagues don't get it right or they still have to learn it. I think the prices are sometimes overpriced for what you get. Some dishes seem to me as if they were ready-made meals that had previously been frozen, although you have to wait a long time. So not suitable for the lunch break. Nevertheless, I don't want to be like that and am only giving 4 stars for now and hope for improvement.

I wanted to eat there with two colleagues, after I entered the shop and saw the clients there, we left straight away... you have the feeling that you are not in Dortmund, but in a Roma district in Serbia.

Too expensive and your spam in TT isn't any better right now. Calculate the prices better and offer them again. Naughty people who work here because they don't understand criticism, it's a shame because it's nothing personal. Ambiance 6

Great food, large portions, it took a while to eat but the shop was also full. It makes sense to reserve in advance

Food like from home to have something like that in Germany is perfect!

There were four of us and we had the 4 person platter. The only thing that bothered me was the smokers outside. YES you had to wait a little, but the shop was full and there was a lot of food on the plates. Drinks came practically straight away. Quality of the food was great, very tasty meat, nice service and fair prices!

I was there for the first time today. We ordered the platter for four people and ate with five people - it was a perfect fit. We also had three bowls of salad and enough bread. We also ordered fries. We had to wait 1.5 hours for the food - but that's just how it is. Everything was extremely tasty and still extremely hot - almost too hot to eat straight away. I ordered carbonated water twice, but it arrived non-carbonated twice - that was a bit annoying. More attention must definitely be paid to hygiene in the sanitary facilities - I personally think it would make sense to have women's toilets and men's toilets separately, but it seemed that there was no other option. Everything else was always very clean, including the tables. Nevertheless, only 4 stars overall today, so that there is still room for improvement and I can update the rating next time.

We waited half an hour and were not served. We got a ticket ourselves and continued to wait. No chance to order. We then drove to another restaurant. The store was normally busy and not full.

The tables are very dirty!! The food isn't good either, it's actually always the same in all Balkan restaurants

Went there spontaneously from Bielefeld. Boss said you're welcome to come over. Everything is reserved but I won't go home without food. I said it's done, all the staff were super nice. Food and a wonderful atmosphere. I'll be back. It was very nice with you ❤️

Service 5 stars preferably no waiter comes half an hour instead of the waiter bringing us the cards, the guests do it and give us their card and the food didn't really taste good either

The TEUR was really exaggerated but the 1 hour wait was absolutely not worth it. We tried it and that was it. See photo, plate for 2 people.75 euros.

So you can really avoid it, please don't let the video influence you. You don't get anywhere near what is on the video / you order for several people and you get a maximum of 2 people, And the taste, well, could be better, so I'm just kidding

Service was bad, we waited a long time for our food and most of the things were ready. Not recommended!

Didn't get a seat despite a reservation. Either you should not offer reservations, or you should manage them better. It is not correct to make guests wait after a long journey with a reservation. This is not a matter of waiting a few minutes. We didn't wait any longer and left the restaurant. I can't judge food.

Despite having a reservation, we would have had to wait at least 45 minutes! Nobody cared about us. Very poorly organized. Unfortunately I can't judge the quality of the food.

Made a reservation, then waited outside for 20 minutes and still didn't have a seat. We should continue to wait for the other customers to get up, despite having a reservation. We proceeded accordingly. Very bad service.

We were there the days long waiting times food was blown away 0 ajvar ready from aldi definitely overpriced ..

really a sweet little darling. Staff friendly and attentive. Store very clean. After the guests, the tables were cleared, cleaned and leftover food was swept from the floor. food was really delicious

French fries made of gold or something. Everything is far too expensive

Mega delicious, we haven't eaten such delicious cevape as here in a long time. It is very small but very, very beautiful. The staff is also extremely friendly and accommodating.

Enjoy your meal! Lean portions Nice staff Small but nice Toilet catastrophe, I didn't mention it

Very unfriendly, the food wasn't that special. Had to wait over 1 hour for 15 çevapçiçi.

We waited for almost 2 hours without even getting bread or nothing. They do not care about customers and the food is not good aswell it’s the worst.

They let us wait for 2 hours. Dont believe the tiktok things you see. It’s so disrespectful to let people wait for that long without even giving bread or sauces!!!!

