Place is okay, food was tasty when we have been there. We was turning back to this restaurant this year because we really liked the food last year, but we will not go anymore and I would not recommend the place to anyone as don't like the attitude of the owner lady...not friendly at all and made us to feel like they doing favour to us, she looks very arrogant....nose in the sky. They made us feel we are not welcome there and will definitely not go back anymore. We decided to choosw Era restaurant in Blloku instead, lovely place with very friendly staff. In addition if you want to try more traditional food you should choose Era, they have plenty food, better than this arrogant place....

We found this restaurant on happy cow as it has vegan options. They are opening at 13 on Sundays and we came at 11 (before our flight). The owner (I guess) let us in and served us food and drinks despite it was closed. We were so happy! She was super friendly and nice. She didn't speak any English word and we Albanian but we understood each other perfectly :) The food was excellent! Really nice Albanian vegan food. The leek pie, we took with us as it was cheese inside but she told us so our grandfathers enjoyed it ;) Thank you so much again for your hospitality, well done!

The place is a little hard to find as it’s tucked away from the main street, we were lucky a nice local saw the we’re kind of lost and showed us the way. The food taste is great, we ordered rice, peppered rice, lamb, grilled vegetables honey yoghurt and a few sodas. Portion and price is below the traditional norm (as a local Albanian), you can get more for the price somewhere else. But if you are a tourist wanting to try local cuisines I guess it’s okay. Overall, for a one time experience, it’s worth it.

- Food: talented professional cook; very tasty Albanian traditional cuisine. Reasonable prices It is one of the first places in Tirana where I bring my foreign friends who are visiting and like traditional food. - Service: very friendly waiters and even the owner is often around helping in the kitchen. She comes from time to time to greet us. - Atmosphere: the restaurant looks like the garden of a museum, filled with lemon trees and colorful flowers. Very frequented by tourists and locals.

Visited for lunch for the roast lamb and the lamb head. Quite disappointed that both lamb dishes were quite cold when it was served, seemed like it was already pre cooked and therefore not as good. Lamb was not really seasoned And nothing special. However the stuffed peppers was freshly made and very delicious. The decor is quite nice but wouldn’t come back again.

Albanian traditional food served in a casual “home” type atmosphere. Several seating options - entry courtyard or inside or in the upstairs terrace. We sat on the terrace - concrete slab for seats along the wall with simple tables and chairs. The servers were rushed and did not give adequate time to our table. Please don’t embarrass yourself by asking chilli sauce or Tabasco or similar item - our female server rudely replied this is not America! In any case black pepper saved the day! One thing I did not like and I think the Food Inspectors would not be happy with is that the servers pile plates loaded with food on top of each other. So the bottom of the top plate is sitting on the food served in the plate below. I am quite certain that the bottom of the plates is not squeaky clean. They need to bring the food in trays and not plate upon plate piles up with food. The food service is slow and not personable. We asked for our bill four times and each time the server nodded towards a door. We kept waiting. Finally I got up to ask and the server said “pay at the counter!” He could and should have said that the very first time. Anyways, finally towards the end of our meal? The servers let our finished plates sit on the table for over 40 minutes and even then did not completely clean up our table for dessert. About 2 hours later - we ate slow so that we could see & hear the musicians —- the musicians arrived. They were good and played Albanian folk songs and some Italian songs for a large group of Italians. The food was tasty. They have at least four or five vegetarian options. Reservations are recommended.

Oda is true local restaurant. If you are in Tirana you have to come. The prices are good, food excellent and special shoots. The workers are nice to you and you can pay by card or cash. Feeling like you are in the village with amazing atmosphere. ✅✅✅

I nice place, I've been there a couple of times. 💵 Accepts only cash what is not too convenient. 🥙 Baked lamb tastes amazingly. Stuffed peppers are very good. The rest is not as good. If you want a healthy meal, you need to order everything separately: meat, salad, side dish. Portions are big and these 3 meals would be good for 2 persons. 🍷 Wine is okay but feels a bit strong. Twice, we have got 25cl and it was too much for 2 person. ⭐️ The place is not a highest standard but is okay for its price. Definitely worth checking once. Adding a fresher menu in case one needs 🙂

Came here due to the food reviews but It didn't keep up to the hype. Waited almost 40 minutes to be seated. once we had a table, no one actually came to clean our tables for about 15 minutes as there were still dishes from previous customers while some customers after us had their tables cleaned and given menu cards. Food is expensive and the taste is not great. The chicken cooked traditionally was decent however flavours could be better. I would rate it 5/10.

