I can 100% understand why my eastern European co-workers have been recommending this place for years It's jam packed, tight aisles offer so many things to try and just add to the experience. The fresh food is insanely good. You'll likely wait a little to order because the place is so popular, and for good reason. Cevapi and Balkan burger were so tasty. I picked up some ajvar to take home and regret not snagging some of their frozen cevapi at the same time.
The best burek in the city! Delicious bun!Good bakery!
Nice place to enjoy Bosnian food. Staff is friendly. Try the Turkish coffee with cheese burek. You will love it.
Very good food. Nice customer service. They are Turkish coffee, too.
This was legitimately some of the best food i’ve had. I had the cevapi/sausage mix plate and they were the juiciest peaches of meat i’ve ever had. i also tried the veal stew they had in the front and it was amazing. the meat was cooked to perfect and the potatoes were so rich with the flavour of the meat. they need to open a location out in vancouver asap!
My first time at this market love the product clean good food testy and quality going back again for more CHEVAPI keep up the good work
Best Bosnian food in the GTA! Highly recommend this place. Cevape and the mixed meat platter are always my-go to, but honestly anything you get is going to be tasty!
I started ordering from here during COVID 2020.. it was amazing every time, but they didn't offer meat or meat/potato burek at that time, frozen and delivered. Today, I went into the store/small take-out and sit down restaurant/ deli. It's located in a residential neighborhood. Super clean and friendly environment. The wait is a bit long for hot food, but it's well worth it the wait! The chevapi is wonderful and fresh! The burek is fresh and also tasty - they have all kids- meat and meat potato are our favorites ! 😍 I stick up with their frozen foods as well; I usually buy their 60 pack of chevapi and Ljepna and Kymck! They also have chicken patè and MORE Eastern European foods and goodies. They have all kinds of Ajvar as well! It's a MUST visit and try!
Absolutely love this place, delicious food, great service, awesome atmosphere.
Great food and staff. You guys are amazing!!!
Very nice, all sort of products and lovely service. I ll be coming back more often.
Food was excellent - also good selection of Baltic goods!
We ordered 3 cevapi and 1 kg of burek. We were told to wait 10-15 minutes as the burek was in the oven, and we were given a device to notify us when the order was ready. However, after 25 minutes with no update, I approached the counter to ask about our order. The staff then brought the 3 cevapi but informed us the burek was sold out. This is unacceptable management and poor customer service. We traveled all the way from Newmarket to enjoy a nice Sunday with my family, only to have the experience ruined. Very disappointed and will not be returning. Thank you.
Great food! And good desserts! Parking: You could do some groceries! Food : 4/5 |
I tried the pljeskavica and it was great!
Love the hot food counter in the back
Good food
Best chevapi in Etobicoke, fresh buns and store made Avjar. Great butcher selections and even have a hot counter with daily and student specials.
Best service Best burek in town Food
Their chevapi cured all my ailments. We come here every year for Kofte/Chevapi on my brother s birthday : )
My husbands favorite place from his childhood. Very busy store and very friendly people.
Nice food, not too expensive, good service.
Loved the food
I went with my children, even though we ordered, they delivered the ready meals. Very bad servis

Food
Excellent plan for authentic Bosnian cuisine! Freshly baked all day Burek evapi Kefir ...
Great food, great portion sizes.
Best Balkan food
Whenever I crave Balkan food I come here. Mrakovic has a good variety of hot takeout food as well as fresh meat and frozen food. It also has lots of Balkan groceries and everything you need to make Turkish coffee.
Just amazing food fantastic environment and really good people very clean
Love the this place for Balkan goodies!
This place is a restaurant and grocery store. The food is cooked to order. Its not fast food. Its fresh and delicious. The staff is always friendly and helpful. It smells amazing in there. The dessert is amazing. The Cevapi is award winning. I highly recommend you drop in for lunch. You will not be disappointed. This place is always busy, so plan ahead.
Amazing!! You should try pastry
amazing atmosphere
lovely east europan food.
I really really love this place and I ve visited many times. Today, after ordering, which I had already been waiting for 15 minutes, she gave my food to someone who came after me and spoke the same language. This is unacceptable. I wont be back again. 28-June-2024 Cashier Hana, Order No:332
Beautiful packaging and nothing else. Kebab is over-salted, after the burgers the barbecue burned with fire for a long, long time. Question, what is this made of?!
Bosnian Gem! Love it!
The Halal burger is not tasty
I wish we have in New York this place unbelievable food so clean and delicious
Great deli, hot table, and Balkan treats!
