Location - 5 starsService - 7 starsFood - 6 starsMusic - 5 starsOverall - 6 out of 5 stars.

Good food, delicious lamb in a very green, beautiful environment

The restaurant has a vey nice ambiance, food was excellent and so was the service, Everything we’ve tried here has been amazing. The staff always ready to help, everything was clean, the atmosphere so lovely, and the food - both - delicious and beautifully presented.

Loved the food, dont miss the ricotta with tomatoes! Good wine as well, definitely worth going 🙂

Such an incredible experience to see how this family is maintaining the old culture style while combining it with modernity! Rexhep showed us his entomology lab and Flori gave us a fantastic tour around the farm and vineyards/cellar. The visit ended up with a tiny Albanian wine taste + some blueberry juice. Really warm people!! We also had lunch in the restaurant: nice food and service. A must visit in Albania!

A very well managed Agritourism, easily accessible from Tirana! A daily getaway to enjoy healthy food with good company!

Brilliant place, worth a detour. They cook all the vegetables from their own crop, the tomatoes being one of the best Ive ever eaten. The beef ribs and the pumpkin pie are amazing!

Its a lovely place between Tirana city and its airport. Id recommend trying the corn bread dish. Traditional and delicious

Everything was delicious. The food was so tasty and Everything that we ordered was well prepared. The staff was very friendly and very respectful.

Total dissapointment. The meze we call them, were just beans, carrots, cabbages, and there was no cheese. The pie was made at least 4-5 hours before. Even fergesa which you can find it everywhere hot, boiling, here was cold, mos probably prepared hours before. The wine costs around 1800 lek, no other cheaper option, and it is very low qaulity, unfiltered also. Homemade pig sausages were just normal sausages from supermarket, also were not baked well. We ordered also as a main dish chicken with patatoes, they didnt have jufka. The chicken was very low quality meat, most probably supermarket chicken (kmy, worth 300 lek). The patatoes were not baked in oven or fire, they were unpilled and with lot of oil. The price of these garbages is 8000 lek, which is very high, and i would not recommend it to anyone...Regarding the furniture of the restaurant, sorroundings, view, nothing special. OVERAL TOTAL DISSAPOINTMENT.

I was somewhat disappointed this time. The waiter suggested a prepared menu which we said yes to. It turned out to be a few veggies, red beans, a lot of pickled cabbage. They said they would bring Byrek, but they forgot and we had to ask for it. When it came it was just okay, not great. The meat was very good though and the wine. Perhaps it is better in summer, but it wasnt worth the drive this time.

Pleasured experience after I used to Albania standard of restaurants. Home made wine, tasty meal for fair price and very polite staff with good English.

We dined outdoors and it was lovely. Our waitress was pretty attentive and the service overall was great. We ordered the lamb and pork sausage which were outstanding. The appetizers were also good and fresh. We ordered the Kallmet wine, which is their best wine but we weren’t thrilled by it and was the only downside. The surrounding vineyard and countryside made for a great dining experience.

Excellent experience with very good friends. Foods and wine.For sure i come back !!

WOW! Incredible experience!We really enjoyed everything that this family has done for 25 years to preserve the albanian agricolture and traditional culinary as well. I red all comments before visiting and felt sceptical about the place.A very well selected scientific work on the most organic seeds that the world hasnt yet selected. Vegetables that tasted true vegetables and much more.We tasted albanian wine unwritten history in a glass and it was an experience!This team work family deserves a gold medal for their idealistic work to keep albanian values alive.Mutch love and respect .Thank you for the experience.

Best place ever! I had a great experience of their professional work in agriculture and winemaking. I got an emotional feeling of their passion, in what they have done, respecting the ecosystem and keeping the values of albanian winemaking history alive. A farm to table concept, wich I experienced albanian culinary and fresh taste of nature on a plate. A great place to visit. “To do List”

Beautiful experience, beautiful ambiance and good food. The experience and ambiance makes this place. It has vineyards all around it, and you feel like you are in Italy

Totally bad. The service was not good they forgot to bring a part of the order , they didnt give us menu , to some other clients were giving i didnt understand this , all the prices too high according to what was being served

The place is nice but expencive fot what you get. Have been there before and it was much better. The starters were terrible only white cheese , some slice of pie , a large pot of legume, and some cabaige ( we allowed the waitter to arrange the startersThe meat was well cooked . My littel kid was starving and has nothing to eat in the table until the meat arrived ( although we had ordered enoughDefinitely we will not return back.

