What a happy surprise to find this unique place tucked up in a business park. Not knowing much about Albanian food, I had a wonderful chat with staff who couldn't have been more friendly and welcoming. The food was all delicious (especially some of the dishes mentioned by other reviewers), and DO NOT pass up the Truffle Grilled Cheese. My only disappointment is that they're not open in the evenings. Maybe just one, please?? My Foreign Food group would LOVE it!
Such a great place! The owners are so sweet and the food never disappoints! Today I ordered the Grilled Chicken salad for the first time and it was so good!
Food is very tasty, service very professional and friendly. Ambience is simple and very welcoming. Thank you for hard work.
Excellent food and service. Great choice to try fresh Balkan food from Kosovo/Albania.
Really nice homely feeling inside the cafe. Food was excellent. Learned that they also provide truffle based products. The owner's eldest son took the onus of cooking and entertaining me while I devoured the Qebapa. Learned that the name means Earth/Land in Albanian. Overall an awesome experince for a random try in this cafe. Their sausages (very beefy and greasy) paired well with the bread which was grilled in the same oil that the sausage was cooked in. The accompanying thick yogurt and slaw paired really well together. Definitely looking forward to trying their Borek the next time.
This is a great Albanian restaurant with quality ingredients, excellent service, and the best Spinach and Onion Borek and Qebapa (grilled homemade beef sausages) that's served on homemade pitalka bread. There's something to be said of going to a wonderful 'mom & pop" shop where the cooks are from Albania. I highly recommend you trying this place out. Simply delicious.
A hidden gem in the Scottsdale Airpark! It was my first time trying Albanian food and I loved it. The owner is super friendly and welcoming and the food is delicious.. The qebapa sausage sandwich is out of this world and the cappuccino is expertly made. Highly recommended!
Tried this place while on a business trip to Scottsdale from Chicago. Amazing food and great service! Ask the owner and staff for a recommendation on the traditional Albanian food options.
Excellent little mom and pop cafe that serves up delicious Albanian food. Very friendly, helpful staff to help you make your choice if it's your first time eating there. Food was excellent. You can tell they use quality ingredients and care about what they serve. If you've never been, definitely come by and check it out.
Nestled in a business park, near Scottsdale Quarter, this Albanian Cafe is a gem! The food is so unique and delicious but the owner, Millot and his son Dylan are wonderfully friendly, helpful and professional. For the food, the menu is limited but what we had was great. The grilled gruyere cheese was smothered with cremini shrooms, arugula and a very tasty truffle carpaccio. We then shared feta/cottage cheese burek (which was similar to a cheese blintze but in a delicious flaky dough and spinach/green onion burek (spanekopedia like). Both with a side of homemade yogurt. So so good. My friend needed the entire Albanian experience so we shared coconut ball bombing and honey medallion cookie. Simple great and high in calories! Will definitely be going back for bfast and the qebapa qofte which is grilled ground beef sausage in the most delicious looking bread! Until next time...
