The Balkan area is mapped as most of southeastern Europe, including Bosnia, Turkey, Hungary, Greece, Serbia, Bulgaria and Montenegro, among other countries. The mix of influences produces a layered cuisine full of deep spice and hearty earth tones. Balkan Restaurant skillfully showcases these lush flavors for a minimal price and little flourish. The stuffed Balkan burger ($8) is massive and oozing with mozzarella. House-made lepinja bread, tender and tasting similar to pita, is served with a hand-formed savory patty commonly called pljeskavica. The result is tougher than an American burger but packed with flavor.