Amazing. My fondest memory of Europe was my time spent in Albania. This restaurant had the most delicious and fresh food. I will be back.

We had a lunch of 6 people and paid approximately 100€. The starters were ok but nothing special. Meat was delicious but pricey and small portions. Regarding the wine, we asked for Home Wine but paid 15€ for the bottle. No menus at all. It was my first time but considering other options around, i would not go again.

Food was good and fresh but the staff were not very friendly nor did they check back on us at all once the food had arrived. We had to make several attempts to get a server to come to our table over a half hour after we finished eating. The restaurant was very clean and upscale rustic feel to its decor. The surrounding farm and countryside were pretty as well.

Very rude staff, totally unwelcome atmosfere.I was forced to leave, due to adolescence behavior of the waiter , who was ready to be involved in a personal physical fight. Totally not recommend this place. If thing evolved , i can call it a dangerous place!

Easily the best place to eat and dine just outside of Tirana! When my friend and I arrived we were warmly welcomed and told the menu of the day. Everything sounded incredible so we let our waiter create an appetizer for us, then ordered our entrees. It was one of those meals there was no talking because we were just too busy eating! Highly recommend.

Uka Farm is the experience you definitely should not miss out on when visiting Albania. Flori is exceptionaly gifted when it comes to making artful wines. The ingrediants used in the restaurant are organically grown on the farm or otherwise locally sourced. Tastewise and especially in combination with their wines it is a revelation.

A very nice atmosphere and most importantly super delicious and tasty food. The service is also very good. A must if you are visiting Albania and want to enjoy the true taste of the Albanian food.

The greatest organic place I have visited. Soooo tasty food. Love it ❤️

Good place with good meals. It is grat for group reservations. I was there twice, first with a couple of friends, it was really good. Then i was with an organized evening with music, good atmosphere and great service

The area was good.Very good surrounding. No smile and greeting tho.Not sure i have mixed feelings, Food was ok.They are clean maybe because i didnt like the way the waiter was behaving that make me to give only 3 stars

The beans and bread were ok but; the vegetables needed a little bit more oil, the rice needed salt to actually taste ok and the meat was dry. However, my biggest problem was the service. They are slow and they sometimes mess your order; I ordered a pepsi and instead of the pepsi I ordered (I looked at the drink fridge, they had pepsi), they gave me a orange fanta, when that was clearly what I didn’t order. I hope the service would be quick and the waiters would listen to the costumers more. For that reason, my rating for this restaurant is 2/5 (sorry, but this restaurant is truly made for this rating).

Great spot for lunch with family or friends. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon and they were fully booked but we were lucky enough to get a seat as there were others who were turned away. This is a farm to table kind of place and we had a nice walk around their farm after the meal.We didn’t get to choose the menu except for the meat but were delighted with the selection of starters. Chicken was quite dry unfortunately but very fresh. We were told the farm produce their own wine as well, however the wine served was already corked for some time so it didn’t taste as good. This might have been in anticipation of the Sunday crowd.Overall it was a lovely experience and we thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

It was unfortunate because I had seen so many good reviews and the food wasnt terrible but the service was definitely lacking. First off the service was extremely slow and we only took up a second table so it wasnt packed out by any means. Secondly the menu was extremely sparse (I think there were 20 items altogether plus drinks to choose from), this can be positive if the food is good but it was only just okay. Finally at the end they added a bunch of extra items to our food bill which just leaves a bad taste. I understand mistakes can be made but in all seriousness when there seems to be more waiters patrolling than there are tables full I really cannot understand how that kind of mistake can be made and its really atrocious.

Yummy food! And very good wine! If you love the nature you have to ask for a guide around the farm so you can hear the history and the concept or just take a walk by yourself and enjoy it!

