Low Risk NYC Grade: A

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. The most recent report on file is from Jul 23, 2025. Low risk means the most recent visit produced few or no significant findings.

The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around seven violations to closer to two violations per visit over the last few inspections.

“Anti-siphonage or back-flow prevention device not provided” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing two times across the record.

Restaurants in Manhattan average 77, so Buba Bureka is doing better than most peers. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
