Balkan Bites is a female and family owned business that specializes in wholesome Southeast European comfort foods such as Burek (boo-rek), a portable stuffed phyllo swirl. With our dedication to premium ingredients and authentic recipes, we aim to make our cuisine accessible to all.
A daily staple in the Balkans, Burek is savory phyllo pie that is flaky on the outside and oozing with goodness on the inside. We make our all-natural phyllo dough from scratch with premium ingredients like unbleached flour, extra-virgin olive oil, and real butter.
Bite into one for a meal or pop a dozen into the oven to feed a hungry crowd.
Order minimum is 2 bags of burek. We ship to all 50 states and Washington DC. Orders placed on Monday and Tuesday will be shipped the next day and orders placed on Wednesday through Sunday will be shipped the following Monday.

What our customers say
The UnBurekable Bond
It all started when Ariana (right) approached her aunt Alida (left) with a simple idea—to teach her how to make traditional Albanian recipes in honor of her late grandmother, Magbule. On Sundays, they found solace in baking together, reminiscing about her while bringing her recipes to life. Soon enough, they were debuting their Bureks at local markets in NYC from the Columbus Circle Holiday Market to the Queens Night Market, receiving overwhelming support from customers around the world. And so came the start of an ‘unBurekable’ bond: the birth of Balkan Bites, a small company with a big mission to share a piece of their culture through everyday Southeast European comfort foods.

The Balkans
The Balkans is a geographic area that lies on the southeastern edge of Europe. Known for its diverse cultures, traditions, and ethnicities, it is the shared love of food, like the Burek, that brings people together. Originally introduced by the nomadic Turks of Central Asia, the flaky phyllo swirl travelled across borders for centuries, adopting different names and shapes. As the Burek continues to break boundaries, the cultural significance of this everyday staple lives on in the streets of the Balkans to this day.
