Detroit's Food Scene Just Got a European Twist: Balkan House to Open First City Location
Beloved Detroit-area eatery Balkan House is set to bring its signature European-style döner kebabs to the city, marking the first location for the Hamtramck-based restaurant in metropolitan Detroit.
As part of a new development from the nearby Detroit Shipping Co., Balkan House will join other restaurants and a bar as part of a concept similar to the company's food hall, featuring 10 studio apartments on its second floor. The project is expected to break ground this summer, with an anticipated opening date in the coming months.
Balkan House has been making waves in the local food scene since its inception in Hamtramck in 2019. Its pita sandwiches have become a staple among fans of the restaurant, particularly those who have sampled similar treats in cities like Berlin. The original location closed earlier this year, but not before expanding to Ferndale and launching a popular food truck.
The addition of Balkan House to the Detroit Shipping Co. development represents a significant boost for the city's culinary scene. With its unique blend of European flavors and Middle Eastern influences, Balkan House is poised to bring a fresh perspective to Detroit's vibrant food landscape.
For fans of Balkan House and new arrivals alike, the opening of this first city location promises an exciting opportunity to experience the restaurant's signature dishes in an urban setting.

anyway gotta say balkan house sounds interesting never had european-style döner kebabs before so maybe ill give it a shot when they open can anyone tell me more about the hamtramck location did they used to have a bar or something there?
! Balkan House is like the OG, their pita sandwiches are insane 
and now they're bringing that flavor to the city? Yes please! 
I've been following them since 2019 when they first opened up in Hamtramck and let me tell you, they never disappoint. The fact that they're moving into a new development with other restaurants and a bar is like, total win-win 
. I'm hyped to see what they have in store for us this time around 
It's awesome that they're joining forces with Detroit Shipping Co. and adding their studio apartment concept to the mix. The idea of a food hall on the second floor sounds like an amazing spot to hang out, grab some food, and maybe even catch some live music or events. I'm curious to see how the space will be set up and what kind of vibe they'll create. For fans of Balkan House, this is going to be a game-changer! 
This is exactly what Detroit needs, more options and flavors to explore 
i've had them before in berlin and they're 
anyone else been to balkan house? what's ur fave dish? 
. I've had the chance to try them when I visited Berlin last year, and let me tell you, it's a game-changer! Adding this new location at Detroit Shipping Co. is going to bring so much more energy to the area - I love that they're joining forces with another awesome spot like that food hall 
Can't wait to try their European-style döner kebabs and give it two thumbs up 
and it's about time tbh i mean who doesn't love a good pita sandwich 
anyway, balkan house has been killing it since 2019 and their food truck is still on point 
the detroit shipping co development sounds like a solid move tho, can't wait to check out that bar too 
and 10 studio apartments? yeah because what every food hall needs is more tiny living spaces 
...I mean, Hamtramck 
. It's awesome that Balkan House is expanding and bringing its unique flavors to the city. The fact that it's joining a new development with other restaurants and a bar sounds like a great idea - can't wait to check out the food hall and the studio apartments! 
but now I get to try it again in a whole new way! 
can't wait to try it out and share it with my friends 
I've had those at other places but it's always better when it's authentic. This new location in Detroit is gonna be lit! Can't wait to try out their döner kebabs 
Can't wait for that summer groundbreaking and then the months of foodie heaven to come 
.
i wonder if they'll have any gluten free options tho my friend is super strict about that stuff
