ÇKA KA QËLLU is the place to go to experience everything Albanian culture has to offer. Albanian food is hard to find in New England but ÇKA KA QËLLU has the vibes you need.
They have 3 locations, one in downtown Stamford on Clark St, one in NYC and the other in Bronx, NY! The Stamford location has a beautiful outdoor space perfect for warmer weather and a spacious dining area for the colder months inside. When entering ÇKA KA QËLLU, you instantly transport into Albania… The rustic decor feels like you’re stepping into a castle with the exposed brick and wooden decor. There’s minimal lighting during the evening to appeal to date-nighters and the feel of the rustic atmosphere.
We loved this place and know you will too! ÇKA KA QËLLU is an absolute gem and we are so happy to have them so close in Stamford.

About ÇKA KA QËLLU:
“ÇKA KA QËLLU” restaurant serves a modern selection of the most popular and most loved dishes of Albania and Kosovo cuisine as well as the mouth-watering desserts. They serve not only healthy but also nutritious food for you and your family. All servings are prepared and cooked by their well-experienced and passionate chefs in their kitchen at Çka ka Qëllu.
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 and 19th-century Albanian artifacts to decorate the space, Çka Ka Qëllu is now one of the most unique restaurant/museum experiences in the city.
