In the summer and fall of 2021, I took two trips to New York City to explore the food culture of one of the largest and most ethnically diverse cities on the planet. One of the cuisines I explored in depth was Albanian cuisine. After visiting Albania twice in 2020, I wanted to dive even deeper into the rich culinary landscape of the country, but in NYC!
For my Albania and Balkan food adventures in the city, I teamed up with a few friends and hit up an impressive number of restaurants that specialize in cuisine from the Balkan region of Europe. Some of them are so well-known and authentic that they’ve been visited by Albanian stars like Dua Lipa!

My first adventure saw me have burek at Déa, local favorites like qebap and sujuk at Çakor, and flija and tavas at Çka Ka Qellu, before ending with open-face sandwiches at No Fork.
After that, I linked up with my friend Diana, who joined me at Dua Kafe, a popular NYC eatery that has hosted everyone from Dua Lipa to Rita Ora to Kim Kardashian! There, we had everything from Elbasan tava to sallate oktapodi to flija to qebape. Of course, we also had to have some raki!
Then, finally, my friend Mimoza and I stopped by Arberia Grill, where we enjoyed burek, goulash, fli, qebapa, tavas, sujuk, qofte, vrishlle, and more. And even though we ate a ton there, we then headed over to Sinshpi Restaurant for some pjleskavica, kofte, pjeshke, tepsishte, and even some Albanian pizza!
But while I can tell you what we ate, it’s probably better for me to show you! Come with me as I eat Albanian food for 48 hours in NYC!
