EJA RESTAURANT — Restaurant in Tirana Municipality

“We had a fantastic experience at Eja Pasta Fresca in Tirana! From the moment we arrived, the cozy, family-friendly atmosphere made us feel right at home. The place was beautifully set with red checkered tablecloths, and the background music – modern acoustic guitar covers – added a wonderful touch to the ambiance.

While Eja Pasta Fresca is known for its fresh pasta dishes, we tried a few different options, and everything was excellent. I ordered a steak, which was cooked to perfection, and my girlfriend chose a truffle chicken dish. The friendly staff took the time to explain the details of each dish, which we really appreciated. For starters, we enjoyed some delicious shrimp, and the organic potatoes tasted exceptionally fresh and flavorful.

We were pleasantly surprised by a complimentary dessert at the end of our meal, featuring sliced apple, panna cotta, sponge cake, and orange pieces – a thoughtful and delightful gesture from the team.

The staff was attentive and polite throughout, clearly doing their best to ensure we had a memorable dining experience. We paid by card with no issues, and at the end, they even provided a ‘Rate Your Experience’ card for easy feedback.

Overall, we highly recommend Eja Pasta Fresca to anyone visiting Tirana who’s looking for a quiet, welcoming place to enjoy fantastic food. We’ll definitely be...

Highly recommend!

We (my boyfriend and I) were looking for some traditional cuisine and have had a bad dinner experience earlier this week. Especially I was therefore really cautious for trying another restaurant, but EJA did not disappoint!

The staff were friendly and the food was delicious. We had the meatballs and the ‘tave’ and these were both full of flavour and had a really nice texture. After that we were so pleasantly surprised/impressed we wanted to try a pasta dish, since it’s in the name of the restaurant … again very nice!

Maybe a teeny tiny notion is the fact that the portions aren’t that big. It might be more common to have some anti-paste or a soup before hand, but just a main course might be not enough if you’re really hungry. We had three main dishes and that is more than enough though (and well worth your money to just try it anyway ;) It also felt a bit random that the tv inside was on, didn’t seem an asset to the ambiance?

Overall really nice restaurant, pleasant ambiance, good food, friendly staff, would definitely visit again!! We spent +-€15 pp including tip, three! main courses ánd 1/2l of red wine.

Thank you for this...

I first get interested this restaurant because of their adorable cat. About a year ago, when my friend visited, he fed the cat plenty of shrimp — it was just too cute! From the photos back then, the seafood pasta looked generous and full of shrimp and shellfish, and it tasted amazing according to my friend. I finally came to try it myself this year and it was every bit as wonderful as I imagined. I really enjoyed their seafood pastas on my own and even brought our friends here for a gathering dinner twice. Every single dish was delicious and amazing, and they even kindly treated us to some desserts afterwards.

They also serve Raki here — far too strong for me! Even the version diluted with lemon juice was impossible for me to finish 🤣 (definitely my issue, not theirs), as it smelled like pure alcohol to me. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience with fantastic food, great service, and a special little memory...
