I was helped very quickly. It was my first time going there even though I've lived in the neighborhood for 25 years. The food was delicious. I tried one of each of what they had on offer(cheese, spinach and cheese, or meat filling). It was very flavorful and I'll definitely be going back. I have to say though, that my favorite was the meat filling. read more

Really great Burek and it's very close to the Bronx zoo so you can make a trip of the day if you're coming from Manhattan. Everything is tasty and fresh, and clearly not that healthy! The meat pie is the best of them. Service is very Balkan and honestly is exactly waht you want when you come to a spot like this. They lack air conditioning, and really the pies are better in the winter which makes it harder to do as a Bronx Zoo field trip, but again that's your decision how you handle that. On a hot day the shop is maybe too much to handle if you're temperature sensitive. I'd eat it again, it's great, get the yogurt to go with it. read more

Dukagjini Burek - meat pie - Bakeries Near Me - Bronx, New York

If you truly want to have a burek, (Balkan dish) this is the place. The bureks are not shy in the FILLING (meat, spinach and cheese) and the bureks aren't DRY. By far one of the best bureks in NYC and a must. In addition, the staff are so friendly and welcoming. read more

If I could leave more than 5 stars I would. Always friendly, super helpful and fresh delicious burek and yogurt. They sell them either per slice or pies, usually we pick up meat and cheese, and today we ordered spinach as well. These are delicious!! Super flaky and tasteful, big portions. The establishment is really clean, the bathroom is past the pizza over, but also clean. Well worth the drive from Jersey! read more

I've never had a a home cooked burek before, but I imagine this is damn close. The lovely ladies working the counter and the ovens were quick to greet you with a smile and to take your order. I ordered a meat burek pie to go, and I was genuinely surprised that I was in and out within 8minutes max! Burek stayed nice and hot, surviving a 30 min walk home, and it was the perfect combination of flakey and chewy goodness. Not at all too salty and quite enjoyable. I definitely plan of visiting again soon. *They also surve Burek by the slice (which is a quarter of a pie)* read more

Dukagjini Burek - Half a Meat Pie Burek - Bakeries Near Me - Bronx, New York

This place is so tasty it is trouble! I was looking for a quick bite near Pelham Parkway and stumbled upon Dukagjini Burek on an online search. Having no clue what a burek was I proceeded to do some research and uncovered that I hadn't been doing life right as I had been depriving myself of the joys of the flakiest and tastiest of savory pastries in the Bronx. I had to correct this asap! I went on a weekday afternoon and fully reveled in the delights of burek. I really intended to get more than one slice but the burek was very filling and I couldn't make it past one. I was able to snag a table and throughly enjoyed seeing how the bureks at DB brought a really diverse group of people together. I heard Spanish, Albanian, Arabic, and English. Young and old. Locals galore. That's how you know the place is reallllly good. Fresh out the oven. Flavorful. Greasy deliciousness. Try it, you might just become a regular! read more

Dukagjini Burek - Bakeries Near Me - Bronx, New York

Easy and delicious! The ladies at the front are so friendly and the food is quite affordable for a quick bite. I've never had Balkan pies before but I loved my experience of it! I got a meat slice and a spinach and cheese slice, and a regular recommended the yogurt as well. The yogurt adds a fun "coolness" to the pie and lightens it up. We had a lot of fun trying this and the ladies were so helpful with choosing different slices to try! read more

Dukagjini Burek - Menu March 2025 - Bakeries Near Me - Bronx, New York

After a day at the Bronx zoo I wanted something new and local to the area before heading back to Manhattan. This is the spot! I got a beef pie and the lady cut it in half so I can eat the rest later but it's so good I ate it all in one sitting and took the spinach home. Friendly service and A rating for cleanliness. I'll be back next time I go see the gorillas. read more

Very nice staff with great smiles. I ordered the meat burek. Even though I'm not Albanian, it was a very delicious and tasty meat pie that it reminded me of my mom's cooking. I'm going to be working close by for the next two weeks. Now I know where I'm getting my lunch from. read more

Dukagjini Burek - Bakeries Near Me - Bronx, New York

It's relatively pricey for a "slice" especially if you think of it like pizza. But undoubtedly very, very good. The spinach is better than the plain cheese one. read more

