Balkan Hof in Duisburg

Great restaurant with Slavic in Flare Large portions for fair prices. A little taste trip to the Balkans.

Great restaurant, obviously very well known in the region - during the week on a normal Tuesday there was already a lot of activity here in the afternoon. We ate very well and plentifully, the service was nice, the selection was huge. The interior is a bit old, but that's not a problem. You sit comfortably and it's just a pleasant atmosphere.

Yes, we ate well. Can be further recommended. Staff friendly. The interior design is wonderful. If you want to sit outside you can, but you have to expect street noise. But it's also beautifully decorated outside. The portions are large. The quality was still lacking for me, which is why I only gave it 4 stars. But that shouldn't stop anyone from visiting this restaurant. Because it is definitely recommended.

Yes, you can recommend it without hesitation... good food for decades... an institution!

Very tasty, large portion for a fair price. It's a bit noisy in the restaurant due to the circumstances, but I'll still enjoy eating there again and again. I could hardly decide on the menu.

The food is very inexpensive and consistently good. The service is very attentive and friendly.

I've been eating there for over 20 years and it's still good

Very nice location. Portions are very good, quality exceptional, and the staff totally professional and friendly.

Food and ambience were very good Nice and friendly staff

The service is attentive and quick, the salad buffet is great so everyone can take what they like. When eating, the salmon was great, but the meat on the grill was too “done” and therefore quite dry. The atmosphere is rustic, typically Balkan.

Very nice restaurant with great service. The ambiance perfectly reflects what makes Croatians so special. I'd happily return.

A great restaurant with friendly staff. The food was delicious and the portions were generous.

Huge selection and delicious food. The only drawback: Unfortunately very hard benches, which have virtually no padding.

The food was delicious, The service was very attentive and friendly. All in all, it was a very successful evening.

Top. Good food. Friendly staff. Recommended.

Recommended, only the salad buffet at the entrance??? A bit tight.

Best food and quite reasonable prices.

Delicious Balkan dishes. Very reasonable prices. Large portions. Attentive, friendly service.

Were invited to dinner with a lot of people. The air wasn't too warm at all, no ventilation. As always, I ordered the grill plate. I have to say this time, I wasn't completely satisfied. Fries still not crispy, pork too dry, but cevapcici very good. Salad was very good, this time the liver and the small fillet were missing, but the price was significantly increased from last year, but the food still came quickly. I'll do another test meal in due course and then decide whether I'll come back. Was there again for a test meal, all I can say is that the grill plate came pretty quickly, but the fries were again McDonald quality, again not recommended. Either the plate has become smaller or the amount of meat has been reduced, which is a shame. Too expensive at €19.50. Staff friendly.

During my first two visits about 4 years ago I was very dissatisfied. Because of an invitation, I went there again and my impression was confirmed again: the service is fast but routine. No smile, no kind word... pure dismissal. The food is on the table quickly, but you definitely save on quality. The fries are lukewarm to cold and the meat is generally tough. It is probably kept warm for a long time so that it can end up on the plate quickly. The salad bar is well equipped and is regularly refilled. The restaurant is rather noisy, but there is a cozy atmosphere. At least, if you ignore the many stamens and the dust in general... The price of the restaurant is relatively low. A meat dish and three beers for a total of under €30 is totally ok. But not if you have to let the food go back almost completely because it just doesn't taste good. Too bad, not an insider tip.

Friendly staff, extensive menu, salad buffet. Good price/performance ratio. Table reservations for the weekend are recommended.

Unfortunately it wasn't a great experience. The service was subpar. The jackets hadn't been taken off yet and the gentleman was standing at the table with a pen and piece of paper and wanted to take the order. No mention of the salad bar. In the end we sat at the table for over 20 minutes and it wasn't cleared away. We weren't asked if everything was OK or if we had anything else we wanted. Unfortunately, the food was just so-so and not of good quality. Unfortunately only quantity instead of quality.

Oh well. Very popular, always full, staff attentive. A little more effort with the food and this would be a great restaurant. 🙂

Very good food, drinks could be checked more often. Limited internship opportunities

Food great! Service very good! Really fair value for money!

