A Bite of Serbia, A Burst of South African Success
The Balkan Burger StoryIn the heart of Johannesburg in 2011, fate (and a touch of empty stomachs) played its hand. A missed connection with a friend sparked a crazy idea: to bring the vibrant flavours of the Balkans to South Africa in the form of mouthwatering, gourmet burgers. This is the story of Balkan Burger, a testament to family, passion, and the relentless pursuit of deliciousness.
A Missed Connection, a Delicious Destiny
Join us back in 2011 when a missed connection and a lack of lunch options sparked a crazy idea – to bring delicious, unique burgers to Johannesburg!
It all began with a simple plan to meet a friend at a Johannesburg market. When fate intervened, a shared craving for good food turned into a life-changing idea.
Family Recipe, Secret Weapon
The secret sauce behind Balkan Burger? Family! With a sister's eye for creativity and a brother's business savvy, they knew they had something special. Mom's legendary Serbian recipes provided the foundation for their menu, while Dad's connections secured the freshest ingredients.
