DO NOT GO:: CODE RED we read all the poor reviews but still decided to go...we opted for the 5 course taster menu. Imagine if your 8 year old neice or nephew decided to cook you five different plates of food for you eat, of anything they wanted... Jokes aside this was poor and its your fault if you go after reading this.

Warning against trying to enter this failed and bad restaurant I went to this restaurant yesterday because of the amount of positive reviews about it But I was shocked at how bad the food and service was (these guys need to change them up and learn to be serious by working and learn how to smile and improve their English and not talk and joke with each other) The food was incredibly salty and the taste was really bad And the next day I felt a lot of pain in my stomach 😫 Don't believe the reviews about the quality of this restaurant, they might spray some people with a cheap glass of wine to give them rave reviews. God does not forgive those who praise this restaurant.

Make sure you order the Tasting Menu! You'll be served several courses of Albanian dishes with modern twists. The dishes are seasonal so the menu will change from time to time. For 3000 ALL this is a fantastic dining experience and we'd love to come back again next time we visit Tirana!

Dreadful experience at this place highly rated online and by locals as one of the best places in town. The baby goat was late, dry, and the chef came by to promise extra because I had waited so long, but it never came. That's fine. The buttered vegetables (though a small dish) were terrific. I also ordered the zucchini squash blossom appetizer, which was humongous and and could've fed a table of 3 as an app... filled with cheese, it came with 10 blossoms, so that was a little overwhelming. The raki was nice at the end. The lighting was weird - it would go on and off and then stay off in the dark, so whatever.

I had read about this place so wanted to visit. Difficult to get table, but the second day I managed to get a table. I had a very nice spinach and apple salad, it was delicious. I had read about the pasta with mushrooms and blueberry, I tried it, not my favourite. But the cheese cake made up for it. I will absolutely recommend the place.

This restaurant really needs to take a break in its existence and have more competent people working there. The tasting menu was a disaster: 2h30 to serve 6 dishes in which were between tasteless and passable. We had to constantly ask to be served the next dish. The explanation of the dishes was barely existent. Overall hard to understand how this place made a name for itself. Funny but true: a stray dog tree up in the outside area and instead of deep cleaning the place, the vomit was simply mopped, leaving most of the vomit there. Avoid.

Avoid this place. I have had to spend the evening listening to my good fried vomiting raw quail down the loo. This was the only unsafe course (pictured), the rest were just unpleasant & bland, which sadly reflects the views of several other recent reviewers. Really pains me to give such a negative review - I really liked the look of this place- but actually the reality is horrid. Guys - you have a lovely environment, great service and wine. However the food you offer is not acceptable, particularly considering the tourist prices.

My second visit to Mullixhiu was not nearly as good as the first one back in December 2022. I wanted to take my mother and partner there because my previous experience had been so enjoyable, but this time was a major letdown. The food was quite bland, lacking many of the spices that made the dishes so memorable. Even my favorite dish, the "fli," was not prepared in the same way, lacking the crispiness and flavor I had come to expect. I'm not sure if they changed chefs, but something had definitely changed. The waitstaff, while extremely friendly and professional, seemed overwhelmed with too many tables to attend to, and this affected the service. We had opted for the set menu, but all the dishes arrived one after the other far too quickly, and I had to request a break at one point. The music wasn't as soothing as it had been during my first visit when they played old Albanian music, and the restaurant felt cold. Initially, I thought it was because the door leading outside was open, but it may have been due to the air conditioning. In any case, we had to drape our coats over our shoulders, and we weren't the only ones doing so. It was a big disappointment...

To start with we had qofte and lakror which was good and tasty. Sadly, the main dish, quail, was dry and not as tasty as it could and should be. No sauce was included. All of the wine bottles were displayed on shelves in the restaurant (which held a temperature of at least 25 Celsius) and therefore it was no surprise the red wine we got served was too warm. We noticed some of the other guests at the restaurant(all tourists) asking for an ice bottle to cool down the red wine..

Lovely modern albanian restaurant on the grand Park. Very good selection of raki. Food was very nice. We tried the tasting menu that was good value at 3000lek. Highlights beef cheek, courgette salad and milk pie.

My experience was good, though i heard different opinions... first, this place has a great location, but it is hard to find among other restaurants in the park with bigger signs Second, it is very popular with locals, locals-expats and tourists Third i LOVED the menu. A lot of interesting traditional stuff. Some dishes have this modern twist , some look like albanian grandma cooking (my favorite). I definately go back to taste all the menu

Dismally poor food and performance. Wanted this place to be awesome like some of the reviews and website, but they are not firing on all cylinders. Staff, set up, ambiance, food, service were all off. Check back in a few months, maybe they recover.

We had the 7 course taster menu here and it disappoint. I would recommend only one of them (the beef cheek). The staff was polite but seemed a bit disinterested. Comparing the 3000 Lek price compared to the rest of Tirana you would expect a lot more.

