Restaurant Health food restaurant

🫤 In my optimism, I shrugged off the negative reviews. Probably because I really want to see healthy food places be successful in Albania. Their hours state they close at 1830. However, you cannot place an order for a salad at 1740 because it’s too close to closing. You also must be done eating at 180... People often mention healthy, vegan, salad, Tirana, nice, menu, burger, spicy, good, great,

    OBSESSED 🤩 the menu is massive and clearly marked by veg and omni with pictures. Prices are insane especially in relation to the portion. Everything taste super fresh. This same meal would’ve been 2x the cost in America. Smoothies and bowls look amazing too!

    In my optimism, I shrugged off the negative reviews. Probably because I really want to see healthy food places be successful in Albania. Their hours state they close at 1830. However, you cannot place an order for a salad at 1740 because it’s too close to closing. You also must be done eating at 1800 because per the employee they clean from 1800-1830. I suggested they should update their hours then and say they close at 1800. They said it wasn’t their problem. I ended up getting a Duplex Day sandwich & an Antioxidant Hero. The bun on the sandwich was extremely sweet which took over the taste of the actual food between the buns. The juice was bland and tasted water down but the employee assured me it was just the juice from the apple. I’m not sure what they’re juicing methods are but after owning a raw juice store for 7 years I will tell you that this wasn’t hitting the mark. Not only was this meal unsatisfying in taste and didn’t satiate but it was VERY over priced for Tirana. To keep things in perspective, this morning I had a cucumber, tomato, cheese & egg sandwich on a fresh baguette and a slice of their cheese byrek for a TOTAL price of 130 ALL and it kept me for 12 hours. My meal at Green and Protein was 7.5x more and still left me hungry and wanting more.

    Delicious, healthy, and filling. I love their smoked salmon salad and freshly squeezed orange juice. Price is reasonable We ate here everyday while we were in Tirana👌 Sadly we were not accommodated on our last day because we showed up at 10:35am. We were told that they're not ready yet.

    Until now the best place to eat healthy and delicious at the same time in Albania. Perfectly located in one of the most known areas in Tirana so it's easily accesible. Totally reccomend if you are a controlled food freak like me 👍

    I always take one specific product, it’s very tasty however you have to pay almost half of the product’s price for the delivery, 240 leke! New policy apparently with the new management (changed probably for the 1000th time). Uggh, I like their products but hate their management and absurd policies.

    It makes me sad to see one of my favorite dining places go downhill as this place has. A few months ago every dish was perfect. Today we received a sandwich with old dry bun and the Pink Vibe was an old blended banana with dry fruit. I wish they would replace the menus also. They are so worn and frayed around the edges I know they can’t be wiped down very efficiently anymore. I felt uncomfortable handling the menu.

    Great selection of healthy breakfasts and smoothies. I had a chia seed bowl with peanut butter, sliced banana, nuts, and seeds which I would recommend! They didn't have coffee on the menu but they do serve it. Good location and a nice spot for people watching out of the sun!

    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!

    I’m visiting from America and was thrilled when I found this place. A great spot to go to for people who don’t enjoy the heavily focused meat meals that most other restaurants offer! The prices are great for the quality and ingredients. The veggie burger is huge. The juices are delicious. I will keep going here until I return home.

    Very disappointed in the tofu salad, almost made me sad how bad it was :( the burger was supposed to be spicy, but it was not. Albanians do not eat spicy at all. On the other hand, the veggie patty salad was super good... For how big the portions are, the prices are pretty damn good, and the service is nice too.

    It is a nice place. The staff is nice and the location very good. The menu is diverse. It may take up to 30min to get your order esp if it is a bowl. I ordered wabi sabi and it was delicious but as I was eating it felt like I had a stone in my mouth. I think they should wash their salads better. I may give it a second chance wraps and burgers seem nice

    Honestly, don’t waste your time. I went back here countless times because it was close against my own frustration becuase I Vegan is limited in Tirana but I finally just stopped. Between being out of items, the flavors being wildly inconsistent, I’m convinced this a chain resultant for money laundering. There’s been two different owners I believe at this point and they’ve raised prices and offered less food. A total RACKETT. I noticed they have several locations, further confirming my suspicions that this place is major SUS. Tbh e staff is always friendly though. If you’re desperate then maybe go. But alas just close the doors already and save us all the headache.

    I tried the vegan burger and it was delicious and filling. Maybe slightly too much onion, but that's just a small thing. I wish I had more time to try other vegan options on the menu. My only complaint was there wasn't really a choice of hot drinks. It said vegan machiato was available on the board menu, but when I ordered it, they didn't have the soy milk to make it.

