Restaurant Shiza — Restaurant in Bashkia Sarandë

You definitely need to come to SHIZA Restaurant! Delicious food, exciting sea view, friendly staff By occasion we decided to go to this restaurant for a dinner and became their permanent visitors till end of our vacation) Restaurant is located close to the city center and proposed delicious sea food, relaxing atmosphere and professional servicing. The pool inside adds romantic notes in the evening and sparkling joy during the day. Prices relating to the quality and seize of the portions are really very adequate. We highly recommend Shiza salad - fresh and juicy; vegetable soup and chicken filet - our children became fans of it))). Seafood linguine and grilled gilthead - my favourite ones! Linguine is a full plate of delicious frutti di mare, and gilthead was so fresh, just taken from the sea this day, serviced with grilled vegetables. Penne Bolognese - tasty classic spaghetti with meat-tomato. Truffle ravioli - extremely tender with unbelievable souse. Oysters, octopus, calamari, shrimps - fresh, sauted or fried, all of them were lovely good 😊 White wine of high quality accompanies our diners. And for dessert - classic crème brulee was amazing. Special thanks to the Reni, owner of this place, and all his team, for providing so high standard of service and comfort to the guests, cozy and hospitable atmosphere and democratic pricing. If you are in Saranda, you definitely need to visit...

The worst dinner of our lives. DON’T EAT HERE!!!⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️

We arrived just after 8 in the evening, ordered our food and waited for 2 HOURS?! First we got 3 dishes and 3 sides then nothing for another 40 minutes when we got 3 more dishes. There was NO explanation, NO apologies for the wait, they said nothing at all… during the time that we sat and waited for our food almost all of the other guests got up and left and told us “ don’t waste your time…”. We never got all of the food that we ordered, 5 dishes never came and one of them was a COLD SOUP??? Oh and the BASIL pesto linguine with shrimp has no basil in it, it was only dill in it and it ONLY tasted dill and nothing else.

And then when we got up to leave after unfortunately still having to pay for the courses that we got, a stray dog came up the stairs and started drinking water out of the pool? That’s not...

God.. this was one big embarrassment. We arrived at approximately 8pm, we were given a table immediately. And that was about the only thing good about this dinner. One of the members of the group waited for a single fish for 2 whole hours.. we ended giving it up, didn’t even want to take their offer to take it away with us. Ordered the tuna and avocado salad; look, amazing, taste absolutely horrible, as if it was dipped in the salty sea wasn’t even edible due to the salt in it. One of the fish that was arrived was half raw, one of the steaks was just like a shoe sole, disgusting and sad. The place looks absolutely amazing the staff looks.. friendly, but for a restaurant, if they have the courage to give this food to paying costumers, they should be ashamed of themselves. I am not recommending to come here as long as the owner doesn’t try better.. hope...
