    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.

    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!

    This burekas place is UNREAL! I loved the breakfast box and how it came with hard boiled eggs, burekas, tahini, cucumbers and pickles, and a tomato dip which is my favorite, just like my safta makes it. It was 12/10!!!!! The owner is so nice and friendly- I love supporting locally owned small businesses and good people. Highly recommend checking this place out!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Absolutely loved the food. The spinach artichoke bureka was very yummy. The boxes are a bit pricy but definitely worth it. What would make it even better is if the egg is soft boiled and warm. I loved the sauces. Wish the olives didn't seem old. Would highly recommend

    We had the French onion Bureka! This was my first time trying Bureka and wowwwww 10/10 this was amazing!

    Cheese Burekas

    A very good burekas ! We got the cheese burekas and enjoyed them very bite of it . It was crispy and rich and came with all the right sides (tahini , schug, olives etc) Really reminded us home ! Very recommended

    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.

    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!

I also ordered a Diet Pepsi with grenadine; they don't carry Diet Coke, which I almost docked a point for, but the mix was unexpectedly delicious. Highly recommend it. My date ordered the hanger steak and said it was absolutely amazing. Only hiccup: his first glass of wine he got came out hot... like, microwave-level warm. Fortunately, the server brought a new (cold) one and the rest of the meal was smooth sailing. Service was friendly, the vibe was homey and relaxed, and the food was solid across the board. Would definitely come back, especially for that salad and another round of grenadine magic.

It's $25 for unlimited drinks plus food by the way. Which is sad is a deal these days. Anyway, their happy hour is solid enough for a Monday and was meeting up with a friend I hadn't seen in over a year. Place is actually very cute. There are no tvs which I appreciate and the paneling of the walls and decor with all the flowers is quite tasteful. Happy hour deals 4-7pm Mon-Fri & all night Thursday apparently: Aperol Spritz $8, Hugo Spritz $9, Paloma $10, Mules $9, Draft Beers (except Guinness) $7, House Wine $9. As well as 2 Appetizer Bites for $19.95. Not the best but not the worst. I'm normally not a Spritz kind of gal. I think watering down prosecco or wine is heinous. But it was a Monday and I didn't exactly feel like powering down into happy hour so Aperol Spritz it was which switched to a Modelo later. It was the perfect drink situation on a god awful hot as hell day. We also ordered the fish tacos and what initially were the curry fries but they brought out the Greek fries. I wasn't mad about it. Honestly was torn between the two and I don't send food back unless something really bad happened. But it was essentially a side of Caesar salad dressing with feta cheese and generous amount of herbs on a very sparse and frugal amount of crispy standard cut fries. Now I know why it's a 2 for $20 deal. The tacos were 3 in an order which I guess is typical. They weren't bad but nothing stood out to me. I'd come for the drinks or try something else on the menu.
