Çka Ka Qëllue - New York, New York

Wooow!!! In NYC for my birthday and a friend recommended this place. It's amazing! Love the atmosphere, the decoration of the restaurant takes you to Albania. Our server was great, she helps us with our questions and explained menu items. Her recommendations were the best!!
This will be a place I will come back and recommend to everyone.

Amazing place. Food was super-authentic and tasty, service was great, and the atmosphere is warm and cosy.

Everything we had was excellent. In terms of appetizers, the spreads were fresh and perfectly executed, with bread that was straight out of the oven and delicious; the dumplings were tasty; the baked cheese was a little salty but also very good. For main courses we had the lamb with rice and egg, liver with paprika, qebapa, and mixed grill. They were all fantastic — my personal favorite was the liver.

And to close, baklava and Albanian coffee were both excellent!

What a great find, and will come back soon!

Absolutely loved it! The food was incredible—rich in flavor and so delicious, I was blown away! As someone from Georgia, Eastern Europe, I had no idea Albania had such an amazing cuisine. The authentic interior added to the whole experience, and the service was excellent. A delightful and unexpected discovery!

The pita & dip and the traditional mixed grill platter were delicious. Would probably skip the mixed meat combination next time - expensive and less flavorful.

Pepper dip was good but portion kind of small, for more than 2 people I’d recommend getting multiple dips.

Dumplings were interesting and the lamb clay pot was unique but didn’t fit our particular preference.

Both the baklava and trilece were delicious.

A cozy, nook-like dining space with warm, attentive service. The food was enjoyable overall, though the flavors tended to be on the milder side. The Sausage Dip and Fli were lightly flavored, while Qofte (Albanian meatballs), the liver in the Tava Dheut, and the lamb in the Tava Kosi were both nicely seasoned. A pleasant experience overall.

Tengo que comenzar diciendo que soy vegetariana por lo que no disfrute tanto los platos insignia del lugar, pero a pesar de la poca oferta para los que no comemos carne, encontré algo que me gustó, además de las entradas que ayuda con las opciones. El lugar es precioso y muy acogedor, tiende a ser un poco alta la música y el hablar con los amigos no es tanto el plan acá, pero es sin duda un lugar demasiado interesante para visitar y disfrutar. El resto de las personas en la mesa estaban felices con sus opciones con cordero 🙂 Los cocteles son increíbles ✨.

This is a cool place to eat, and it's larger than it seems at first because there are a couple of other small dining rooms behind the front one. I used the bathroom twice just to look at other rooms--very tastefully done. One of the restaurant highlights for our seven day trip there in May/June.

So rare to find an Albanian place in the city! The grilled meat plate with Qebapa and Qofte was sooo good! Both homey and unique at the same time. The decor throughout was also super cozy and added to the ambiance!
