A Bosnian restaurant in Astoria — not a combination you would expect, but a genuine and much-loved local institution. Drina Daydream has been serving burek, cevapi, and slow-cooked Balkan stews from a small Victorian shopfront for years. The food is hearty, the portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable.
The restaurant is run by Bosnian immigrant owners and reflects the small but established Slavic community in the area. The menu changes but typically includes grilled meats, rice-stuffed peppers, various phyllo pastry dishes, and strong Bosnian coffee. Reservations recommended on weekends.
