Wonderful terrace just a few steps away from the crowdiest part of Gjirokastra. The perfecr place for a long relaxed lunch. I really enjoyed their Kuka salad and the Moussaka.

This is the only restaurant we came twice during our 3 nights here. Because I found something really tasty for me ( real vegetables not salads). It’s Beans ( cooked beans and potatoes) and wild cabbage ( actually like wild spinach, it’s greens) , and BBQ chicken wings( won’t be wrong) I ordered same things for myself twice:). Good environment and location and friendly staffs. If you have a Chinese stomach you can come to Oder the one I ordered rather than other food.

I would highly recommend eating here! We came with an international group and wanted to try a variety of local dishes. The fabulous staff recommended us a variety of dishes and were very friendly. We ate on the patio with a sunset view. And of course the food was delicious! Don’t skip this place!

We had late lunch after exploring the castle. The traditional food was delicious, the service was pleasant, quick and not overwhelming. Definitely recommend.

This restaurant was fantastic. The service was fast and the food was delicious. We had the Traditional Mix, which allowed us to taste a bit of everything. We also had the Kuka salad, which was a bit too sweet for my taste and had too much dressing but overall fantastic. They also brought complimentary water melon. Would definitely come back.

We wanted to eat traditional food that hasn’t been too obviously watered down for tourists, outside of the tourist swarms of Old Bazaar. This place was perfect—great views in a tranquil courtyard, delicious food, great service. We ordered several of the traditional dishes and loved it all. We even had a nice lesson in Albanian pronunciation from the waiter. I was cold and I asked for a table cloth to cover my shoulders and they obliged.

Really nice ambience, amazing service and good food! The waiter also gave us some tips for where to go for drinks after the dinner which was really nice.
