Restaurant Balkan in Magdeburg

The best restaurant in Magdeburg.

Es ist einfach nur asozial und zeugt nicht von Gastfreundlichkeit, wenn ein Restaurant geschlossen hat, OBWOHL es laut Google und Tripdadvisor geöffnet. Und es ausserdem am Eingang ein MEGA-Banner hat: „Geöffnet von Montag bis Sonntag bis 22 Uhr.“ Einfach nur Mist so was…

I got to know this restaurant through our Lucullus tour, which I can only recommend to everyone. Typically Bulgarian culinary specialties, very nice and funny service. Price performance ratio 👍

Very nice quier corner and delicious food

Very polite staff, nice terrace and delicious food

Great service :) and delicious food 🥘. I can only recommend the restaurant.

The food is delicious and very fresh. It's nice to sit outside in the summer. The service is good and fast. The service is very talkative. There is also a good selection of vegetarian dishes.

We ate there yesterday and loved it. The food was very tasty, the service was very good. What more do you want.

Super delicious, light cuisine, everything was very tasty, great service and the prices are OK too. Anytime again 🤩

We'd love to come back! The Magdeburgers from Bielefeld and Minden.

I can't understand the good reviews at all. Proud prices for little quality. Unfortunately, we were not received and served in a hospitable manner that day. When we wanted to pay by card, they said (verbatim) “always this sh.... Card payment”. Conclusion: not recommended

Great place for authentic food which is kind of rare by now

Super delicious food and nice staff and always a new freshly baked cake 😘👍

Incredibly delicious food! Service is super friendly. Next time I'd be happy to do it again

We spontaneously went to eat in the restaurant. We were completely satisfied. The food was super tasty. The dessert is also recommended. The owner was very friendly and accommodating. The food is homemade and prepared with a lot of love. We can recommend it 100%.

Very intensive prices, very friendly service, great portions

Full of anticipation, because of the great reviews, I stopped in transit. Unfortunately, the waitresses and owners spoke little to no German. Water was ordered without carbonation and it came with carbonation. The food was okay, but nothing special. The right thing wasn't brought there either. Therefore only 3 stars.

We were at the zoo in Magdeburg today and wanted to go out for dinner afterwards. Unfortunately - or fortunately - it was around 2:30 p.m. and most restaurants closed in the afternoon. So our path took us to the Balkans. An authentic, super tasty Bulgarian restaurant. The food was great, the service was great and the boss was absolutely authentic. Even extra requests (dividing the children's food on two plates) were no problem. When we are back in Magdeburg, we will definitely come here again.

We enjoyed excellent Bulgarian cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere. With a very friendly hostess.

Deliciosa comida de Bulgaria y alrededores. Delicious Bulgarian food. Very nice service

A really quaint and cozy restaurant. There are Bulgarian things hanging everywhere, and all the furnishings are very authentic. The operator is also great. She took some time and chatted with us. Everything is prepared totally fresh and it was very delicious. We will be back definitely.

Totally classy. Delicious cuisine, great staff and fun atmosphere. +5 stars. Thank you and see you next time 👍🏼

Everything was very tasty and we had a good time, thank you very much for the lovely evening...we took the chocolate cake with us, it was a pleasure...lg😉

Very nice service, great food - also for vegetarians ;) in a traditional Bulgarian flair! Recommended!

We were there for dinner as a larger group with children and a dog. There were toys for the little ones. The service was very warm. The food was tasty and the portions were sufficient. Always happy!

Super nice service, the food is delicious, the room concept is also very well thought out, invites you to come back...see you soon🤗

Good food, great wine. Very friendly service. We were here twice at the weekend. THANKS

Very expensive. We were there at Easter and almost all of the dishes were just €1-3 more expensive than on the normal menu. The staff was a bit overwhelmed with our table (sometimes needed 2-3 reminders to bring drinks and other things). Food was good, portions for the price of €24.90 were okay.

Mega delicious food, very nice service. We recommend!

Six of us came from the Palatinate and had reserved because we were visiting our son. Unfortunately there was no information about a very limited Easter menu, which we didn't think was ok because our son is a vegetarian. Despite everything, the food was okay and everyone still found something on the small, limited menu. What surprised us is that after we paid the bill we didn't even have a small digestive schnapps Have been offered a restaurant. It's actually normal here for us to give a small round on the house. We then asked and the boss just laughed and said it doesn't exist here. It's ok, but she came across as quite arrogant - even though the bill for 6 people wasn't small and there was a really generous tip. Next time we're in the area I would definitely choose a different restaurant.

Tasty and friendly. Everything in the owner's own hands

Everything delicious. Except that it was very cold, i.e. the heating wasn't on.

Nice friendly place. Tasty food. Nice staff. Relaxed atmosphere.

Very friendly service and the meat tastes great 👍

Great restaurant, great food. If you want something other than Greek but aren't necessarily keen on experimenting, you'll easily find what you're looking for here! I can't understand the reviews that complain about how long it takes to prepare it. Be happy that everything is freshly prepared. If you want fast food that is ready to serve as soon as you order, go to McDonalds! However, if you show up at a somewhat unusual time (around 4 p.m.), you will get an annoyed look from the boss and an announcement to "Sit there" in an extremely rude tone. Oh well.

The food tastes like it’s homemade! The atmosphere and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. You feel like you’re at your grandma’s home.

A nice atmosphere here. The staff is very friendly and the waitress was very accommodating. The salad dressing tasted very good and everything was very freshly prepared. We ordered grilled chicken breast, potatoes with rosemary and a tomato sauce with zucchini and peppers. It all tasted very good. The second main meal was chicken casserole with mushrooms. Also delicious. We also enjoyed elderberry and strawberry homemade lemonades. Gladly again

We were warmly welcomed and were able to choose a table. First we ordered a starter with feta, olives and pepperoni. But someone else was brought. With egg feta and olives. I wouldn't have ordered it that way, but it was delicious. The main course was ok. I wasn't impressed with the taste. The zazaki was quite good. We then ordered dessert. Cake made from waffles and caramel. Delicious. In terms of price, the restaurant is in the upper range. Since we didn't enjoy it 100%, we don't know if we'll eat there again.

Food tastes good. Service friendly but trying to make money. €8.90 for 1 bottle of 1L mineral water!?

It may not be the trendiest restaurant in town, but it is one of the most authentic. We were actually drawn to this restaurant by the smell of delicious food after visiting the neighboring playground a few times. Our expectations for delicious food were more than met. Finally authentic, homemade, traditional food again and NOTHING that is just quick and better fast food tailored to the German palate, as you can now get from almost every Greek in the city. There are fresh ingredients on the plate here; crunchy grilled vegetables, tender meat, delicious, well-seasoned sauces. The chocolate cake based on the house grandmother's recipe is also highly recommended. During the meal there are interesting conversations with the extremely friendly service, short anecdotes from home and about the traditional dishes. The entire restaurant is very clean, the toilets are wheelchair accessible, and wheelchair users should also be able to move through the premises without any problems. Everything is also available for the hygienic care of the little ones, there is plenty of space for changing diapers on a stable, fold-out changing table and a toilet attachment is available for the slightly older kids. As we now know, after romping around the neighboring playground, you can quickly grab an ice cream in your hand without having to sit down and eat the same size; All warm dishes are also available to take away if required, even spontaneously if the little ones are perhaps no longer in such a good mood. In any case, we felt completely comfortable, left the restaurant more than full and happy, and all for a fair price. We will definitely come back and would like to bring our best friends and/or family with us next time.

A warm and cozy restaurant. You feel at home. The menu has a good selection. Customer requests are also taken into account and fulfilled. Very nice service. Благодаря/Благодарю 😊

Very pleasant atmosphere, lovely staff who take the time to have a personal chat. The food is freshly prepared and delicious! I'd love to come back. :)

Very gross. The food was fresh and we made everything ourselves, including Ajvar. Very very tasty. Grilled dishes would be so smokey and so wonderful ❤️

Exzellentes essen, nette Bedienung!

Yesterday we ordered a table for two people for 18⁰⁰ today. We were warmly welcomed and were able to choose one of two tables shown. The furnishings/decoration were typically Bulgarian, the menu isn't too big, so you don't have to spend ages thinking about what to eat. The service was very warm. Food was delicious. There is nothing to criticize. We'd love to come back.

Very nice restaurant ☺️ great food and super friendly staff 😊 since we have our daughter we often go there to eat after a walk

Ein super tolles Restaurant freundliche Bedienung das Essen sau lecker wir kommen wieder

Ausgezeichnete Küche! Das Fleisch ist frisch und von bester Qualität, würde dieses Lokal jedem Fleischliebhaber empfehlen.

Wir waren am 2. Weihnachtstag im Balkan. Es gab lediglich eine sogenannte Weihnachtskarte, das heißt: Die umfangreiche reguläre Menükarte war drastisch auf lediglich sieben oder acht Speisenangebote zusammengestrichen worden. Die Preise dieser Minikarte aber waren, im Vergleich zur regulären Menükarte, drastisch erhöht! Bei der Reservierung wurde diese Weihnachtsgeschäftsmasche nicht erwähnt. Das ist sehr schlechter Stil: Wir kommen kein zweites Mal.

Waren Mittagessen. Hat allen von Kind bis ü70 super lecker geschmeckt. Super nettes Team. Bestimmt bald wieder.

Mit einer der besten Restaurants in Magdeburg. Ein großes Lob dafür!!!

Meine Kollegen haben für mich die Lukullus-Tour gebucht, diese endete hier. Das alte Sprichwort: "Das Beste kommt zum Schluss" hat sich wieder einmal bewahrheitet. Der bulgarische Grillteller für "echte" Männer war sehr lecker. Toll gewürzt und die Kartoffeln - Klasse. Die Gastwirtsfamilie ist sehr nett, aufmerksam und auch gerne bereit etwas zum Essen und aus der Heimat zu erzählen. Ich kann das Restaurant sehr empfehlen. Danke für den schönen Abend.

Divno osoblje restorana i ukusna hrana, topla preporuka svima da posete ovaj restoran. 😊

Ein sehr schönes gemütliches Restaurant in Magdeburg. Ohne Vorbestellung bekamen wir einen Tisch. Das Essen war schnell da und schmeckte super! Wir kommen bald wieder!

Mal ein ganz neuer Geschmack. Sehr lecker und mal ganz anders gewürzt. Ich kenne mich mit der bulgarischen Küche nicht aus, aber ich kann es nur weiterempfehlen.

Exzellente Gerichte. Gute Auswahl. Freundliche und kompetente Bedienung

Sehr gutes Essen netter Betreiber

Absolute Wohlfühlatmosphäre, man fühlt sich gut umsorgt die nette Kellnerin empfängt einen so herzlich, das man denkt man sei von der Familie eingeladen wurden. Die Karte ist nicht überladen und bietet Fleisch bis zum abwinken. Es war nicht das erste und auch nicht das letzte Mal dort

Wir haben selten so gut gegessen wie in diesem Restaurant. Alle Mitarbeiter waren super freundlich und aufmerksam ohne zu bedrängen. Das Essen war der Hammer. Ich würde jeder Zeit wieder kommen, am liebsten gleich morgen. Ich war danach glücklich, zufrieden und satt. Der Schopskasalat hat mich sofort in meine Kindheit im Urlaub in Bulgarien zurück versetzt. Auf jeden Fall ein Besuch wert.

Wir sind auf gut Glück ins Balkan gegangen, ohne vorher ein Tisch für zwei zu reservieren und wurden umgehend an einen sehr schönen Tisch in einer kleinen Nische begleitet. Die Angestellten und vor allem der Wirt waren super freundlich und aufmerksam. Das Essen war von der Vorspeise bis zum selbst gebackenen Kuchen zum Nachtisch wirklich hervorragend, ebenso wie der Service. Wir sind uns ziemlich sicher das wir nicht das letzte Mal dort gegessen haben und bald wieder dort einkehren werden.

Immer eieder ein schönes Gefühl dort essen zu dürften..tolle Bedienung und super tolles Essen..

Leckere selbstgemachte Speisen mit einer unterhaltsamen Wirtin, die viel aus ihrem Leben und aus ihrer Heimat berichtet. Das war ein gelungener Aufenthalt. Wir waren mit einer kulinarischen Tour zu Gast und kommen ganz bestimmt wieder.

Leckeres Essen. Freundliche Bedienung. Es wirkt alles sehr familiär. Kann ich nur empfehlen.

Sehr leckeres Essen. Frisch gekocht und nett serviert. Wir gehen gern im Balkan essen und können es zu 100% weiterempfehlen.

Liebevoll trodionell eingerichtetes, sehr sauberes Restaurant läd ein zum verweilen. Die Kellnerin ist sehr herzlich, lieb und fürsorglich. Traditionelle Kleidung und Musik runden den gesamten Eindruck ab. Die Speisen sind üppig und äußerst wohlschmeckend. Speisen und Gewürze sind harmonisch aufeinander abgestimmt. Selbstgemachte Torten und Eisbecher krönen den Nachtisch. Gesamt Eindruck sehr zu empfehlen

Essen hervorragend, Service auch, Ambiente landestypisch - wie ein kleiner Urlaub 😀 Wir waren mi 10 Personen zum Abendessen dort, Superstimmung, der Inhaber erklärt die Speisekarte mit sehr viel Esprit da alles liebevoll selbst zubereitet wird, Brot backen die Beschäftigten auch selbst. Man sollte es wirklich mal probieren.

Wir gehen in unserer Mädelsrunde immer einmal im Monat essen. Und diesen Monat haben wir uns durch die Empfehlung einer Freundin für das Restaurant "Balkan" entschieden.👌👍Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Das Essen war super lecker und hat sehr an die traditionelle bulgarische Küche erinnert. Leider war das Restaurant sehr leer, was für den Betreiber sicher sehr schade ist.

Приятна изненада в немски град да посетиш чисто български ресторант, че и с изцяло български персонал. Сиренето по шопски ми хареса. Шопската салата не беше баш като нашата, но е разбираемо, все пак вкусовете там със сигурност са други. Препоръчвам!

Wir waren begeistert. Sehr sauber und Ordentlich. Die Bedienung ist sehr nett und man merkt das dass Essen mit liebe gekocht wird. Es war sehr lecker

Sehr gutes, handgemachtes Essen ohne Fertigprodukte. Eigenständige, typisch bulgarische Zubereitungsweise, die sich schon vom jugoslawischen Einheitsbrei unterscheidet

Mediterranes Essen vom Feinsten. Diese hausgemachten Gerichte sind ein Genuss, den man sich nicht entgehen lassen sollte 👍

Das erste Mal in meinem Leben bulgarisch gegessen und es war richtig lecker. Wir hatten uns vor einem Gewitter hierher geflüchtet und dabei ein richtig schönes Restaurant entdeckt. Werde sehr gern wieder kommen. Eindeutig jeden Euro wert.

Super Essen, toller Wirt - einfach prima!

Sehr lecker und freundlicher Service. Wir geben hier gerne 5Sterne und unsere besondere Empfehlung

Freundliches Personal. Das Essen gut und reichlich. Preise sind ok.

Sehr lecker, gute Portionen, nettes Personal Es wird erklärt was serviert wird und wie landestypische es gewürzt ist- sehr schön und zum wohlfühlen

Wir haben hier einfach ahnungslos 2 Stücke Kuchen aus der Vitrine und 2 Cappuchini bestellt. Die Buttecremetorte war offensichtlich nicht mehr ganz frisch, dafür aber der Preis. Wir mussten hier 21,60 € bezahlen. Begründet wurde das damit, dass die Kuchen angeblich hausgemacht waren. Wie dem auch sei, für die gelieferte Qualität war das einfach Abzocke.

Sehr leckeres Essen und nette Bedienung! Ist zu empfehlen

Sehr freundliches bulgarisches Restaurant. Tolle Speisen, freundlicher Service. Das Essen war sehr schnell am Platz und sehr lecker - angenehm gewürzt. Leider waren die Rosmarin-Kartoffeln kalt. Service hat sich entschuldigt.

Authentische bulgarische Küche, nette Bedienung

Habe lange nicht mehr einen so leckeren Grillteller wie am Samstag im Balkan Grill gegessen.

Winzige Portionen für stolze Preise

Das Essen war der Hammer! Alles sehr frisch, perfekt gewürzt und abgeschmeckt! Der Wirt ist ein sehr sympathischer und bemühter Herr! Danke für den schönen Abend!
