We weren't there long, just for a quick lunch but service and food were really good. Located along the main drag and easy to find.

Last night was my 5th time eating at the Balkan over the past 1.5 years. It has been consistently great each and every time I've visited. The staff are fantastic, last night our server (young guy served us on the 15th at about 8.30pm up in the top section) was amazing. Service with charm and a smile never fails. Pina... More

Yes we like the food , I'm not so impressed with dinning room, too small for my opinion, tables is to close to each other, floor is too dirty. This restaurant have good reputation and great food it will be nice to invest in better interior.

We just discovered this little gem last weekend and were totally impressed by our visit. The service was fantastic, the food (The greek fries are a MUST) was amazing and the price was totally reasonable. We are looking forward to heading back to Banff for another taste.

This is a very good Greek restaurant. The ambience is beautiful with exposed brink and wood beams throughout. We had a young waiter who was terrific - very knowledgeable, very enthusiastic and very much a showman. The food was excellent. I had the Bison filets - Mmmmm!

As a family we have always enjoyed the food in this restaurant. We sometimes drive to Banff especially to dine in Balkan. The lamb chops are amazing.

We visited here whist in Banff on the search for good food and good cocktails - and this is exactly what we got! Best quality food (The Lamb Shanks and the Bicen wrapped in bacon are to die for!) have tasted in Canada and the service was top notch! - we even went back a second night in a row!... More

This place was amazing! It was fancy inside, but not pretentious. It wasn't overly Greek for the decor, but very modern. The food was unreal. My husband and I shared the Greek salad which was delicious ($13).It wasn't overly oily as most Greek salads are. We also shared an order of spanikopita ($9)Best I've ever had! We then shared the...