Decent food but terrible service that took us over 30 minutes to order with long wait times in between our courses. I booked online ahead of visiting but request to change my reservation which was confirmed via WhatsApp. When I arrived the digital booking system was actually managed in a physical notebook that was updated with our new reservation time. We were then told to come in 20 minutes. When we got back, the waiters were not able to effectively look after the tables which led to long wait times (30 minutes+) to orders or even getting salt and pepper (15 minutes). The food was lacklustre considering the reputation of the restaurant but the ingredients were fresh and the veal and baby goat were halal. Towards the end of our meal the lights turned off, staff were leaving and it was clear that they wanted people out without the option for any further courses. Would not really recommend based on our experience of service

Two stars for a great and friendly service. The rest was an absolute disaster. I have never been this disappointed. I was expecting some kind of classy level but even the presentation of the food was absolutely horrendous. I was lowkey embarrassed for the chef. Most of the food looked like a food from prison and was basically tasteless. We have ordered two starters, two salads and two pasta dishes- the food came in a random order with not enough time to finish the previous dish. Also we got our starters as the last dish. At this point i didn’t know if i should laugh or cry. Tip for the chef: if you cannot make a dish vegetarian it is okay to say that it’s not possible, better than serving a plain porridge. We would have been better off at the burger king next doors.

Amazing Place, Amazing food and Wine. Ihad a very memorable experience here I will never forget. Tave kosi and fine Albanian wine ! BRAVO !!!

Best meat restaurant in Tirana .Start with the salad of the day, which is uniquely amazing every time. Try the amazing homemade pasta with meat. Also the beef fillet. Second time in five days I have been here for that dish. Great service. The owner cooks and also gives you advice and serves you and he really knows his business. They have excellent beef ribs as well with fresh toppings. They also have delicious desserts with chocolate or ice cream. I highly recommend it. If you are in Tirana very long you will really appreciate the few restaurants that have world class food and service. This is one of them!

After reading the reviews I had pretty high hopes for this place but the food was only okay and we had a cockroach incident that wasn’t handled well by the staff. At first the ignored it and almost when we were ready to go they excluded the drinks from the bill.

This place is definitely overhyped. The food is just ok, definitely nothing to rave about and overpriced from my experience. I went here in the evening with my daughter I had made a reservation for 4:15 pm only to get there and the restaurant was closed. The manager or owner explained that there was an error on the site but was very abrupt in his explanation and kept repeating the fact that I was late anyway as if it excused the fact that they take reservations during the time that they are supposed to be closed. I waited until 6pm to come back as I was so excited to eat at this place! I ordered the beef cheek which I quite enjoyed and would have rated the place higher if it were the only meal involved. My daughter ordered the pork chops which were cold, not warm not lukewarm completely cold. She ate maybe half of it and then I asked for it to be warmed up which took about 15 to 20 minutes and when it came back it was practically crispy bacon. I could not believe the audacity and we just left without eating it. No one seem to care because that is just the general at attitude in the place. Needless to say I will not be going back.

Gave this a 3 but more of a 3.5 rating - it felt like more tourists were there rather than locals but came here on a recommendation. There were a lot of misses than hits for the food. For the starters, the stuffed zucchini flowers had too much batter, the fli with sour cream and honey was nice, the laknor (pie) was dry and the spinach and apple salad wasn't bad. For the mains we shared the jufka with porcini with cheese which was tasty but the rosnica with chicken and zucchini was too salty. None of the dishes stood out or were amazing especially given the price point. The service was relatively good but a little slow at times.

We ordered lasagna and Albanian food, which includes lamb and some yogurt sauce? They were really good! It's quite filling so you want to share it with someone. We also ordered pickles, they were a bit too salty.

We ordered the tasting menu and unfortunately we were super disappointed. The food lacked taste and I feel like it definitely wasn't worth the price. We had been very excited to go there but left with a really bad experience.

Not the best place to eat in Tirana! For me, it was a disappointment, because I think so different about it! One day before, I wanted to make a reservation, I wrote a message to the official page, but any answer. Anyhow one day later I went for lunch with my friends. But we didn’t like anything. I didn’t understand why was so fatty meat and a lot of salt, the “polenta” was without salt, and I have two sausages in my “ polenta sausage “- but one sausage was good, another- so different, so tasteless! All the the whole day that followed we had stomach problems, bloating and fat concerns.

Tourist trap! Don’t go here! We were lured in with the message that it was very special that there was still a spot. The tone was thus set. Then we were served seven courses of "typical Albanian food" which made us think of an assembly line. In reality it was not at all appetizing: dry pieces of dirty meat, omelette and tasteless soup. Within an hour all the dishes were finished. Hard to keep it down, bah. The last bite of dessert had yet to be taken, or the impersonal waiter was already in front of the table. "You want to pay? Fine, you can." We had not indicated anything at all, but felt from everything that we had to be gone. Since the service and food were worthless, we decided not to tip. But the restaurant staff thought otherwise. They refused to return our change and pretended not to see us. Not wanting to make our mood worse, we went home. By the way, the bill was 7500 LEK. Nowhere in Albania did we eat so expensively. Do NOT go here!

