I was introduced to this hidden gem by an Albanian client some time ago, and I finally had the chance to try it out. It has quickly become my favorite restaurant on the island. What's even better is that it is very affordable. We ordered 5 dishes and 4 bottles of water, added a 20% tip, and each of us (a group of 4) paid only $26. We even had delicious leftovers to enjoy later. The value for money here is truly exceptional, and I hope it remains this way! One unique aspect is that they don't provide an English menu; everything is in Albanian. However, the friendly waitress was very helpful in assisting us with our choices, patiently explaining each dish. I highly recommend trying the followi...
Readers beware ask for prices before you eat from this place . I ate borek from this place 3-4 times past 3-4 months and was charged 20$ for the pie . We ate trilece and had a drink and when I checked my bank account I saw I got charged 31$ I called the( Skinny blonde guy) next day . I said I think you charged me for 2 Tricele at 4$ each we ate only one he was also talking on the phone when he rang us up) he was was rude on the phone and said The price went up to 24$ for borek pie (which was also dry and tasted different) I’m like we just ate a month ago he says the price went up you should have asked !! Ok good bye and hangs up the phone on me . Horrible customer service Lying and rudeness...
I had never tried Albanian cuisine before, so I was eager to dine at Alba. The menu was mostly in Albanian, but the waiter kindly provided a clear translation. He was welcoming, friendly, and assisted me in choosing my meal. I opted for the Beef Kabob served with rice, a side salad, and an imported Albanian peach soda. The food exceeded my expectations and was incredibly delicious. Alba is the sole Albanian restaurant on Staten Island, and I highly recommend it. Whether dining solo or with a group, the warm and upscale atmosphere makes for a great dining experience.
The bread was so soft so fresh! I really appreciate the small plate they give with feta cheese, garnished with fresh parsley and a side of black olive and adjavar. Also the plate of food I had was delicious!!! So good so fresh!! It’s a nice and cozy spot to eat and I highly recommend. Staff was so kind. My family and I really enjoy this place.

The food at this restaurant is consistently excellent, with a wide variety of options available. It is the perfect place to experience European cuisine.
I asked her if the flesh is halal and the guy said he really doesn't know and doesn't want to mislead us, but they don't sell a pig.
The food and atmosphere at this restaurant are fantastic. The customer service, particularly from Host Arti, is exceptional.
I went in intending to order takeout lunch but no servers came out from the kitchen. After a minute or two, I left.

I visited this restaurant for lunch and tried their kabobs - they were fantastic!
The cooking at this restaurant reminds me of my grandmother's meals.
