Burek
Burek, known to Albanians as
byrek, is a
flaky pastry containing cheese, spinach or meat, and is the universal and ubiquitous Balkan snack that simply has to be tried when you're in the region. From the Turkish bur, meaning to twist, burek is found in bakeries all over Pristina, the most popular outlet is the Bosna chain, who have a number of small shops scattered around the city. Below are two of our favourites. Just ask for byrek me mish (byrek with meat) or me djath (with cheese). It's best downed with ayran, a salty yoghurt drink; count on paying less than €1 for a set.