Waiters attentive and friendly. Food came quickly and was very tasty 😋

Very nice and solid on 2 floors. You definitely have to book in advance, otherwise you won't get a seat on the weekend. It should also be well filled during the week.

Our 'house and farm Croatian' had no space left and we were looking for an alternative. The first contact on the phone was friendly, courteous and the table was quickly reserved. The ambience is appropriate and you sit in a niche separated from other tables, which gives privacy in the rather large restaurant. The restaurant was very full that evening. The unobtrusive waiter was there quickly and took our order without any time pressure. However, he was unobtrusively always there when we needed him. The food actually came very quickly and was good! The meat was as ordered and quite good quality. The piece of steak was very good. I would like to highlight the extensive salad bar. There were certainly good vinegars and oils to choose from in addition to various dressings. I didn't know that yet! Since we were sitting not far away, we also noticed that there was a young Dane who was in charge of the salad bar. She checked them regularly, cleaned them and put every cutlery back neatly. Top! If there was something to criticize, I would mention the pepper sauce that I ordered: in my opinion, it was a not so tasty finished product. I may be wrong - next time I visit I would try something different. Finally, the price/performance ratio: very good and we paid less than expected. We drove a few kilometers to the restaurant and will happily keep this restaurant as a good alternative.

Service zero points 😃 food could be eaten 😃

Food super tasty and fresh. Service great. Ambience nice

Cozy restaurant, huge selection, mostly best quality, very friendly service. Simply great.

Very tasty food, good selection

Highly recommended..staff super nice..had pre-ordered for a celebration and the table was beautifully set.

We had a nice meal there and had delicious food. The service was very friendly and helpful. Food was good so that everyone was full. I would love to come back to you. All in all, a very good B+ from me.

Wasn't my taste. Waiter seems dismissive.

The food is just perfect, super nice service

Super friendly service, the food was very tasty and the KöPi was well tapped. The Balkan Hof is always recommended.

More mass instead of class. We won't be visiting the restaurant again. Unfortunately

I can highly recommend the Balkan Hof! The food was super tasty, the staff was very nice and friendly and the atmosphere was great too! 5 stars 👍🏻😎🥳

Very nice staff, very tasty food and very good portions.

Delicious food, fast service, nice atmosphere

We really enjoy going here. Tasty with a good price/performance ratio

Go there more often because it tastes good

High-quality, professional staff; the food is great; absolutely nothing was disturbing.

We didn't have a reservation and were warmly welcomed with good and quick service. The staff was very accommodating and the quality of the food was good!

A well-run family business. Fast service and large portions. All of this at an acceptable price level. Reconfirmed again today. Just perfect. We felt comfortable as always!

Simply great. Quickly and deliciously prepared food at a good price. Good and experienced service and great furnishings with attention to detail ♥️

First class cuisine and staff. We felt really comfortable here.

Great restaurant, good atmosphere, can only recommend. 👍

Good restaurant with good food. Always well attended, so there is often a certain amount of noise. Service is also good. Advance reservation is recommended.

Ein Top Restaurant mit grossen Portionen und angemessenen Preisen. Zudem schmeckt es hier immer sehr gut. Es gibt viel Auswahl auf der grossen Speisekarte. An einer Salatbar können sie sich ihren eigenen Salat zusammen stellen.

Very tasty food. Fast service. Short waiting time for the food.

Very nice atmosphere. Food was very tasty and filling. Were there as a company. They were very accommodating. Nice friendly staff. Is very well attended. Speaks for itself.

Top service Delicious Very nice

We enjoyed it. The service was friendly and attentive.

Really great shop with great food. Reservations always make sense!

Great value for money! The food is always good and plentiful, the service is always very friendly and quick. The salad bar is great. Only the beer is bad... It's just not my taste.

The food was very good and the interior is very nice.

The "classic" Balkan restaurant with dishes such as cevapcici, raznjici or shashlik, but also Zurich Geschnetzeltes or Wienerschnitzel is available here. Everything was very tasty and a fresh salad from the buffet was included! Service and friendliness very good! Prices reasonable!

