Balkan Grill Asanovic in Dortmund

Zero stars Not recommended. Grill plate for two. Looks good, but tastes like nothing. Poorly seasoned, and the meat is very tough. I doubt it's really homemade. Bread is great. Zero service, no greeting, and no one comes to the table to ask about the meal or drink. No one comes to take the payment either. This is even a criminal offense. They charge 50 cents per card payment. It's written on a small sign above the cash register. However, they don't inform you of this. It's also not visible on the receipt. Only after threatening the authorities, customs/tax office, was the bill corrected and a tip added. The report to the tax office is still sent. Given that we have about 20 customers per day, we're talking several thousand euros per year. Service: Disastrous Food: OK, but way too expensive Atmosphere: Bad Your Instagram video, which is why we came, is a complete joke.

It was super delicious. Absolutely amazing and plentiful.

Very good fresh food, good selection, freshly baked flatbread

Great service and people who work, excellent food

Unfortunately I can't rate the food because it didn't even come to that. Reserved a table for 12 people over a month ago. When we got there, we were told that all tables were occupied. So we were seated at a table outside. Really great in March when the outside temperature was 8 degrees. We then placed an order anyway, as it wasn't even started after over an hour. We left and ate at another restaurant Pure catastrophe, I've never experienced anything like it.

Waiting 1.5 hours for the food was impossible to enjoy. Impossible to communicate with the waiter.

The food was impressive due to its sheer quantity. The shop is not optimized for the fact that the shed is known on social media primarily for its huge meat platters: the three of us had to wait almost an hour for our food. The food was, above all, a lot of meat, certainly not the highest quality given the low prices, but exactly what I expect from a snack bar. Because that's what it looks like inside. Quite funny for once, but I can't say whether I'll ever go there.

A very needy snack. We were here to break the fast in Ramadan. Even though we had reserved a table, we still had to wait for it. We were in this restaurant with ten friends and each ordered a soup as a starter and a starter plate after about 15 minutes. We even got the dates 15 minutes late to break our fast. The starter plate arrived after about 35 minutes, and the soup exactly 1 hour later. The most audacious thing about the whole situation is that the waiters don't understand the German language. Even after the soups came, we asked for cutlery and the waiters couldn't understand the terms "cutlery" and "spoon". Then we started slurping the soups from the plate. Be okay with it. For the main course we ordered two mixed platters. The videos and pictures on social media are not what you actually get. The tastiest thing about the meat was really the fries. When we finally wanted to pay the bill, we explained the whole thing to the restaurateur again, but he didn't want to see anything. Anyone can have a bad evening, but as a business owner I would at least make a gesture to the customers and at least not charge for the cold soup that came an hour later. Like I said, I'm deeply upset about that evening and I'm still shaking my head. If you don't want to make the same mistake, think about a visit several times - according to the motto: quality instead of quantity.

We were at the Balkan Grill with 10 people and the experience was unfortunately a total failure. Despite making a reservation we had to wait 2 hours for our food, which is absolutely unacceptable. The store was also full of smoke and there was no proper ventilation, which made the atmosphere unpleasant. The soup came ice cold and when we asked for a discount for the cold soup there was no response whatsoever. Overall communication was very poor - when I asked for cutlery, the staff didn't even know what it was. The pictures and videos on the internet are misleading and do not reflect the reality of the restaurant. This was definitely my first and last time here. Not recommended!

Unfortunately our visit was a huge disappointment. We had reserved a table for 9 people, but were divided into different tables. We also had to wait a whole two hours for our food - even though we came to break our fast. When the food finally came, the soup was cold and the overall quality of the food was disappointing. The entire process was poorly organized and the service left a lot to be desired. Definitely not a recommendation, especially not for larger groups or special occasions!

More to appear than to be! We ordered a plate for €200, the quantity was ok, but absolutely no choice, everything tasted the same, only the consistency was variable. Service, not good as only half is understood. There were people sitting right in the entrance. Ambiance sterile. You can do it once, but we should have saved ourselves even that.

Really not recommended in terms of taste, the meat is of no quality at all.

Food was perfect. Service OK and space small but pleasant. Recommended.

Waited 45 minutes for 2 portions and the bread (Lepina) was dry and thick. Cevapcici without taste. Staff very inattentive when paying, they called out €51.50 but billed themselves €52. I can't recommend it.

