Spent the night on the toilet, it was coming out from both ends.

Don't put flys in the food.
Don't get people sick from eating the food.
If the food has gone bad don't feed it to people.
French waitresses could take a class in rudeness from this waitress.

Good food, great value

Hidden gem a few blocks in from the beach. Really tasty food and a great value. We had the potato stew and the stuffed peppers. Both dishes were very fresh, and the portions were perfectly sized. Service was unbelievably fast. Our food arrived at our table within 5 minutes of ordering it.

Pros: Dinner for 2 just over 1000 lek (10€), Great service, Good food

Wirklich gutes traditionelles Albanische Essen

Wir haben hervorragend Albanisch gegessen. Wir hatten die Gedüllten Paprika und Auberginen, Kartoffeleintopf und Okraeintopf. Dazu gab es leckeres Weißbrot. Die Preise sind ebenfalls fantastisch! Nur zu empfehlen. Die Geschwindigkeit in der das Essen kommt ist auch hervorragend!

Good option for simple Albanian dining

A good choice for simple Albanian food, incl. various vegan options, stewed potatoes, beans, okra & peas, plus the usual stuffed pepper or aubergine. Friendly and economical, family run restaurant.

Good vegan choices

Came for dinner, via Happy Cow reviews. Has several vegetarian/vegan choices. We got a salad, potatoes, stuffed peppers and bean stew. We were hoping for giant beans, but they were navy bean sized (similar to Campbell's bean and bacon soup, without the bacon). I make nearly the same thing at home, so we were OK with that. The stuffed peppers were pretty good, as we're the potatoes. We like that the salad was not pre-salted, like a lot we have had in the Balkans.
The food was pre-cooked, so it came out really fast. It still tasted fresh, not like it had been sitting out too long.
Bright cafeteria style atmosphere. Staff spoke good English, was helping picking vegan dishes.

Pros: Fast service, Multiple choices, Reasonable price

Cons: Pre-cooked food (but was good), Bright lights, not intimate setting

Very good stuffed pepper

Same vegan options as Always (marked as vegetarian, we asked If its vegan). One of the best stuffed peppers I had in Albania (and i had many 😅), served with nice, fresh bread.

Pros: Tasty traditional food, friendly staff

Simple local place with veggie options

The stuffed aubergines were delicious and green salad was tasty enough too. The okra was overcooked for my liking making it quite slimey. Otherwise happy with our meal, service and veggie options!

some good vegan choices

They have a variety of vegan stews. The ones I tried tasted very good.
Also you get some bread as appetizers.
The filled pepper was also nice. The rice was a little crispy - i liked it.

Pros: a few vegan choices , service was quick

Kulinarisches Highlight

Das patellxhan i mbushur (gefüllte Aubergine) hat uns extrem gut geschmeckt. Vorab gab es vom Haus Brot und wir haben zusätzlich Salat bestellt.
Alles war frisch, alle waren freundlich und Preis-Leistung war top!

Pros: Traditionelles essen, Frisch

One of few with genuine vegan options

The restaurant is pretty laid back. They have a number of vegan options available, but it's worth asking on the day. Many dishes are available to see before you decide as the kitchen is open. Good quality, good value. Stuffed Aubergine and stuffed Peppers are good (but these are pretty much the only vegan dish you will find anywhere so if they have something else go for that).

Pros: Service is friendly, They "understand"what vegan means, Happy to adapt if they can

Homemade food

Very authentic, cheap and good food. I had vegetable soup and stuffed peppers and it was really good. The bread they serve with the soup was very plain and definitely not homemade. It was really cheap and the quantity was enough to satisfy even my hungry teenagers (they did not have vegan dishes). There were a lot of local people which I usually see as a sign of good quality. Definitely worth a visit.

Pros: Homemade food, Cheap prices , Friendly service

Cons: Boring bread

Nice traditional food

We had stuffed eggplants and peppers, with the beans. It was really good, simple traditional food. It’s also very cheap and the house wine was really good as well for only 200 LEK.

Pros: Great taste, Friendly staff, Traditional and good price

Okay

We tried stuffed eggplants, white rice, okra stew and beans. Everything was okay, also the price, but very soupy and slimy, a consistency that I really don't like.

Really enjoyed!

Very cool to try some Albanian food! Tried a selection of things people on HappyCow had mentioned between us. Liked it a lot! The food tasted like home-cooked. It was simple but flavoursome. I really liked my beans 🫘

Good range of vegan options

My husband and I ate here multiple times while in Saranda. Vegan food is difficult to find in Albania, and this place has a number of options suitable for vegans. Our favourite was the 'beans' listed on the menu, which was a white bean soup. Green beans and stuffed peppers also good, but quite oily. A range of vegan simple salads too. Food is home-cooked style food, not fancy, but decent prices and quick service.

Quite oily

We got okra and potatoes as well as eggplants. Taste was ok..nothing amazing, but couldn't say bad either. That being said, my husband got a very upset tummy after that and was rushing to the toilet. He does have a sensitive stomach with oil though. I was fine however🤷‍♂️

Fast vegan food

A good place to go and eat something vegan. The dishes are prepared already behind the counter, look at the vegetarian section and salads. About 7 dishes to choose from, good enough. Recommend the stuffed eggplants.

Pasable, affordable, few vegan options.

Ate here twice during my time in Saranda. The first time I ordered the stuffed peppers, potato stew and mixed salad. I was pleasantly surprised, i mean it wasn't amazing, but it was alright.

The second time I was way less impressed, ordered the stuffed eggplants and green bean stew. The eggplants were incredibly oily and the green bean stew was soggy and lacking flavour. I ended up with terrible diahorea that night too. Not sure if it was related to the food, but it's the only thing I can relate it too.

Pros: Has vegan options , Affordable , Decent portions

Cons: Can get very busy , Not a great deal of vegan options , Gave me diahorea.
