Woke up at 7 am to make sure I tried these burekas!! We went around 9:30 am when the shop just opened, and I could see they already were making tons of fresh burekas of all flavors. The concept of this shop is so cute and cozy, each bureka comes with a box filled with a hard boiled egg, pickles, olives and sauces. We tried the spinach artichoke and the roasted carrot. Both were so buttery and flakey, exactly what we wanted from a bureka. The roasted carrot was such a unique experience, it tasted exactly like a Thanksgiving dish. The seating is exclusive to outside but we were lucky to snag a standing table inside. Portions are also pretty big, deff can share if you're not too hungry! read more

I'd been wanting to try this spot for a while , it's still fairly new and I knew the influencer scene was making it making it jam packed with long lines. I had some time this morning so I decided to check it out. I'm not an early breakfast person but when I saw the shop was empty I convinced my stomach it was time to eat. The 2 gentleman on staff recommended the cheese bureka as it was my first time. I'd only ever had bureka once before at my friend's home and it was a very long time ago but I remember it was delicious. His mom was visiting and prepared some , I was lucky to be able to partake in her traditional foods . Ok, back on track now. The shop is small with 2 standing counter tables inside and 2 picnic style table/benches outside. So take out would be the best option on a busy day. I stayed inside because it was cold out. The bureaka comes with a boiled egg, 3 sauces/dips ,pickles and green olives. The green sauce is schug ( quite possibly the best I've ever had ) then there's freshly grated tomato and the 3rd is tahini. The bureka is made when you order so it's fresh, hot and flakey. I really enjoyed every last crumb. I can't see myself self getting this for take out , I feel like it's best enjoyed hot on the spot. (Personal choice) The warm cheesey filling was so comforting especially on a cold day. I envied all the families that have had this treat homemade whenever they wanted. I left feeling very satisfied . Next time I'll have the spinach artichoke and then the roasted carrots. I'll also beg to buy some extra schug- perhaps a gallon lol. It was amazing. read more

Small shop, 2 indoor tables to stand at only. Some outdoor space to stand at also. Very very limited selection, like 4 types of burkekas. They are large, can share for a snack. They come with a few different dips...tomato, tahini, shug. Also a hard boiled egg. We got potato and leek. They are certainly not quick. The bureka was tasty, I did enjoy it. But 1 potato/leek bureka was $20. No drinks, no anything extra. $20. That is absolutely outrageous! Hard to recommend this place with prices like that. If you really don't care how much you spend, sure, go enjoy. But I won't be back. read more

I never had a bureka before but after this place, I'm gonna make sure I always get one in New York. This place was so cute in Greenwich Village and the staff were nice as well. As for the bureka itself, we got the spinach artichoke and it was so good. The crust was flaky and light and the filling added a lot of flavor. It paired so well with the sauces and the pickles. It all comes together for an amazing culinary experience. read more

I'd definitely recommend trying Buba Bureka! Burekas are savory pastries, and this spot came highly recommended. Two friends and I visited around 1 p.m. on a Saturday and were happy to find that there were only a few people in line and all the flavors were available. We'd heard the best things about the spinach artichoke and potato burekas ($18 each), so we decided to split those two and order more if we were still hungry. After placing our order, we managed to grab one of the few "seating" spots (an outdoor small bench with a table rest and a standing table). The burekas came out hot about 5-10 minutes later, cut into four pieces each and served with pickles, olives, three sauces (schug, tahini, and tomato amba), plus two halves of an egg sprinkled with flaky salt. I really appreciated all the accompaniments -- they made it feel more like a rounded meal . My favorite sauces were the schug, which had great flavor with a little kick to it, and the tahini. The tomato one was a bit watery. I expected the spinach artichoke to be my favorite bureka, but the potato one actually ended up winning that spot by a narrow margin. The spinach artichoke was tasty but the flavor of the spinach and artichoke filling was milder than I'm used to. I believe the potato filling came with subtle caramelized onions, which was a nice touch. The pastries were perfectly flaky -- hearty, yet still light. I just wished there was a bit more filling since the edges were mostly pastry. I enjoyed the filled bites plain and used the sauces for the outer, flakier parts. We also had the chance to meet the lovely owner, Ben Simon Tov, who kindly treated us to their new sweet bureka -- a brown butter sweet corn custard with blackberry compote ($7). It was smaller but delicious! Again, I liked eating the center with the custard plain and dipping the edges into the compote. Overall, I enjoyed the experience. I'd say if you're hungry or coming for a full meal, it would be best to get your own. If you're coming for a lighter breakfast or snack, then sharing works well! While I probably won't come back often since I tend to eat on the healthier side, Buba Bureka is absolutely worth trying at least once. I'd consider coming back to try different seasonal flavors! read more