I went to this location after reading its google reviews (thank you to all previous reviewers)! This place surely didn’t disappoint. My partner and I showed up and had to wait about 30 minutes to be seated without a reservation. We shared a table with another lovely couple. I loved the communal feeling! It’s a small and cozy place with very limited seating. We were also served Raki for free as a “sorry you have to wait” which I thought was a lovely gesture! The young server was super kind and the food was delicious. If you don’t mind sharing a table and you love food then this place is for you! DON’T MISS OUT

We went to this location only to discover that there was just empty space in the park. Where is this restaurant?

This traditional Albanian restaurant was very tasty. Small menu consisting of lamb and veggies dishes. We had lamb, stuffed peppers and veggies. Was all tasty. Sat outside in courtyard which was nice. Friendly staff. Menu in English.

Amazing place with ridiculously fresh and tasty food. The salad was just the plain vegetables yet they tasted amazing. They had options for vegetarians and vegans too.

One of the best restaurants in Albania! I was so impressed of the vibe, the taste of food, music and the historical side of the restaurant. The interior design is so amazing and the waiter Herti is so charming, funny and lovely. He told me so many beautiful things about Tirana. The owner definitely should give him a raise. I’ll come back every time when I’ll be in Albania. I can even say that was one of the best dishes in my life. If you want to try the best of Albanian food, definitely come here.

Awesome! The food is mostly super cheap and very tasty. I just regret asking for so many dishes because I couldn’t eat any more right since the middle of it. But worth it

The best place in town to try Albanian cuisine! Very friendly staff, who speaks perfect English and serve authentic, traditional food with wide variety of vegetarian options. The only downside is that you can’t pay here by card and they accept cash only… But after trying some home made wine and Rakı you don’t care about it 😂

This might be the cutest and most unique restaurant in Tirana. The atmosphere, the music, staff friendliness and the restaurant's fully traditional meals menu makes it the best. I ate there 2 times, and every time the meat was super tender and side dishes very flavorful. The best restaurant in Tirana.

I didn’t like the food. I understand that it’s traditional food but options were quite limited. I liked the Korca beer though. I had a rice with beef liver that was OK.

(Translated by Google) Nice and quiet family run restaurant, very good for those who want to try authentic Albanian food, (Original) مطعم جميل و هادئ يدار عائليا جيد جدا لمن ارد تجربة الاكل الالباني الاصلي ،

Oda is one of the rare restaurants offering what is labelled as Albanian traditional food. It's mostly popular with visitors and tourists. Locals rarely venture here. The food might be labelled as traditional, but the offerings will appeal to a very limited audience. I visited because I was curious. There's a lot of room for improvement.

One of the best restaurants we have visited in Tirana. It was recommended by our tour guide and she nailed it. This place offers traditional Albanian dishes. It is a bit hard to find as it is off the main street, but the search was totally worth it. It looks like an old house converted into a restaurant. The interior decoration is cozy, full of historical elements and paintings, and it has a wooded interior patio full of nature, perfect for a romantic dinner with your partner. The food is delicious and the portions are big enough. The staff is friendly and attentive. They even have live music sometimes. The prices are fair considering the quality of the food and the whole experience. Overall, I think the quality of service was excellent. A very enjoyable experience. I hope to return one day and try more dishes.

The location is great because even if it doesn't seem from the outside when you enter is a really nice and big restaurant but I didn't like the chair where they sit me. Food was relatively good (the best the bread because it is way different than others) but we couldn't finish the meal and it's a bit more expensive than you may think

We went with friends to try real Albanian cuisine, but it wasn't for us. soup with meatballs, very good, delicate. the lamb was good but there was no addition. you have to like a head like a head. Great service! 🇦🇱🇵🇱

Delicious traditional Albanian food according to the reviews it is a very busy restaurant, but I walked in for a late lunch around 4:30pm on a Sunday, and was seated immediately in a beautiful courtyard. I ordered the stuffed peppers and eggplant (was able to order one portion of one of each) and they were both delicious. Servers were very friendly. Definitely recommend.