We had a good time here. The food is well above average Albanian food, and from what I understand presenting a nice assortment of dishes from this cuisine, with some creative elements. The wine (Kallmet prestige) was the best Albanian wine we've tried during our stay too. Service was fast and friendly. That said, it is not fine dining and has probably 20% more hype than it can live up to. All of the dishes were good, but lacked some refinement, i.e. through perfection of seasoning. Zucchini Plum salad: great salad, but too little plum, needed way more acidity. Spinach Salad with Apple, Figbread, cheese: the best dish of the evening, everything was right here, great ingredients, great combination, great seasoning Flin: best flin we had in Albania. Definitely comforting, but not elevated/interesting. Portion way too big, that alone could have been dinner for 1. Jufka with butter: good pasta, good Butter, but again 20% of the portion would have sufficed, impossible to finish. Tranana+fermented grains: most surprising dish of the evening. This was the closest to fine dining since it really presented something unusual and confusing, yet delightful Quail: good quail, sauce not bad either. Desert: wish we could have tried but we were simply too stuffed from the above and asked for the bill. Bottom line: eat well, drink well, all comforting, not fine dining, not mind blowing.

Loved the feel of this, very cosy, friendly staff. The taster menu was delicious, so many flavours I'd not tried put together before

What an experience! One of the best places in Tirana for trying out some local food. The people here were very friendly, we had a booking and reached there on time, but they did not have a free table so they offered me and my wife some wine while we waited and kept checking on us. The food too is very tasty as they make their own pasta from scratch.

This was quite a disappointing meal. This had been highly recommended as one of the best restaurants in Tirana, however the service was very poor and felt very rushed. I understand it is a seasonal menu however many of the dishes/produce were not available, with no alternatives. Bread is served to every table at a charge without advising, it is not a big cost but should not be the case. We ordered the farmed tuna, which came out on its own - normal we thought for Albania as we commonly have ordered meats and salads separately. However ten minutes later the side of roasted vegetables came out after we had finished the main of tuna. Lots of disappointing notes to somewhere that otherwise served good food.

(Translated by Google) "No, really not. Who said that this is one of the best restaurants in Tirana? We arrive 15 minutes early and the table is not ready." All right, let's wait outside and freeze. The table they give us is attached to the toilet. Virtually all customers have used it, leaving the door open, and delighting us with smells and noises. You don't have to be greedy, the restaurant also works with one less table. Among other things, a couple of English ladies ate alone in a 6-seater table. Perhaps we are Italian, and of series b. Let's move on to food. tasteless cheeses, fat lamb left on the plate (no one asked why) jufka with porcini mushrooms that do not smell of porcini. Sweet offered by the house with a drink that spills over me. A young lady intervenes handing me a ragged napkin. Savory account. Stay away! (Original) No proprio no.Chi ha detto che questo è tra i migliori ristoranti di Tirana?Arriviamo con 15 minuti di anticipo e il tavolo non è pronto. Va bene, aspettiamo all'aperto e ci congeliamo.Il tavolo che ci danno è attaccato al gabinetto. Praticamente tutti i clienti lo hanno usato ,lasciando la porta aperta, e deliziandoci con odori e rumori. Non bisogna essere avidi, il ristorante funziona anche con un tavolo in meno.Tra l'altro, una coppia di signore inglesi mangiava da sola in un tavolo da 6 posti.Forse siamo italiani, e di serie b.Passiamo al cibo.Taglieri di formaggi insapori,agnello grasso lasciato nel piatto (nessuno ha chiesto perché) jufka con porcini che non odorano di porcini.Dolce offerto dalla casa con una bevanda che mi si rovescia addosso.

(Translated by Google) Very nice and well-kept place. Very distinctive. The flour mill is beautiful. Good service and excellent dishes. Low prices (Original) Locale molto bello e curato. Molto caratteristico. Bello il mulino della farina a vista. Buon servizio ed ottimi piatti. Prezzi contenuti

(Translated by Google) Very nice rustic style location. We went there for the first time and we had a really great time. Very nice staff, as soon as you arrive they bring you a pomegranate drink with a very good cheese bruschetta. We had a taste of salami and cheese, the veal cheek and the grilled duck all very good. Finally they brought us a dessert. Very good homemade bread and pasta. We will definitely return other times. Excellent price quality. (Original) Location molto carina stile rustico. Ci siamo stati per la prima volta e ci siamo trovati veramente benissimo. Personale molto gentile, appena arrivi ti portano un drink al melograno con una bruschetta al formaggio molto buoni. Abbiamo preso un assaggio di salumi e formaggio, il guanciale di vitello e l'anatra alla griglia tutto molto buono. Per finire ci hanno portato un dolce. Pane e pasta fatta in casa molto buona. Ci ritorneremo sicuramente altre volte. Qualità prezzo ottima.

