When we walked here on a Thursday night, there was a line onto the street! We were probably #12 in line. We knew this must be a great restaurant and it did not disappoint. Beautiful outside area and they turned tables fast, but there was no rush. Service was great and food was phenomenal! For traditional Albanian food, this is a must.

Lovely find here in Ksamil. The staff were super accommodating and friendly and the food was awesome. We ordered the meat wrapped in cabbage, the squash pie, the chicken and yoghurt, the lamb and the baked feta. Also treated to some cinnamon dessert at the end! The place is well priced, stunning with the fairy lights in the ivy and is all in all wonderful. Highly recommend

We took a cooking class here through trip advisor which was a great experience. We made traditional Albanian pies and a pepper/cheese appetizer. We had a great time! We enjoyed it so much we came back that night for dinner. Their mussels, the dolma, and their pies are amazing. Outdoor atmosphere was great and the staff very friendly. I’d highly recommend stopping here for dinner while in Ksamil.

We had two pies and some olives, together with two beers.

The drinks came out fast, but the olives took close to half an hour to come out, and the pies more than 45 minutes, it was a bit disappointing, especially when we could see that everyone around us, including people that came after had plates on their tables.

The pies were very tasty, and a lot bigger than expected. However, one of them was a bit undercooked.

After we asked for the bill, they brought us some dessert on the house, which was a plus.

Overall, the experience was positive.

Great place for traditional Albanian food, very nice staff, just make sure you have a bit of patience. They make their traditional pie fresh as you order, so it takes about one hour but it's worth the wait!