We ate good meatball soup and rice balls (qifci) which could use more salt. Good kraft beer and nice red wine, but it was a bit too warm. They have weird bread, it is not that good like everywhere else in Albania. The stuff was very friendly and helpful, the food came very quickly (and they had a lot of customers then!). It was nice live music too. Overall, the place is made for tourists, no locals were there, but sadly it is one of the few places in Tirana where you can try traditional food (other than fast food).

We came for dinner and the queue outside was very long (seems to be a very popular spot amongst tourists). Staff are in no rush to seat you or manage expectations of how long it will take. We only got a table once I went and asked if we can sit inside (the wait is much longer if you want to sit outside in the cute terrace). Table service again very slow, the staff themselves are nice but must be understaffed or inefficient. Once we finally ordered the food came out quite quickly. We ate lamb, peppers stuffed with rice and spinach pie. Lamb may not look aesthetic but was very good, lots of flavour. The pepper was my favourite dish, very delicious. Spinach pie lacked flavour, no cheese. House wine was good and reasonable price. P.S. don’t forget cash.

Delicious traditional Albanian food. Definitely try the stuffed peppers and slow cooked lamb. If you're into insides, the tripe is beautifully caramelised and very tasty. We couldn't decide on dessert so we tried them all, 3 for 2 people. They were a good introduction to Albanian desserts but quite filling. The tastiest was the cake which was the first one on the list which.

Traditional atmosphere and menu. A lot of very good vegan and vegetarian options if that is what you are looking for. Big portions. Reasonable prices. Friendly English speaking staff.

Great service, possibility to order half portions (so you can try more dishes). Good local wine. Feels touristy, but locals also eat there :)

Super friendly and helpful people (who speak amazing English) who run this small restaurant which is tucked away off the street in an alley (I was lucky that despite having it in mind for that evening, I happened to walk past it anyway and see where it was without having to search for it later). It's almost like going into someone's house but in a good way. The menu is small and to the point, and very reasonably priced.

(Translated by Google) Traditional cuisine is. Good (Original) Cuisine traditionnelle est. Bonne

Tourist trap, worst food in 4 weeks of being in Albania. Do not waste your time and money to come here

(Translated by Google) Good restaurant, you can eat calmly and the taste of the dishes is good. The downside is that if you don't book, you may have to wait more than an hour and if you eat outside, be careful because there are cats surrounding your food to steal something from you at any moment. (Original) Buen restaurante, se puede comer con calma y el gusto de los platos es bueno. Lo malo es que si no reservas puede que tengas que esperar más de una hora y si comes en la parte de afuera, cuidado porque hay gatos rodeando tu comida para en cualquier momento de despiste robarte algo.

Tourist trap. Overpriced. Poor personnel, poor ambience. Little choice of dishes (mostly lamb & vegetarian).

Excellent home made food in a lovely atmosphere. The service is super nice too. The photos don't do the food just but they taste great. They also have raki which you should try to finish up your meal

During 12 day visit to Tirana we came here 2 times. Food is fantastic, not extensive menu, very authentic environment, family atmosphere, we kept trying multiple dishes. I would strongly recommend .

Great traditional food! If you want to explore the Albanian cuisine, come here. This is a restaurant for those who wants to fell new tastes and textures. The tave plenci (lamb stomach) is addictive, the stuffed peppers are excellent too. I ate kokoreci in Greece and Turkey but these are definitely the best. This is not a restaurant for those who usually eat pizza and burgers. Friendly owner.

A great restaurant to get a taste of the Albanian cuisine. What I loved about it is the fact that it had indoor and outdoor tables, as well as a lot of cats around. 🐈 Great for cat lovers! Also, the food is tasty and served fast.

Amazing food! Vegan and vegetarian friendly restaurant. Worth trying! Stuffed eggplant and peppers, salad, traditional bread and vegetable soup. All great and on top that really friendly staff!!!!!

This place looked very nice and they offer traditional Albanian food with slightly higher prices than other restaurants we've been. The food was amazing and delicious and the waiters were friendly. Our only concern was that we needed to wait 40+minutes until they gave us the soup which is pretty shocking. After the soup an other 15+ min passed by and they served the meals which weren't as hot as we expected them - although they weren't cold, but after waiting for so long you'd expect a hot dish. They might be sort of staff, but I still recommend visiting the place.