The closest thing to being Balkans! A must visit if you want Balkan groceries and fresh food! Nema bolje!
rude service
All your products are excellent, no doubt. The only thing as a consumer, what really is not the greatest is the way you package your hamburgers, chicken burgers and pljeskavice. I would recommend to place parchment paper in between the meat, that way its easier to take apart and cook. The plastic that you have now is horrible and gets stuck to the meat. Thanks.
They sell cheap&good snuck and very near my house
Best chevapi I ve had! Very friendly staff!
Great food great service great variety of foods and overall great place to be in for your craving.. must try their chevapi plate
Amazing fresh Burek and Cevapi. Staff are also very friendly. Highly recommend.
Extra large chevapi w/ a yogurt drink WOW
Bottomline: If you want authentic Bosnian/Balkan food, go here. Mrakovic Fine Foods, known affectionately as Balkan Grocers and Restaurant, offers a delightful fusion of Balkan cuisine and French butchery. From the moment you step in, the warm smiles of the staff set the tone for a welcoming experience. Offering an array of authentic Balkan halal meats, its a haven for those seeking true flavors. The freshly made Chevapi sandwich is a must-try, embodying the essence of Sarajevos culinary delights. With a range that rivals any fancy butchery, Mrakovic Fine Foods is a gem for food enthusiasts. Highly recommended for an immersive Balkan culinary journey.
Rude & disorganized staff who carelessly speak slavic muttering insults to customers will not be tolerated whatsoever. Do better. Next time, its a lawsuit. 1st and last time going. Terrible experience, garbage, trash and disgusting treatment. Food sucks. Everything sucks in there. Miserable atmosphere. Starskys , as a competitor, has much better service and respect for customers. Do not go here. If thats how they treat community representatives, then its a reflection on the entire business operation. P-A-T-H-E-T-I-C....emphasis on the IC factor. 5 thumbs down. Do better.
What a beautiful shop and a great snack bar at the back. Service was wonderful, food was a new wonderful experience.
We have been visiting since this place opened, our last take away order is when they messed up where we were given a large Chevapi instead of an extra large. On calling them they offered us to come and collect the FIVE MISSING pieces ... not acceptable .. you may please keep those FIVE pieces and get profitable !!!
Very delicious! I ll be back!
Amazing Bosnian Food. 10/10
Great place to get Balkan specialties
The evapi (chevapi) was awesome. Super delicious and great quality.
The burek is delicious, and I ve only tried a handful of other items from the hot table, which have all been yummy. I m always a bit intimated going in because I don t speak the languages or know the right names for items. I don t know if I m self conscious but I feel like the staff aren t that friendly. I d like to ask more about the food but it doesn t always feel welcoming. I ll keep coming back because what I have had is amazing, and there s only 2 Balkan stores within an hour or two from where I live.
This hidden shop has the best cevapi in town. People drive from long distances just to order lunch from here. Make sure to order ahead of time to pick it up because they cook it when you order at the counter and you end up waiting. Call 15 min ahead of time. They also got these tasty savory burek..was filo pastry stuffed with various things... . Gotta check it out if you are in the area
Amazing!! That says it all.
I am from Winnipeg. I have never came to Toronto without stopping here and buying something. Great and consistent quality.
Fast and friendly services Yummy food Delicious sweet
Disgusting I want compensation I bought a salami and it was expired even before packaging
Best meatballs ever had in Toronto.
Interesting store selling a lot of Balkan deli foods. We bought some food to take home for dinner. I think they had forgotten about our order but we reminded them. Food was okay.
Great
Good food and prices
Love the food and place Must try place if you want to eat Balkan Cuisine, very tasty. We had chevapi and loved every bit of it. Super amazing.
Business sells expired meat products, cevapi box had an expiry date pertaining to August 2023. When issue was brought to shop runners, their reaction was aggressive. Did not even apologize for not checking the refrigerators for expired products. Instead, insulted and accused that the said product was bought back in Aug.2023!!!! Be careful if a customer of this place...better try buying similar products in other places.
Great fresh and dried veal, beef or sheep meat, good cakes, amish supply of butter and sour cabbage, Balkan sourced teas and cookies. evapi fresh prepared to dine in or take out. A bit tight for customers to pass by in the rush hour. My hubby claims thats the charm of the store. I wouldnt quite agree.
Amazing from from home!
I m Palestinian, but I have some Bosnian and Serbian friends and I ve had a lot of Balkan food over the years. This place is in my opinion makes some of the best food I ve had since I came to Canada. I had a little bit of everything and it s all excellent, but the Chevapi is 10/10 you have to try it!
It was before better Quality
Everything was so delicious. The stuff are very friendly and welcoming. We tried almost everything, my favourites are borek and kofte. I really recommend
If you haven t tried the chevapi here you simply need to! The food is seriously delicious and the employees super helpful. Def a hidden gem!
