This place was my introduction to authentic Bosnian food and it was a delicious and decadent experience. It is so amazing that Waterloo has such a gem in this town. I was recommended to go here by a Bosnian friend of mine in Cedar Rapids and I am so glad I listened. They have fresh items made in the morning like the Burke. It is so soft and savory. They also serve really good Turkish coffee. The searing is limited because of the small space but the vibes give you the “back home” type of feeling.

Balkan Cafe was a pleasant surprise! Delicious food and very fast service. Hidden gem of Waterloo. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed

Food was on a limited menu, as many dishes were sold out due to popularity. We got the cevapi, the Burek, fries, onion rings, and drinks. The food was incredible. Everyone loved their food, particularly the bread they served everything on. Like pita bread, but slightly fried and delicious. The fries were the best I’ve had in 6-7 years. The drink selection were bottled drinks from across Europe. The drinks were unique and hard to find elsewhere. The owner was extremely friendly and explained the menu, which was helpful as we couldn’t pronounce anything. Cost was incredibly reasonable. Plus, they have a grocery in the restaurant with a decent range of hard to find European goods. Will be back again!

Unfortunately, My most recent visit was not as good as I was expecting. I've had the cheese bureks from here before and they were really good, but this most recent visit was something else. Yesterday, I ordered the veal steak sandwich and a meat burek and both orders had major problems with them. The veal steak was so tough it was basically inedible, and the meat in the burek was undercooked. The portions were nice, but that doesn't do me any good with inedible food.

So delicious! Burek and cevapi were perfect. So fresh, quick, and affordable. Portions were beyond generous.
