My experience here was one of the best ever. It was my first time trying Albanian food and I cannot wait to go back and try everything on the menu.
The bread was fantastic. Started with that and the stuffed pepper. 10/10!! Then moved to the leçenik. Loved. And then the mains, Tava Kosi and grill platter. Finished off with coffee and dessert.
Everything was fantastic. Very welcoming. Zero bias for any guest that comes in just pure kindness and hospitality. Knowledgeable staff and eager to assist and make sure you’re taken care of.
If you’re a beginner to Albanian food like I am. Consider this spot to introduce yourself to the cuisine. I can’t wait to come back with my Albanian Friends and see if they get Their seal of approval!

It was an amazing experience. All of the food was top-notch, the employees were superb, and the interior—oh my God—absolutely beautiful. We went for a special day , and the staff constantly checked in to make sure we were okay. Everyone was smiling, warm, and welcoming. You can truly feel the beauty from the inside out. We loved every moment.

When Dua Lipa says this is her favorite restaurant while making it to the top 100 restaurant list, you know you’re in for a treat. This was my first time trying Albanian food and the flavors were similar yet very different to other foods in the region and yet unique enough that you can taste the difference. I loved the atmosphere and the kindness of the staff. They answered all the questions I had and recommended some excellent dishes.
See the pictures that I posted for what I ordered. Best bites: the bread, the lamb stew, and baklava. The food also came out very quickly and I know for a fact it was fresh because everything was steaming.
I’m not from the Bronx but if I’m in the area, this place is definitely a contender of some place I’d like to revisit to try the other menu items. Parking is a bit annoying as this is around residential/metered areas so plan your trip accordingly.
As someone who eats a lot, portions were solid and everything was reasonably priced where you can order a lot of things.
If you’re in the area, check it out!

This place was absolutely incredible. We will definitely be coming back here. They also have two other locations (which we haven’t been to, but will definitely go to).
First off, stepping into this restaurant was like stepping into an old world restaurant. There’s a really rustic, charming vibe that is absolutely transportive. We went for dinner in the middle of the week, so we were the old table while we were there, but the staff was so lovely and attentive. They definitely have a lot of pride for the restaurant and food and I get why.
Now on to the food. Wow. The food was amazing and the price was so wildly reasonable. We started with the sausage dip, the pickled pepper, and the sesame baked cheese. The pickled pepper had the perfect bite to it and was a little spicy (think how a banana pepper is spicy) with great flavors for the veggies inside the pepper. The sausage dip was both familiar and interesting and so perfectly delicious. It came with these warm bread roll things that were steaming when we tore them open. The cheese was also nice, especially paired with the bread. We also had the Fli which is kind of like a baked layer pastry dish served with a feta cheese and was so good.
Then we had the fasule with suxhuk. It’s essentially a white bean stew/soup with a type of sausage in it. This was so hearty and comforting. I could eat a bowl of it in front of the fire on a winter day. It was simple with a depth of flavor that was on point. We also had the grilled octopus, which was cooked well and very delicious.
Overall, the meal was an absolute delight and we truly had a great time. Everything from the ambiance to the service to the food to the price point made this place an absolute must visit.

Cka ke Qellu gave us such a beautiful dining experience.
From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with genuine warmth. Both servers who took care of us were truly wonderful people — kind, attentive, and made us feel at home. That human touch made all the difference.
The food was incredible: deeply comforting, homemade, and full of love. Every bite tasted like tradition and care. We shared the meal with a delicious wine from Kosovo, which made the experience even more special.
This is the kind of place you leave with a full heart, not just a full stomach. We’re very grateful for the service, the food, and the beautiful energy. Highly recommended, and we will absolutely return.

This was a surprising experience, as we had expected Mediterranean fare but discovered Albanian cuisine instead. Everything was fantastic – the food, service, and location. I recommend ordering a few plates to share so you can try a little bit of everything.

They’ve created something lovely here. Everyone is very kind, and the interior is gorgeous. The Mixed Grill platter, Burek and mantia all incredible. Excellent place, also very close to the bronx zoo which is nice.

First time trying Albanian cuisine, and the bar has been set very high — can’t believe it can get any better than this! Everything we tried was delicious and the rustic setting feels like a cozy escape from the city. Perfect spot for a warm, comforting meal to help get through the winter.

Very delicious food! It makes you think you are on the coast of Saranda looking at the sky on a chill night. It also makes you feel homey. Its more than a vibe, its taste, smell, nice ambient and (pretty loud) good holiday music!

Everything was excellent! I came here on my last night visiting my parents and it was the perfect way to end the trip. Every dish we ordered was amazing. The service was attentive and friendly. And the vibe was warm, cozy and relaxed. I can’t wait to comeback, my parents will definitely be back soon ✨