Is this a place you should drive out of your way for from another borough? Unless you love burek SO much that you're willing to pay tolls to cross bridges and brave traffic for? Probably not. Is this a place you should visit if you're in the area of close enough to it? Absolutely, yes! The thing to get here is obviously burek because that is what they sell here and the burek at Dukagjini is superb and as close to authentic as you can get outside of Albania. The burek is fresh, flaky, and delicious and the simplicity of the menu makes it easy for you choose between meat, cheese, and spinach, which are all equally good but very different from one another. I loved the ooey gooey goodness of the cheese, the flavor of the meat, and the freshness of the spinach, and as I said you can't go wrong with one, two, or all three but beware of the portions, which are generous and quite filling. The lovely people who work here are very sweet and helpful so grab yourself a slice or a pie along with an espresso or cappuccino and experience one of the best of the Balkans! Excellent spot to check out if you're in the Bronx! read more

Dukagjini in Pelham Gardens has gotten a lot of buzz. And because I had heard great things about it, I wanted to try my hand at it too. This no-bells-and-whistles setting has wall plaques, indoor dining and a digital overhead menu listing nothing but bureks, their plain yogurt and coffee. For me, it's all about the greens- so picking up 2 Spinach Bureks to try, had to happen. Dukagjini bureks are pimped out with a nice amount of spinach+cheese and an overwhelming dose of onions. My mom especially- liked the combination of having that phyllo golden top and the burek's doughy bottom. Service was friendly and swift. But that flaky, phyllo, buttery sheen top for me- was everything. read more

I've been here twice already. The servers are very friendly and the food is fresh and good. I got the spinach and cheese burek. So filling.

If you guys want all of the business that you can get then you should learn some customer service skills!! One thing I absolutely hate as a foodie is when I walk into a place excited to try the food and they are short and rude!! It is the worst feeling when someone like myself asks about their food and we barely get an answer. Don't just treat the Albanian customers good!!! First of all they are not going to be the bulk of your customers because they make It at home and rarely go out to buy it!! The majority of your customers will be those who cannot make this at home and really want to enjoy the food and experience!!! They can become your regulars!!! Smile and be friendly to every single customer that walks into your place because each one matters...and you don't want anyone to leave unsatisfied because word spreads!! Make sure everyone who enters is happy and leaves speaking greatness about your business. All customers, no matter where they are from and what language they speak are important to a successful food place!! So the next time anyone walks in your place, especially if they are black!!! Make sure they feel welcome and not hurt by any racial discrimination because that is not the way any customer should feel when they simply want to purchase your food!! Amen!! read more

It's like a stuffed pizza,addictive. It's absolutely delicious.you can't just do one and it's not expensive. I'll be a regular now

Amazing. The burek and yogurt were both delicious and some of the best i've ever had. The customer service was amazing, they were extremely friendly and nice and even offered us free yogurt. read more

This place is where you go to for genuine bureks, the "Dukagjini" in the name of this restaurant is an area in Albania where the owner is from. There is no variety in their menu but that's actually the strength of this place. You can get in and out quickly faster than a typical order at your local deli while also having it hot and fresh as a result of them constantly creating burek pies for other customers and to portioning them out. The portion size is not something to be upset at despite it seeming small since it is caloric dense, making it extremely filling. With the only item made being the bureks, you do not have any other flavors masking the taste of it. Definitely a good place if you are commuting somewhere and this is on the way, as a local, or if you wanted a genuine burek. read more

Just delicious. I'm from CA but make a point to visit when in NY. Warm, welcoming, fresh. My favorite is the meat, but also love the spinach. It's really nice to eat a cup of fresh, tart, creamy yogurt along with the savory burek. So lucky to get to come here. read more

I had been dying to try this place for months and finally, after going for a run with my girlfriend I got a chance to stop by and bring home a take out Burek. I didn't want to get the cheese variety just because I was worried it would be too heavy so I opted for the meat flavour and bought a couple of single cheese burek slices to go as well. The dough is crispy and light on the outside and warm and flaky inside. There is a good filling to dough ratio and this is definitely to be considered a comfort food. It's filling and will make you feel warm and full, like visiting grandma and eating her food. I would definitely get more burek if/whem I'm in the area. They're located in my girlfriend's neighborhood so I'm nearby pretty often especially since it will get warmer soon and our runs will likely be more often. I think the best thing to do is to get a whole meat burek and supplement with a couple cheese and even spinach flavours for some variety. read more