The place has a lot of potential but not sure we saw it all. First of all it’s a huge restaurant with several rooms and gardens where you can sit. Clearly most customers are tourists and so staff are rather unfriendly. We also did not hear or see any live music. Food was decent but I am sure there are equally good places elsewhere. The aubergines with meat were our favourite dish and highly recommend. Burek was nice, village salad needs some love put in it. Not sure I’d come back. Service was slow and rather unwelcoming so I’d rather give my money to a place that appreciates having tourists.

Great flavors, good portions and prices. Loved the outside garden and the friendliness of the staff. A bit crowded but that's good for them :) Their bread is AMAZING

Tasty food. Eggplant dish is the star. Fërgesë very nice. Lamb super tender and tasty but small portion for € 10.50. Overall, the experience was nice. Go early (~8 pm for us) or make a reservation for the garden area. Service was OK as well. No delays, maybe because it wasn't crowded when we arrived.

Great traditional Albanian restaurant with typical dishes 👌🏼 the atmosphere and design was great, there were some men wearing traditional clothes singing songs and playing some instruments, the staff was very friendly, every dish was delicious 🙌🏽 they have few gardens with fruit trees 🫶🏼 definitely recommend this restaurant if you want to feel and taste real Albania 🇦🇱

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Oda, a gem of a restaurant nestled in the heart of Tirana, Albania. Despite the bustling crowd of tourists, Oda managed to maintain its authenticity, providing an exceptional dining experience with truly authentic Albanian cuisine. The restaurant exuded an undeniable charm, capturing the essence of Albanian culture. From the moment I stepped in, I felt enveloped in the warm and welcoming atmosphere, enhanced by the rustic yet cozy interior. Now, onto the highlight – the food. Venturing to try the local specialty, lamb head, was an adventure in itself. Served with an exquisite blend of local herbs and spices, the dish showcased the rich culinary heritage of Albania. The lamb head, expertly prepared, offered a unique and flavorful experience, taking my taste buds on a journey through the local gastronomic traditions. What added to the overall ambiance was the live music that filled the air during our visit. The musicians delivered a performance that could easily stand as a solo concert. The melodies, resonating with traditional Albanian tunes, provided a soundtrack that elevated the entire dining experience. In summary, Oda is not just a restaurant; it's a culinary odyssey through Albanian flavors and traditions. The authenticity of the setting, combined with the excellence of the food and the captivating live music, made this dining experience truly unforgettable. If you find yourself in Tirana and have a taste for adventure, Oda is a must-visit destination that promises a cultural and gastronomic delight.

For me the best restaurant in Albania, great food and amazing service. Definitely when I will be back to Albania I will come here! Sergio and Erwin are really kind guys and advice me about the best food to order, 5 stars to them!!

I know it is a popular place, but there was absolute lack of atmosphere. All was way too simple, it was cold (windows were open) and a heater was standing in the room. Didn't like it, food was ok, but would rather go somewhere else 🤔

Resturant has a very nice atmosphere and nice staff. Food was ok, was expecting more flavor for the reviews it has on Google. Discovered that the resturant was a bit pricey (almost double the bill) compared to nearby restaurants. We ordered vegetable soup, egg plant and stuffed pepper, byrek, the cream cheese with paprika and the meat balls or bifteke. Flavors were ok, meat was salty. Staff are nice, the place is nice...sometimes hard to find a table, or might need to wait long. Amount spent 1700 lek per person

Saved Oda as the last night of holiday. The entrance was amazing with an amazing family run team of chefs and waiters. The food was beyond expectations, we tried the Tavë kosi as one of the traditional dishes of Albania 🇦🇱 It was so good a group of 4 could finish and more! Mid through our eating Journey in one of the Living rooms of the house we were beautifully interrupted by a musical group of men singing and playing some of the traditional music with it's influential ting from the middle east and Turkey. Highly recommend as it was a profound end to our trip. food🥙(House Wine, Tavë kosi dish, Sallate me perime, )🥘

Exceptional local food - probably the best lamb I’ve ever had! Hearty flavours, big portions and lots of options. We were served by a very friendly waiter who did a great job of making us feel welcome and answering our questions about the food. The house wine and raki is also worth a try!

Wonderful food, really traditional mom-made taste. We tried several dishes; stuffed pepper, beans, kukurec, lamb, salad...all of them were just wonderful. Small local place, so need reservation I assume because there was long queue when we were leaving. Open house wine also great.

