“I LOVE Balkan Express ❤️‼️
First, please let me say... This review is long overdue, as I have been a fan of Balkan Express for years!
Several years back, I found myself thinking about and MISSING my Baba's Zelnick.
I decided to put a message out to all of my fellow Macedonian friends on Facebook asking the question: "Where can I find/buy the Best Zelnick, in the GTA?"
The place that had the highest number of references was Balkan Express!
My dear friend, and fellow Macy, Katharine Hollinsworth, used to live right by Balkan Express and when she wrote to tell me how much she loved the food there, I knew I had to make the trip from Mississauga.
I called ahead and requested a large Zelnick. When I arrived, they had it ready, and maybe I shouldn't be saying this... but they gave me all kinds of wonderful samples, and I absolutely fell in love with the owners and the Balkan Express!
I asked them to make me another fresh Zelnick and took it to my father Tom (Born in Zhelevo), and he said: "This is just like my Mom used to make!" I can 'second' that!
The Zelnick is just like my Baba used to make! ❤️
Balkan Express is highly recommended!!!

“Prettt sure i already posted about here but googled asked again lol. Place is awesome, amazing owners. My go to for all caribbean products. Fresh goods that come straight from the caribbean. Sometimes they also have fruits that are in season in the caribbean. This place is the best place to grab trini seasoning and groceries. Love it here”
“It feels like shopping in the old markets of Baghdad…
the place has a warm, nostalgic vibe, and I always find everything I need. A place I love coming back to. ??”
“I am happy with this No Frills store; the staff is friendly and helpful, the produce is fresh and varied, as is the meat. They have great sales and carry most of the PC products we like. There is plenty of parking and it's very close to home. This store definitely satisfies our everyday needs.”
“I went into this location yesterday and had the most wonderful experience imaginable. I went through self check-out which I never do and the staff there was so lovely, professional and kind. Not to mention quick and funny!
Not to mention, I overheard her speaking to another customer about a product's location. She was very knowledgeable, she might as well have given exact coordinates. She would even tell you which shelf, what to look for in the vicinity and so forth.
I didn't catch her name but she's a lovely soul with purple hair. I will definitely be coming back and primarily dealing with her. She has definitely earned herself a new regular.”
“Metro is always stocked and reliable. Good selection. Great customer service.
I like the gluten free options that are not available at ghetto No Frills.”
“I am local to this Sobeys, therefore a little biased. It’s by far my favorite! They have the best produce and never short on anything. The staff are super nice and there’s always plenty of parking. I love this place!”
“Well stocked and clean store. Customer service has always been good in the 2 years we've been shopping at this location, and don't recall any long lines ever.”
“Been coming here for a while because I work nearby. The food is generally always fresh and the service has always been great. The chicken and meatballs are great.”
“I am thrilled to have 'discovered' the restaurant at the back of the grocery store. The Chana was delicious and very reasonably priced. I ordered a large container, hoping to eat a portion in the store and take the rest home, but it was so tasty I ate the whole container on the spot!”
“What can I say? It’s a blah blah’s so the food is good selection well prepared and kept the staff are friendly and helpful and wrecked any crazy lines to check out. They sell alcohol, which is great and convenient and have a fairly decent vitamin section too. It’s a blah blah blah blah blah really great so check it out. You know what to expect.”
“the best store!! the owner and the family is very welcoming! it's like you're at home ?excellent customer service I am super satisfied whenever I come here. with amazing items and groceries with the best prices ? god bless you and your family ?”
