Balkan Burek & GrillspezialitätenB-Worth Trying
Hernalser Hauptstraße 64, 1170 Wien, Austria
· Serbian restaurant, Breakfast restaurant

Reservations · Delivery · Takeout
Casual Serbian grill with big burgers and cevapi; great value combos, but quality and consistency swing between excellent and disappointing, especially on delivered orders and seasonal pork roasts.
Why it gets a B- for overall quality
Balkan Burek & Grillspezialitäten delivers hearty, generously portioned Balkan classics with solid food quality in signature cevapi and burgers and excellent value through combos, but inconsistent meat doneness and variable execution prevent a higher grade. Recent quality concerns with roast pork and occasional undercooking, combined with delivery delays, suggest reliability issues that keep this neighborhood grill in solid but not exceptional territory.
Restaurant Summary
On Hernalser Hauptstraße, this spot hums like a neighborhood grill where the smoke and spice do the talking and portions run big and brawny. A friendly grill master and an owner who chats at the counter set a casual tone, though some diners report missed orders and delays. One regular summed it up: "When they hit, the burgers are huge and satisfying." The cooking is straightforward Balkan comfort: cevapi and pljeskavica tucked into lepinja, raznjici, house sausage, and burek trays. Fans rave about juicy grilled meats and value combos, while others note uneven execution, especially with seasonal roast pork and the occasional undercooked patty. If you come for hearty classics rather than polish, you will likely leave full and happy. For families, it is easygoing: kids can share a burger and fries, nibble lepinja, or a simple salad. There is no kids menu, but portions are shareable and flavors are familiar. Adventurous specials like roast pork may be less predictable for picky eaters, so stick to the core grill items.
