“ÇKA KA QËLLU” serves a modern selection of the most popular and well-loved dishes of Albania and Kosovo, including unique, mouth-watering desserts. We proudly serve authentic dishes that are sumptuous and healthy at the same time. All family-style servings are prepared in-house daily by our experienced and passionate chefs.
The owner of Çka ka Qëllu was inspired to open his restaurant when his son asked him where he could take his friends for authentic Albanian cuisine. In his research, Ramiz came up empty-handed and decided it would become his life’s mission to bring Albanian cuisine and culture to NYC. After years of collecting 18th & 19th-century Albanian artifacts to decorate the space in museum fashion; it is now one of the most unique restaurants in the city.

Google ReviewsEverything here was insanely delicious!!! I was totally new to Albanian food and didn’t know what to expect but I love all meat and cheeses and so many dishes were just exquisitely prepared meat and cheese! Service was super slow in the beginning and took a very long time to bring us water but I can’t even detract stars for that because the food made it all worth it. Also for some reason I only took the one picture but each dish looked beautiful, as well.