This place is really good. Try their chevapi, burek and roasted lamp!
Ordered some products online for delivery to Saskatchewan. Didnt expect much to be honest. But everything arrived fast and everything was fresh. Ill be ordering again soon.
Try burek and chevapi
Great food and nice staff. The Chevapi was delicious! All the meat served is halal. The large Chevapi had 10 sausages. Very juicy and fresh!
I bat the kebabs in these places and I find tha metal wires on the kebabs.
Such a unique, cozy spot in the middle of nowhere. The chevapi was delicious and the staff were very friendly and helpful.
The Turkish coffee and the burek were an amazing combination. It was also my first time to have burek, and I thought it tasted delicious. If you would find yourself in Etobicoke, this bakery is worth a visit!
Excellent food and service! Everyone was super friendly.
Good dry meat but people are alil down face
Very rude staff no customer service skills.
Great products. Friendly faces. They always have what I need.
Bosnia in a box.
Burek on point
Very friendly and professional people and food, food is AWESOME
Thank you, its was delicious
One the most favorite place in GTA for south eastern Europians. Great food, excellent quality, pleasant stuff and variety of products.
Love the Burek!
While there are still several options in Toronto/GTA for people from the Balkan region looking for a taste of home, the options are really lacking compared to what we had 10+ years ago. There are some quite expensive, merely not bad, options, but nothing I can think of that stands out. Except Mrakovi . I first visited here about 10 years ago, and recall not being blown-away. Lets chock it up to it being an off day, or just faulty memory on my behalf. A few months back, I decided to revisit the IYKYK Etobicoke institution after hearing lots of praise for it lately from various sources. This time around I ended up falling deeply in love with the classic Balkan delicacies on board, and would become a weekly/bi-weekly patron moving forward. Ive not had it all, but the things that are superlative iterations of their respective selves are: the evapi (with the lepinja of course), the sa , and goulash. Ive always preferred Serbian style evaps, which prominently feature pork (and, to my tastebuds, slightly altered seasoning levels- maybe more salt-heavy), but I havent found myself at all missing the pig at Mrakovi with their succulent, perfectly cooked, meat cylinders. Absolutely top-notch evapi, potentially the best in the city at current. That is a must on any visit, but so is the sa , which is simply seasoned, but profoundly flavourful. For those unfamiliar, sa is a simplified umbrella term for things cooked under a large (steel?) bell, where everything is left in one vessel to cook and absorb the others juices. Its a deceptively simple dish, but one not to be missed under any circumstance- Mrakovi s veal sa in particular is just heaven on a plate, my gosh! The goulash is also absolutely fantastic. Actually, my lone criticism is regarding the burek, which is not my favourite- is it filled with cottage cheese vs. feta which Im used to and prefer? Few times Ive had it, I felt it couldve been baked a few minutes more- tasted a bit raw-, but thats my only complaint to speak of. Okay, and maybe how cramped it is in there! Other than that, I always greatly look forward to visits here. Highly recommended!
The new Chicken Chevapi is so loaded with salt that if you want a heart attack go for it, it exceeds 3 days worth of recommended daily salt intake, cant taste anything but salt it is disgusting!!!!!
Good food, not so good customer service
Even if order and pay same day shipping you will get that after 5or more working days , so dont do that , losing money
Products are good but beware where you buy them ! Burgers and Chevapi are much cheaper if you buy at Metro than in the store directly - really a shame. Example: a couple of days ago, Big Balkan Burger at Metro (Etobicoke) $15.99, in store $22 ! Quite a difference.... Similar price difference for Chevapi as well.
Love their food. They also have quite the option of things from backhome, so thats also very nice.
Incredible Balkan food that s always fresh. Will definitely be coming back
Fewer yolks in cevaps and the paper in which the frozen cevaps and burgers are wrapped is too sticky for the meat
A nice local restaurant with tasty Bosnian dishes
I ve never had better cevapi in my life. The burek is amazing wait for a fresh batch as it comes out every few minutes. Service is 10/10 as well. The girls who work there are so kind. Love this place. I try to go every week.
There are variety of items you can select from. Grocery items, cooked food . There are dine in facilities too. I can observe the quality of the goods as well as the service.
Nice euro shop. A bit pricey. Good ready made foods
The best off
Great spot for chivape. Purchased it in bulk and froze it for BBQing later.
The Cevapi and Burek are always amazing. Great supplier of Balkan foods and goodies that I often crave from back home. Wish it was closer to home or at least open slightly later to be able to make it there more often.
