👍 The grilled capsicum was fresh and delicious. Burek was nice. The only thing I would change is the toast served with a breakfast meal. People often mention great, coffee, service, Great,

    If you're looking for a great coffee hit on the Gold Coast, look no further than The Burek Man Café. This unassuming little café on Chevron Island serves up some of the best coffee on the coast, and the food is pretty darn good too. The service is friendly, and the vibe is relaxed and chilled out – perfect for catching up with friends or getting some work done. So next time you're in the area, be sure to check out The Burek Man

    Great fresh tasty food: we had burgers, but the tasting plates looked great. We stumbled on this place while wandering around the Gold Coast and it was fantastic to eat food made with love (rather than the abundant tourist grade food available elsewhere).

    Great place for late lunch. I came with my two boys when they were almost closing down but they were happy to accommodate us. Everything was perfect. Čevapi and pljeskavica were very tasty and staff was very hospitable and professional. We will visit burekman again for sure.

    Love this place, brings me back to Balkan vibes straight away! The balkan burger is made of dreams, and the Burek is absolutely delicious.They have funny working hours but it's worth the effort. Highly recommend! And make sure you have a rakija at the end!

    Had this place on my list for a long time and finally came with a couple of friends. The food was actually reasonable, but it took 1.5 hours for some grilled haloumi to come out and two hours for a single meat platter for two. We were also the first order of the day, as we arrived at opening time. The music/singer were obnoxiously loud, to the point we couldn't even hear each other anymore. This may have been because there was a big group booking taking up the rest of the venue, but a warning would have been nice. It was a Thursday night. We felt like we were randoms at someone else's private function. Enter if you dare.

    Saturday lunch. Cheese & a beef Burek , hot and fresh. Absolutely delicious with a black coffee and Buttermilk. Sandra was so wonderful, friendly and attentive . Perfect experience 🥰. See you again very soon.

    Walked 20 minutes to arrive just before 1pm (which is meant to close at 3pm) to visit this highly rated restaurant for lunch, with my partner. We were told they were shutting early today as they had sold out of most things for the day. Very disappointing considering the very high rating this restaurant has and we were really looking forward to eating here.

    Real authentic Yugo food . Came here for a late Saturday bite after an event . The atmosphere( live music) and service did not disappoint. Their cevapi was super impressive as well. Definitely worth a try and a second visit !
