My brother and I came for brunch and were immediately sat down, I had the 5 piece Qofte meal and my brother ordered the double burger, there was a slight misunderstanding and he received a single burger, but despite that he devoured it and thought that it was delicious, the patty was definitely was well seasoned and made with care, my Qoftes were also a treat for my palate the slaw and salad were great complimentary items and the bread was warm, dense, yet pillowy the meals were also well priced. All in all a great place to come dine, we will definitely be back to try more.

I saw their ad on FBM and thought I'd go and check it out. My mind is open for different ethnic cuisine and this is located near International Ave in the Forest Lawn Dover area. I didn't know what to order. So, I asked the owner what he would recommend. The owner was very nice and asked if I want spicy or not. I like spicy and my wife like it not so hot. I forgot to take a photo of the menu. So, I'll describe what we had. So, my wife had the meal that looked like veal cutlet but it had cheese inside. It was delicious! I had the spicy nugget meat meal. The spiciness kicks in at around 30 seconds. These are served with the Albanian bread samun. It was good - we both enjoyed our meals. This time, I just wanted to try something different that I've never tried before and my wife and I were quite pleased. I'm going back for the egg cheeseburger next time as that looks so mouth watering!Definitely support the local business like this. Businesses like this bring diversity and culture to Calgary.Parking: There's parking directly in front of the store or in the parking lot as it is in a mall area.Wheelchair accessibility: Front door is level with sidewalk and easily get through the front door. Lots of space in the dining area.

This place has a great Mediterranean food. All the foods we tried (especially burgers and qofta) were great and service is incredible. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to try new cuisine.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, my family and I noticed that there were no other customers present. Although the owner was friendly, we were extremely disappointed with the food. The kebabs and sausage lacked the authentic Albanian taste that we were expecting, and the flavor was unappealing and tasteless. In fact, we were unable to finish our meals as a result so we just paid and left.To add to our disappointment, the Greek salad that we ordered was a poor representation of the dish, as it was made with Kraft coleslaw dressing and did not resemble or taste like a traditional Greek salad in any way. Overall, we were highly disappointed with the food and service, especially since the restaurant was supposed to represent the Albanian cuisine.We regret leaving a negative review, but we feel that it is important to be honest about our experience. The food and service were both subpar, and the owner's wife did not seem particularly friendly at all.We believe that in order to improve, the owner should use a more authentic recipe from Kosova/Albania for the kebabs and sausage. Without this change, we do not think that the restaurant will be successful in the long term.We would not recommend this restaurant to anyone, particularly those who are familiar with Albanian cuisine. Our experience was highly disappointing and not representative of the true taste and culture of Albanian food.
