Great Serbian/Balkan restaurant (not sure why it's listed as Turkish). I absolutely love the burek, pančerote, đevrek, prženice, and španski vjetar cake! I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu, though. It's all very fresh and tasty, so give this place a shot if you want a delicious meal!

Absolutely delicious cuisine. I am from the Balkans and I can tell you this food is authentic and true to form. Additionally, the presentation of the food is spectacular. I highly recommend the burger links, and the personal burek with cheese and the chopped salad with feta cheese. The brownie bomb dessert was also out of this world. And the service was excellent. I will definitely be back.

Most recent experience not so positive. This establishment is not big enough, especially where you are seating breakfast customers for 50+ people in a 200 sq foot room (if not smaller). We were directly seated next to people with no spacing between our tables, when food was brought over the space was so tight that the waiters/waitress would have to hold the food on top of other customers in order to get to our table. Super uncomfortable experience.

Great food and service. They were busy, felt a little rushed. Hope they can expand.

I'm a fan of Turkish cuisine but sadly there just aren't many good Turkish restaurants around where I live. Fortunately, I was in the Clifton area one day and got to check out Cafe Bubamara. I've heard and read a lot of good things about this neighborhood gem and was very excited to finally be able to check it out. The restaurant is small but they did a good job maximizing the useability of the space they have. I really like the eastern European decor and atmosphere. I came on a weekday round 11am and the restaurant was already 75% full, which is a good sign. As far as I know they do not take reservations. So come early, especially on weekends. The menu is much larger than I expected and has a nice layout accompanied by pictures of the food. There were many things I wanted to try, but with a party of just two people we were only able to order a few things. We opted for the Bubamara breakfast platter, Bubamara omelette, meat burek, and Turkish coffee. Everything was great, but the highlight for me was the burek. It was flaky, crispy, and meticulously layered to perfection. The succulent filling of the seasoned minced meat was rich in aroma and perfectly cooked to tender perfection. Just the smell of it as it arrived at our table was enough to make me salivate. Will definitely come back again as there were many other items I wanted to try on the menu. The one negative thing I guess would be the parking. It's street parking only in a pretty busy downtown area.
