Great little spot on 9 Mile. We decided to get a togo order from here and are really glad we did. We ended up with a few doners and fries, which were great. The folks here are really nice and provide great service. We will definitely add this place to our rotation of places to eat.

Interesting, sorta familiar but not exactly. They specialize in "Doner" which I assumed would be most similar to middle eastern lamb/beef but it reminded me more of greek gyro. You order at a counter and then can sit (mostly tables for two). Then when it's ready they bring the food out. My husband had the Doner kebab and I had it on top of fries. It was like a salad with cucumber and tomatoes mixed with gyro and fries with a tasty sauce to put on top. It was pretty good. A large portion for sure. And I would consider having it again. Maybe a tad too much going on though. Hmmm.

As close to a döner kebab I've had here in the states. Friendly staff, clean restaurant, crispy fries. Turkish coffee was very good as well.

On a recent trip to Royal Oak, I wanted to try something different for our meal. Balkan House was nearby and had good reviews, so it got our vote. Located in a cozy space on the main drag, we were immediately greeted by a friendly associate. She explained the menu to us when we ordered at the counter. I decided on the Balkan Basket - Döner Kebabs over French fries! We took our seat and only waited a short time before the food arrived. It hit the spot! Fresh ingredients with comforting flavors, and more than generous portion sizes. We left with happy hearts and full tummies. This is definitely a place to bookmark and visit again soon!

Balkan House has amazing doner sandwiches. I had the loaded doner which included fries and feta cheese in addition. The lamb/gyro meat was flavorful and had an authentic flavor to it. The feta added a good amount of salt which was balanced out by the cabbage and other veggies. Also had a side of waffles fries which were perfectly cooked. This is a quick service restaurant where you order at the counter. This location has limited seating but it wasn't too busy when I went for lunch.

Delicious wrap! The ingredients are fresh and I love the sauce. It's a good filling wrap. I'll definitely order from here again.