Unfortunately our visit was a complete disappointment. The cevapcici were rubbery and completely tasteless - they definitely shouldn't be like that. The chicken wasn't convincing either: it had hardly any taste and was as thin as the sole of a foot. The bread is excellent though. Additionally, we had to wait a full 40 minutes between ordering and being served. There are two stars only for the somewhat pleasant ambience, but overall the restaurant is not recommended.

Very authentic restaurant. The quality of the dishes is almost perfect. Great selection and fair prices. Staff respond to individual requests. Recommended!!!

A super delicious meal, absolutely recommended 👍

The service was average - you don't have to expect a 5 star hotel here. Unfortunately, the meat left a lot to be desired: the lamb was so hard that it could hardly be cut with a knife, and the kebabs and cevapcici also seemed tough like rubber.

Everything was great and hospitable. I would love to come back

The food was really very good. Unfortunately it was very cold on site, especially after the supplier left the door open for a long time to place orders. Not very pleasant in winter... I would have liked to have asked if everything was ok or if you needed something else, but very few grill restaurants of this type have that. Otherwise everything is ok.

I was very disappointed with my visit to this restaurant. Despite making a reservation we had to wait 50 minutes for our food. The place is small and cramped, which didn't make the experience a pleasant one. Also, the knife we ​​were given wasn't clean and was way too dull, so I could barely cut. The quality of the meat was extremely poor; everything tasted the same and was missing spices. The veal was tough and had an unpleasant texture (rubbery) while the chicken breast was not seasoned at all. The portion of fries was tiny and they weren't even crispy. Overall, I cannot recommend the Titanic grill plate. I had high expectations but the food was a huge disappointment. Dessert was delicious and the staff were nice :)

Definitely recommended, the food is really delicious.

Disaster!!! Man orders 3 portions and gets 2.

We were there as a family of five for my son's birthday and ordered a platter for four people. The taste of the meat was excellent, with a very good balance of spices and salt. In addition, the portion was so generous that it would have easily been enough for 6-7 adults. The five of us didn't manage to finish the entire platter of four. However, I have to point out that the meat, especially the cheese-filled meatballs, should have been cooked a little longer. It was still a little raw inside. Furthermore, it would be better if they used sharper and more suitable knives to cut the meat. But overall, especially because of the large amount of meat, we can definitely recommend the restaurant. Also, they have started serving more customers with the newly opened seating area. There used to be only a very small seating area.

So the food was amazing, the service was also super nice, super friendly, I've rarely eaten anything so great! Keep it up, we'll be happy to come back and recommend you to others!

Only waited 20-30 minutes for a grill plate of 10 and it's definitely enough for 10 men. It's really tasty and the price is more than fair. You can hardly eat so much and tasty meat these days!

We were there today and had a reservation at 7 p.m. The staff was very friendly and the food was also very tasty. Highly recommended and we would like to go again. Hvala lijepo 😊

I've been there a few times now and will do it again and again - the food is really amazing

Went to the snack bar again and was pleasantly surprised. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. The food was very tasty, but I took it away from home. Keep up the good luck.

For me, just a ten out of ten was there with my cousin in the New Year. From A to Z everything was very, very good, from the service to the ambience, not to mention the food. Overall, very, very recommendable. Would eat again and again from Bielefeld.

Food was great...organizationally, unfortunately, there is room for improvement....the store is very small, so I would only let those in who were assigned a seat. We had to wait about 80 minutes for the food... all in all I can recommend it but I hope you work on your organization

Normally I don't give reviews but this time I really have to because one of the owners is quite snooty. The food has deteriorated extremely since the Tik Tok hype. The meat was RAW in some places. The flatbread, which used to be really tasty and fluffy, is now the opposite. Partly raw, the dough didn't rise, so the flatbread was completely flat and inedible. Before the restaurant's oh-so-big renovation and the Tik Tok hype, the food was much, much tastier. The salad that we also ordered was simply not brought. Cutlery only came to the table after the meal, the kids simply didn't receive any cutlery at all. In the past, when the food was a little more delicious, we often experienced that with the cutlery we only received the cutlery after we asked for it. The waiters are totally disorganized, don't clean the tables immediately and simply drop things on the table, such as onions, which are then simply left there and not cleaned. All in all, I will not visit the restaurant again. I didn't like it anymore.

4 people grill platter very tasty, highly recommended in Dortmund!

VERY VERY TASTY I've never eaten such juicy meat before.

Today we tested the 4-plate for the first time!! Diverse and delicious!