Amazing!!!!! The tasting menu is a word of mouth option. You can ask for it, it is not set and you can’t read what is on this “menu”. We had 8 courses or small delicious plates chosen by the chef. I cannot describe the flavors in the dishes. Traditional Albanian food transformed into a modern masterpiece. It is not a place to rush through your dinner, it is to be taken slowly and thoughtfully. I will recommend this place to anyone going to Tirana.

A Michelin Quality meal in Tirana. This has to be one of the best meals you'll ever have. They have a tasting menu, and opt for the 8 course option if you really want to experience it. The menu is progressive, interesting and incredibly well though-out. If this restaurant was in New York or London, it would certainly be getting love from World's 50 Best or Michelin (As someone who has eaten at some of these restaurants). The flavours are simple, but incredibly elegant and a proper homage to the ingredients and culinary history of Albania.

An outstanding experience! The place and the food are so sophisticated and full of content. A lot of thought, love and effort has been invested in it. But what really made our evening were the Albanian people and especially among them is Clody, who won our hearts! A talented, kind and charismatic young man. He cooked and served and told us the story of the place and the thought behind each course and described in detailed the various ingredients in it. We were like in a kind of dream, full of pleasure and excitement of the food, the wine, the atmosphere and the locals who were the nicest strangers we have ever met! We highly recommend to visit this place, to get to know the traditional Albanian food, flavors, culture and the kind Albanian people!

A wonderful restaurant to try the Albanian cuisine. We took the vegetarian tasting menu and we liked every course. The price was 3000 and I assume must rise as it very cheap for the service, location and quality. Would go again when in Tirana

Extremely Disappointing Dining Experience My recent visit to Mullixhiu in Tirana was nothing short of a culinary disaster. From start to finish, it was a complete letdown. The evening began with an unwelcoming attitude from the staff. Despite having a reservation, we were seated on the less charming terrace, at a table that was still occupied by guests who hadn't finished their meals. After an agonizingly long wait, we finally received menus, but the service didn't improve. The waiter's behavior was aggressive and unprofessional, even going as far as flicking a bottle cap in my partner's direction after he asked for a serviette. Throughout the dinner, no one checked on us, and the food was simply placed in front of us without any care. Service was painfully slow, with a 30-minute wait between each course. We opted for the tasting menu, but it was a string of disappointments. Most of the dishes were objectively bad and often didn't match their descriptions on the menu. It seemed like the kitchen had given up, serving food without any passion or care. In dining, both service and food quality matter, and Mullixhiu failed miserably on both fronts. Save your money and opt for street food instead; you'll likely have a more enjoyable and authentic Albanian culinary experience. Perhaps the restaurant had better days in the past, but those days are long gone. Avoid Mullixhiu unless you're seeking a terrible dining experience.

It was a good experience, but the food experience was not what we expected. We would recommend getting individual courses instead of the tasting menu, and then share them with the table. Share 3-5 courses between 2 persons would be ideal.

Authentic Albanian food in a wonderful atmosphere. Bledar Kola, the chef keeps on the flame of tradition;-) - highly recommended. Mullixhiu simply means miller and alludes to the nostalgic mills that grind old types of grain behind a pane of glass in front of the guests. I enjoyed homemade pasta with porcini mushrooms and Beef - very delicious!

This restaurant was unexpectedly one of the highlights of my week long stay in Tirana. The menu is unique and more original than what's on offer in most Albanian cuisine restaurants in Tirana. The food was excellent -made from local seasonal ingredients. The service was also amazing. We really enjoyed our visit to Mullixhiu. Creative restaurant in every way. Special location at the entrance to the park. Highly recommended.

Very tasty tradicional food.Not a lot of choices but very tasty and interesting food.A lot of tradicional recipes that i never had known that exist all of them are very tasty you will get i welcome sour cherry drink and a piece of bread with butter.I will recomand to try a bit hight priced.

(Translated by Google) Nice environment but the service left much to be desired. Plus, the way the food was cooked did not come close to traditional Albanian cuisine. (Original) Ambient i këndshëm por shërbimi linte shumë për të dëshiruar. Plus dhe mënyra si ishte gatuar ushqimi nuk i afrohej aspak kuzhinës tradicionale shqiptare.

Great atmosphere, delicious well-priced food and amazing friendly service (all young people) which make the whole thing even better. I like Chef Kola's concept of bringing back traditional dishes and using regional ingredients only. I would definitely recommend it to you all - it's a MUST if you are in Tirana, a foodie or you like to experiment in general.

Horrible, extremely limited menu, even the few food that you find on the menu has no taste whatsoever, not to mention nothing for children, extremely overrated, boaring, overpriced. One of the worst places I have visited. You can find hundreds od restaurants in the area with far better food. Deffinitely not worth the trip.

