Last night we tried a Balkan restaurant (Djerdan Burke, 34-04 31st Ave) that boasts that it has the best burek in town. And it does (sample size=1)! Neither of us had eaten a burek before, but it's delicious! Somewhat similar to spanikopita and burekas, this dish has a thin flaky philo dough shell and can be filled with several different items (cheese, spinach, meats). According to an article that was framed on their wall, in Sarajavo restaurants specializing in bureks are analogous to pizza places in New York. Who knew!
We opted for a cheese burek and coupled it with a yummy beef goulash dish that was perfectly spiced. Definitely will be coming back here to try other bureks and Bosnian specialties!
Yummm... It's basically burekas and I can't wait to try it.
