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
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 c
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 phenomen
Deep rich flavor bringing you to Northern Albania. Ema is the absolute best with suggestions and hospitality. 10/10
Really great food and lovely experience all around. Highly recommend, especially if you’re in the need for comfort food or a spot to check out after the zoo!
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.
This was our first time having Albanian food and it was so delicious we came two days straight. Service is outstanding. They all help each other and very knowledgeable about the menu. Would definitely recommend this spot. The restaurant is super clean as well. Why go anywhere else lol
We went here on a chilly evening, after visiting the New York Botanical Garden Train Show. It was so warm and inviting inside. I don’t know a lot about Albanian food. The bread alone was worth the visit. Big pillows of warm, freshly baked bread. Delicious with roasted pepper and cream sauce. The dec
Everything here is delicious and reasonably priced! Emmi our server was also delightful and helped us through ordering (our first time having Albanian food)
If you wanna try something unique and new, then you should visit this restaurant.
Cozy place, with lovely atmosphere, a little spirit of Europe! I like to try new flavor but here the food, like something I never tried before. I don’t know if it’s the seasoning or the pan they use for cooking & bakin
I think this neighborhood benefits from this amazing restaurant. It has a beautiful ambiance. It's like a museum or fort. The bread is fresh and delicious. It'd made in the oven to order. My beans were amazing. Tasty appetizers and meatballs. It's an upscale old world restaurant. The dessert was li
Great atmosphere, server was friendly and knowledgeable, and the food was delicious. Highly recommend the lamb. It was the most tender flavorful lamb I’ve had in a very long time.
This is one of the most incredible dining experiences I've ever had in my life! I could not stop eating. Everything was fresh and absolutely delicious. The bread came out warm and steaming! This is probably the best authentic Albanian food you will get outside of Europe! I highly recommend making th
An absolutely lovely dining experience. Everything was perfect. Highly recommend!!
The rare find! True gem! Beautiful place with interesting history. Coming here you’ll learn about Albany so much, dive into the atmosphere and vibrant culture.
People here meet you with true warmth of their hearts, take care about you and treat like home! Don’t remember when I enjoyed food so much!
Best taste and service. Left the restaurant with a smile, a good taste and a full stomach
Extremely delicious gem of a food spot in Little Italy (Bronx) with Albanian/Balkan food in a 19th century Albanian setting, taking both your tongue and body to the Balkans. Family owned and run by them.
The Trilece (the original Balkan Tres leches) is one of the best things that I have ever had, d
Rustic Albanian eats for a decent price. Im in love with the waitress 😍
Great experience! We went to see the New York botanical gardens and found out this wonderful restaurant was not too far. Both experience combine makes it wonderful day up in the Bronx.
The food here was amazing. I'm from San Diego and and I've never tried this cuisine but it was very enjoyable. I h
