Jakova Grill - Authentic Balkan Cuisine in Sterling Heights, MI

Went to Jakova Grill to try a new restaurant for carryout and it was excellent! We ordered Byrek pie and a Mixed Plate and both dishes were delicious! The restaurant staff was very professional and the atmosphere was festive. Do yourself a favor and go to the Jakova Grill and get some fresh and tasty food!

First time trying them, Byrek was nice and fresh, will definitely order again

Ok, I've never eaten at an Albanian restaurant so I'm not sure what to expect but, come on, Albania is just across the Adriatic from Italy and next door to Greece, the odds of it not being good or even slightly familiar seem pretty low, even if the cultures are different. The young lady who took my order was very polite, smiling and checked back several times during my meal. First thing I learned, no soups on the weekend so gulash was out. Damn, on a 38° day that sounded terrific. So, needing some veggies in my diet, I ordered the Shopska salad which is just a mix of tomato, cucumber, purple onion tossed with olive oil & vinegar with shredded cheese on top. And I got a fresh round of still warm bread. Fabulous bread, good chew. What I assume is Albanian music plays at the perfect volume, audible but not intrusive. I'm coming back for Gulash, too.

Delicious food here ! It came highly recommend from and Albanian friend of mine and I'm glad I listened. Every thing was tasty and fresh get the burek for sure ! It was super super tasty. I will definitely be back i wanna try alot more of the menu . I spent about 35 for 2 people here but we got alot of food and I let them up sale me on some stuff .

I really enjoyed my experience at this Albanian restaurant. The bean soup was absolutely amazing and honestly the best beans I have ever tried in the United States. I truly loved it. The ćevapi (Javabi) kebab was also very good, and the börek was extremely delicious. Both tasted very authentic and comforting. The only small suggestion I have is that the börek and the ćevapi kofta were a little salty, so slightly reducing the salt would make them even better. I would also love to see more sides added to the menu, such as yogurt, ayran (yogurt drink), or tea, as these would pair perfectly with the food and make the experience even better. One more small note: the onions served on the side with the ćevapi did not seem very freshly cut. I would recommend serving freshly cut onions, as it would make a noticeable difference. Overall, I really appreciate the owners and the food they serve. The beans alone are worth coming back for. Highly recommended, and I hope they consider adding yogurt and yogurt drinks to the menu.

If you’re looking for truly exceptional Burek and Qevapa, look no further. Jakova Grill delivers an authentic Balkan dining experience with flavors that stand out from the rest. The food is consistently fresh, well seasoned and prepared with genuine care. Whether you’re familiar with Balkan cuisine or trying it for the first time, this restaurant offers a level of quality and authenticity that is hard to find. Highly recommended.
