The kitchen is a grill house in the plain Albanian sense, meat cooked over embers, chicken among it, served fast with bread and salad rather than dressed up.

The location is the argument for it. The stalls it sits opposite are where the capital's kitchens buy, so the meat and the vegetables on the plate did not travel far. It is a place for a straightforward lunch after the morning stalls rather than an evening out, and it fills with people who work the stalls as well as visitors walking them.