Ever since I first saw the alluring red boxes of Buba Bureka grace my TikTok, I was craving to try. It was a sunny, hazy late summer morning in the West Village on that lucky, fateful day. A weekday, and there was no line. Once I ordered, a 10ish min wait, and I finally had the iconic red box in my hands -- a piping hot, fresh bureka and all the fixins. Ate it standing at the bar table outside. Dammnnnnn so delicious!! Life is full of disappointments, but Buba Bureka did not disappoint! The pastry was savory and crispy, the spinach artichoke filling flavorful and creamy. The piquant, sour, rich, bright, spicy, vibrant flavors of jammy egg, pickles, olives, schug, tahini, grated tomato, provided perfect contrast. My favorite bite was the juicy fresh tomato with the salty savory bureka. Such a great Israeli-style breakfast. read more

Feels a little overpriced for the size of the bureka but it tasted good and the tomatoes and zhoug were a nice addition. Zhoug had almost a minty aftertaste which was nice.

Long stroll around Washington Square, SoHo and the Village with a friend, I knew we were near Buba (and Salt Hanks). I knew I had a better chance that my friend would want to share at Buba so we went there first. No line at lunchtime, after Labor Day?! Lucky timing for us. We had the potato bureka and enjoyed every bite, including all the extras (egg, olives, pickles, schug, crushed tomatoes). $18 Had a nice chat with one of the partners (sorry don't know name, without beard) ... I was the customer who asked if they would consider offering 2 flavors in one order (half and half). I definitely want to come back to try the cheese, corn and artichoke, but need another friend open to sharing. Delish, thank you! Hope you expand to other locations in the future. Finally, be on the lookout for their upcoming cookbook. Mazel tov! read more

Buba Bureka has officially stolen my breakfast-loving heart. Tucked away in the neighborhood, this cozy spot serves the flakiest, most flavorful burekas I've had. We tried the spinach/artichoke and corn flavors--both were packed with savory fillings and wrapped in golden, crispy pastry that melts in your mouth. Each bureka comes with perfectly boiled eggs and a side of tomato sauce that balances the richness so well. Not only is the food delicious, but it's also a surprisingly wholesome and satisfying breakfast. The portions are generous without feeling heavy, and everything tastes homemade in the best way. The vibe is casual and warm, and the staff is super friendly. It's the kind of place you'll find yourself craving again the next morning. 10/10 recommend if you're looking for a comforting and unique breakfast/lunch spot! read more

Huge fan of Breads Bakery's potato bureka, so when I heard that the Breads Bakery owner was a part owner here, I knew I needed to come check it out! I'm a huge fan of burekas and this one did not disappoint! I got the potato, and filling came out warm and the dough perfectly flaky! I also like how they provide 3 different sauces to eat alongside your bureka, and some pickles, olives, and hard boiled egg. It's definitely a great breakfast for one, or two! read more

First off, the burekas are 5 stars. I'll get to my issues in a minute. I love all the varieties of products across the borek belt - from Tunisian briq (which I'll be eating in sunny Sidi Bou Said in a few weeks) to the gül böreği that I pick up from Simit Sarayı as soon as I land at IST, I love all things borek. The Levantine boureka is expertly executed here - with a dab of tahini, it is honestly ethereal. My gripe? They need to limit the number of bourekas per order given the amount of hype here, or prioritize small orders like Apollo Bagels does to manage their line. I was stuck behind a very inconsiderate customer (you know who you are Natalie) who ordered 10 borek plates at a busy time of the morning breakfast rush. They're still selling out early, so these types of orders should be limited in some way by the store. read more

