Really fresh, delicious Burek (which I had never heard of before, but it’s really good). Doesn’t look like much from the outside but I recommend checking it out.
Holy BLEEP finally chevap that’s the real deal. Just as good as I had during my Balkan travels. I will be back for your burek and homemade kajmak!!
Pitalka is an absolute bargain and is one of the exquisite breads I’ve ever had in North America. They’re just $1.50 each, freeze beautifully so stock up. They make absolutely amazing burger buns, one of the best I’ve ever had.
“””Visited on a Sunday afternoon at 3pm for a snack. Ordered a slice of meat burek. There’s also 3 other flavours to choose from. The bread was a light flaky croissant crust with a pillowy bread interior. The meat was flavourful and the boys devoured it. A slice is $5. Which is cut into 2 pieces so perfect for sharing. I also had a half order of the sausages in a bun called chevap. The meat is very tender but not heavily spiced. The mini sausages and the hot, soft bread were yummy!  ”
Let me start off with Parking, it is small and tight when parking so heads up. Came in when they were about closing, but was able to grab a few desserts. We got the krem pita, tarimisu, and coconut. The desserts were ok, tasted a bit bland, maybe I’m just used to a little sweetness to cakes, but still edible. Burek is good, although it would’ve been nice if it was fresh. Overall service was good
This place has the best Balkan food we have had in Canada and USA. The Bureks are make fresh, very crispy and flavorful. We tried the bureks with meat, cheese and spinach and all were just amazing! The salt stick was great, has that Balkan bakery taste. The lepine with kajmak were out of this world good. The owner is very chatty, very engaged with all of his customers! Can’t wait to go back!