A long-established, good Balkan restaurant with a cozy atmosphere... it was very full, nan was greeted politely and escorted to a vacant seat. The waiters were extremely friendly and helpful. The portions of food we ordered were very large, prepared very tasty, and you could put together your own side salad at the salad buffet. A visit to this restaurant will not be the last. Highly recommended, and in summer you can also sit outside!

Always very tasty. And that's been the case for 30 years. We keep coming back

As always, delicious, plentiful and good food at fair prices including friendly service 😀👍 Always happy to come back - thank you 🍀€99 for 4 main dishes and 5 drinks on Christmas Day 2024!

We were there on Boxing Day. Full hut, all tables occupied. Pure stress for the Balkan Hof team. But the employees didn't notice it. As always, very, very friendly waiter, drinks and food came super quickly. A subsequent special request at the next table was fulfilled immediately. As always, we really enjoyed the food itself. For 3 people grill plate/grill plate, wine, beer & cola for €75. Great! Thank you for the lovely evening

5/5 - Authentic and absolutely recommended! A Balkan restaurant that exceeds all expectations. The meat was simply outstanding: spicy, juicy and perfectly cooked. The portions are huge - ideal for anyone who likes to eat a lot and eat well. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, always eager to welcome us and fulfill our every need. You can feel the real passion for the work and the sincere care for the guests. And the prices? Absolutely unbeatable for the quality and quantity of food on offer. An authentic place where tradition and hospitality come together. I'm already looking forward to the next visit!

Were there for the first time today and I have to say the food was top, everything was prepared to perfection and tasted excellent as well as generous portions, I would even give 10 stars for the ambience, I can only recommend it, top gastronomy at its best and the service and friendliness is hard to beat. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👌

Beautiful restaurant with very good service and excellent food. What we got was delicious.

Thank you very much for the good and friendly cooperation.

They know how gastronomy works. I was there 40 years ago and for me it was the best grilled dish in the Ruhr area.

Riesige Portionen und lecker. Teils sehr fettig, aber das weiß man ja, wenn man im Balkan essen geht. Aus meiner Sicht könnten die Portionen aber kleiner sein, dann müsste nicht so viel weggeworfen werden. Empfehlenswert. Freundlicher und aufmerksamer Service.

Tasty, friendly, good value for money. Recommendation.

The evaluation relates to what the Balkan Court wants to represent. Traditional cuisine, large portions with a good price-performance ratio. I also have nothing to complain about when it comes to service and ambience.

Friendly service and a very nice atmosphere. Had dinner with my work colleagues in the evening. It was very good and the price/performance ratio was also right. I'd love to come back.

Bodenständige Balkankost und sonstige internationale Küche

Large portions and it tastes good too, but you should be a meat lover. It's also nice that a rich salad from the buffet is included in the price of the meal. I also liked the Croatian side dish rice with ajvar, especially because it wasn't completely overcooked as is often the case in other Balkan restaurants. If there is anything left over from the generous portions, you can easily have the leftovers packed up. The staff is very child-friendly. As is the case everywhere in the catering industry, the prices have risen, but are still reasonable for what is on offer.

I've been going there regularly since 2009 and am satisfied as always. You also have to show understanding to the wait staff, they are just people who try to make it as pleasant as possible for the guests. If the restaurant is full at peak times, they don't always have the time to quickly take care of a guest's wishes, but they do so promptly. In addition, the entire team is always friendly, no matter how much stress they are under. I can't understand some of the comments here. I just say friendly, accommodating and always an alternative solution if someone doesn't like something and respectful treatment of the guests. Most guests should also provide this to those working there.

We have been visiting this restaurant for many years. The dishes are delicious and rich. Good eaters will definitely get their fill here. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The only point deducted is that non-alcoholic drinks like Cola, Fanta and Sprite taste “stale” to me. I couldn't detect any carbon dioxide in these drinks. I tried again several times, but the result remained "stale". Since then I have been drinking mineral water from small bottles there. Update from December 8th, 2024 with current photo: Unfortunately, the pepper skewer today was not of the usual quality. Unfortunately the meat was like rubber! I won't order the skewer there again. For today's meal I give a maximum of 3 stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 which is already very generous.

