WEBSTER GROVES, Mo. — Balkan Treat Box at 8103 Big Bend Blvd. in Webster Groves has closed its doors "until further notice," according to social media posts.
"We are closed until further notice. Thank you for your continued support and we hope to see you soon!" posts on both Facebook and Instagram said.
In a Facebook post Wednesday, the restaurant said, "Our Balkan family has suffered a loss, and we're taking some time to grieve. We'll be back soon, and we appreciate your patience and support during this difficult time."
A three-time James Beard Award nominee, Nalic co-owns the restaurant, which first opened in 2019, with her husband Edo Nalic. The two also co-own Telva at The Ridge in Webster Groves with Edo's brother and sister-in-law, Emir and Erna Nalic. Telva opened in January of this year and appears to still be operating.
Balkan Treat Box began as a food truck in 2016, which quickly earned local accolades and shoutouts from national publications like Travel + Leisure and Food & Wine.