Wow!! I am totally amazed by the quality of the product and how unlike this food choice is from anything else in NYC. These flakey bagel/croissant hybrids are absolutely to die for and are stuffed with all kinds of things. A little pricey but that's because you're getting a crazy fresh and specific product. They also put a whole egg on the plate. That alone costs them $1-2 in food costs. Anyways, don't miss this spot. They are only open for breakfast & early lunch so beware of their hours. Lovely service Nd ambience. 5/5. We'll be back SOON!! read more

Friendly service, clean store, and the best burekas I've ever had! It was cold out so I ordered the soup as a side, and it was delicious. I've seen a couple reviews about there not being enough filling, but from my experience baking, if these were filled much more they would become sloppy: fork and knife needed. I think these are perfect and like that they are truly a hand held pastry. Arrived around 9:30 on a Sunday morning and there wasn't a line. Win win! read more

Feels like home!! Lovely little spot with the crispiest borekas you can find. I took the spinach and artichoke which was really really good. Honestly don't like a regular cheese borekas since gvinat bulgarit is too salty and the texture is off putting when hot. The little bit of cheese in the spinach artichoke was really well balanced and the buttery and flaky phyllo was perfection. The olives brought me back to the shuk and the tomato and schug were such a good compliment. The schug while not spicy had a fresh and herbaceous flavor that was really well done. Would love to come back and try some more. Thank you!!! read more

Ever since I saw this on social media, I've been wanting to give this place a try. Hubs and I shared the Spinach artichoke bureka classic buba box. We were pleasantly surprised at how much we enjoyed this. We don't usually care anything with phyllo dough but they did something to make us change our mind! The mystery green sauce was delicious and the eggs were a nice touch. Hubs said that he would choose to eat this over the overrated spinach artichoke pizza elsewhere! Only thing we wish is that this would be more of a restaurant with seating because we're not fans of eating in the car. LOL read more

We are on another fun eating trip through NYC & had to try Buba. I make burekas all the time so was curious to compare. I ordered a cheese bureka and received a box loaded with a very large bureka, & side goodies like pickles, olives, tahini, & a tomato sauce. The bureka was loaded with cheese, wrapped in layers of phyllo, & topped with sesame seeds. It was very tasty & a good quick meal to eat on the go. Although it was great, the $16 cost seemed a bit high. However the place was packed with customers so price is not an objection, lol. read more

Buba Bureka is brought to you by Chef Siman-Tov )aka, BenGingi, from Breads Bakery), which is a breakfast-lunch takeout counter that had just opened up (currently in its soft opening stage) in Greenwich Village. All burekas are served with pickles, crushed tomatoes, and a jammy egg (my favorite!). We tried: +the potato bureka +the spinach artichoke bureka +and, the sweet corn bureka You can also add olives and/or crunch veggies with tahini as a side. Even though there was a line, the staff were pretty efficient and kept the line moving; they were friendly, too! A nice little snack to have. +burekas +friendly service read more

I haven't tried a lot of popular Israeli food so this was my first time having a boureka. The service was great. Very quick and efficient given the demand. We ordered the spinach artichoke boureka and I ate every little bite. Perfectly cooked with the right temp and crispiness when served. The tomato crush and tahini sauces were delicious and a nice contrast. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because of the lack of seating. There is no seating inside and just 2 tables outside where you have to stand and eat. I'm sure it's part of the allure (they usually sell out before noon) and experience but it wasn't comfortable to stand and eat. read more

Stopped in after seeing the hype online.. never had a Bureka but the flakey crust and accompinients looked too good to pass up! I was expecting a long line as I saw that they often close early and sell out but to my surprise, early in a Saturday morning, myself and two other people were the first customers after 8am. The small location is accessible from w 4th street and Washington square subway, with room for a few people to stand inside and order.. there is not any seating, they just have two high tops outside for standing. I decided to go with potato and took a walk to Washington square park to enjoy. The Bureka was flakey, hot, somewhat crispy, with oozey potato filling. They serve with a hard boiled egg which is cooked to perfection in my opinion, with olives, pickles, and a tomato like paste and tahini I believe. The Bureka was pretty good and flavorful.. although some pieces had a strong taste- maybe a bit burnt on the bottom. I would definitely recommend checking out, it was a great first experience for me. read more