Nice restaurant with delicious food LG (Pizzeria Amore Mio)

Became aware of it through Instagram and traveled 140km to visit the restaurant. Without exception, we all enjoyed the food. Especially the chicken and the small Cecab cicis are extremely good. Even my picky wife liked it. The breads were super good. The 4 person platter was completely enough for us and the price was reasonable. Of course, when you eat so much, you have to wait a bit. It's not fast food. We will hopefully come back soon.

Very tasty food. Excellent even. Only on-site service still has potential for development. And for my taste, the standard portion could have been a little larger for €11.

Unfortunately I drove 40km for free. Many tables were empty but reserved. It would be nice if you noted this somewhere beforehand on insta Google or tiktok. The shop is really very small, just 5 tables inside and 3 tables outside. I don't think it's very smart to start an advertising campaign on social media for such a small shop. There are kiosks that are larger.

The food is good. They make an effort but the waiting times are far too exaggerated!!! As well as poor service!!! Orders are taken at random and ignored!! After waiting for over 1:30 hours in a shop with 6 tables, it's way too exaggerated!!! PS: there were 2 people, not a group of several people Due to obvious frustration from other customers, the store is no longer being visited... SAD.. lots of potential.

We experienced an absolute catastrophe today. We made reservations in advance by phone because we had an arrival time of 1 hour. When we arrived suddenly no one knew about a reservation and we had to wait 30 minutes. When we were finally able to sit down, it took 1:40 hours from taking the order to serving it. The icing on the cake was that the order arrived incomplete and we had to follow up ourselves. As if that wasn't enough, we ordered a grill plate with lamb chops which were also missing. When we asked, we were told that they had run out of Kottlets and had therefore put something else on our plate. You can also communicate something like that or ask the guests if it's okay. The food tastes okay but it's not a highlight. For an 85€ bill, taking 50 cents for card payment is also a disgrace. In summary, one can say that the website is worlds better than reality.

We came in and sat there for 45 minutes and the condition didn't even come to give us at least a menu. We had to get up and get it ourselves and we waited another 20 minutes and it still didn't come, so we just got up and left. Service really catastrophic and we as customers are not valued. First time and really the last time.

Highly recommended restaurant for anyone who loves Balkan cuisine, big praise to the entire team!

Very tasty, we were satisfied and would highly recommend it. Thanks

Were there for the 4th time with telephone and online reservations to be on the safe side. We ordered a grilled meat plate for 4 people. Was much more than for 4 people, was much more than four people and would have easily been enough for seven people. The food was beautifully decorated and everything tasted extremely good. It won't last that long. I was extremely pleasantly surprised by the good meat I ate in the restaurant. They were also hot and sizzling and freshly fried. Definitely my new favorite place, I come there more often with my family or alone.:)

The shop was so full that we first walked around the lake. Afterwards you could sit down at dirty tables and we still waited over half an hour for our food. The salad didn't taste good, everything else was okay but not so good that we would come back again.

Top service, fair prices, highly recommended

The food tasted good, unfortunately the waiting time was a bit too long. We waited about 40 minutes for our food. What I also have as a small suggestion for improvement is that if the menu says halal, then no alcohol is sold. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and is lovingly decorated.

We wanted to reserve a table by phone two weeks in advance, were put off that we would like to reserve as soon as possible, now no one answers the phone and you can only reserve online during non-Christian times. Thank you for nothing!

Jebem vam mama pokvarenu waited over an hour and food still didn't come, I'll never go there again

Food was not seasoned appropriately, service was completely catastrophic and would not be recommended

We went there full of joy and expectations, inspired by TIK TOK! Unfortunately arrived in a very very small shop but still clean! Ordered the €200 grill plate but didn't get what was on the menu and in the video. 4 things were missing. When I asked about rice, I was told there wasn't any! No Cola just a little Sprite! You can tell that the service was annoyed and sometimes overwhelmed. A pity!!

Very tasty, nice staff, cozy, nice music

The food tastes great. The premises are too small for so many customers. But again, the food tastes great.

We visited the BalkanGrill last week and chose a table on the outdoor terrace. Ordering (in Croatian) was easy and very friendly. We had a good time outside on the terrace, as unfortunately there are no parasols/shade. There is definitely room for improvement here in the evenings, as we had to wait a while for our food. The interior is air conditioned. The food was good. We had ordered pljeskavica, cevapi and a cevapi bag. I can only warmly recommend your Balkan Grill and am already looking forward to my next visit.

