Alba

"Stumbled upon this gem by accident and I’m so happy we did. It’s now one of our favorite restaurants on the island. Couldn’t understand the Albanian menu so we asked the server to just bring us whatever they wanted. This stew, I think is called gulash was absolutely incredible. It was so tasty and flavored perfectly, comforting, hearty and filling. The potatoes and ground beef dish was delicious. We asked for something more so we got these sausages and they were insanely good. They are perfectly seasoned and freshly grilled and juicy on the inside. Will be back soon!!"

"I've never eaten Albanian cuisine before, so my curiosity to try it intensified on the day of my visit to Alba. The menu is predominantly written in their native language, but the waiter gave me a very clear translation. He was warm, friendly, and very helpful in assisting me with my food order. I had a Beef Kabob over rice with a side salad and an imported Albanian peach soda. Everything was as delicious as I was hoping it would be. Alba is the only Albanian restaurant on Staten Island, and I highly recommend them. Great for dining alone or with a group. The atmosphere is warm and looks like a luxurious dining room."

"Delicious Food! While exploring Staten Island for a good restaurant, my friend and I were drawn to a highly rated Mediterranean eatery on Google Maps. Despite our apprehension about trying this cuisine for the first time, we decided to give it a try. Upon entering, we were greeted by a gentleman who inquired if it was our first time there. At first, I was unsure why he asked until I noticed that the menu was not in English, making it difficult for us to understand. Fortunately, he kindly introduced us to the menu and provided recommendations, making our dining experience a success. The food was exceptional, and we wanted to try a dessert, but it wasn't available. However, the gentleman went above and beyond to accommodate us and didn't even charge us for the two desserts we eventually ordered. We were thoroughly impressed by the outstanding service and delectable food, and we give it a full 5-star rating."

"Albania food . Great: Soups, salads, chicken, beef, pilaf, cabbage, kajmak, stuffed peppers. Been there many times food has always been good . And for the religious people all their food is Hallal. Whatever dishes they make on a special are limited and tend to sell out . The food they make is delicious.The portions differ when u do take out. And it's really the only Albanian restaurant in SI so worth it . Will upload pics later"
