    Delightful, flavorful, unique, thank you! 😍 The fresh ingredients and flavor combinations were fantastic! I am grateful that you do offer chicken, however, the variety of other options available could satisfy any pallette. 💖 We had the truly amazing sweet potato and ginger soup, the Chiqra in Hell Wrap (You will have to ask them about the name, it's a great story!) And the Italian Burger with chicken breast substituted. The manager informed us that you can add or subtract any ingredient and that even the bread is made there fresh every day. I have previously had the peanut butter and apricot jam toast and it was amazing as well! I can't wait to go again! 🥰

    I had an avo 1 buddha bowl salad with avocado and it was very tasty. Loved the sauce. Not dry at all 🥑 Really good salad. Shame the restaurant is not 100% vegan any more as I'm vegan and always support vegan restaurants. Wish more people were enjoying vegan meals in Tirana.

    Be aware that credit cards are not accepted- it is cash only. The carrot soup we had was delicious and the vegetable soup was good. The Mexican Buddha bowl and the Superbowl Buddha bowl were okay but not outstanding (not as good as most Buddha bowls we've had). They also should have had more than the tiny bit of quinoa that they contained.

    Reall really good food! 🙌🏼 Super quality, almost everything vegan or can be veganized. I took the falafel wrap for brunch. Ordered without cheese. Juices are fresh made and well balanced in taste. Every time again! ☺️👍🏼

    I love this place. They have a great range of vegan and vegetarian options. From different types of avocado toast, to wraps, to delicious salad bowels. They also do amazing smoothies. The service is also great, and they are flexible if you want to add or remove things from your meal!

    As previous review noted, this spot now shares a place with another bar/restaurant. Sadly there was smoking inside and had to eat on a low table. The ambience just isn't there. I doubt I will return unless they move to back their original location.

    Sweet potato and ginger soup...something in Hell wrap made with chicken, and the Italian burger made with chicken. Blown away!! Fresh, totally made from scratch on premises. Service was great. Will def return!! The playlist wasn't quite to this old lady's taste, using the N, S, and F words, but the manager listened to us and it changed! Wishing this green place every success!

    Good portion and tasty falafels! The dressing is more sour than savory, but I liked it. If I had stayed in Tirana longer, I would have tried the other bowls as well.

    Absolutely loved the plant-based food that was served. Think it says a lot about a place and how future proof they are when they have multiple vegan options on the menu. Great inititative that has to be mentioned and applauded, well done! Very friendly staff as well. They were really kind to us. Would highly recommend to visit the place when in the city. You won’t be left disappointed, that much is for sure!

    Moved location and works out of Bocconcino Lounge. Took a walk around the block as no indication in the outside. Unfortunately, half of the guests inside were smoking, we left without ordering. Expectations conflicted with reality. Sorry but eating indoors with smokers around is a no go for me. :s

    Menu with several good options for vegetarians. Big portions. Fresh taste. Great price for the quality. The staff was really friendly - I asked to change one ingredient on the salad and they were very accommodating to it. Will be back for sure!

    Very delicious food with an excellent service. The waiter helped us choose our order with his very good English. They also allow you to customize any of the meals on the menu based on your needs (vegan/vegetarian). The place also offer chicken and salmon additions. We tried two different soups - tomato and classic, a soup made of mix of vegetables which reminded me of lentil soup. Both of them were amazing. The hamburgers and wraps were also really nice. Will definitely go back whenever it is possible.

    We visited for the vegetarian options and were not disappointed! Many vegetarian and healthy items on the menu. We went for avocado toast and a salad which also included avocado slices. Nicely sized portions at fair prices. Ambiance is just okay, but service was great.

    The best vegan food you'll find in tirana. Very yummy dishes made with a lot of intention. Very nice waiter. It's a little confusing that it is called a vegan/vegetarian place when multiple dishes have meat, but I understand that there may not be enough of a market for a solely vegetarian place. Hopefully in the future they can go full vegan 😁 also, the portion sizes could be bigger.

  • 5/5 Yeri 7 months ago on Google
    The food was excellent, any option in the menu offers a special taste in every bite. We tried the bowls and the falafel wrap and didn't leave anything behind even though the bowls were filling. The place was really clean and the server was very friendly. Prices were good considering also the location and quality. I would only suggest to add more decorations for the inside area in the future. Will come back :)

    Quick service, friendly waiter/cook and fresh incredients. I had the avocado toast caprese and the exotic elixier smoothie. The only thing one could complain about is the size of the toast. Could be bigger. Anyway, highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Steven van D. 1 year ago on Google
    Had some amazing vegan burgers here (okay to be fair, the bun was vegetarian). Service is very friendly, prices are very reasonable and taste was great! Also the bowl was good. And everything “home”-made

    Lovely place. Lots of vegan and vegetarian options. Tasty food and healthy juices. The owner lady is super sweet.

  • 2/5 Julie E. 1 year ago on Google
    Very bad experience with the service, the waitress couldn't understand the bowl we ordered even when we were pointing the dishes we wanted (fist time it happened in Albania as in other restaurants people understood us easily). She served my wrap and came back asking us again what was the other bowl instead of asking us straight after the order. Then when the bowl arrived, we discovered there was no spinach, no pepper very few tomatoes and just mainly salad leaf. For the price too bad plus the waitress told us finally they didn't have any spinach that day and argued everything else was there. We felt like we were liars which is not a good experience. The place is not even pretty, however my wrap was good though. I was happy to go there initially but was very disappointed by the experience. I don't recommend that place. In response to the owner, the food was good but the service was not. We tried to communicate in German as well. End of the story.

  • 4/5 J 6 months ago on Google
    I tried one of the wraps and one of the bowls as well as two different juices. The juices were both delicious and also the wrap was good. I was a bit disappointed by the bowl (Avocado Bowl) as there was almost just mixed leaves salad in it and just a small amount of the ingredients as stated in the menu. Therefore the bowl has been too pricy for what you get.

  • 5/5 Frenki T. 6 months ago on Google
    It was my first time at Gjelber tonight. The food was amazing and very fresh. The vibe was so good and that place looked so familiar. Extra points to the woman that served us the food: So lovely and friendly. A solid 10/10! Don't miss this place if you are in Tirana.

  • 5/5 Shannon M. 8 months ago on Google
    The food here is fantastic. Lots of healthy options to choose from. We got wraps and the Buddha bowl and everyone loved their meal. We also tried the fresh juice & it was amazing. Highly recommend for feel good meal. Also, it is air conditioned inside.

  • 5/5 Gabriel S. 8 months ago on Google
    Amazing. The food quality and portions are incredible, so so yummy and healthy. The owner—who took the time to talk to us about his vision—really nailed it: he wanted to make healthy food yummy, and he sure did. We had dinner here and lunch the next day. The bowls are amazing. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Andrew S. 5 years ago on Google
    The first and only plant-based unit in Albania. The food is delicious and cheaper than any other healthy places. Service needs a little improvement, but the overall experience for me as a vegan was beyond expetations. If i ever come back i already know where i'll be gettin my nutrients from :)

    I don’t get why google show this as a vegetarian restaurant since most of its dishes have chicken ... I ordered a vegan pasta and it was definitely the tasteless pasta I have ever had. I give two stars because the service was nice, unfortunately not the food