    Meh.. the breakfast bowls sound more exciting than they are. Mine was incredibly bland and not containing much other than chia seeds and milk. Disappointing, but maybe other things taste better.

  • 5/5 Klajdi P. 3 years ago on Google
    Fantastik! Haven't tried any similar places in Tirana but I don't need to, this place is perfect

  • 3/5 Will H. 9 months ago on Google
    Came in a little after noon and they said their rice wouldn’t be ready for at least an hour, which made all of their salads unavailable. The wrap I had was okay, a bit bland and dry. Prices are reasonable.

    I don’t eat rice so after asking if they can leave it out (they couldn’t) I chose a bowl without rice. There were supposed to be some noodles in it but they ran out of it so I asked to simply put more lettuce and specifically please no rice. Guess what I found in my bowl when I wanted to eat it at home .. Rice. Check your order, folks.

  • 5/5 Pierre C. 3 years ago on Google
    Great! Healthy choices and very flavorful. Food is served quickly. The place is small and it is popular during lunch time, keep that in mind if you want to dine in.

  • 5/5 Giulia F. 3 years ago on Google
    The food is delicious, our best meal in Tirana. The bowls were rich and tasty. The vegan burger is really good. All the ingredients were high quality. The place is nice and staff very friendly. We will certainly come back.

  • 1/5 Yousef A. 3 years ago on Google
    Wow, the dishonesty is appalling. We are strictly vegan and mentioned this fact several times when we ordered the vegan hot chocolate. My partner is lactose intolerant, before you ask "Are you sure they put dairy milk?" They made our last night in Tirana absolutely miserable and my partner became violently ill. Please train your staff to respect dietary restrictions, especially if you claim to be vegan friendly.

    Wonderful healthy place to eat! The employees are super helpful and the food is worth it.

  • 5/5 Ingrid X. 2 years ago on Google
    I think green & protein is the only place where vegetarian doesn’t mean boring. I haven’t been there in a while and I was pleased to see that there was a new menu. But I was even happier to see that they’ve updated and improved some of their classics. Great work and thank you for offering so many healthy choices.

  • 5/5 Patric F. 2 years ago on Google
    Went there for breakfast and ended up buying two breakfasts and a shake! So much passion goes into their food and you can definitely taste it. I can't recommend this place enough.

  • 1/5 Lorena K. 2 years ago on Google
    Green & Protein in Tirana: The worst place for delivery, the delivery guys continuously steal from you. I have been ordering for myself and friends every day for six months in a row and won't do it ever again. I reported the case, and instead of solving the issue, the manager kept protecting 'thieves.' We started to pay 30 ALL for delivery, and after the amount was 50 ALL, and on Saturday, I was charged 200 ALL. Those amounts are not included in the fiscal bill, and the clients are not informed before ordering. Sorrowful story with Green & Protein! Please be careful!

  • 5/5 Joie L. 2 years ago on Google
    Food tasted great (clean and healthy) with nice zingy flavours in the carrot/cabbage salad and dressings. Reasonably priced. Pictured is spicy soul (tuna burger) and wasa abi (carrot and lentil patty salad bowl)

  • 4/5 Crazy X. 3 years ago on Google
    The tofu salad was disappointingly bad, the burger was not spicy at all, like not at all. The other salad was tasty i forgot the name, the service is nice and the place itself is really nice, for the portions they serve the price is fair, the street is really loud where the place is located, I guess we had a day where people would rev their engines just in front of the place. I'd come again just because my salad was tasty but my friend's was tofu*cking bad. Nevertheless give this place a chance and don't eat a spicy burger or just bring something spicy with you if you want it spicy cuz it won't be spicy at all, like zero, none, non-existent, I started guessing this and it may be just that people in albania don't eat spicy food?

    Great healthy food for everybody and a pleasant atmosphere!

  • 5/5 Patrick van der L. 2 years ago on Google
    Very happy to have found this place while in Tirana. It has a great selection of vegan food which is quite uncommon in the Balkan. The bowl and smoothie were really tasty.

  • 2/5 Yara 2 years ago on Google
    The salad was good I liked the chicken, the egg was overcooked. Smoothie bowl was really disappointing i ordered raspberry sunshine and it tasted like bananas.

  • 5/5 Alex U. 3 years ago on Google
    A great breakfast and lunch place with plenty of vegan wraps and burgers, bowls, smoothies and great coffee. Friendly staff and decent prices. Would Definitely recommend as a more conscious food option!

    Food is DELICIOUS 🤤 too many options for different tastes. Service wasn’t very good or friendly. Very arrogant behavior from one of the guys. ⭐️
