Çka Ka Qëllu

The Best Restaurants In Fairfield County, Connecticut - Fairfield County - The Infatuation

"With its Medieval-esque stone walls, flickering candelabras dangling from double-height ceilings, accordion soundtrack, and display case of antique Balkan weapons, Çka ka Qëllu in Stamford has the unique vibe of “last good supper before going off to war.” Fortunately, it’s only good times ahead when dining here, particularly if you go with a big group. No table at this Albanian restaurant is complete without the creamy sausage dip, fasul (a savory white bean and sausage stew), mantia (browned, pillowy veal dumplings in yogurt sauce), and the mixed grill, which includes variously shaped ground meats that push the boundaries of acceptable levels of salt, in a good way. Stave off the end-of-meal meat sweats by ordering the creamy trilece cake and pair it with a delicious cereal milk cocktail, which tastes exactly how it sounds." - chloe zale, ciera velarde
