It was my first time in Albania and I was looking for a modern fusion Albanian food experience and my god this place was quite the revelation! We had their 7 course tasting menu and as each course progressed, the tastes and flavours just got elevated. We started with a winter salad with pumpkin, persimmon and sun-dried tomatoes, a soup with veal meat ball and herbs followed. By this time, the bar had already been set incredibly high. Next came the Qifqi, riceball with sour cream and vegetables, crunchy on the outside and soft and full of flavour on the inside. The highlight of the meal was the Fli, charcoal cooked patty with succulent beef cheeks, with honey and sour cream sauce. This was just an explosion of flavours in my mouth. We then had a serving of fish served with lemon butter and white wine sauce. For dessert, we were served a mil pie with honey and ice cream. We washed it all down with some lovely house wine. We left not just with our stomachs but our hearts full. Will recommend this place to everyone who is looking for a unique twist on Albanian cuisine. If there's one place you must try in Tirane, please do check them out. <3

Enchanting restaurant near the lake, warm wooden atmosphere, typical and modern at the same time. We tried the tasting menu and we added meatballs, beetroot salad and cheesecake whit icecream (the best ever tasted). All was really interenting and tasting, I loved beef cheek and meatballs. Well done! Congratulations to the staff ❤️

This slow food restaurant can be a reason within its own for someone to make their way to Tirana. Therefore, if you are already in the city, missing this monumental establishment would be a crime. Let me explain. They mill their own flour, making everything from sourdough bread to 3 types of pasta with the whole grain wonder they create. You can walk up to their window and buy a whole wheat BYREK with locally sources spinach, or open the door and step down into a world of wonder and charm. Downstairs, you will be greeted by a chef kneading dough into various pasta and bread shapes, setting it aside for hours of quite healthy leavening. The place is decorared like an old Albenian barn and the food is an intricately crafted artful form of wholesomeness and satiation. This is not the place where art comes at the expense of your stomach but rather, here - body and soul are combined into the whole entity that is a human. Ask for the tasting menu to get the full experience. Do not leave Tirana without eating here.

This restaurant has immense charm and character and super friendly helpful staff. We had the sampling menu which is excellent value, offering a good variety of dishes and reasonable portions, considering that one is having seven courses. There is an extensive a la carte menu as well. I have read reviews that complained of blandness. We felt that every dish had great flavour and balance, some with very nuanced flavours, rather than smash-you-in-the-face flavour bombs. The dessert of custard and ice cream could have had a bit more honey, but was true to the simple rural fare from which it is derived. In my pics I have posted the menu and the dishes in the menu sequence. All were delicious, the highlights being the pumpkin salad, meatball soup, beef cheeks rosnica, and trout. Mmmm that’s everything!

Food is absolutely delicious, 10/10. The fli was crispy on the outside and pillowy on the inside. And the sauce blew me away, chestnut and honey flavours are so unique and pair perfectly with the fli. The trahana is one of my favourite Albanian dishes and I always get this when I come here. The meatballs are juicy and go so well with the creaminess of the trahana. Highly recommend, one of the best restaurants in Tirana!

Hm, great food (We had the menu), mediocre service. You’ve got an expectation when visiting this place as it’s well know outside Albania. The dishes were tasteful & made an interesting choice of herbs & spices. About the best we had in 2 weeks Albania. The service on the other hand was mew… The barman was great: Nice wine, good Raki. The table waiter gave us a feeling that we‘re not customers but a nuisance. He did his job, but without passion and a customer related view. Table next to us wasn’t cleaned for more than an hour until we wiped the table & put the bread baskets together. Considering the variety of places in Tirana, we probably wouldn’t return…

Georg from Big Ukraine🇺🇦 Everything was truly wonderful — the food, the service, the atmosphere — all very good and tasty. Yet something seems to be slipping somewhere. I can’t quite define what it is, but it needs to be found and corrected soon. Otherwise, the whole concept might lose its harmony. This is my sincere, personal impression. I really liked everything — the team, the quality, the effort. It’s just important now to stay attentive and bring in an outside perspective, to notice what you might no longer see yourselves. You’re not any worse than other well-known restaurants like à la Era Villa — you’re on that same level. The main thing is not to lose your spark. And everything I write here is on the level of feeling — something that should be trusted if you truly want success. P.S. Take a closer look — maybe someone from your team or one of the key people has simply grown tired. Sometimes that alone quietly changes the whole energy of a place. Besides that, maybe it would also make sense to look back at some of the previous reviews — and even the photo of the menu for 3000 lek — to reflect a bit. Perhaps what’s missing now is just a bit more energy, freshness, and playfulness. Wash off the routine, don’t let it become too monotonous, heavy, or “cotton-like.” The place deserves to stay alive, vibrant, and full of authentic Albanian soul — maybe even with a touch more fun, color, and mineral sparkle. I’ll definitely come again — and I’ll be happy to see how it evolves.

I LOVED this dinner! Amazing service and the food was incredible high end traditional food. Go for the tasting menu! 30 euros is an incredible deal for this meal. There were mixed reviews on here but me and my two dinner mates totally disagree and loved the meal. The rice ball was the only more mediocre dish but the rest were incredible!
