It is one of the small, shabby but historical restaurants in Balat that has been operating since 1937. Originally, it was opened with the name Mavi Corner, but over time it made a name for itself as Köfteci Arnavut. It is famous for its meatballs, piyaz, liver, cyprus dessert and trileche (also known as albanian dessert), which we heard much less often in the past, although it is very well known nowadays. We tried it here for the first time and fell in love years ago, when trileçe was not yet around every corner. Try it and you will really know the difference. Since it is a place with few and self-catering options, it has a little eat-and-go concept. Meatballs and dessert are available every day, liver is only available on Tuesdays and Fridays. However, it's better if you don't go too late, especially desserts may not stay until evening.
