"Absolutely loved this place! First time eating Albanian food and was satisfied with every food item. Started with pepper dip and burek (cheese) served with fresh bread. Then got Fasul and Qebapa, both so tasty. Too full for dessert but will definitely go again! With only two people on the staff when we went, they were very efficient. Got a little busier as it got closer to 8pm so 6pm was the perfect time."

"I’m an avid foodie, and I’ve been in NYC searching high and wide for the best food experiences for months now. I have found it. Every dish here is INCREDIBLE. We had the sausage dip, the mantia në tavë, and the skenderberg (Albania’s national dish). Afterward, we got the baklava and some Albanian cafe. Everything was rich and tasty, but not too filling either. Bring a whole group of people and try a little bit of everything. The atmosphere is amazing. You genuinely feel transported out of NYC into Albanian folklore. The service is great too. I genuinely can’t recommend this place any higher."

"I saw the manhattan location of this restaurant on TikTok and the food looked great! When I found out there was a Bronx location I was shocked and eager to give this place a try. We arrived and were quickly greeted by a lovely waiter who showed his knowledge of the food and culture. He made phenomenal recommendations that we scarfed down. The food was beautifully plated and extremely filling. I would most definitely come back over and over again"

"I went here for lunch for the first time — first time having Albanian food all together. It was very good and the atmosphere was nice. I have nothing to compare the food too, but I enjoyed myself. It’s a 3.5 stars cause the food was very heavy for me and left me feeling incredibly full and bloated for the rest of the day, but thats a personal problem! Due to that it’s unlikely I will be returning, but I think it worth trying at least once."

"Excellent food. Excellent service. Excellent ambience. I stepped into the restaurant and felt whisked away to a different place and time. The owners did an incredible job with designing and decorating the place. I wasn’t able to take photos of the food but it was delicious and cooked to perfection. We ordered a bunch of appetizer dips, oven baked lamb and rice, mixed platter of meat, and Turkish coffee. It was incredibly reasonably priced for all the food we ate. Definitely visit this hole in the wall place!"
