Balkan House Set to Bring Flavorful Döner Kebabs to Detroit
Downtown Detroit is about to get a taste of Europe as Balkan House, the beloved eatery known for its authentic European-style döner kebabs, prepares to open its first location in the city. According to Axios, this new development, spearheaded by the Detroit Shipping Co., will not only bring Balkan House on board but also a slew of other restaurants and a bar as part of a food hall concept similar to the company's existing ventures.
The project, which is expected to break ground soon, will also feature 10 studio apartments on its second floor, offering residents a unique opportunity to be close to the action. The development aims for a summer opening date, giving fans plenty of time to get excited about trying Balkan House's mouthwatering kebabs.
For those who may not be familiar with Balkan House, this Michigan institution has been wowing palates in Hamtramck and Ferndale since its founding in 2019. The eatery's signature pita sandwich, which is a staple of Berlin's street food scene, has gained a loyal following among locals and visitors alike.
However, the original Hamtramck location closed earlier this year, leaving fans wondering if they'd ever get to experience Balkan House's culinary delights in person. Now, with its first Detroit location on the horizon, it seems those days are behind us.
The addition of Balkan House to the Detroit food scene promises to be a significant one, offering residents and visitors alike a taste of European culture that will transport them to the bustling streets of Berlin or Istanbul.

OMG you guys! I'm so stoked to hear about Balkan House coming to Detroit!!! 
. I mean, who doesn't love a good pita sandwich with juicy meat and crispy veggies? 
and now we get to experience it in person! the fact that there's also a bar and studio apartments on site is just amazing 
what do you guys think about food halls? are they going to change the detroit dining scene? 
! What I love most is how this project is gonna revitalize downtown Detroit - 10 studio apartments? That's not just a food hall, that's a community hub 
. Anyway, can't wait to sink my teeth into those kebabs and experience it all for myself
