Not really recommended - Edit
Staff was very very friendly and accomodating! However the grilled vegetables and fries were just alright but very pricy - if I had had any cash on me I'd probably have gone somewhere else.

Cute place, but rather underwhelming - Edit
Very attentive service, and the waiters were very friendly and helpful – but there aren't many vegan options and, unfortunately, the few dishes that are vegan were not as tasty as their equivalent at much, much simpler and cheaper restaurants.
Read moreWe ended up ordering byrek (spinach only; too dry and somewhat bland for my taste; but the waiters kindly double-checked with the kitchen to make sure the dough did not contain eggs), potato chips (delicious), grilled vegetables (ok, but rather expensive for what it was, and we've had nicer ones in most other Albanian places) and a very plain spinach and tomato salad (at 600 LEK also rather expensive; we ordered it without cheese).
Having eaten here on our first trip to Tirana a few years ago and enjoyed our (also vegan) meal very much, we were eager to come back this time around. I'm not sure if our palate is now just quite simply "spoilt" or if the quality has dropped considerably, but in the future I'll stick to the more basic tavernas for good, inexpensive home-cooked food.
Please note that the courgette croquettes and the rice are not in fact vegan!

terrible! - Edit
we went to this restaurant, placing high hopes, unfortunately unfulfilled. I ordered courgette "croquettes", the ingredients were not specified. the photo was very inviting, it's a shame that I received 4 thin, soggy, half-burnt discs and completely tasteless. the beetroot salad was bland and flavourless. I also tried to order stewed potatoes, which they use as a substitute for bread, but I was told that it wasn't possible, because they could only cook it if I also ordered a meat dish. There was no desire on the part of the waiter to recommend another dish.

Great! Visit it! - Edit
It might not be the most vegan experience there but the food is delicious and service super friendly. They offer a lot of vegetarian options. Also vegan options available. We had the daily soup (vegetable soup), fried zucchini and two byrek ( tomato and onion & spinach). I highly recommend the Tomate onion one!

Not vegan, but good. - Edit
We ordered the grilled vegetables, spinach pie and zucchini croquettes. The spinach pie is not vegan but the cheese on it was very light. The server was very engaging and thoughtful.

We didn't stay as not much vegan - Edit
The pie and the croquettes were not vegan. Not sure about the battered zucchini. We were only offered salad, grilled vegetables, rice and chips so we went elsewhere. Likely normal for Albanian restaurants.
Read moreWe bumped into the manager on the way out who was adamant that those items were vegan but the waiter had checked with the chef.
Pros: Nice clean looking restaurant, Good selection of dishes for vegetarians, Good English spoken
Cons: Very few vegan dishes