The place looks like a hidden gem of Tirana. Lovely family restaurant with delicious food and friendly service. Totally recommended.

Quiet on a weekend lunch in January but great food. Lamb was soft and flavoursome, village chicken even better. The bread is fantastic as well, more akin to a scone or cake and goes well with fergese.

Tasty traditional meal. Love the name. Friendly staff with good recommendations. Came around 8pm on a tuesdaay in winter, didnt have to wait. Cash only, but into worth it. Had the peppers, the cheese, the soup(very nice), the lamb, and the lamb stomach, and the buttermilk. And all three desserts - all v tasty

Great atmosphere, very authentic. Neat and tidy. Food tastes great. Good portions. Bread is just fantastic.

Very nice place for traditional Albanian food. I had the pinto beans and stuffed eggplant and it was plenty for 2 people. I had to take half of it home with me. Good prices especially for how much food you get.

Lovely people and service. Food was delicious 🤤😍 Thank u nënë ☺🙏🏻 We will be back for sure 😉 See u soon nënë😉😘

Prices of dishes were quite normal. You will think that it worths if you go there. Owners and workers of the place were nice people, they have taken care of us well. We had a good time thanks to them. Have enjoy there already now 🤗

Can’t get a better homemade, traditional cuisine in Tirana. Service on point, listen to their suggestions. Get a shot of Raki at the end of the meal!

Tasty and fair price

We enjoyed a fully vegan, home cooked, beautiful late lunch at Oda this week. Food was absolutely amazing. Try the grilled aubergine stuffed with vegetables and the Lima beans. 💚

(Translated by Google) Very good, traditional in all, excellent price quality (Original) Molto buono, tradizionale in tutto, qualità prezzo ottimo

so niiiiiceeeee

We adored our entire experience at Oda. The decor envelopes you in old world charm, the (English speaking) service was warm and welcoming, the menu offered so many entices choices we knew we'd need to return for more. We prefer to eat vegetarian, which was no trouble at all here. The home-style cooking was presented in generous portions at great prices. The flavors were layered expertly with tantalizing spices. And don't skip dessert (even if you're unlikely to be able to finish it, as was our case). Highly recommended!

Small restaurant, looks like you enter in a small village restaurant. Limited choice of food, all excellent. Especially the lamb (a MUST). Friendly staff. Feeling that you step out of time and out of town.

True Albanian Food

Came here last night for dinner with a group of colleagues. Firstly, because it had good reviews. And secondly, well, because of my name. :) Apparently Oda in Albanian is a room where you host guests and families in your home, I think similar to a living room. ( ) Very homey feeling, which is why they named it Oda. (+) Their homemade Raki is very delicious. (+) Vegetarian options available, since we did have a vegetarian with us. (-) Chicken in a wood stove- dry, tasteless, seasonless chicken. If you order, make sure to order with rice b/c it doesn't have any. Definitely could have been more tender, seasoned... (+) There was a cottage cheese and pepper appetizer that was very good. Came with their homemade bread which came out warm and was good. (-) I'm personally not a fan of pickled vegetables, but the appetizer is all that. Pickled tomato, cabbage, and pepper. My colleagues seemed to be okay with it, but it wasn't my thing. (+) Stuffed eggplant was very good. (+) The stuffed peppers looked very good, although I didn't have any. (+) Very friendly server who was very patient with our questions. ( ) Just a note that their bathroom is a squatty potty. Would recommend this place if you are looking for a casual, local eating experience.

(Translated by Google) A must try if you want to know the traditional Albanian cuisine. Excellent freshly prepared food with generous portions. Excellent wine. Homemade sweets. Very nice and helpful staff. The typical furniture gives that extra touch to get to know the rooms of the past and this offers not only excellent food, but also a welcoming place. (Original) Assolutamente da provare se si desidera conoscere la cucina tradizionale albanese. Cibo ottimo preparato al momento con porzioni abbondanti. Vino ottimo. Dolci fatti in casa.

Perfect amount of garlic and salt!!!!! Amazing authentic food, missing it back in Australia

We had lamb, baked aubergine (10/10) stuffed peppers, buttermilk then beer. Came to just over 3000 let which is about £22 for 2 people ain’t bad. I wasn’t brave enough for intestines or heads but it’s on the menu, if you want it.

