The restaurant exceeded all expectations! Every dish was fresh and flavorful, and the inviting ambiance was the perfect complement.

Excellent Albanian restaurant with dishes familiar to an Eastern European palate as well as more pan-Mediterranean ones. The atmosphere is convivial and seems to be a real community hub, with what looks to be an Albanian music channel playing and lots of groups of Albanians meeting. Visited Oct 2024 and had several starters/small plates : the Fasule me mish (a tomatoey bean and salt beef soup) which came with fresh bread, a qofta and a strained yoghurt and pepper salad. It was all excellent and very filling. Service was friendly and people seemed happy that a non-Albanian was trying their cuisine/trying their best to pronounce their dishes! Hoping to return to try the mains, which I imagine are even more substantial.

The restaurant was spacious with air conditioning. However, they seem to have a smoking area at the back that makes the whole restaurant smell of cigarettes. Hence the one star off. The food itself was a really good portion and tasted fantastic. The grilled lamb chop is one of the best. the side dishes were great too. The menu does not have much option for dining for one. As the portion is big, I was the only woman there. It was a bit awkward! But it is worth the visit for the food if you can put off the cigarette smell. The service was a bit odd, but I did not mind.

Since opening in Walthamstow last year I have been here a few times. First thing is that the Mains dishes from the menu are excellent, if you miss home food then choose from the Mains here. All the food is so good, fresh (hummus, salad), and delicious (beef lamb chicken and sauces), On weekday evenings the 3 TVs show football (audio will be Albanian - many of the happy customers are Albanian or Italian). If football is not on ask and they will change the channel. Reasonably priced bar for wine and beer. There is a closed pool room normally packed with players but as a visitor you don't notice it except for hearing the occasional crack of the pack breaking.

Food is great! I had couple times Goulash soup . Always comes with homemade fresh baked bread Cheers!
