Reviews

We had dinner 4 nights in a row there. The food was very tasty and cheap. The family running it is super friendly. Everything is fresh, simple, and made on the spot, so it’s not a fast food (don’t go there if you're in a rush). Wine is home made too, and even the desserts are excellent (ask for pistachio cake). I would really recommend if you want to experience a meal "as the locals do". Our favourites were the roasted lamb, roasted kid, and special dish of the house, and all appetisers. The bean soup is also a good choice on a cold evening.

We came here yesterday. There was a kind lady that welcomed us at her restaurant. It is a small space but cosy. The food was good, they offers traditional dishes so i recommend it for someone who searches traditional food.

If you want to have some snacks in the city of Berat for a fair price, please drop by here. It is ran by family business. We had Qifqi (Albania fried rice ball) and village meatball. We enjoyed both and service is very friendly. They have a lovely terrace but unfortunately the weather was not so pleasant on that day. Happy to visit next time!

We really enjoyed our dinner at this family-run restaurant. Despite its simple setup, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. It's the kind of authentic, homestyle dining experience that makes traveling so rewarding.

Great place to eat in the old town. Cheaper than other places in the area. Ordered the special which was really nice! Good portion size, fresh and tasted like a home cooked meal. Meat was tender, The rice was nice with herbs throughout as well Service was very friendly as well from the family to the chef (the mum) recommend this place and eating out on the terrace!

This restaurant welcomed us from the get go with open arms. The waiters are young and passionate, and want to make sure they get you what you want. The food they prepare is simple and mainly roasted in the oven. If you’re looking for a traditional experience, nothing around there gets close to this one.

Delicious traditional food with excellent service. Very kind staff making sure you have a great experience. We ordered the Greek salad, tave kosi, and byrek. All were very good and priced well!

We ordered a salad, a meatball soup, and a dish that’s not on the menu (just show this photo to the lady and order it!) All the dishes tasted absolutely delicious. Generous portions and very good value for money! The lady (who I believe is the owner and the chef) is very friendly and sweet as well. We’re planning to have lunch there again!
