Niš cuisine represent an unusual combination of Serbian traditional dishes and numerous influences primarily from the East. One of the most recognizable “eastern specialty”, which took on in this area is burek.
The story about burek begins in 1498, when a baker from Istanbul, Mehmed Oğlu, while visiting Niš, made the first round burek in a tray. Today, burek is the favorite breakfast which is recommended by many people from Niš as a medicine against a long night out in a tavern.
