The 10 Best Restaurants in Pristina, Kosovo | Eater

"This traditional Balkan spot offers an extensive menu of solid Kosovar dishes in a space inspired by the city’s historic Ottoman culture. At a glance, the long menu can seem intimidating, but there are only two foods you have to try: the casserole and the homemade bread. Okay, there are technically three critical dishes, since the restaurant offers two excellent types of casserole, one listed as “white” and the other “red,” both made in a tavë (clay baking pot). The white variety is closer to Kosovo’s traditional tavë kosi, a soft, buttery mix of yogurt, egg, and extremely tender veal. If you prefer a tomato base, however, the restaurant’s red version overflows with abundant eggplant, zucchini, red peppers, and onions, along with soft cuts of beef. Both dishes are served with homemade pitalka, a light, fluffy native bread cooked in a masonry oven. [$$]" - Kaltrina Bylykbashi