I liked it so much that I took a photo with him and the cooks. (Original) O atendimento foi muito bom, a comida estava ótima e o preço muito justo.

Great food, lovely service and CHEAP

Great place to eat, maximum hospitality. Would reccomend :)

Excelent food, place and service. Loved it 👌

We came there (also because of the reviews) and we're sitting inside. We ordered the stuffed eggplant, stuffed pepper and wood-oven lamb. However, the only kitchen tool that was used to finish the dishes was the microwave. Peeping of the microwave was load and clear. Everything was hot but heated up. And of course a lamb is not as juicy when just coming out of the microwave as it would be when coming from a wood stove. I wouldn't go again.

Food was extremely delicious, we were told what is the best at the moment and advised will like : ) Owner was communicating with us with her daughter, really tasty food. We weren't lucky as there was some road work done outside and there was awful smell of drainage. Not a fault of restaurant!

It was really great food, very nice staff and a great price. It’s not right on the main road there, but just off of it down an alley about 10 meters.

Very expensive

This small restaurant is a must stop in Tirana if you want to taste delicious traditional Albanian food...Don’t miss the eggplant and stuffed roasted pepper 😍

Simple but good local food. Great if you like organ meat, they've got plenty of choice for that. There are some stray cats begging for food. They appreciate you giving them some meat, but don't try to stroke them as they are very distrusting and will hiss at you. The waitress speaks English and very friendly. Do not expect enormous portions stuffed with decorations, but simple portions of meat and salads.

Great experience. Very cozy place, great food!

This is a must stop in Tirana for travelers for authentic Albanian cuisine with vegetarian and vegan options. Just steps off the busy road into a peaceful courtyard. Don’t miss the eggplant and stuffed roasted pepper!!!

Well.. not "traditional" but microwaved. We ordered 3 dishes - eggplant , pepper stuffed with rice and "wood oven lamb". All 3 dishes were prepared in a microwave that we heard because we sat inside .. the food did not taste terrible as such but it tasted as the leftovers you heat up at home after a day or two ..or three .. this was not a good experience and I recommend to skip this so called traditional "microwaved" food. The food was dry , especially the lamb that has been just heated up.. meaning extra dry .. disappointing. Note we just noticed that all 5star reviews are from "local guide" .. so don't take those scores seriously.

Great taste of Albania 🇦🇱 Menu contains only traditional dishes and offers enough choices both for vegetarians and meat lovers. We ordered eggplant staffed with veggies, oven cooked lamb and cake with honey and nuts - I loved every bite of it! Drinks menu is rather small, local wine and beer were ok. Service: 4 out 5. We had to find our waitress ourselves, as she wasn’t checking on us. Atmosphere: the place is hidden from the street noise, cats that jump around the terrace make a good company) there are some outside tables, but they might not be ideal as the next building is currently under construction.

(Translated by Google) I found it by chance as a restaurant (we did not know it existed at all) but we are very satisfied..we will come again as soon as we are in Albania (Original) E gjetem rastesisht si restorant (nuk e dinim fare qe ekzistonte) por,kemi mbet shume shume Te kenaqur..do vijm serisht sapo Te Jemi ne shqiperi 😻🥰

We were plesantly surprised by the local traditional food. Thank you for giving us a taste of thr real Albania!

I loved the eggplant and roasted stuffed pepper, ethnic recipes. Can wait to go back and try their many other dishes. Friendly owner. Outdoor seating, peaceful, courtyard off of a busy road. The atmosphere felt cozy and the food was delicious - we tried a variety of dishes including desserts, all were very tasty. Great value too.

Went there twice over a two day stay in Tirana in July 2019; the experience was that good! The atmosphere felt cozy and the food was delicious - we tried a variety of dishes including desserts, all were very tasty. Great value too. And the hostess was very lovely as well and explained the dishes to us. Also great vegetarian options (two of us were veggie). My mum then went on a work trip and took colleagues to Oda - they felt it was a strong value for money opportunity to try traditional food. Would 100% recommend you try!

Find this place on map. Just now test two traditional dishes. Fantastic. Why five star? Well welcome at entrance, good advice for new guest and at the end nice Turkish coffee.