The best
Love Markovic Meat&Deli,their Cevape,Buric and Pastries are always fresh and delicious.I find a lot of my cooking needs, soups and snacks as well,great experience! Their frozen burek and cevape are also worth trying,if your up to cooking your own,Enjoy!!!
Their cevapi and meat burek are so good! All cooked fresh, but they also have frozen ones available for you to cook.
Exquisite
You people are incompetent! Who the hell packs hamburgers, stacked on top one another with just plastic wrap in between and freezes them!? I couldnt separate the patties, even after putting them in boiling hot water! I got so fed up I threw them out and went to Harveys. Total waste of my money! Do not not by their hamburgers, they are a waste! Never buying your brand again.
Best of the Best
Super quality food, cultured staff. Praise.
Great pastries, fast service and friendly service
Natalia is horrible - very rude.
This is my go to place for chevapi! They have a great selection of hot foods for a great price. Would highly recommend!
Love the evapi from their kitchen. My go to. Burek is also good, although they dont always have meat and potato burek, which is my favorite. Nice staff as well.
Nice delicious food
Best cevapi in the city
Very first stop for your Balkan region product needs. Get your veal, cevapi and various other items. Highly recommended!
I will give 5 stars but I have to say that the ajvar I tried for the first time in one hand is great but it is too sweet if you put only half of the sugar you are putting now it will be great. Red peppers are sweet on their own, so it is unnecessary to add a lot of sugar. The best ajvar is Ba ajvar, and you are in the same class if you reduce the sugar, because all of us from those Balkan areas do not like sugar like Americans, adding it to every recipe. All Im trying to say is....cut back on the sugar and itll be awesome.
Mans travel to Toronto from Montreal just for these cevapi mane....Thank you Mrakovic for the best cevapi ever!! And also for letting us dine inside now - atmosphere is so lovely! Please consider opening a location in Montreal !!! Cheers
This was the most homemade-like food Ive ever eaten in a restaurant. I tasted like my grandmother had cooked this meal! I highly recomend coming here for lunch or dinner. The products they offer in the market are also unique and hard to come by elsewhere.
This establishment definitely deserves the highest praise! Incredibly delicious ready-made meals! Very friendly owner! We turned up 5 minutes before closing, but they served us and gave the child a chocolate bar! I sincerely recommend visiting this store!
Best kebabs in Toronto
Love Mrakovi I have been coming here for years...its like a mini visit home to Croatia. The food is amazing, the service is wonderful. Theres no better place to get evapi or burek! Thank you and I am very glad that I can buy what my heart desires from you.
Simply great. Try it and you will see. When you also see locals or families come to get food here you know its good. Taste something and you will be convinced. Thank you
Top
Best in town for all Balkan food/ snack and meats. They have the best on the go Cevapis and boxed frozen cevapis and pljeskavica and the best Kajmak. Highly recommend
Incredible! Chevpi are truly amazing
Good food
We used to love this place, and would travel almost an hour for their food, but it s been getting really bad over the years. They have canceled our orders for events without calling us and with no remorse or offer to fix the problem. Food quality has declined, customer service has become horrible, and they never answer the phone. We will be taking our business to Sarajevo Bar and Grill moving forward.
A delightful Balkan centered deli and food store. The hot prepared food is delicious and the shelves are filled with ethnic packaged products that, no doubt, are staples back home. Their fresh bread is excellent and I always stock up on jars of stuffed peppers, and different pickles and relishes. The store is busy and crowded at times but the plentiful staff are helpful, knowledgeable and very friendly. Their deli meats are delicious and some cuts are not that common. Parking is plentiful, including a handicap spot. I recommend for an interesting ethnic deli to explore and enjoy on a fun outing.
The burgers taste alright but just the packaging will make me never buy them again. Got a package of 6 burgers and had to defrost all of them just to separate 1 from the stack. Unbelievable. There are much better halal choices that taste better and are much easier to separate.
Amazing taste
Superb!
Very disorganized serving, long long wait.
Did not know they dont sell pork products
Lovely store! I have found my favorite childhood Smoki snack there and my online order was shipped immediately! So excited to receive well packed box today and enjoyed Smoki after many years far from home! Hvala vam puno, mnogo ste me obradovali! Veliki pozdrav
best place!
Very great place I love it I field like back home I come back 100000 and more.Byrek was amazing,only my mom did same million for everything.I love Mrakoviç
The best place likely in Canada to get an assortment of Balkan food and delicacies. Truly a full complement of everything. Mrakovic and their quality has taken over and dominates the Ontario market.
the food is good Decently priced and halal. Borek is great and always ready to go.
The best cevapi Ive had and meat burek
