I really liked the restaurant of traditional Albanian cuisine Oda e babes!
The food is delicious, the service is 5+, the music is pleasant Albanian/Greek, because the owner is half Greek, half Albanian. A very nice evening and dinner! I recommend it from the bottom of my heart!

Was a great restaurant with traditional dishes. Klerido was a great host who explained our food dishes and a lot of Albanian history.

Visited a very traditional Albanian restaurant - in terms of food and interior. Ordered a traditional plate of local food (15 dishes) as a starter and musaka. Food was delicious, made with passion to food and people. I tried various traditional cusines in Albania and most of them were soaked in oil and very heavy in processing for stomach. This food was excellent.
If you plan to get to know Albanian tradition, this restaurant is must.
On top of that is a waiter, who describe all dishes and everything he serves. It is a home like atmosphere with professional service.
Well done!

Loved this place! From the moment we stepped inside we felt we were welcomed and encouraged to try lots of beautiful traditional food. Lovely waiter Klerido Z looked after us with great knowledge of the cuisine and the culture. Fabulous place to stop! I highly recommend this lovely restaurant. It also has rooms which seem popular. Thank you, we loved this place!

We had very positive experience in this restaurant!
From the very beginning easy to book the table!
The hosts Leo and Yaroslava very positive and professional!
The restaurant is traditional. And the 14 starters are the best way to try all the traditional food of Albania and Greece. Really very very tasty. Leo can advise you what to try and he only asks to trust him that was the best choice. The baked cheese is something extra special! I have never eat so tasty cheese in my life.
Life music with traditional songs and the singer is just one more highlight.
Amazing atmosphere!
Thank you so much!
We will definitely come again🙌

Super delicious traditional cuisine!
At the beginning you (always!) get a selection of tapas and then, if you're still hungry, you can order more snacks or a main course.

Restaurant that conveys to you the tradition of a people through its location and cuisine. A fantastic mix between Albanian and Greek cuisine, the owner is really nice and friendly

From the moment we walked in, we were served with great service by a young attentive friendly host. The food was incredibly tasty, fresh and delicious. Definitely a MUST try if you ever visit Albania. Their traditional foods blew me away. Thank you for the memorable experience.

This restaurant is NOT set up for solo travelers!!
The mandatory 14 side dishes before the main course is absurd. I was full and didnt even order a main course. While the owner, Leo, claims that Albania is one of the richest cuisines in the world. He is clearly mistaken. Take the ferry across the bay to Corfu and you will be treated to a true Greek feast at the same price...3 main dishes, bread and wine...delicious! 😋
Wish I could rate higher, but unfortunately this restaurant is Overrated!! The 14 dishes are like going for Korean Bbq and only being served kimchi without the bbq. SMH 🙈

Best restaurant of Albania if you ask me! Amazing dishes and I love the concept of brining together the Greek and Albanian cuisine with the 14 starters. Good vegetarian options too, we had the cheese and aubergine main cours which both were lovely.

Great, authentic food with a cozy environment. The service was superb and the live music was a fantastic bonus. We particularly liked that we had 14 tiny plates of authentic Albanian food to try before ordering byrek, cheese and the main course. It was a great way to experience lots of different types of foods without being stuffed, and it was at a really reasonable price. This is one of my favorite restaurants of my travels thus far.
