My husband and I really enjoyed our dinner here! The atmosphere is cozy and the service makes you feel like you're a guest in someone's home. It was our first time eating Albanian food, and the mixed grill platter, the sesame baked cheese and the Fasule were standouts for us! We can't wait for our next time at Çka Ka Qellue.

It was interesting trying Albanian cuisine for the first time. The food was a bit salty for my taste but generally good. What made it a poor experience was how hot and stuffy it felt inside. We thought the whole restaurant was like that until I walked through the other rooms on my way to the restroom. I guess we just got unlucky with our seat. It was terrible eating piping hot food while sweat was dripping down our face like in a sauna.