I shared an iG video with a coworker (who also enjoys foodie options) and he went there on a day after work and discovered they close around 12pm. He made a second attempt yesterday, called me and read off the choices. I selected the spinach and artichoke Burrek and he chose cheese. I didn't have the chance to eat mine fresh, as he delivered it to me some time later and I was preoccupied with work. I reheated half of the burek and ate half a perfectly done egg. I found the spinach and artichoke burek with the 3 accompanying sauces absolutely delicious. Even later, reheated the other half and just delighted at the flavors. My coworker did not find that his choice (cheese) was anything special and also stated he thought the price was a bit high and the egg, pickle and olives were unnecessary. read more

A friend told me I had to try this place while in NYC and she was absolutely right -- it was amazing! I had never had a bureka before, though I was familiar with the general idea from Greek cooking. This was truly exceptional and delicious. Flaky pastry, just the right amount of filling (I had the spinach & artichoke, and next time I want to try the cheese), the sauces were a perfect accompaniment, and the pickles, olives, and hard boiled egg rounded out the meal. For $16 in NY, it was a steal. In fact, one order could make a light lunch for two... though I must confess, I devoured the whole thing pretty quickly, lol (see photo)... It was a really special and satisfying experience... and I'm a professional private chef, so I can be, shall we say, a little particular about my food. This place scored high all around. Oh, and the staff are genuinely friendly and welcoming. Don't miss it! read more

We only do one thing -- crispy, flakey, perfectly golden baked burekas. Served with pickles, olives, crushed tomato, tahini, and spicy schug, it's a perfect little meal in a box.

I never had Albanian food before but it was delicious…read more I had a delivery order of Grilled Branzino, Qofte, Veal Meat, Mantia, Fasule, Ajvar, Tarator, Shop Salad, Samuna and Sheqerpare. The stand out dishes were the Branzino, Mantia, Qofte and the Ajvar. The bread is also fantastic! The Sheqerpare dessert, a moist cake soaked in honey, was very tasty. I actually enjoyed everything though the Veal Meat was a little dry. This is an excellent restaurant whose food I thoroughly enjoyed. Packing was excellent. Delivery was quick. Highly recommended.

My first foray into Albanian food and was so surprised by how different it was from Greek food. It was amazing, but perhaps not my favorite cuisine though I am eager to come back and try more. The sausage and cheese dip was not the highlight of the show. The cute fat bread was!! So good. Tried Tava Kosi (lamb with mixture of rice, eggs and yogurt) and Grilled Octopus. Both very good and unique, would recommend the Tavi over the octopus. Can't wait to come back and try their dumplings, more Tava, branzino, other grilled meats and their baklava!

It was a little hard to hear and converse at times as it gets crowded, but the food was delicious and there are really unique items on the menu. Food: The duck shawarma was one of our favorites! The lamb and scallops were also flavorful and tender. The dips were delicious with the pita, but I wish the serving size for the dips were bigger. The fries were great - well seasoned! Also recommend the milky pudding, it was a nice refreshing way to end the dinner. Service: Our server was super helpful in letting us know what items are more shareable and his suggestions for cocktails. Definitely try some of the arak based cocktails.