A very nice stop for lunch. The food is rustic, genuine, and delicious. Its not refined but the ingredients and produce are great. Me and my friends were the only tourist present which made it even more worth visiting.

Nice atmosphere, liked the white better than the red, but the bottle to take home was a bit pricey.

Bio food and nice service,congrutulation👍🏻

The place is extremely nice and cosy. The appetizers were delicious. The chicken with rice and jufka was not up to their standard, though. The rice was almost unedible and none ot the food had any seasoning.At the end of our meal, we noticed that we didn’t get the complementary fresh fruit every other table was getting after their meal. When we asked for them, the waiter was very rude and refused to give them to us. Our bill was brought by another waiter. Very bad service and we left feeling unwelcome.3/5 for the place and the appetizers, but will not be returning.

Place with a great family history. Extremely tasty food and amazing original wine!

Really nice taverna on the way to the airport. With a big vineyard all around the place. I suggest having the proposed traditional starters and whatever grilled meat you like. Everything is really tasty and produced there

The food is good. Service was poor when we were there, as if the waiter could not be bothered with us. Rather pricy for Albania, quite modern and geared to tourism too.

Food above average and the surrounding garden is very pretty. But the service lacked attention, one of the dishes never made it to the table and we didnt even get an apology. Also, both times i have been there was too much smoke coming from the stone oven in the main seating area. One of these times, all customers had to be evacuated for a good half hour until the smoke was cleared. In the end, all our clothes smelled and we were covered in ash. I would not recommend.

Great wine, wonderful food, friendly people and a beautiful nature surrounding you. Definitely a place worth visiting!

A very nice restaurant on the way from Tirana to the Airport. The food is very good, smells and tastes very natural, as well cooked properly every time. The staff is friendly and the quality of service does not disappoint. The place has as well its own wine, which I should say is very good, and it gets better every time I go there. I would definitely suggest this place to meat and red wine lovers. You can enjoy the nature and the silence while you are there, sipping a good wine and tasting local grown food.

Great atmosphere, nice family friendly place, excellent traditional food.

Uka Farm is a world-class, family-owned food business that includes a restaurant, a farm, where many of the ingredients are grown, and a winery.We were given a brief tour by Flori Uka, who runs the restaurant and who started the family’s winery business. He explained how the farm uses no chemicals and instead relies on insects to help cultivate vegetables and pomegranates to keep them free from pests. He told us his father, an academic, started the farm to test his research into insects and their life-cycles and their beneficial impact on crops.The dining area is a lovely, open-air space, surrounded by the farm. The food is simple but stunning and uses all local ingredients. We asked Mr. Uka to choose for us. We enjoyed a selection of beautiful salads made with tasty tomatoes, olives and locally produced cheese, fresh bread with olive oil and grilled lamb. We drank a bottle of Uka Winery red wine and finished with locally produced raki.Service was attentive, professional and as quick as we wanted. (We were on our way to the airport to catch a flight.)

All meals are delicious. Especially wines are handmade. If you wanna full, uka farm is correct decision.

Wonderful food, locally grown vegetables and fresh meat, spent lovely day with family.

stunning family run biodynamic & organic farm and restaurant. its so beautiful to wander around. there is also a winery where they make their own wine chimera which uses three grapes from albania. I dont drink wine but I enjoyed their red and white. the food is amazing with simple dishes but all fresh from farm to table. we had different cheeses mixed chilli, blueberries & sage, beans from a clay pot, arugula/rocket salad, stuffed cheese peppers, mixed grill of meats including steak, pork sausages & lamb, and for me a fresh tomato vegetarian pasta. inside is very rustic design. one of the sons was there and told us about the place which was really interesting. I definitely recommend coming here - it was the perfect place to come for our last meal in tirana.

This undiscovered gem is a treasure. 100% bio, all food grown on the local farm. All wine produced from local vineyard. Every course was excellent. Restaurant is run by the familys son who also manages the vineyard and studied wine in Italy. The father has for yrs, and still does, manage the farm. A great family combination.
