Underseasoned and Overpriced: A Balkan Disappointment

As someone who grew up with the rich flavors of the Balkans, I was excited to try Balkanika Meat and Deli, but unfortunately, my experience was a letdown. I ordered the Beef Sudjuk and Lukanka, expecting bold, authentic tastes, but what I got was underseasoned and lacked the depth I've come to expect from traditional Balkan cuisine. The quality of the meats was good, but the dry-curing process seemed to have sucked out more flavor than it added. For the premium prices they're charging, I expected a lot more. The service was friendly, but it didn't make up for the disappointment of the products. Maybe I just got a bad batch, but for now, I'll be taking my business (and my appetite for authentic Balkan flavors) elsewhere. 2/5 stars, and that's being generous.
