Taverna Amazona

Restaurant

👍👍 This is clearly a famous place asking the locals. I believe we were the only tourists here which made it even better! We ordered 1kg of lamb chops, grilled. 1/2kg of lamb chops roasted, 2 allergies, 2 large beers and the bill was less than 25euros! The food was spot on amazing! The grilled lamb chop... People often mention good, delicious, local, Great,

The grilled lamb chops were so tasty and flavorful! The portions are huge and we didn't finish half of the food we ordered! The place was packed but yet the staff were very nice, spoke fluent English and shared excellent recommendations with us. This restaurant is highly recommend!

    It's a busy but very smokey place with a great vibe. Cheap food and beer and large portions. There was a huge party group so service was curt but efficient. They forgot my bread but I was too full to eat it anyway with their large portions. I'll be back.

    It’s a very good place to try some local food. It’s not a fancy place. It’s cheap, practical, simple but cozy and the food is amazing. Chicken shishkebab was very delicious. Also qofte and tirokafteri were good. The price is not so expensive.

    Place mostly for locals - but it is rather an advantage! This is a meat tavern with affordable prices, good BBQ and beer. Dishes are like homemade! Serving is fast. We got these nice boots for drinking our beer 🍻😁

    One of the best meals I had in Albania and also the cheapest per litre of wine. The kofte were absolutely amazing, better than any I've had before and the rest of the food was top notch. If you find yourself over this way when in Tirana then definitely check out this hidden gem.

    Every mouthful was a delight. The bread was warm and crusty, the pork and the chicken wings were done over charcoal and tasted fabulous and came with a generous serving of lemon. House wine was delicious and it was all very good value and spotlessly clean

    My wife and I had dinner here last night after walking the streets of Tiranna for hours and I must say, we were very happy we found this place! Great food which was affordable and although the waiters didn't understand much english, they were very helpful and extremely quick!

    Amazing local food one of the best so far! Don’t speak much English but are very keen to help, the son even walked us to the atm when we asked if they accepted cash on only when we asked for a table.

  • 5/5 Michel T. 10 months ago on Google
    Their rotisserie chicken is fire. Best chicken in tirana, as far as I can tell. Prices are super reasonable. 600 lek for a whole chicken.

    Just had lunch at Tavernetta Amazona and it was fabulous. We are visiting from the United States and unfamiliar with the area - we were looking for this exact type of restaurant for lunch. The food was delicious - arugula salad, chicken kabobs, olives, delicious bread (wine also). Great service and good food!!!

    Not possible to pay with the card. The personnel advise to use the ATM around the corner and pay the ATM commission. They accept payment in Euro but refuse to give you change in Euro

    Best food we’ve had during our week long stay in Albania. Simply awesome, try the meatballs and the pork shish kebab, saganaki and tirokafteri. Can’t wait to return for dinner!

  • 5/5 Bojana D. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent food, different types of meat, very tasteful. The prices are ok, helpful waiters. There is no sweets, but after their portions there is no room for more :)

    So local that is not even on google maps. Food is cheap, in line with local places for local. The meat is delicious. Qofte (kind of meatball of mince meat coming in a long shape that reminds a sausage without the skin, as the turkish Köfte) are a must try. Albanian cuisine is a mix of Mediterranean and Turkish cousine. Absolutely delicious. The accept even euros.

👍👍 🌇 Artigiano is a very beautiful and atmospheric place. There is plenty of space inside and on the summer terrace. There are a lot of beautiful plants in the courtyard of the cafe. 🍕 Menu is varied, here you will find appetizers, salads, soups, and pastas, but we came specifically for pizza. Pizza...
