We visited this restaurant on a whim and we were very pleasantly surprised. The food was extremely tasty and well proportioned but not over proportioned. The service was very good from start to finish and the owner was kind enough to come over and chat with us for a while. We also had a very nice complementary dessert. If we were staying in Tirana longer we would go again.Thank you so much!! You are very welcome any time you are in Tirana!

This place was clearly popular with locals and you could see why. There was a large and varied menu to suit all tastes and all the food was fresh and tasty. A particular highlight was the mixed salad which was frankly huge! The service was a bit slow and they clearly struggled with English, but they were friendly and provided good value.

I went there the first time. The place was very quiet and nicely decorated but they were about to close so I decided to try it again another time. Went on a Saturday night. The atmosphere was totally different. Had a band playing that was so LOUD it was Impossible to order because nor I or the waitress could hear each other. I was happy to see the sign at the door said no smoking inside which is rare in Albania to find a smoke free place. Well the table next to me starts smoking. I politely ask the waitress why are they smoking if it's a non smoking place. She brings me an ashtray. I get up and speak with the manager, politely asking the same question. The response: we opened the windows so it's ok if they smoke. This is beyond unprofessional! The food: I ordered two dishes and I still wasn't full. The portions were just two spoons each (if that). The taste was ok but the size of portions absolutely did not justify the high prices. $25.00 (USD) for one person with no drinks and I still had to go elsewhere to feel full. (I'm 120 lbs female so I don't need a lot to feel full)I will not go back to this place.

This place is amazing. The staff were all so friendly and our waiter was so helpful. We were going to order the magnificent 7 starter between us and then the tomahawk steaks, but he advised us that we would not be able to eat everything and suggested a salad and a Mexican dish instead, so glad we followed his advice as the steak was huge. The steak was Iâve got to say the best Iâve ever had, cooked to perfection and the mash was delicious and the veg was beautiful. The wine was recommended by the waiter and was delicious. It was an Albanian red wine. The restaurant itself was done in a great cowboy theme with a fantastic atmosphere. We will definitely be back. Compliments to the chef and staff!!!We love Albania!! â¤ï¸John and AlbenaManchester UK

Food was great, service was rude. I had a bottle of water on the table and the waiter didnât like this, so without asking me, took it upon himself to pour it into a dirty glass and try and take my bottle from me with an attitude. This is a country where tap water is not drinkable throughout, so I find this incredibly rude. Especially as it is listed as a cheap eat and not 5* dining. He also decided to hand me the bill before I had even finished half my plate. No words or eye contact exchanged throughout. The rudest service I have experienced in a long time!
