I called them for delivery, they don’t deliver, the girl who took the order had an attitude, she said they updated their menu and it’s not online. I got pick up the food and the food didn't come with no spoons forks napkins. I called them back they said O WELL. Very poor experience!

I was introduced to this hidden gem by an Albanian client a while back, and I finally had the chance to experience it. Without a doubt, it has become my absolute favorite restaurant on the island. What's even more enticing is its affordability. 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 were even left with delicious leftovers to savor later. The value for money here is truly outstanding, and I hope it stays that way! ?One unique aspect is that they don't offer an English menu; everything is in Albanian. However, the warm and welcoming waitress went out of her way to assist us with our choices, patiently explaining each dish. I highly recommend trying the following:1. Qebaba (resembling kebab): The taste is nothing short of amazing – an absolute MUST-ORDER!2. Mish vici ne furre (veal in the oven): It boasts a tender texture and a superbly delicious flavor – another MUST-ORDER!3. Gullash (beef stew): This one is my personal FAVORITE, and I can't recommend it enough!! It's served with bread, which has a delightful combination of a crunchy exterior and a soft interior that's simply delightful.4. Speca me kajmak (pepper in white cream): This dish is also highly enjoyable.5. Ground beef potato: A pretty good choice, and the leftovers are perfect for taking to work the next day, heating up into a super delicious meal.Last but not least, if you have a sweet tooth, they have a plenty of coconut-flavored desserts that will surely satisfy your craving.

I didnt like the food and it was a very uncomfortable environment. Mostly men and when they see a woman it feels like you dont belong there. Very bad experience. It sure doesnt reflect the true albanian food anyways.

I've never eaten Albanian cuisine before, so my curiosity to try it intensified on the day of my visit to Alba.The menu is predominantly written in their native language, but the waiter gave me a very clear translation. He was warm, friendly, and very helpful in assisting me with my food order.I had a Beef Kabob over rice with a side salad and an imported Albanian peach soda. Everything was as delicious as I was hoping it would be.Alba is the only Albanian restaurant on Staten Island, and I highly recommend them.Great for dining alone or with a group. The atmosphere is warm and looks like a luxurious dining room.

We didn't know what to expect, but WOW the food was fantastic! A combination of chicken, lamb, and pork, and it was all great. I highly recommend it. Not much in the way of ambience, but the food more than made up for it.

DONT GO THERE WITH CHILDREN: Attempted to go there with my family for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. Upon entering the establishment, I was hit in the face with the stench of cigarettes. Although there were many no smoking signs inside and outside the establishment, it seems the owners don’t care. Will not be taking my child to inhale smoke while eating.Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly
