Restaurant Balkania in Binnenstad

Price quality ratio to be regretted Balkan mix steak a piece of 3 cm a tenderloin that was not to be found and then gyros pre-fried too dry I think from the microwave within 5 minutes we had the food can not be that bad I have never had it so people be alert

Delicious food and very friendly service.

Friendly welcome, delicious food. Plenty of it and fresh! Keep it up, folks! 👍🏼

food was very substandard, portion very small and not very tasty, would not eat here

⭐ 1 star – Absolutely disappointing value for money I very rarely write reviews – but in this case, it's unfortunately appropriate. I ordered the Surf & Turf menu for €35 yesterday and was more than disappointed. The portion was extremely small: two tiny bits of beef, two shrimp, a bit of gyro – that was it. No fillet, no quality, simply disappointing. The meat wasn't "medium" as ordered, but cooked all the way through – which was hardly possible given the tiny size. The fries: limp, half-cooked, also a mini portion. When you get something like that for €35, you honestly feel ripped off. The fact that the owner writes in other responses that you could have complained on site isn't an argument for me: you rate a restaurant after the meal, not before. Besides, the food wasn't completely inedible – but for that price, it was an absolute disgrace. Even the common argument that everything comes from a wholesaler and not a supermarket doesn't change the fact that the quality and taste weren't convincing. No matter where the ingredients come from, it's the end result that counts, and that was disappointing. I don't want to harm anyone, but I honestly can't recommend anyone spending €35 on such a mini portion. I hope the criticism is taken seriously—because honest feedback should be treated respectfully, even if it's uncomfortable.

Best cevapcici I’ve had outside of Sarajevo. Lovely service. Good kids options.

Best food, great waiter, free drinks, everything perfect🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪

Spectacular atmosphere. Friendly staff and good food. We'll be back.

Great Restaurant with very polite and friedly people

The size of the portions is an absolute disgrace... €31.00 for a skewer with four small pieces of meat... Gyros was bought from Lidl, salad is a piece of cucumber, tomato, and three lettuce leaves... Please go on and save your money... everything was bought from Lidl and for that €25-35 per plate... Never again...!

Super. Delicious, very friendly and welcoming, all the dishes were top-notch. From fish to pasta to grilled dishes.

The friendly owner, who welcomes you himself, and the beautiful location (at the harbor) make it stars. The food is really tourist class… there is no love in it (and I say that nicely…)

Finally a catering entrepreneur who still wants to think about dietary restrictions, puts together what you want without saying: no, I won't deviate from the menu. Super! Really recommended.

Unique Balkan cuisine!!! Very tasty!!

A quiet terrace to sit. Great service, child-friendly (colours and coloring page for the kids), very tasty and plenty of food.

So good! I don't know what else to say, a pleasure to have such good food!

Very tasty food in a great atmosphere. Very friendly service.

Very friendly service. The fish pan was slightly bizarre and dry. Fries-rice-tzaziki combo is just something strange. Prefer more of 1 thing than the 3 together and then very sparse in quantity. Shame

Several items on the menu could not be ordered. And the food was a 6+ in terms of price and quality

Another delicious meal for my bonus daughter's birthday.

Very good taste Mediterranean food olive and olive oil, salad and soup were delicious

Delicious food and also for people with a stomach reduction, just let them know and they will take that into account and also affordable and cozy

Service is fine, friendly. Chose the Balkan snacks for 2 people as a starter, but this was €25.50. Unfortunately the starter was not as expected, the ratio was not equal and very pricey for what you got. The main course, on the other hand, was fine. Quality price ratio is correct. Paid €99 for 2 people inc. 1l wine. All in all, good experience. Will just order a different entree next time.

Very tasty meal! Very neat and clean to see. Nice staff and nice owner. And very important: The food was also very tasty. Nice price and an extra ouzo gift. Very nice atmosphere!! Top experience.

Yesterday we had a delicious meal for Christmas

If you want to enjoy a nice and hearty meal from the cuisine of the Balkans without worrying about being kicked out at 10pm, this is the restaurant for you in Vlissingen. Very cosily made and with pleasant service, it will satisfy every culinary taste. During the weekend, there is a music host who plays different music from the 80s and 90s, as well as granting wishes to visitors.

We had a really wonderful evening! The atmosphere is very pleasant, the service is very attentive and friendly! The food was outstanding, both the starters and the main courses. We had both meat (souvlaki) and vegetarian food (aubergine), both tasted great and cooked to perfection! An absolute recommendation!!!

Eating at Balkania is always a treat. Owner Aladdin is an excellent host and his wife makes all the delicious food. Highly recommended for a meal.

Spontaneously walked in after seeing the menu. Very glad we did because we had such a delicious meal! Delicious range of dishes from the Balkans. Friendly staff. We will definitely come back.

Sept '24. Compared to 9 months ago, the portions were much smaller. I never finish a portion, but this time I even finished my dessert with ease. Surf and turf is shameful, I have never seen such a small steak. Dec '23 We were here tonight. Kindly received. My son wanted something from the lunch menu, nice that we could order that too. The food was truly fantastic. We will come back more often

A warm welcome by the host. Friendly, funny and also serious. My friends and I enjoyed the delicious food, view and friendly employees. Definitely recommended!

Very tasty food, good portions. The staff are very friendly.

The fish was very tasty. The meat was a bit less unfortunately.

Super tasty food, cozy atmosphere and friendly service... definitely recommended!

The best restaurant. I feel like I eat at home. Friendly people, clean places and amazing food. I will definitely go again and again

As mentioned before, the service was the best. Small portions, hardly any taste! Calamares were decayed and limp. Bifteki wasn't the burner either.

Very friendly service and really good and plentiful food. The Mixed Balkan Grill is highly recommended.

A beautiful place, with the best service, the best food and very very friendly. . thousand stars

Definitely recommended!! Fish and meat very well prepared! Cozy service and surroundings.. I'm completely in love!

We ate here for the second time today and it won't be the last time. We already had a fish platter, aubergine, pita bread with tzatzikki and Greek salad!!! Everything tastes really good! The prices aren't exactly cheap, but they aren't cheap anywhere here. In comparison, I have to say it's really worth it!!! We are thrilled and I'm really not easy to get excited about when it comes to food!!!

Het eten is een verwennerij en daarnaast zijn de medewerkers vriendelijk en oprecht. Kortom de mediterraanse ervaring in Vlissingen. Doen!!

The Vlissingen marina, a start and stopover for departures. Travelers who pass by the European coast, who will experience the most beautiful moments around the Mediterranean, but also the adventure of crossing the ocean. And then you lie here, have some fries or prepare for your journey. Then go eat here

We had dinner there today with 7 people, the service was very friendly and accommodating. That was the only positive thing. The food was poor quality and a measly portion for the price. I had gyros, extremely little on the plate, it came from a greasy pan and more than a third of the meat was pure, pure fat. Disgusting. My companions weren't happy either. Tourist rip-off. Our tip is to give this so-called restaurant a wide berth.

Nice tent, good food and beautiful location, highly recommended

After reading the great reviews, we had dinner here tonight. Her is really fantastically good. Food great, and the employees are extremely hospitable and friendly. Beautiful, neat and attractively decorated restaurant. Here 5 stars are not enough. They deserve more!

Das Essen war sehr lecker und wir waren mit der Qualität sehr zufrieden. Es gab Seezunge und kalamaris. Der Chef ist ein sprachlich versierter Mensch und sehr freundlich!

Cozy restaurant with friendly staff and, above all, very tasty food. The calamari is recommended.

Good food+fast and friendly service

The best restaurant in Zeeland ❤️🫶🏻

Malgré notre arrivée tardive , la veille d'un jour férié, nous avons été servi chaleureusement et avec le sourire. Les plats étaient vraiment bon , tout le monde à bien aimé. Vraiment recommandable .

very good food, ordered kebab shish and it was tasty, the rice suprised me tho: extremely interesting spices added, i loved it.

Beautiful tent, highly recommended

Best place to try balkan food for sure! 👍👍

Highly recommended! Warm welcome, friendly staff and a wide choice of dishes, which are carefully and tastefully prepared. Have a favorite place to eat!!

Super nice welcome! Lovely background music. Management visits regularly to ask if everything is to your liking. Food is beyond fantastic!

Too expensive, starter not worth the money, sorry. Simple lettuce leaves and 1x tiny little flatbread filled with feta and spinach for €10 Main course for €22.50, Pleskavica, unfortunately simple, too expensive, a rip-off in my opinion... same measly salad as the starter... Not recommendable

In de microwave opgewarmde burek als voorgerecht en vervolgens kip suvlaki. Dacht dat ik de kindermenu besteld had maar helaas 23€ voor twee sateetjes die je op de eerste beste receptie voorgeschoteld krijgt. Jammer, mss de foute keuzes gemaakt maar bedrogen uitgekomen!

Good food and very hospitable. Highly recommended.

Went by the place 2 times and it was supposed to be open but it was not.No sign on the door,nothing.That is a sure way to lose customers

Super tasty food, beautiful restaurant and friendly staff 👍

Had a really great meal here. Very personal and friendly restaurant. Right amount on your plate and it was tasty too! Recommended!

Very tasty meal with a group of 15 people. Also a super friendly family that runs the business. We had a great evening, thank you!