Not a good ambience, not a good service. Price performance is good. A lot of things taste really good or acceptable. However, the cevapcici taste fishy, ​​which is quite disgusting.

Small * bustling * sociable * delicious * feeling of home *

We were there with our soccer team. From the service to the food, everything was top 🔝…. If there were 10 stars here, I would give them too. Super tasty 😋👍👍👍

You should reserve in advance. It was very busy, but the food we ordered was brought to us quite quickly. We both had the number 44 stuffed pleskavica, with fries and salad. Plus two small flatbreads. Simply delicious! Very nice service. Will definitely come by again.

Only for people from the Balkans. Otherwise not recommended.

Letting pets into a restaurant is not a pleasant sight to see, especially while you are eating and the pet is shaking.

I was full of anticipation and drove an extra 50 km to enjoy a good meal with my family, unfortunately it wasn't worth the trip. The start was already bumpy: after 20 minutes we were informed that the menu we had ordered was sold out. Such a note should actually be made directly when ordering. The second order didn't go smoothly either. The drinks came, but in glasses with greasy fingerprints - unhygienic and simply unappetizing. After almost 40 minutes the food finally arrived, but the previously ordered sauces such as mayo and ketchup were missing. We were offered “Jupi sauce” as an alternative, which left the impression that the staff was poorly organized or poorly equipped. The entire experience just seemed unprofessional. If a restaurant claims to have basic items like sauces in stock, it should be able to deliver on that. All in all: disappointing and definitely not worth the 50 km journey. Quality and service should be urgently improved!

Everything was good so far, I just couldn't give it five stars because there was somehow a lack of peace and quiet there

We had reserved a table and still waited 40 minutes until a table was available. We placed the order beforehand, waited an hour and in the end we didn't get anything because they forgot our order.

The food looks presentable. Unfortunately, a lot of what belongs on a large grill plate was no longer available (not even Cevape, which should always be in stock). It was 70% Pljeskvica, which in the end didn't justify the price. In general, most of the drinks were no longer available. The quality wasn't right for me personally. In my opinion it wasn't worth it and the waiting times are very long.

The food wasn't spicy enough for us (but that's a matter of taste). The place was too small for the number of guests. Service good and friendly.

I was there today with two colleagues who saw it on TikTok and really wanted to try it. We first waited 20 minutes until we had a seat, then we ordered straight away. After 50 minutes there was still nothing. I asked the counter manager and he said it would take another 20 minutes, which would be okay, but everyone who came after us We had already eaten, then I went into the kitchen and asked where the food was, then the food was brought to us within 5 minutes and it was simply cold and really not edible. When I paid, I pointed it out again and there was no apology and it was simple told you It wasn't tasty, you never need to come back, it's a shame to say something like that to a paying customer. I absolutely can't recommend it

We were there for the first time. The food is served once. It is also plentiful and very tasty. Fresh bread is served with it.

It was okay, you can eat there but not more than once. In general the food was very greasy. Unfortunately you can't give that many stars for the offer. It's very narrow and it was very cold inside. There was also a corner where it was renovated, but you weren't allowed to sit there🤷‍♀️The kitchen is right there next to the tables and when you leave is, all the clothes just smell like fried food. I don't think that's great either. In the end there is no bill. Maybe if you really want one, yes, but otherwise you can forget. So I don't need to go there the second time and unfortunately I don't recommend it.

“The food was really tasty and the portions were generous. Unfortunately the staff was a bit inattentive, hence a star deduction. Still worth a visit for fans of Balkan cuisine.”

Unfortunately, a lousy shed! More appearance than reality The meat wasn't the best either - I prepare better meat myself at home

The shop is small but has a great family atmosphere. Food super tasty and prepared with heart. This is worth waiting for. Service very friendly. We were there for the first time and certainly not the last...

It's embarrassing to delete negative reviews instead of simply making more effort

One thing I can't stand is that people spend money on lawyers to have negative reviews deleted, even though they are true. Not a recommendation

My appointment was canceled just 30 minutes in advance. I had invited visitors from further afield and was suddenly told that the appointment was being canceled because meat was no longer available. A cancellation at such short notice is very disappointing and unprofessional.

Had dinner there today. The hype is definitely not worth it. When I found a hair in the food and pointed it out to the waitress, she simply replied, "Oh, that's a shame." In addition, the onions tasted rotten. Store is very small and super tight.

