WOW. This is the best South European Restaurant (maybe the best Restaurant) that I have been to in NYC. Authentic Albanian cuisines, great ambience, all in all fantastic experience. Our server, Bobian, was the best and very hospitable, you will not regret your experience at Dua Kafe.
This restaurant is the kind of places that you would never regret dining there. Amazing food with an even better owner. Byrek combo was aromatic and crunchy, liked the beef one the most. Lamb chops tasted so good and juicy too. Qebapa a must order too, the cream sauce did not disappoint. Highly recommend getting the baked plums ice cream as well.
I’m not Albanian hence can’t speak for authenticity but the foods so delicious that it doesn’t matter. Shout out to the boss man and his friend who treated us a round of shots 😄🙌

We had the most amazing time at Dua Kafe. The food was authentic and delicious and the tea was outstanding. We were also delighted to have met the wonderful owner who was full of passion and very kind. Highly recommend this hidden gem 💎 can't wait to come back!
Amazing traditional Albanian food. Great vibe to this cozy location. And, the owner was so friendly and patient in explaining the restaurant, dishes. And, even recommended amazing spots to visit in Albania, complete with historical and geographical background.
Loved the food and service. It's obvious they take a lot of pride in what they make and everything tastes like it was made with hand-picked ingredients. What a gem!
Authentic Albanian cuisine, food was delicious.
Lots of flavors, meat was cooked perfectly, lamb was so tender, seemed like you could have cut it with just looking at it.
Fergese was amazing, although be careful, it comes too hot. Better put some on a plate and let it cool down a little bit.
Spinach Burek wasn't seasoned good, no salt at all, unfortunately.
Overall, good experience, would highly recommend.

Lovely Albanian restaurant. The food was delicious and amazing, typical traditional Albanian dishes but with a modern American twist. Most of their ingredients are brought from Albania which makes the taste even more authentic which is what i was looking for when i first went there. Their raki cocktail was good too. Definitely going back there.
