A Culinary Journey Through Time

The traditional Albanian menu, a rich tapestry of flavors and textures, has gracefully evolved into the modern era, blending age-old recipes with contemporary culinary techniques.

Appetizers and Starters

Albanian cuisine starts with a variety of tantalizing appetizers that set the tone for the meal. One notable dish is byrek, a savory pastry filled with ingredients such as spinach, cheese, or minced meat. This flaky delight, often enjoyed as a snack or a starter, has been a staple in Albanian households for centuries. Another beloved starter is tarator, a refreshing cold yogurt soup mixed with cucumber, garlic, and dill. This dish not only provides a palate-cleansing beginning to the meal but also showcases the simplicity and freshness of Albanian ingredients.

Main Courses

The heart of the Albanian meal lies in its main courses, which are hearty and full of flavor. Tavë Kosi, a baked lamb and yogurt dish, stands out as a quintessential traditional Albanian main course. The succulent lamb, marinated and cooked with yogurt, eggs, and rice, creates a creamy and tangy casserole that is both comforting and delicious. Another iconic dish is Tave Dheu a savory blend of peppers, tomatoes, and cottage cheese, cooked with beef or liver. This dish is typically enjoyed with crusty bread, making it a satisfying and wholesome meal that reflects the rustic roots of Albanian cuisine.

Desserts

To finish the meal on a sweet note, Albanian desserts offer a delightful array of options. Baklava, layers of filo pastry filled with nuts and soaked in honey syrup, is a favorite treat that has been enjoyed for generations. Another beloved dessert is kadaif, shredded filo dough baked with butter and layered with nuts, then drenched in a sweet syrup.

Happy customers

“My group greatly enjoyed our experience for lunch. The food was fresh, delicious and authentic. The decor included many classic Albanian elements. My only critique is that the menu listed chicken or lamb options for a few dishes but they didn’t have chicken. I realize they have not been open long and hopefully they will have chicken again soon.”
