So far the best meat I’ve had in the area! I ordered the veal chop (1300 LEK) – very tasty, cooked medium, yet juicy, and near the bone it was closer to medium rare. Perfect seasoning – not too salty or spicy, just the real flavor of the meat. Fries were also good – unsalted but salt was on the table so everyone can season to their taste.

We also tried pasta arrabiata (500 LEK) – simple tomato-based sauce with a little spice/chilli?, nothing extraordinary but tasty and satisfying. My partner had chicken wings (600 LEK) with fries and enjoyed it a lot.

Only downside – they don’t offer seafood, which we would have loved to try, but honestly, it’s better when a place focuses on what they do best. We’ll definitely come back, next time for the breakfast menu (served 8–12 am). Thanks for the...

We found Rrapa's Grill Station via Google. It had a 4.9 rating so we decided to give it a try as we love grilled food. It was 5pm and the place was dead. We thought the restaurant was closed but the waiter confirmed it was open. I was recommended Lamb ribs by the waiter. They came out a bit too fatty. My fiancée ordered chicken skewers but the waiter mistakenly ordered the whole chicken for her instead. We weren't too fussed about it but had to pack it to be taken back to the hotel as portion was really big. The dishes didn't come with any salad or chips so we had to order separately. 3500 leke for two of us so price was normal for this time of the year we assume. Overall I'm giving it a 4 star as it was average. We think the restaurant was a...