Disgusting store, not to mention the hygiene, old meat is completely overpriced and you pay a lot for a dirty table, absolutely disgusting and smelly place

I ordered food and after 45 minutes of waiting they asked me what you ordered and then I had to wait some more. The staff wasn't friendly. The first and the last time

We had made a reservation for today and called again 30 minutes in advance to say we were coming. We should queue outside because there are too many guests! Sorry but the store is just too small to start advertising like that and not be able to serve the guests!!!

The food was ok. Unfortunately, you have to wait quite a long time. We took it with humor. Not a fast food restaurant, more like slow food.😂😂😂

Not recommended at all! Even though I had reserved a week in advance, they canceled me and even asked for money as a deposit. Just ridiculous!

The staff is very friendly and helpful. The ambience is fine. The food was fine, the sauces were very tasty and the fries were good. The Cevapcici were well fried, the seasoning wasn't my thing, I prefer the Greek version because of the seasoning but that's a matter of taste.

The food is great, the people who work there are super nice and the price is very good Everything is perfect except for the time it takes for the food to be ready

Owner is a bit too cheeky on the internet but RL is very meek

After we asked in the shop if we could come out, the waiter said yes, we'll come there!!! After waiting for over an hour, by chance, because another guest had just received his food, a waiter arrived !!derrr but didn't want to take our order himself. Only after I asked if we could order after an hour, the waiter said he would When you arrived inside... well, the food was ok, but for a total waiting time of 2 hours it wasn't really worth it

Grill plate really good 👍 and freshly grilled

At lunchtime we took advantage of the opportunity to eat a platter of different meat specialties with four people and were not disappointed.

There were four of us there and we ordered the grill plate for 4 people. The portion was very generous and the food was extremely tasty. We particularly enjoyed the Ćevapčići. There was something for every taste. The service was authentic and friendly.

We were there and ordered a plate of ćevape. Unfortunately, I have to say for the price I think it's a shame. You don't even get a hamrd full of fries, maybe a tablespoon of salad if you have it and 7 very small ćevape. We often go to Balkan stores and we are used to something different. But service is very good.

Respected, let me clarify the experience from Balkan Grill Asanovic, we arrived at 17:30, found a parking lot, reached the entrance at 17:40, ordered food, the food arrives at 18:45, a little too expensive for 10 cevaps on a plate, very little salad, half a spoonful of ajvar on top of a finger, chopped onion 14 a piece of fries €14 and not to miss the bun, I think it's too expensive, on average per person with a pizza it comes out to about €20, I think you could eat well somewhere else for that money, and I would like to emphasize that if you order anything in the bun, it's free side dishes are only ajvar, onion, and salad, and other side dishes, such as mayonnaise, Kecap Unrebes, and other side dishes are charged extra, I have never seen or heard of that anywhere

The restaurant food was ok but the service was terrible. We waited an hour for our order.

So the waiting time was about an hour but it was very worth it so I would always like to come back

Never again! You wait 40 minutes and are told that you didn't wait enough. By the way, drinks came 25 minutes later. We looked at the clock and didn't know of any shop that didn't bring drinks straight away. It goes without saying that when you order something, the drinks come first. As in many previous reviews, nothing happens for over 40 minutes. Everyone can't lie here. Don't worry, we definitely won't come back and we had a really nice time at Aida. By the way, we even paid for our Coke and the owner wrote that we were being cheeky if we threw in the towel and left the store after such a long time.

The food was delicious but unfortunately you have to take a lot of time and it's very slow. Zemo could also be a little friendlier

Very bad food, you order something and half of it tastes bad and the other half doesn't taste good. We paid 110 euros for what we didn't order and croquettes were delivered to us to order Very bad meat, it was all raw You can trust me, I grew up with something like that, it's disgusting!!!!!!!!!

Ferdint doesn't have a star. Very unpleasant, I waded for an hour and in the end I couldn't answer.

We were there and ordered and they said we would have to wait 40 minutes. Then they asked what we wanted to order. Not recommendable!

Waited over 40 minutes for our food. There is hard cartilage in the sausages. Overall, everything is very dry and the meat is of very poor quality, be it the sausages or the cevapcici.

The food was very tasty, we had a platter for 4 people and it would have been enough for 6 people, we can recommend this restaurant and will be happy to come back, the prices are fair for what you get there. The staff is friendly and very accommodating.

Food was super tasty. Unfortunately there was something metal-like in the flesh