Oh my god, catalog this under "most recent discovery". Don't tell this Albanian girl I know (Bora Durrsi), she already has enough of an ego. If you're lucky enough, you can catch the cashier pull the byrek from the oven, cut it into slices, and listen to the sweet crunch of the blade ripping into the flaky crust. *Moans* it's some real life audible porn. Menu's really simple: meat byrek, spinach byrek, cheese byrek, and yogurt. What meat? Good question. I thought it'd be funny to leave as a mystery but for the sake of prosperity, it's beef. My friend was under the impression that years ago, he had the spinach with cheese inside. It could be a deep seeded fantasy or they decided to separate the ingredients. No word yet on whether they can combine them, but that's the exact reason I need to come here again. I tried asking what the yogurt was for. The cashier was confused and then I was confused, then my friend was confused, and now everybody's confused. I put it on my byrek to accent the savory taste of beef, so whether or not I was supposed to do that, it was tasty. FOOD HAS NO RULES! Card minimum is $10 but she kindly charged me for less. But I'm gonna stick to the $10 minimum. For a filling slice at $4.50, I feel like I'm stealing from them, if they're paying a card fee. I can see byrek becoming a trend; it's that good. It's so simple and tasty. Why isn't this a thing yet? Ugh, I can't wait to go back. read more

Dukagjini Burek - Bakeries Near Me - Bronx, New York

Places like Dukagjini Burek is one of the many reasons I love NYC. Where else can I find an awesome spot like this right in my backyard? I first discovered DB through one of my mother's colleagues. He's Albanian and when one of my brothers mentioned wanting to try authentic burek he directed us here. The menu is simple and no frills; they serve three varieties of burek (meat, cheese, and spinach), homemade yogurt, espresso, and cappuccino - that's it. Wanting to get the full burek experience, we picked up a slice of each variety to take home. The burek was really good, I'm a sucker for cheese so that was definitely my favorite - but really they were all great. The phyllo dough was flaky with the right amount of filling and full of flavor. I definitely want to return for more burek and try their yogurt. I'm glad I got to discover and enjoy something new and different - a winner all around! read more

My favorite place in the Bronx to get burek! It's always served hot and fresh. Crispy and flaky crust with delicious fillings. The ladies behind the counter are always super nice to me. This place is usually pretty busy and you can always see customers carrying out boxes and boxes of burek pies - because they are the best of the best! read more

The burek here is always fresh out of the oven because they are so busy with customers. I often have to wait 20 or 30 minutes for them to make more, but it's worth it. I just go shopping or to the library or sit in the park and wait. The spinach burek is the absolute best. Crisp, savory, cheesy, and delicious. Hits the spot. The workers are all very nice and friendly. I see some customers getting the yogurt drink too and consume both the burek and the yogurt together. I'll try it next time. Highly recommend! read more

Simply the best. I love ethnic food. Simple menu made by Albanians (family owned) and eaten by Albanians! I just trespass sometimes to eat it!!!! The golden standard that I have developed is that if an ethnic food is eaten by the same ethnicity then the owners are doing it right! I LOVE SPINACH AND BEEF BUREK. A burek is an Albanian stuffed pizza. Get a yogurt (freshly made) and eat it. Been there plenty of times, always left happy as their standard is maintained and clean. Small place and best if you eat your first Burek there and then take out. Can be eaten as a snack with tea coffee or as a meal. Get the whole pie or a slice is up to you. A pie is about medium pizza. Parking around the block is a challenge! Highly recommended ethnic food! read more

I never knew what a Burek was, and I'm grateful my first was from this establishment. The ladies are kind, the slices are huge (enough for a 2-person split), and the fillings are delightful. Always a smash dinner w. a salad. Cannot go wrong with any of their selections. read more

In and out with two slices cheese and two slices spinach in about 45 seconds. Fed two of us well, though it was plainly a cheat meal. Despite the presence of a vegetable, this isn't health food. Never had burek before; coulda used more salt and I wish the spinach layer were thicker (though the amount of cheese in the cheese slices seemed just right to me). The texture of burek itself is as you've probably read: like a puff pasty, but fewer layers. The cheese one was a bit doughier than the spinach one. Don't know if that's a bug or a feature. Both textures were good. read more