Delicious food, Greek and other Balkan specialties. We had the mixed grill, including the tenderloin. It was really delicious! The owner Aladin is also really nice and does everything he can to make you happy. Recommended!

Delicious food. Highly recommended. The tenderloin was fantastic, portions are large. Delicious baklava for desert.

The flesh contained many tendons

Good coffee. Nice service. Very good food.

Great experience (we were 11 people)! Delicious fish and meat dish! Great service! Worth repeating!

Nice Albanian and very nice restaurant with a great ambience. Waiting times for food were great, the waitresses were very friendly. The food itself was also very good and plentiful. If we come back to Vlissingen, we will definitely visit the restaurant again.

Unfortunately it wasn't a successful evening. The waiters were friendly and talkative, but also incompetent. Despite repeated inquiries as to whether the rice was gluten-free, it was regularly confirmed to us. We got the result at night with stomach cramps and diarrhea. But otherwise the gyro is not recommended (very greasy). The atmosphere was nice, but unfortunately it couldn't save the evening.

For us, a restaurant that we put among our favorites when we are in Zeeland. Very very tasty! A warm welcome by the master of the house and Mrs. is in the kitchen. Highly recommended!

We were thrilled, the food was very tasty, everyone was really nice, clean, everything was perfect

Ate here with 9 ladies, and they were all very satisfied. Excellent price-quality ratio, cozy atmosphere and friendly and alert staff. Definitely worth repeating.....

Restaurant with terrace, welcoming host, where the food is very good, with friendly staff and impeccable service. I will definitely come back. I recommend with confidence.

Nice restaurant. Enthusiastic owner. We had a nice meal on the terrace.

We ended up here by chance and it was a great experience! Service is very friendly and quick and they also politely ask if you are ready for the next dish. The atmosphere is cozy and friendly and above all the food was delicious and plentiful! It is certainly not the last time we have been here, we will be back ;)

Food super tasty, fresh... good service. Patron really pleasant and concerned.

Great service, delicious food, really a great experience, we come here regularly and are always welcomed with open arms. The people who work there do their utmost to make everything according to your wishes. Listen to customer requirements and adapt what you ask for. Great, keep it up

Service was super friendly and nice😊👍Thank you very much

Delicious fresh dishes, you get a large portion of meat and super friendly people who work there. My 7 year old daughter even noticed it. "What nice people work here, Dad," she said. Thanks for the service and the delicious food! I'm here on holiday and will definitely go back before I go home. Highly recommended!

One of the best restaurants my wife and I have eaten at. Friendly welcome, fast service, delicious starters and main dishes. Too bad, we didn't have room for dessert 😂

The giros were not good which is understandable when you see that there is no spit to cut it from. So everything from one cup. Zesty and lots of fat. I had a leg of lamb that was overcooked and unfortunately had no sauce to eat. The sparkling water was delicious and I really enjoyed it. It was fun to try once but not worth repeating.

Perfect food! Special thanks to the kitchen for making a special allergene-free dish❤️ Staff was lovely.

Very good selection of Balkan Food. Friendly team and excellent service. Very cosy atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Alladin is a super nice good host! I went there for a team outing, it was super fun and a DJ was arranged for us where we could pass on songs! The food was very tasty and very well presented! We will definitely come back! Thank you for the nice evening! Greetings Gerda and the rest of the bonedijkehuis team

The food tastes great and I can recommend it with a clear conscience

Very good and cozy restaurant. With excellent service and nice owner. Well worth it!!

Great, really great, friendly people, fun and the food was a big 10. Then we got an extra drink on the house. Keep up the good work.

Very tasty food...a combo of Greek, Turkish, etc... Super friendly service, warm welcome!! Large portions 😀 Highly recommended in Vlissingen!!

Nice location, great friendly staff. Fantastic service and the food was absolutely delicious.

Very nice service, food ok 🤔 (if you want to eat gyros, you should go to Greek).

Super friendly staff and owner Aladdin is great. The food is great, we come there regularly

It was so delicious! Great staff & great food!! I can highly recommend this place! :)

We ate meat and fish parillafas, it went very well, good portions

An unexpected discovery and highly recommended. Welcoming, friendly staff and correct service. Excellent food for a reasonable price.

Friendly staff, a tasty meal and a cozy location. That's all a person needs after a day of walking. Highly recommended.

Very nice and hospitable owner with an attractive restaurant. Delicious dishes, with the fish dish definitely recommended!

Very hospitable and delicious food. Definitely worth going once

Delicious food, extremely friendly service. Absolutely great.

You can enjoy delicious food here for a good price, the service is also great, highly recommended

We went with the whole family and asked what he recommends and ordered it, we had all different types of meat and it was delicious, the table was plentiful with all different food outside for the main course. Service and handling was perfect. In a word everything was in balance.
