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! 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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. Parki

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 bana

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.
