    The service was amazing, so encouraging, so friendly, the food tasted amazing. Great gluten free options. The only thing it gets crowded and it’s hard to visit. We will be back (we always go back, it’s the place to go when you’re in Banff)

    The food and service were both great. The souvlaki plates (we had the chicken and lamb/beef) were excellent. Spanakopita to start was also very good. The staff were all very helpful and professional. Will definitely go back!

    I brought my family who are visiting from Australia in for dinner for my little sister’s birthday last night. They had a blast!!! There was belly dancing, zorba dancing and plate smashing, delicious food and immaculate vibes. The Balkan’s show nights are an absolute must!