There were 7 of us The seating was cozy but not cramped. We started with 7 family style small dishes: Hummus with Falafel Pops (chickpea purée, tahini, falafel, olive oil), Spring Burrata (roasted cherry tomatoes, toast, basil oil), Hamachi Crudo (passionfruit vinaigrette, citrus zest, cucumber, mint, sesame tuile), Scallops (carrot puree, serrano pepper, brown butter sauce), Tenderloin Skewer (zaatar chimichurri, fresh herb salad), and Shiitake Stuffed Grape Leaves (tomato coulis, yogurt foam, herbs). Everything was delicious. The hummus was well seasoned the falafel had a nice crunch. It went well with the warm puffy gyro bread that came to the table. The burrata was wasm and creamy. I love the vinaigrette on the fish. I ended up eating most of it. The scallops were the sweetest, most tender ones I have ever had. The tenderloin skewers were tender and well seasoned. I liked the grape leaves but the rice consistency was very soft almost mushy and you can barely tell there were mushrooms. There was barely any mushrooms flavor. Next we all chose an entree. I got the duck breast, my husband and daughter each had the beef tenderloin. The duck breast was smaller than i expected. The skin was nicely seared and very crispy but boy did it give my jaw a workout. It was done medium rare. It was juicy but tough. The small beef tenderloin was tender and smoky. The waiter poured the sauce over the tenderloin for added flavor. Finally dessert was a fruit plate with ice cream and pudding. The fruit was fresh and the flavors of the ice cream and pudding unique. It was a nice end to a good brunch. The price was a little expensive at $85 a person.

The host staff are friendly, helpful, and are genuinely appreciative that you're visiting. Our Server, Elizabeth, did an exceptional job. She went above and beyond with her attentiveness, friendliness, and with her professional recommendations. Even the Artesian Water was sufficient to last throughout the meal. One of Elizabeth's recommendations was the Tzatziki starter (Greek yogurt, English peas, pistachios, dill), to accompany the delicious complimentary puff bread. The following entrees were shared, thoroughly enjoyed, and their presentations were magnificent: Sea Scallops (melon tzatziki, radish, sesame rose spice), Roasted Asparagus (smoked labneh, preserved lemon, za'atar), Spice Roasted Carrots (attiki honey, pepita dukkah, feta, mint, chives). The flavorful journey throughout the Mediterranean is something that I'll always treasure about Zaytinya.

Vibes were great. The food was pretty good. Labneh was thick and exactly how I like it. The celebration rice was yummy, but we paid $10 more for the tiniest amount of chicken. Carrots were sweet and tasty, as expected. Brussels sprouts it's were delicious, I would highly recommend you ordering it to share. Overall, the food was good, but the service definitely needs to improve.

I got to try a variety of different items, inducing: ayran, chicken Adana sandwich on home bread, Turkish tea, and rice pudding. The ayran was probably the best I've ever had in my life. It was so refreshing, the perfect amount of salt, so good. And it's homemade. I would highly recommend you try this drink regardless of what you order, it's that good. The chicken Adana sandwich was also quite nice. The chicken was fresh and well seasoned in a good portion with some lettuce, onions, tomatoes as well. The bread was great. It's served with two wonderful, flavorful sauces: hot sauce and yogurt sauce (I much prefer the latter). Portion is incredible for the price. Then, I was initially interested in trying the fig pudding for dessert but they were out of it, so I went with the rice pudding. Again, a huge portion that is well worth the price. So creamy, so good. And, they brought out 2 Turkish teas for free to make up for not having the fig! The people are just very nice here, and the tea was also lovely, piping hot and just perfect. It's a pretty small restaurant but doesn't get crowded early on. They were playing some Turkish music while I ate, and I really enjoyed it. The people are very kind and attentive and the food is just incredible. Must try!

The birthday coupons are what had brought me in every year, but even though they stopped during Covid, I still enjoy visiting. My go-to dish is the Iskender Kebab - delicious slices of lamb with tomato sauce and yogurt over baked pita bread. I also enjoy the combination platter with dips - the baba ghanoush is delicious. The atmosphere is classy but down-to-earth. The cocktails are tasty. The service can be slow, but it means we are never rushed out. The prices are mid-high, but commensurate with the quality of food. I recently came with a large group, including kids. Service was welcoming despite the chaos. Our bread was frequently replenished and our bottles of wine poured.

Then the food itself arrived and was really delicious and well presented, just look at those kebab plates and dips! They also gave our group free baklava at the end I think just because they felt a little bad they had to rush us, which wasn't even their fault and was super appreciated. Also, the interior decoration is fantastic. The restaurant feels super classy and elegant. Great vibes for a date, a business dinner, or just a fancy dinner. Overall, easy 5 stars.
