Our Story

A note

As a mother and son team, we offer a small menu, giving you a glimpse of the Balkan peninsula we used to call home. Ethnically, we are Albanians from the small country of Montenegro, and the food is influenced from the numerous conquerors and empires that have laid stake to our region for the last two millennia. Our focus is using fresh, seasonal ingredients in the style of the hearty, satisfying home cooking we grew up eating.