A destination and experience restaurant, be warned you need to book to ensure you get a table. We had Mullixhiu on our google maps list of restaurants in Albania, and decided to celebrate Sal's birthday lunch there, we were incredibly impressed. Not only for the warm and friendly service, but also a big thank you to Bledar for taking the time to share your philosophy and wonderful experiences. The owner and executive chef Bledar Kola's philosophy is to show more of the traditional style of food from Albania, it truly is authentic, never have we felt so wonderful after a 4-course meal. Bledar was trained at  Noma, Pied à Terre and Le Gavroche, member of the Slow Food Cooks’ Alliance and also worked alongside an Australian chef in the UK so recognised us immediately as Aussies. We were also gifted with a beautiful birthday dessert and homemade Raki - a perfect birthday lunch. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, and the food was excellent, local wines, great value and we walked out with spring our step, the food was definitely filling but light and all-natural.

Very good restaurant. It has fresh food!

I don't know what these reviewers are talking about. The bread was amazing. After that nothing was very good at all. The fried veal brains were served cold. The duck was not crispy but rubbery, tough and dry. The beef cheeks were tender but tasted weird. It took 90 minutes to get these items served with very few patrons in the restaurant. We are fortunate they weren't busy. Great atmosphere though!

Recommend 100% !! Tasting menu totally worth it. Fresh and delicious Albanian food. The service was the best, very professional and attentive all the time.

Great restaurant with really nice atmosphere. The trout was nicely cooked and drenched in a delicious butter sauce. The pastas are ok, it's impressive that they make the pasta themselves. We had the duck and porcini mushroom pasta which was a little different from traditional pasta flavours. Well worth visiting as a trendy restaurant with nice food an atmosphere.

This was unique food experience. I must say that the vaitres were upgrading the pleasure with explaining the preparation of the food. Here you can find traditional food. During the diner, I've tried 3 new dishes that I've hadn't tried before. Recommendation. If you are in Tirana, you must visit this restaurant. And the ambient of the restaurant is great.

Really nice restaurant in Tirana. Revisited traditional Albanian food with a lot of goat cheese and lamb. The Chef welcomed us warmly and often came to make sure everything was alright. He was also really open to criticism about his food (We come from France and Japan). We had an amazing time thank you so much! :)

Visited last weekend and we lunched here the food was good. Special thing about it is that you rarely find such dishes in other restaurants around and also as I have noticed they had everything bio and its worth visit once l. I agree with one other comment about pricing it is expensive but its worth visit it at least once a year and taste real bio food.

This is one of the best restaurants in Tirana. You get traditional Albanian food cooked to perfection. They have a great unique menu and the food tastes fantastic. Great price as well. Thank you.

A great location in the park and with an outdoor area to enjoy rays of sunshine. The service is excellent, as was the complementary bread and soup. Grilled goose was great. Unfortunately goose brains were quite indistinct in flavour and texture, lost in a deep fry batter. Pasta is made fresh - fat petka is good, but our jufka (like fettuccine) was broken pieces which was a terrible shame. Buying pasta from their shop to take away is cheaper than supermarket pasta. Ok overall with some reservations. Menu attached.

Incredible food, service and atmosphere. If you're after an amazing dining experience with the friendliest waitstaff I'd highly recommend this amazing gem. The wine selection by the bottle is fantastic too.

Excellent food and very friendly service. I flew to Albania to eat here and was not disappointed!

A little small but I really enjoyed the traditional food of North Albania. A must in Tirana.

Booked a table weeks in advance just to experience the tasting menu as a highlight of our holiday. When we arrived the waiter told us there currently wasn't any tasting menu or alternative available. Huge disappointment, especially because there wasn't any notification on the website where the menu is still listed.

Delicious food and amazing stuff, highly recommended

We were recommended this restaurant by a friend and were certainly not dispointed. We chose the tasting menu and a lovely bottle of Albanian wine, the staff were very helpful and explained each course to us fully in perfect English. Every one of the 8 courses was exquisite and a varied representation of Albania cuisine. Highly recommended to all foodies who find themselves in Tirana!

During October I had my last big group of guest, but what made it special, was the mix of eleven nations. Last night of the 7 day tour was in Tirana, they wanted to experience some real Albanian traditional sloow food. We had the most awesome dinner of the tour, thanks to the chef and the staff who always is very understanding and friendly.

