Balkan House plans first Detroit location - Detroit Metro Times

Balkan House, the beloved Detroit-area eatery known for its mouthwatering European-style döner kebabs, is set to expand into the city with its first-ever location in a highly-anticipated new development.

The company, which has garnered a devoted following since opening its initial location in Hamtramck back in 2019, is one of several tenants slated for the newly-formed Detroit Shipping Co. complex, situated just a few blocks away from their current headquarters at 3700 Third Ave. The multi-faceted project will boast not only an array of restaurants and bars but also a concept eerily similar to the popular Detroit Shipping Co. food hall – complete with ten stylish studio apartments taking up residence on the second floor.

According to sources, developers have announced ambitious plans for a summer opening date, which promises to bring an exciting influx of foodies to the area. The new outpost will undoubtedly further solidify Balkan House's reputation as a must-visit destination in Detroit, serving up authentic flavor with a European twist that has captivated fans across the globe.

Since its inception in 2019, Balkan House has garnered widespread acclaim for its signature pita sandwich – an iconic dish hailing from Berlin. Following the successful launch of Hamtramck and Ferndale locations, as well as a food truck venture, the original Hamtramck location unfortunately closed earlier this year, leaving fans eagerly awaiting new developments.

With the recent news that Balkan House will be joining forces with Detroit Shipping Co., hopes are running high for an epicurean explosion in the heart of the city.
 
I wonder if we've reached a point where food becomes more than just sustenance – it's a way to connect with others and, maybe, even ourselves. I mean, think about it: Balkan House is expanding, but it's not just about adding another location; it's about bringing people together over delicious food. And that's what it feels like we're all craving these days – a sense of community, of belonging.

This new development in Detroit is more than just a restaurant expansion; it's an opportunity to redefine the urban landscape. What does this say about our values as a society? Are we becoming more interested in shared experiences and communal spaces?

And have you noticed how Balkan House's success has become synonymous with its signature pita sandwich? Is that what happens when we find something we love – do we become obsessed, or is it just a sign of something deeper?

Summer opening date can't come soon enough! 🤞
 
OMG I'm SO hyped about this!!! 🤩 A new Balkan House location in Detroit sounds like a dream come true! Can't wait to try their European-style döner kebabs and signature pita sandwich again! 😋 And it's awesome that they're joining forces with Detroit Shipping Co., that place is already so cool, I love the vibe of all those restaurants and bars. The fact that they have studios on the second floor is like, whoa! Can't wait to grab a drink or dinner there and check out the apartments too 💼. Summer opening date can't come soon enough! 🌞
 
I don’t usually comment but I gotta say... I'm beyond hyped about Balkan House expanding into Detroit 🤩! Those döner kebabs at their Hamtramck spot are insane, and now they're gonna bring that flavor to the whole city? Count me in 😋. The fact that it's part of a new development with all sorts of restaurants and bars sounds like a foodie paradise. I'm so down for trying out their signature pita sandwich too 🤤. Can't wait for that summer opening date and seeing what other goodies Detroit Shipping Co. has in store for us 💼
 
omg can't wait to try out their new location!!! 🤩 i've been hearing amazing things about their döner kebabs and i'm so down to experience it for myself. detroit needs more authentic eats like this and with them joining forces with detroit shipping co. its gonna be a game changer! 💯 the studio apartments on the second floor sound so cool too, can't wait to explore that area and grab some grub at balkan house afterwards 🍴👍
 
oh great another chain restaurant coming to detroit 🤯. i mean its not like we don't have enough options already, but hey a new location means more döner kebabs for the masses right? and honestly i'm still salty about balkan house closing in hamtramck - i guess that's what you get when you leave your food truck on the side of the road for 6 months 🚗. on the bright side, its always exciting to see new businesses pop up and bring some life to the area...as long as they don't drive out all the small shops like they did in ferndale 😒
 
OMG u guys Balkan house is going to open its 1st ever detroit location!!! i'm literally dying from excitement cant wait to try their famous pita sandwich tho i heard it's still made with love just like they do in berlin 🤩👍 i've been following them since 2019 and now they're expanding into a whole new complex with tons of restaurants and bars... detroit is gonna be the food capital 🍴🌆 i hope its summer opening date comes thru cant wait to see what other flavors they'll bring to our city 😁
 
ugh I'm so over these food hall fads 🤯 every new development needs to have a trendy food hall, can't we just get some authentic local eats instead? I mean don't get me wrong, Balkan House is legit delicious but it's not like they're going to change the game with their European-style döner kebabs... people are just looking for that 'Instagrammable' experience now 📸. And have you seen these studio apartments taking up space on the second floor? what's next, a rooftop bar serving $15 lattes?
