  “My favourite café. Not just in Leicester but anywhere. The man who runs it is great; you can feel how excited he is to share his cultural heritage and food with you - and it’s not expensive either.”

  “One of the best places I've ever visited. They stole my heart with their amazing food and owner. Beef was unbelievably soft and delicious. If you will come to this place after me, sorry, I bought all Baklava after I tried one piece!”

  “Fantastic experience. Kind and proactive service, nice food with a very reasonable price, just next to st margret bus station, make sure to make a visit if you have some time to burn before a bus.”

  “Delicious traditional Albanian food with real homemade taste. The burek and meat dishes were amazing also halal, and the atmosphere was very welcoming. Also had some of the best coffee I’ve tried in the UK smooth, strong, and full of flavor. Highly recommend!”

  “Brilliant service and food, had a beef stew with cabbage and they provided lemon and chilli on the side. Even stew by itself was delicious. Had a cheese dip dish that was really good and plenty of nice freshly baked bread to mop it up. Floral Turkish coffee was smooth and baklava was really delicious. Highly recommend for a healthy lunch”

  “Have eaten here twice now, excellent both times. A spotlessly clean and calm atmosphere, very friendly and helpful staff. There is no menu, the staff tell you what has been cooked that day. There are several choices such as white bean soup, beef goulash soup, stuffed aubergine with meat and stuffed peppers (shown in the photo). Albanian/Turkish home cooking. All served with home made bread. Lovely drinks and cakes too. What a refreshing change from the microwaved offerings found in most similar establishments. Looking forward to having lunch here again soon.”

  “First experience of albanian food and we were not disappointed. The lamb in my soup melted in my mouth and the home made bread was delicious. The boreks were light and crispy. The owner was fantastic and so accommodating. Would definitely recommend”
