    If you are a connoisseur of any sort of meat pie—we see you—head to Blend’s Bakery on Staten Island. And even if you’re not, you should check out the bureks at this Albanian-Italian restaurant in Dongan Hills. You can get them with meat, cheese, or spinach, but the filling never overwhelms the dough, which is chewy and layered, with a golden, glistening crust. There’s pasta and pizza on the menu, but if you need a little more food, get a qebapa platter. Come to this spacious restaurant for a casual lunch, watch some soccer with local cops for company as you wait for your food, and carry a tote for leftovers.

    Food Rundown

    Burek

    First priority: meat pie. Second priority: spinach, which has just enough tart feta. A slice could be your whole lunch, a pie could probably feed you for a week.

    Qebapa Platter

    Come for the TikTok-famous bureks, leave with a soft spot for the qebapa platter. For $10.99, you’ll get five tender, well-spiced kebabs, a lemony pile of tomatoes, cucumbers, thinly sliced cabbage, and a thick, squishy pita.