Very creative chef, serving de-constructed albanian village food. Very helpful wait staff that speaks excellent English

(Translated by Google) An intimate restaurant where the Albanian tradition is visible both in the courses and in the homemade pasta package, worked in their laboratory and bread. Corn products are used not as a complement but as protagonists on a par with wheat. The Balkan and Turkish contaminations are obvious. The atmosphere of the restaurant is warm and the staff very courteous and available to give information about the dishes. The aperitif they offer us is pomegranate juice, prepared by them, close to us. Appetizer of cheeses and plum jam. Salad with figs and balsamic vinegar. I had never tasted a mixture of agro-sweet flavors of this type. The pasta worked in their laboratory ... Excellent maltagliati with duck and porcini mushrooms, good one with olives and mushrooms. Soft and tasty kid meat. The vegetable side dish brought to the table in the pan. Their dessert is a fermented corn drink served in typical pipes. Good grappa "raki". The restaurant looks like an old inn, it is eaten on tables without tablecloths, immersed in a soft light. Some of the dishes they recommended to ask for were not on the menu. Certainly an experience to do. (Original) Un ristorantino intimo dove la tradizione Albanese è visibile sia nelle portate, che nella confezione casareccia della pasta, lavorata nel loro laboratorio e del pane. I prodotti di mais sono utilizzati non come complemento ma come protagonisti alla pari del grano. Ovvie le contaminazioni balcaniche e turche. Il clima del locale è caldo ed il personale molto cortese e disponibile a dare informazioni sui piatti. L'aperitivo che ci offrono è di succo di melagrana, preparato da loro, vicino a noi. Antipasto di formaggi e marmellata di prugne. Insalata con fichi e aceto balsamico. Non avevo mai assaggiato un misto di sapori agro-dolci di questo tipo. La pasta lavorata nel loro laboratorio... Ottimi i maltagliati con anatra e funghi porcini, buona quella con olive e funghi. Carne di capretto morbida e gustosa. Il contorno di ortaggi portato al tavolo nella padellino. Il loro dessert è una bevanda di mais fermentato servito in tipiche pipe. Buona la grappa "raki". Il locale appare come un'antica locanda, si mangia su tavoli senza tovaglie, immersi in una luce soffusa. Alcuni piatti che ci avevano consigliato di chiedere non erano nel menù. Un'esperienza da fare certamente.

The place inside is cosy and the staff extremely kind. The food however is not the best I had in Tirana. The slow food concept is appreciable (traditional recepies) yet some dishes were just averagely good (especially the meat quite hard to chew)

(Translated by Google) We ordered the tasting menu and we loved it. I recommend it! (Original) Pedimos el menú degustación y nos encanto. Lo recomiendo!

We ordered 4 starters, and they ranged from bland to dry and distasteful. We decided not to stay for the main dishes, but the waitress insisted we would receive 2 desserts on the house. The service is fine, but the food was below acceptable quality for us.

Traditional albanian food in a very nice atmosphere. You will be surprised and have fun with the dessert

Best traditional food in town

Best food in Tirana

Fine choice of original organic food. Fine young staff.

Excellent.. Different

Amazing food in an amazing atmosphere. The staff is very careful and polite. A must go place if you visit Tirana

One of the best dining experiences we had in Albania. Everything from the amuse bouche to the dessert was tasty and fun. Portions were good, and excellent value. Would have loved to come back to try the tasting menu but we didn't get a chance. If you want to try traditional Albanian food with a modern twist, this is the place.

This place is just wonderful. From start to finish, we were treated with the most fantastic Albanian hospitality, we wined and dined like kings and got a unique chance to sample truly exquisite Albanian cuisine. The dishes were beautifully presented, the wine was really good and the atmosphere at Mullixhiu is just splendid. I know I am offering a ton of compliments here but it is entirely deserved. If you there is one place that you must not miss, then it’s this!

Amazing food. Local ingredients and very helpful service. Also nice ambience and prices are really cheap compared to western Europe restaurants

The food, service and traditional themed interior is sublime. One of the best restaurants I visited on my travels through the Balkans. The staff spoke excellent English and guided me through the menu. Their recommendations were perfect. Don’t forget to try the home made pasta. Remember to book in advance. This place is popular and rightly so.

Amazing place for a slow dinner with nice atmosphere and very attentive service. Fusion food and traditional food can be found in the menu. We opted for fusion food and the combination of flavors was exceptional.

Nice spot for a fancified take on traditional Albanian food. The food is supported by it's own farm (and original sister restaurant) outside of Tirana. The trout, beef cheek, and seasonal pumpkin dishes are excellent, but you may want to avoid the tasting menu as ordering your own main dish and pasta is likely better.

I really liked this resturant!! The deguststion menu gives you so many angles into Albania food culture! The atmosphere is nice and food is tasty! The price is great too, really good value for money here 😁 Staff is super friendly and speaks english well! I reccomend booking a table, the place is popular!

Same menu and nothing special if you go for the second time. One crucial thing is that hygena. Tables where you seat have draws with to many forks spoons knives, but remember you with your germs are touching more than one. As a result some of them might be greasy. Business had started with too much publicity but very soon started fallowing down due to bad managing wich is more than speaking politely. A can only say good luck

The food smelled bad and it took quite a while to arrive. The wine was okay, the bread was a bit dry, the cheese was nice, the meatballs with trahana were a bit undercooked. The menu needs an update because it had non available items. Generally, would not recommend visiting.