Food wasn't good. - A lot of the food was still pretty raw. - Taste wasn't good. - Was extremely fatty and also unseasoned. Service was okay as was the ambience, but the shop is quite small and we had to wait outside for 20 minutes in 0°. I saw the store through a YouTube video and was recommended by a few people. Unfortunately it didn't score.

Food and friendly service, but despite a reservation the table was forgotten.

The food tasted very tasty. We drove from Kassel to Dortmund just to eat this. I was very impressed by how much meat was on the platter. I would come again. I really don't understand these hate comments here. #germanyenvyland

We ordered the Titanic plate for 15 people with a total of nine people. This is definitely doable. With 15 good eaters the plate would have been a bit too small. Before that there was bread with salad. The price-performance ratio is good as one drink per person is included. Of the ten types of meat on the platter, we liked eight of them. Only the “meatballs” and the minced meat roll in bacon weren’t really our thing. Of course everyone has their own taste. Since there is an open kitchen, there is an extremely strong smell of (greasy) food. You definitely have to wash your clothes after your visit. It was also relatively loud, but bearable. It was also a shame that our table was given away straight away. Unfortunately we hadn't been told this beforehand, which meant our stay ended relatively abruptly. Since the new guests waited right outside the door and watched us until we left the restaurant, we didn't want to linger any longer. The size of the plates also makes the media hype understandable.

Super delicious food. Meat, salads etc very tasty. Service was friendly. Highly recommended.

I have never eaten such delicious cevape ❤️

Were there for the first time, the food was very tasty, we will definitely go there again, the 130 kilometers were definitely worth it 😊😊👍👍😋😋

I will write in Serbian, because many of our people are coming and they shouldn't be! The last time we poisoned ourselves! From that evening, vomiting, diarrhea, belching continued the next day..we took the temperature and my husband and I were over 37.FOOD POISONING! It's no use answering and writing here now, who knows what you're doing with the meat! We will report you to the competent services and thank God that there are reviews, that other people can see and that they don't get poisoned here!

The three of us had lunch at Asanovic's, very tasty and very nice people. We'll be back. We came especially from Herford. Thanks and see you soon :-)

Everything was great, the food was super tasty and there was a lot 👍 I would be happy to come back again.

Small, therefore few tables. It's better to call in advance or reserve straight away. The kitchen is right next to the seating area and is not separated. Therefore, after leaving there is a strong smell and the clothes need to be washed. The prices are quite ambitious, a bit of kajmak that could perhaps be enough for five cevaps costs almost 6 euros. Elsewhere, a kebab that fills you up costs that much. The food tastes good, I can't say anything negative about it. The table was clean and the waiting time for the food was ok.

Finally I no longer have to drive all the way to Serbia just to eat good pljeslavica and cevapcici. I have everything here

Staff very unfriendly! Never again 🥵🥵🥵

We were there with a group of 10 people and made a reservation in advance. Unfortunately, the overall experience was mixed. The service was hardly present, which made ordering and service a bit tedious. Unfortunately the toilet was dirty and there was no paper left either. Unfortunately, some of the food was cold and after we had eaten most of it, we were immediately asked to leave because the table had already been reserved. Luckily there were packs so you could take the leftovers with you. It didn't suit my taste, the side salad consisted mainly of onions... I personally would have liked a little more cucumber and tomato. It might work better for smaller groups, but unfortunately it wasn't ideal for us, so I'm only giving it 2 stars.

I saw you in tiktok and came a long way from the motorway, when I arrived the food arrived after 1 hour and then they forgot bread, and then it took another 30 minutes to wash the bread 🤦 and out of 7 people one brought bread 🤣 to us Balkanese brought a bread (leponja) to 7 people, they didn't cook it at all, and then the meat came, sorry bro this meat with us In Pazar there is a lot more delicious than yours, you have to offer everything handmade and not ready-made dishes, I have never seen such a bad shop, sorry but never again, what I liked are the pictures in them, the equipment, the rest of 1- 10 a clear 1 👎 doesn't even deserve a star

I think the store doesn't live up to its hype... the employees are unfriendly and the prices don't do that!

Absolutely authentic cuisine, nice ambience and cevapcici that are second to none, WORLD CLASS…can only be recommended ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Not a long wait, food was great.

Grill plate 35,- for 1 person... crazy

Were there on Sunday lunchtime, unfortunately full. But luckily something became available quickly. Ordered the platter for 4 people. The HAMMA!! Absolutely plentiful (even too much) and delicious. Absolutely recommended but it is better to reserve in advance..

