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!

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 & baking. The bread with dipping was amazing .Hot and fresh. The lamb meal for my kids, we ordered twice, I had the stuffed cabbage made with veal was very- very tasty! I love soups (especially fall and winter time) wish they had that night, but I’m gonna try next time ..
Restaurant staff very kind,our server explained everything for us from the menu. Nothing crazy with the price..affordable restaurant!
We are definitely gonna come back!

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! Must have the Albanian coffee! Ask to make it traditional.
The place is very busy, don’t forget to make a reservation. Enjoy!!

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 the drive out. It is worth it!!!

My husband and I came to New York from Wisconsin on a little vacation. We are Albanian and he loves Albanian food more than anything else. The staff was very kind and the food was awesome! Their fli was probably some of the best I have ever had!
