Oda - Traditional Albanian Restaurant Reviewers praise this cozy, authentic spot for serving up "soul food" in a classic Albanian home setting. It’s perfect for your first night to try local specialties. ​Signature Items: Tavë kosi (baked lamb with yogurt and rice) and fresh byrek. ​Pros: Generous portions, highly authentic atmosphere, and excellent hospitality. ​Cons: Very popular, so expect a wait during peak dinner hours if you don't have a reservation.
