Vlora Restaurant and Cocktail Bar — Restaurant in England

Ate here last night and it was one of the worst meals I have eaten out for years. When we arrived they had obviously lost our booking as they looked very confused and then moved us from one table to another.

I was under the impression it was a tapas restaurant but found the menu to be quite an odd mix e.g. pitta bread, chicken shich, falafel etc so not typical tapas. Maybe to some people's taste but i prefer more Spanish tapas.

Half our dishes were inedible. The chorizo comes in long sticks and we all really struggled to cut them. As for chewing- impossible! We were given a replacement but found it just as tough. We were also offered steak knives to cut it but surely that shouldn't be necessary for chorizo!

The chips were under cooked and hard. These were replaced with better cooked chips.

The lamb meatballs were so hard I couldn't get my fork in it, no way could I cut it or eat it.

When we got the bill, a bottle of wine had been added to it which we hadn't ordered. We had to have this removed from the bill.

So overall although the decor was lovely and the place was busy the food was so awful that I would not want to return....

We tend to go to restaurants on quieter nights as the service is usually better and you don’t feel so hurried if there are people waiting for tables. So we headed to Vlora on a Wednesday at about 6ish. We were the only diners, but that is no reflection on the restaurant or the food. Friendly greeting and a choice of tables is always a good start. As there were just 2 of us (we left the hoard at home) we ordered a few things we knew we’d like. To be fair we probably ordered too much but taking home the leftovers is a tradition our little ones (now not so little) look forward too when we sneak out on a date night. There wasn’t one dish that wasn’t spot on, tasty and moorish. I knew from the first taste of calamari that I was going to be full when leaving. The chicken and mushroom risotto and the chicken Cokertme were absolute stand outs from the tapas. The lamb shish and house special for mains certainly didn’t disappoint. It’s nice having a good quality eatery practically on our doorstep (well a 15 min walk) that doesn’t involve copy and paste restaurants that you find at places like Rushden lakes. Highly...

Me and my girlfriend recently celebrated our birthday and it was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we stepped in the atmosphere set the tone for a perfect evening for us and our guests. The food was the highlight of the night - every dish was a masterpiece. From the starter to the main everything was phenomenal. They even done a little show for us and our guests with the Argentinian steak. What truly elevated the experience was the service. The staff went above and beyond to make our celebration special.They even surprised us with a thoughtful birthday touch, which added a personal and memorable touch to the evening. We left feeling thoroughly impressed and grateful for such a wonderful experience and thank you for that! We can’t...