The food is delicious and a plate for 2 people is easily enough for 3 people. Staff could be a little more present. We'll definitely be back

Small, fine “restaurant”. Not the food that is available on every corner. Large selection of starters which are all fresh and delicious. The bread is totally fluffy and delicious. Afterwards, three good eaters couldn't get the grill plate open for two. Only the music is a bit loud but that's a matter of taste.

nothing special. Doner around the corner from me tastes better.

Ladies and Gentlemen I would like to lodge a complaint about my visit to the Balkan Grill Asanovic restaurant in Dortmund. Unfortunately, my experience was anything but satisfactory. Firstly, the wait for our food was way too long. We had to wait an excessively long time which made the entire evening unpleasant. Secondly, I found the prices for the food offered to be overpriced, especially considering the quality we received. Finally, the staff were very rude and seemed uninterested in making our visit pleasant.

It was very good, everyone was very nice. Small snack but still nicely done. Food quality and taste great

The food and service is excellent

Great food! Delicious Nice staff Fast and flexible! Always my pleasure Thanks for the hospitality

By far the best Balkan food in Germany!

Excellent food, decent price for every praise and recommendation.

I was there the day before yesterday and ate there. After a long journey we were finally there. The joy was great but the disappointment was greater. Ordered the record for €110. Overall the taste is not good. Some of the meat was raw and the fries were hard. The staff is only focused on money. The next day comb the surprise diarrhea vomiting, stomach cramps sweating. After I went to a doctor he said it could be food poisoning. This is now being tested and I will inform the health department. Not recommended more appearance than reality.

Excellent Balkan specialties!! The food and service were excellent!! We came especially from Hanover and would do it again and again. The cevape are the best in town!

Very good food and very nice service. I drove from Kassel to Dortmund and I can only recommend it! There is nothing to fog up, a very clean shop! There is always cleaning and the food is 100% fresh, you can taste it

Great people in the store. You get a very family feeling. Ate Cevape for the first time and it tasted great. The bread was very soft and went very well with the cevape.

The food is all delicious, there's really nothing to complain about, it's just a shame that they only have a few places during the winter when you can't sit outside, otherwise everything is great, the staff tries to please everyone 👍

It was great, the employees were super friendly!

The food was great, the location wasn't designed for the rush of people, but the Asanovic team really tried to please everyone We felt really well looked after The bread and other delicacies were really a dream We drove from Essen to Dortmund and the journey was really worth it I can only recommend it Thanks to the Asanovic team🫵😎👍🎈

Unfortunately not tasty, I expected more. Consistency rubbery. We ordered 2 takeaway meals. The side dishes were forgotten for both. Unfortunately it ended up in the trash

Unfortunately, a big disappointment!!! They are very disorganized! I reserved a table, I came with my family 100 km from another city, they left us standing and waiting for 15 minutes just like that, then we waited for an hour for our order because they "forgot" us, and when the food came, everything was incomplete. we had to call again for everything, because they forgot. And people who didn't have a reservation and just came as they were, got a table before us and a meal, they ate and we didn't even get a meal. It's a shame, but that's right! We will never doc again, because it is a big disrespect!!!

So I think it's the biggest fool there is. I wanted to try and see if there was such a bad review, I noticed rightly. I have never had such poor quality meat. No ventilation in the store and no good organization. So actually -1 .

I've been a repeat offender here, 3 times so far. If you like meat, this is the place for you. Large or oversized portions, grill plate for 2 people is also easily enough for 3... We did it :-) Best regards Knut

Reserved for 15 people, no cancellation by phone, cancellation found out on site, email with the cancellation sent to me 15 minutes in advance, laughed at and treated rudely, no apology, nothing The last load. Never again !!!!!!!!!

If you want meat-heavy food, this is the place for you. However, you should avoid extras. For example, a small bowl of bitter-tasting onions was charged €2. A dollop of extra sauce costs €1. The food itself is good. Still won't come back.

Simply the greatest rubbish, far too long of a waiting time, you should be able to organize yourself better in order to run a business at all.

We arrived at the restaurant today at 1:45 p.m. At first we didn't know where to sit because the place was so crowded. Once we got the table where we could sit down, we first waited 20 minutes for the menu. After we got the menu we waited for over 1 hour. The food was delicious, but I don't know if it was worth waiting so long. Really disappointed.
