Dukagjini Burek
The burek here is phyllo built up in craggy layers and filled with beef, feta or spinach.1 It flakes on the way in and then goes soft under the teeth.1 A portrait of Mother Teresa has the best spot on the wall.1

Good to know
- Booking: none. The address is 758 Lydig Avenue, in Pelham Parkway.1
- Worth knowing: I haven't found a second published review of this shop, so the fillings are all anybody has described.
Verdict
could-visit — Buy two fillings and taste them against each other. The pastry is the same in all three, so the difference is in what is inside.