Menu looks crazy, but tastes like heaven!

The value of the tasting menu was good and the food was well prepared but too much fermented food (3 out of 7 courses, even the dessert) and organs for us (2 of 7). Great service but very very very slow. We spent 3 hours there and there was no airflow in the outside space and very uncomfortable hard wooden chairs. I was feasted on by mosquitoes too. The sourdough bread, although not free, was great.

(Translated by Google) Very tasteful and folksy Albanian furnished restaurant with delicious national dishes and fine wines. Service very friendly and the chef always in a good mood. (Original) Sehr geschmackvoll und volkstümlich albanisch eingerichtetes Restaurant mit leckeren Nationalgerichten und erlesenen Weinen. Bedienung sehr freundlich und der Chefkoch immer gut gelaunt.

We were very excited to try this restaurant and tried to come with an open mind to try local Albanian meats and specialties with a twist. We are open-minded eaters and were curious to taste interesting meats. In the end, I would say the concept is great and it’s a good start and several dishes are outstanding, but hoping some of the execution improves on the rest. Most portions are pretty big considering the majority of dishes are heavy. Keep that in mind when ordering. I would say 3 dishes shared by 2 people is plenty. We got 5 in order to try a bunch of things and it was way too much heavy food. The price wasn’t bad for all that though. Around 5,500 including a bottle of wine and water. Our favorites were the goat brain appetizer (lightly fried and melts in your mouth) and the beef cheeks main dish. I would say those are a must. The recommended bottle of local white wine was great too. We also ordered the eggplant and fig salad —dripping with dressing and somewhat tasteless eggplant, so the salad didn’t feel refreshing and was a miss for us. Goat liver with polenta dish was too heavy and big to be served as an appetizer. The goat liver was relatively gamey. If you don’t mind that, it’s a decent dish overall but get it as a main. Lastly, we decided to try the homemade pasta. We chose the wild berry version as it sounded interesting, but unfortunately the execution didn’t work well. We barely ate it. The pasta was wheat and very al dente, and it was drenched in sweet berry sauce. It tasted a bit like a ad dessert so I would advise to skip it. The waiters all speak English well and are trying their best to provide great service. We appreciated it!

(Translated by Google) Delicious food and nice restaurant! (Original) Ushqim i shijshëm dhe restorant i këndshëm!

Is very bad , they are giving you a sime food with over price in Albania. And always you need to booked , in looks top exclusivity but it is a farm restorant.

I’m in looove

This is a small cosy place. We sat outside and it was a very hot day. Be warned that there is no air flow in that area. The service was great and our waiter was very attentive. The food was good, but I don't think we could enjoy it as much as we would have liked to because it was so hot outside.

Really great atmosphere, pleasant food, nice local wine.

(Translated by Google) Typical Albanian cuisine restaurant. Cute and welcoming, a wedding favor right next to the artificial lake. The bread is homemade and the dishes are typical but original. You are greeted with a welcome pomegranate cocktail and a toast with cheese foam. Inside the room, visible from abroad, there are the machines with which the bread and pasta are kneaded, on the wall, on various threads, the dough is placed and dried. I recommend the fried zucchini flowers stuffed with ricotta, really delicious. The beef cheek was so tender it could only be cut with a fork and literally melted in your mouth. I recommend booking, given the limited availability of tables. Medium-low price. (Original) Ristorante di cucina tipica albanese. Carino ed accogliente, una bomboniera proprio di fianco al lago artificiale. Il pane è fatto in casa e i piatti sono tipici ma originali. Si viene accolti con un cocktail di benvenuto al melograno e un crostino con spuma di formaggio. All’interno del locale, a vista dall’estero, ci sono i macchinari con cui impastano il pane e la pasta, sulla parete, su vari fili, viene messa la pasta ed asciugare. Consiglio i fiori di zucca fritti ripieni di ricotta, davvero deliziosi. La guancia di manzo era così tenera che si tagliava solo con la forchetta e ti si scioglieva letteralmente in bocca. Consiglio di prenotare, visto l’esigua disponibilità di tavoli. Prezzo medio-basso.

(Translated by Google) A restaurant to visit, both being a local and a visitor. The site has an exquisite design based on tradition and a magnificent and very professional customer service, they were attentive to every detail offering us even a bottle of wine for a "delay" that we could not even perceive. The food is traditional with a contemporary twist, of spectacular quality and the dishes very hearty. I recommend not to miss the starters, and to share different main dishes. Above all, go without haste to be able to enjoy the place, the company and the moment. Again my congratulations to such an incredible experience. (Original) Un restaurante para visitar, tanto siendo local como visitante. El sitio tiene un diseño exquisito basado en la tradición y una atención al cliente magnífica y muy profesional, estuvieron atentos a cada detalle ofreciéndonos hasta una botella de vino por un "retraso" que ni pudimos percibir. La comida es tradicional con un giro contemporáneo, de calidad espectacular y los platos muy abundantes. Recomiendo no perderse los entrantes, y compartir diferentes platos principales. Sobretodo ir sin prisa para poder disfrutar del sitio, la compañia y el momento. Nuevamente mis felicitaciones a tan increíble experiencia.

