Tucked into Gjirokastër's old bazaar quarter, Restaurant Tradicional Odaja has earned a devoted following — over a thousand Google reviews keep it at 4.6 stars — through straightforward, Ottoman-inflected Albanian cooking. Regulars start with the rice balls, then split roast lamb and stuffed eggplant so soft it barely holds its shape, finishing with cheese baked bubbling straight from the oven. Service leans brisk rather than chatty, but ask for the balcony if the stone-walled dining room feels close, and the kitchen rarely disappoints at these prices.