Don't worry about Drive-bys in The Bronx. Especially not if the Direct TV Genie is the person driving by. I mean, firstly, if you're going to get shot, it's better to get shot by her. No? And secondly, this place has you covered. Whenever she drives by to shoot at you, the owners will scream "Duck! A Genie!" Which is why the name of the place is, of course... "Duckagenie Burek." What to get: Meat Burek What else: Hannah Davis is a hottie There is a Bosnian restaurant in Buffalo, NY named Balkan Dining which is by far the best Slavic food I've ever eaten in my life. It's off-the-charts good, it's a 6/5 rating. There's only one other Slavic place in the country that compares to that, and I've tried plenty. It's here, at Duckagenie, where they make the most delicious, steaming, hot, meaty, juicy, orgasmic Burek you will ever put in your mouth. If you've never had Bosnian meat in your mouth before, and never felt Bosnian meat juice going down your throat, it's time to break you in, at Duckagenie. The Burek is like a huge wedge of pizza but with the Greek-style dough instead of Pizza dough, and with all kinds of cheese and oil and onions and potatoes and meat goodness on the inside. It'll burn your mouth if you try and eat it within the first 5 mins of its arrival. I love that NYC knows how to do "hot food" instead of "lukewarm food". At least in this part of the Bronx they do. And it's dirt cheap, and incomparably delicious. It's so good, it's worth making a pilgrimage to the Bronx for (along with Gyro King, Greek Express, S & S Cheesecake, El Atoradero for Mexican, and Louie & Ernie's Pizza). So if you thought that Pelham was only famous for Denzel Washington's sausage, in that movie where he pulls a train, then think again, because Pelham is now the capital of hot juicy Bosnian meat. It's a crime that this place doesn't have hundreds of reviews yet. Come and taste this Burek, and tell me it's not one of the most delicious things you could ever put in your mouth in The Bronx, baby. read more

Dukagjini Burek - This is a Burek. Not to be confused with a "Brr-wreck" which is when you crash your car in winter. - Bakeries Near Me - Bronx, New York

The burek is amazing here, I always stop in every time I am in the Bronx. The staff is awesome and always nice.

As longtime NYC'ers we opted to spend a different day of the July 4th break in a different borough. Stopping here part of our Bronx Day. Excellent, I had the meat she had the veggies and cheese. After eating we walked through the Botanical Gardens towards Arthur Avenue, where we shopped for Italian groceries to bring home. read more

Usually when I visit my best friend in the Bronx, I like to take that opportunity and see what the Bronx has to offer back! With the help of Yelp, I decided to stop here for lunch and try one of their famous Burek ($4). I opted for their meat instead of the other two choices, which is either their cheese or spinach. Initially I thought their Burek was a bit too pricey but once I had it, I realize for one Burek, it really does it's job and it felt like a meal. The meat (wish there was more) was very flavorful and I enjoy the crunchy dough outside and the softness inside. My best friend (we shared) also had some and thought it was very delicious. I would definitely come back here again and let's say I would recommend it to anyone that lives near by the neighbor. Their Burek was certainly fresh and delicious. As far as decor goes, this place is a hole in a wall but honestly who really cares. read more

I love New York because of random places like this. Wondering around the Bronx, I thought I would be getting some pizza, some Puerto Rican food, maybe some tacos, but nope, I found this super authentic Burek spot. You can argue all day if the burek is Albanian, Turkish, or from another European country. But there is no argument that these are delicious. I enjoyed one meat slice and it was just what I needed. Some meat and hand made dough, that was super crispy on top and soft on the inside to perfection. The offer a few other options of the burek and yogurt. This made my day. read more

Dukagjini Burek - Chicken Burek - Bakeries Near Me - Bronx, New York

Incredible food! So much (you really only need one slice), for such a great price. This was my first time having burek, sampled the cheese and the spinach, my husband also had the meat. All were fantastic. Similar to a Greek spanakopita, which makes sense due to the Balkan commonality, but I liked this even better. The dough has a bit more of a chew to it, while still being endlessly flaky. Fillings were fresh and the slices came out H O T !!!! Fast & casual with a few seats, the vibe of an Albanian pizza shop. Service was warm and the environment was inviting. Loved hearing customers speaking Albanian. Parking is troublesome, but circling around is worth the effort! read more

First time trying Burek and Dukagjini Burek was highly recommended. Definitely don't regret trying. Generous slices served warm.

This has to be the best Burek place in the 5 boroughs. Best cheese pie in NYC. Definitely recommend.
