About Cka ka Qellu
“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.