The BBQ Company Star Grill – where smoke becomes magic and the grill becomes the stage for real masterpieces! It's not just a place to grill - it's where steaks are perfected, burgers are stacked like works of art and ribs are refined with the dedication of a star chef. This grill school is not only the best, but also the funniest: Anyone who has ever seen a grill master make a “meat sweat” in the middle of turning a steak knows that learning here is as fun as a summer evening with friends. From beginners to BBQ professionals - everyone learns here that a well-grilled steak is better than a red certificate. And once you have mastered the “star embers technique”, you can officially declare yourself a BBQ artist. The BBQ Company Sternen Grill is more than a school - it's the place where you go from being a beginner to becoming a grilling guru. Just be careful: after a course here, everyone will want to invite you to a barbecue! Conclusion: Come hungry, leave happy - and never let the grill out of your sight again!

We had a lovely celebration and the service and food were really great! 👍🏼🍻

It was great, unfortunately very loud because it was very full. The rest is great.

We went here for dinner with the family last night. It was worth it again. The food came very quickly, and the highlight was once again the salad bar, where you can put together your own salad. The service was very friendly, the prices were fair.

Nice outdoor area, friendly service, good food, price-performance ratio is right. Clean toilet facility

Bis zur Coronakriese ging ich hier regelmäßig essen. Werde dies auch nach der 2. Impfung wieder tun. Es empfiehlt sich vorher einen Tisch zu reservieren da es immer gut gefüllt mit hungrigen Gästen ist. Das Essen ist 1A und auch nicht zu teuer. Egal was bisher bestellt wurde es ist immer eine Gaumenfreude gewesen. Das Ambiente des Restaurants ist stimmig und die Kellner sind nicht nur super freundlich und aufmerksam sondern wissen auch was sie tun. Sobald der Tisch reserviert wurde stieg jedesmal die Vorfreude auf das leckere Essen. Und freue mich auch schon auf eine hoffentlich baldige Rückkehr. Wer hier noch nicht essen war sollte es definitiv in Erwägung ziehen dies zu tun. Parkplätze sind hinter dem Restaurant zu finden und die U79 hält auch in der nähe.

Extremely interesting and nice place, great decoration and lovely atmosphere. Add to this nice food and good service. I have friends who tell me they have been regularly going there for years. Loved it.

Everything is great here in the Balkanhof Large portions, the service from the staff is impeccable. Every wish is fulfilled, the ambience is rustic and beautifully decorated. What I can recommend is Jägerschnitzel and tagliatelle with salmon and what also tasted very good was the homemade herb butter. All in all very very good. Will be happy to come back

Very busy restaurant with a large selection of food. We are there several times a year and can only recommend it. Reservation required

Unfortunately I don't have anything good to say. We ate there with 6 people. Let's start with the salad buffet... tasteless, warm bowls!?! Main course: Cecapcici raw, very thin meat on the grill plate, not well cooked, cold vegetable plate, cold sauce with it... Mezzomix without carbon dioxide. We left almost full plates behind. We were asked whether it tasted good...unfortunately not at all. The waiter wasn't interested! Never again...the other reviews were written by the staff themselves!

The food was mediocre to OK Unfortunately, I wasn't relaxed due to the service and the size of the restaurant.

Been there very often. Everything is always great 😋 and the service is always friendly. Special requests will be taken into account. They are great tasty dishes. The salad bar is always well stocked, even late at night. I really enjoy going there. Keep it up.

We were there with a larger group after a hike. The food is typical of these types of restaurants. Very rich, meat is absolutely OK, vegetarian options could be offered a little more. Salads standard. Service friendly, a bit disorganized.

We had our food quickly and it tasted good.

An institution in the south of Duisburg. The quality has been consistently good for over 40 years

Very clean and very friendly and of course very good food

Tasted very good...service staff very attentive

The quality of the food corresponds to the price.

Beautiful restaurant and unique service and good food at a fair price, simply top

Service was friendly, the food was good. Everything okay. Always happy to come there again.

Very good food. Very competent and friendly staff. Top

Always my pleasure. Very polite and super tasty

The food is very tasty and good. The waiters are attentive and really friendly. You can tell they love their job. Prices are affordable.
