Reviews
The food is good and the staff is friendly. The beer was cold & is served in frosted mugs. Pretty quiet place and the atmosphere is good. The portions are plentiful. The only negative comment is the naan type bread was average
We had a wonderful time at this Turkish restaurant celebrating my aunt’s birthday. When I asked if they had a bottle of champagne for the birthday girl, they provided it without any problem, which was such a lovely gesture. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, and the place itself had a great atmosphere. Delicious food and a fantastic experience overall — highly recommended!
Located on the road just behind the beach. It's a huge Turkish restaurant with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. It was empty when I went for lunch during the week. There is a lot of options on the menu. I had the mixed grill plate that comes with beef lamb Adana kebab, chicken shish, chicken wings, beef meatballs, french fries, rice and vegetables. It tasted really nice, with plenty of flavours. The only thing is that I thought the serving size of meats was quite small relative to the 1900 lek price. Maybe it's just me, but I didn't leave feeling full. I've had a meat plates in Durres for similar price and quality and had a much larger serving size of meats.
The most beautiful and best restaurant I have ever seen and visited. Such a warm and inviting environment. Halil is the best customer representative ever — such a humble and kind owner. He personally selected and prepared our entire menu as I requested, making my birthday extra special. I highly recommend him for whatever he can do to make your experience unforgettable. Mustafa, the other CSA, was also incredibly humble and polite. People come and go in restaurants, but within a short time, they made us feel like we’ve known them for ages. I will literally keep these precious memories with me forever. If I ever come back to Albania, I will definitely visit Otantik Albania just to meet Halil and Mustafa again, and to enjoy their top-class food and hospitality. Infinity stars ⭐️ and ratings! ❤️❤️
This is by far the best Arabic food we have had in Albania. Pretty much everything we tried was amazing. The kafta was especially delicious. We had it both in bread and baked, and also tried the kafta on its own, and every version was excellent. The baba ghanoush was really good too, with almost a slight tzatziki-like freshness to it that made it even better. The fajitas were also very good. The service was also on point. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience enjoyable. The overall ambiance of the restaurant was great as well. It felt welcoming, comfortable, and like a place you actually want to sit and enjoy your meal. Between the food, service, and atmosphere, this place really stood out. We will definitely be coming back.
