The night started with a bang got the special for both me and the wife they are very accommodating for gluten-free. Had the wipped Feta to start amazing. The calamari was very good. Then we had the lamb shank very tender. Desert was included, but something happened that threw everything thing off service basically stopped, and options for Desert were gone. And it was pretty much take the bill see you later. No adjustments for no Desert crappy way to end what was a pretty cool experience

If you're looking for a fun night with great food and entertainment, this is where to go in Banff. Not so if you're looking for a quiet romantic dinner.

Balkan is usually our go-to spot for dining in Banff. The food is always amazing, and the service is top-notch. We went for Greek night this time, and the entertainment was fantastic! Since we were celebrating a birthday, they even put us at a table with a great view of all the fun. Thanks for making our night so special! We can't wait to come back soon!