Oh my word this place was perfect! Felt like we were in an Albanian home eating a home cooked meal!! We really wanted to try authentic food and this was the spot!! We had the cottage cheese and peppers dish, the rice balls with spices and for dessert the honey, nuts and egg cake. And we were stuffed for hours!!!! Highly recommend !

The restaurant is just like home, 2 dining rooms 1 home size Kitchen. 1 server. She welcomed us at the entrance. The restaurant has so much atmosphere, food was great. She answered every question. My 5-year-old asked about one of the wall art (tapestry) and the server give her a very much detailed answer. Thank You.

Good food with super nice staff. Really cool Albanian style restaurant. Not that many options of food tho. Try the eggplant and pepper, so good (that I couldn’t even spare time to take a photo of)!!

Nice Albanian food, lots of vegetarian options. Stuffed aubergine is very good and it’s a big portion too. Baked cottage cheese with peppers is nice. Kokorec (lamb intestine) is okay, I personally didn’t like the flavor even though I tried it before. Beer is good

An authentic food, very tasty and unique the lamb meat tastes exactly how it should be tasting if not beyond. The stuffed eggplant is awesome l.

Delicious authentic Albanian restaurant in the heart of Tirana. everything I order, was delicious and portions are big. The setting is nice and traditional

One of my best experiences in Tirana.. In fact, I tried traditional restaurants during my long travel, and this restaurant is one of the few special restaurants.. The owner of the restaurant is very nice.. I will come back here ^_^

We came quite late so had to wait and then when we got seated quite a lot had gone but was our fault! If you want a table outside try and book. Had the fresh salad and lamb cooked in a wood stove, was very tasty and rice was perfect. The raki is very strong but all reasonable prices. Wish I could have tried the aubergine and the spinach pie, next time!

Very good traditional albanina food. The waitress was really nice. Price is average.

Very good traditional food. The youngest waiter was very kind and professional! The lamb was good but the best was the soup and the eggplants

I love their variety of vegetarian dishes! The best restaurant to try Albanian food for vegetarians 😍

Great atmosphere The owner is a beautiful Albanian lady Her daughter speaks English fluently They serve traditional Albanian dishes The food is so so delicious Better call for reservation before you go A must visit when you are in Tirana

Lovely restaurant serving delicious traditional Albanian dishes at affordable prices. Lots of vegetarian options. The aubergine was really tasty, even my husband who usually doesn't like aubergine wolfed it down. The waitress was friendly and helpful (and patient with our many questions) and spoke good English.

Incredible food, outstanding service and hospitality. If you want to check the full review, check out my video. YouTube: Abroad and Hungry

I wan to go there but i never find that restaurant

(Translated by Google) This kind of experience that gives meaning to the trip Abroad. Typical Albanian restaurant. Very good wine list. I will stay there again for sure. (Original) Ce genre d'expériences qui donne un sens au voyage à l'Etranger. Restaurant typique Albanais. Très bonne carte de vins. J'y retournerai à coup sûr.

(Translated by Google) A popular restaurant consisting of a two-room house.. Honestly, the food I didn't like at all was not up to expectations All meat is salt. In general, restaurants in the capital use salt a lot in their meat. And in order to give the restaurant its right, they only have sweet Ayran milk. (Original) مطعم شعبي عبارة عن بيت من غرفتين .. صراحة الاكل ماعجبني ابداً ليسى بمستوى التوقعات واللحم كله ملح . بشكل عام مطاعم الموجودة في العاصمة يستخدمو الملح بكثرة في اللحوم. ولكي نعطي المطعم حقه فقط لديهم لبن عيران حلو .

Bellissima serata posto veramente tipico nascosto e intimo con pietanze veramente tradizionali albanesi

A small restaurant hidden from the main street, everything we tasted was incredible from the soup to the liver&cheese! You must try the eggplant stuffed with vegetables !!! Please forget about the toursits places near the market, walk 5min and enjoy !!

amazing traditional homemade food beautiful cozy vibes feels like the old day and the owner is very friendly as well as the staff.

Amazing restaurant!

This is the best place you can visit when you are hungry,eager to taste albanian food and meet awesome people. Everything was perfect,from the place, food, people working there!! This is must taste! Faleminderit❤️

We ate here a few times because we enjoyed it so much. The restaurant has a beautiful patio outside with trees for shade. I felt welcome as soon as we walked in the first time. The food is traditional and reasonably priced. The service and ambiance are top notch. Highly recommend.

