"Einfach nur Hammer, bestes Civapcici in Stuttgart. Extrem nettes Personal, Top Lage mit sehr entspannt Ambiente und guter Musik. Perfekt für ein kurzes Essen aber auch um mit Freunden und Familie nett beisammen sitzen und länger zu chillen. Update: Der Civapcicibürger einfach nur Hammer lecker, sehr empfehlenswert als schneller Snack wenn man nicht den größten Hunger hat."

"Die 450 gefahrenen Kilometer waren es definitiv Wert dieses sehr schöne Familienbetriebene Restaurant zu besuchen. Das Ambient, die Gastfreundschaft und die Herzlichkeit waren direkt zu spüren. Die Cevapcici sind hervorragend gewesen und kommen dem Original sehr sehr nahe."

"Der Merlin Balkan Grill in Stuttgart ist für mich einer der besten Balkan-Grills in der Gegend. Das Essen schmeckt einfach hausgemacht,saftig, perfekt gewürzt und immer frisch zubereitet. Besonders die Ćevapčići sind top: genau richtig gegrillt, voller Geschmack und nicht trocken. Auch die Portionen sind mehr als fair, man wird definitiv satt. Das Brot ist frisch, die Beilagen passen perfekt dazu und man merkt, dass hier mit Erfahrung und Leidenschaft gekocht wird. Was den Laden zusätzlich ausmacht, ist der freundliche und herzliche Service. Man wird immer nett begrüßt, fühlt sich willkommen und nicht wie irgendeine Nummer. Genau so, wie man es von einem guten Balkan-Grill erwartet. Preis-Leistung stimmt hier zu 100 %. Wer Lust auf ehrliches, richtig gutes Balkan-Essen hat, sollte hier unbedingt vorbeischauen. Ich komme definitiv immer wieder!"
