Is Balkan Kitchen clean?
NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) has not published a current health inspection grade for Balkan Kitchen, though it does have an inspection on record from December 15, 2025. That usually means the place is new, recently changed hands, or files under a different name with the city. No rating is not the same as a bad rating.

How New York grades restaurants
New York City health inspectors score violations in points, and lower is better: 0–13 points earns an A, 14–27 a B, and 28 or more a C. Every restaurant is inspected at least once a year, and the letter has to be posted in the window. A restaurant that scores 14 or more on the first inspection of a cycle does not get a letter right away — it stays “Grade Pending” until a re-inspection settles it, which is why some spots here show an hourglass instead of a letter. Cooked only ever shows a letter the city actually posted; we never infer one from a score.