Very cute cats, great garden to sit in, very friendly service and great vegan and plant-based food options for an excellent price. Definitely a must visit if you don’t (want to) eat meat or are vegetarian/ vegan in Tirana.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟THE BEST EXPERIENCE!! ODA is the restaurant that not only prepares some of the best Albanian food but is also a museum so rich of stories The atmosphere inside is so familiar I felt like home, the music, the owner was so kind and explained so many things about history... 💯 MUST GO in Tirana

This was one best experience we had with dinner in Tirana and hands down recommended. This is a one of a kind experience. The experience is as if we are in a front room of someone’s home as if all dishes are made from scratch. Food is amazing and service is impeccable. Prices are as expected. It is a must. But remember it is a very small in size restaurant (literally three tables inside) so plan accordingly.

A great place for traditional Albanian food. I don't know if it's associated with Oda Garden nearby, but the menu is the same. Easy to find what is vegetarian and the staff were very friendly and kind. It was lovely to sit outside in the evening.

Traditional Albanian restaurant in down town Tirana, 10 minutes walking from the main square. Very good food, do try the "japrak" and the lamb. Pastry is great and the owner is very friendly and likes joking a lot :)

Lovely local food, with friendly staff. The live music is great. We got to dance with some local women which was such a good experience. Overall, great food + atmosphere 👌😋😀

Best Albanian food restaurant that we found during our visit to Tirana. It was so good that we actually come back to eat for a second time before to leave. Everything seems to be very Fresh ans traditional from Albanian cuisine. My favorite was definitely the slow cooked lamb, so tender and delicious. Stuffed paprika, aubergines, Cottage sallad, spinach pie, Cheese soup with meatballs, and kolloface. Everything really delicious. I got some local wine which was perfect combination for our food. Staff is super friendly and helpful. They speak good enough English not that much Italian.

This was on our list even before we arrived in Tiranë but sadly the ultimate experience was average at best.. mostly because of the hype over the internet and also probably the owner themself is managing everything and got mixed up with the orders from another table.. anyway, coming to the items we ordered.. 1. the spinach pie (lakror) : this was huge but kinda bland and spinach flavours were overdone 2. Fergese: this was very good and pumped up our expectations and even the quantity was awesome 3. Tave dheu: bland for our taste. Portion size was satisfactory Just a small tip: nobody tells you but if you order Raki, the local wine, it comes without mixer and is very very strong. We were told by the staff that it shouldn’t be diluted and ended up asking for 2 drinks and it was so strong that we barely sipped. He, however, charged us for both. PS: We later Googled and understood that Raki can be diluted.

This lovely place and unique atmosphere makes me feel like in the coziest home. Food was amazing, but the waiter Herti stole my heart, so helpful, kind and professional. Definitely recommended this place:)

I guess overall it was the best place we had visited in Albania, we found it from bloggers and one of my friend make the reservation for Saturday night where there was a queue once we finish our meal. Everything was so tastefrul and people are kind and very well speaking English, traditional guys singing inside the restaurant... also price was not expensive

Very good atmosphere with live traditional music. We had kolloface and lamb cooked in wood oven. Kolloface was very tasty - a good portion and a great combination of meat, rice and eggs to connect it all in a "quiche like" recipe. The lamb meat was perfectly cooked. We wouldn't even need a knife to cut it, as it was very soft. We also had a soup with vegetables and rice. It was good. For dessert we had shendetlie. We recommend it if you like nuts. Staff is very kind, even if the place is crowded. Would definitely come back. Make sure you get there early to guarantee a table.

If in Tirana, you shouldn't miss this restaurant. Great food, friendly servers (Sergio was great and funny), great ambience and great live music. I recommend lamb, and for vegetarians the spinach pie and stuffed eggplant. The Albanian red wine they serve is very good, too.

The traditional house decorated with old photo creates a nastagia vibe. Food is great. We try the lamb cooked in the traditional wooden stove. The meat is soon tender, but a little bit too fat for me. Eggplant stuffed with veg and herbal is must-try. Grilled veg is simple though, we love it's coal fired flavor. It turns out the Kasi is a kind of liquor, not for me. Staff is so kind. Highly recommend.

Very nice atmosphere and very friendly staff. The appetizers were great and it was crowded for a Monday. Overall good experience.
