Are Buba’s Viral Burekas Worth the Wait?

"A tiny West Village burekas shop with celebrity fans and frequent early sellouts, the pastries are finished in the oven, cleaved into four wedges and packed into a small box with sauces, pickles, cracked olives and a halved, salt-sprinkled medium-boiled egg. The dark-baked, seed-topped crust is pleasantly puffed and crisp, giving way to tender fillings; the spinach-artichoke was the favorite for bright flavor, while the potato felt heartier but a bit bland. With limited indoor space that forces spillover onto the sidewalk, a short wait is reasonable and the $16 box makes for a solid meal without needing to arrive before opening." - Tammie Teclemariam