Excellent food from local products. Also staff is very friendly and helpful. It's quite a busy place and we had to wait a bit but it was totally worth it! Cosy place, would go there again

This place was recommended to me by locals and I gave it a try. I had the baby goat with a Jerusalem salad and I wasn't disappointed. Service was friendly. Food portions were sufficient. No complaints. I would highly recommend it. Staff are super friendly and are passionate. The explanation of every dish was first class!

Even though the food wasn’t bad, it was not a good service because they cheated on price. I ordered just a glass of wine(4 euro) but they brought a whole bottle(20 euro) and charged me for that.

The Best!!!! Congratulations!!!!

If you like to try something diferrent,not the standart every day usual you might find everywhere, this place is a must to taste the food and drink ! I'm rating it with 4 stars only for my personal reasons..because I think there is no any absolut thing in this world...

Lovely food and place

Italian style in details! Delicious fresh food, served in the best advised italian wine and last but not least the meat specialties are really outstanding!

My second time here. Once again, 5 stars for food, service, atmosphere, immaculately clean! Dont miss it!

The best veal chops! Everything was delicious. I will definitely return!

I am a world traveler. I ate in New York, Rome, London, Paris, Milan, Florence & many other places. This place is one of the best places I have ever eat in. The Chef is very talented. Literally I wipe all the plates 😅

only ok. Starters: a salad which was good and stuffed zucchini flowers. sounds great but flowers were covered in batter and stuffed with a very strong cheese. Nice but with those flavours what is the point of stuffing a flower? if you cant taste it why serve it? Mains beef cheek. good bit nothing to write home about and a por chop which was… a pork chop. Pudding a gelatinous cheese cake. meal for 2 with wine 50 euros far too expensive for what it is 2.5 ⭐️⭐️✨

If it wasn’t the manager, I would have given them 5 stars The place is wonderful, they make everything from scratch,bread, olive oil , cheese, meat, everything Slow cook their meat for hours, we loved the food. But the service was very bad, they weren’t so busy but the manager ( maybe owner) was acting like he was serving 1000 people the same time I would go back for sure fir the food

The food was mediocre and doused in oil. Really quite disappointing. The roasted vegetables were great but I wouldn’t recommend the fli or meat options and anything else. The interior is quite cool with the wood and there is a shop for products but I didn’t buy those.

This little gem absolutely got us. Very interesting food compositions. Some fermented drinks and dishes, which you don't often find. The dishes were nicely thought through and we were able to actually taste the flavours of the ingredients as the cook uses only as much salt and spices as necessary. The mill equipment and atmosphere were nice and cozy. Highlight beside the stunning food was the helpfulness of the waiter (perfect English by the way). He rearranged the menu to be gluten-free since my partner can't have wheat flour. We highly recommend a visit here. Especially if you want to get some non-mainstream quality dining.

Really nice ambiance in my opinion. You can see them making bread through the glass window. I love their quail. We also had duck. They were out of goat. The waitress spoke English & the service was very good.

DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE The worst experience ever. I had a reservation, showed there on time, and they told me to go wait somewhere else because they were full, nobody seemed to care about my reservation!! When we finally sat, the table was not clean, there were no napkins nor utensils and they never brought them, had to use some that were in the drawers of the table. Waiters messed up the order. Appetizers were not so good, and very little portions. Waited for about 1 hour for the main course and still was not ready.. finally decided to leave with a very bad taste of the place. Rude people, no managers around, very bad service and bad food!

Absolutely fantastic place. Both service and the food is just top notch. Creative, down to earth dishes with top quality ingredients. Highly recommended. If you would like to enjoy what Albanian traditional dishes can offer when it’s reinvented in 2023, choose the tasting menu. It does not disappoint. Also if you are familiar with Slow Food, you will enjoy this place even more for sure. It’s not a marketing stunt that they use the movement in their communications, but they are acutely part of it. It was brilliant. We will definitely come back when we visit Tirana again!

Prices are good. Got 2 appetizers- cheese/meat tray which was large and tasty & the meatballs which were dry and needed seasoning. For entrees we did pork and veal. Both we’re super dry and definitely needed more seasoning and sauce. Staff was great. But, I would not go back.

We got tasty menu. 7 courses (3000 Lek). All food were sereved and tasted simple which is ok. Not the great taste but a new one you havn't tried before. One time is ok, second time no thanx. No wow exprience

We had booked table and had to wait very long time because they didn't have it ready. After waiting we got the food very different then our friends one week before had even the name was the same. The food didn't have any flavor and not impressed at all .
