    Interesting food. Nice pie, kind of tastes like pasta. I got the meat one. Would recommend.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Really good pies... or I think they're called pies... The bread is very crispy and flaky. It's cheap and filling.

    My first burek was the meat burek. It was very tasty and a great bargain at $4.50. Will stop in again when in the neighborhood.

    The meat inside the meat burek is flavorful, not dry like some other meat burek that we've tried in the past.
