Alba International Food

The best Turkish on the island!!! The place looks like a dive but don’t be fooled, the food is excellent. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a good meal without breaking the bank. Just ask for extra white sauce!

I used to eat at Alba for about 2 years since it was beside my home, and even after i moved 10 miles away i’m still ordering from them but yesterday was my last time ever i order food from this place, the reason i was eating there is a guy called Lyle Don, he is very friendly and i believe that most people go there because of him, but later he wasn’t there all the time and another guy slim and seems to be in his 40^th is working there behind the counter, he is the dumbest guy i have ever seen, beside his English weakness, he is very far from being in a customer service place, he wont give you the chance to say your order because of the lack of his ability to understand what you say, he will rush you to order because he don’t wanna wait until you choose, he will show you that he is upset if you ask for any extras (which you will pay for), yesterday i ordered 10 Pieces kebab and chicken Adana, he charged me extra plus the new prices so the total was over charged, we asked him to add 2 ajvar and i believe this was the reason for the extra charge (it’s OK no problem i would pay whatever i ordered) but he didn’t put the extra ajvar, so after we left we went back to the store to correct his mistake but guess what? he was so angry because of that, i was in rush so i preferred to wait in the car to turn it until my wife brings the missed items … so this man should thank me that i sent my wife to bring the missed items because if it was me i would ruined his night.

Delicious, authentic food with very friendly service. Love the shepard salad, chicken is seasoned and cooked perfectly! The first time my boyfriend and I came here on a very cold evening, the gentleman working there served us some delicious coffee on the house. so welcoming! Prices are good and now we come regularly.

WONDERFUL! I had the lamb platter — an assortment of lamb dishes; my friend had the chicken version. We also had their eggplant. EXCELLENT. It has a «coffee shop» atmosphere so this isn’t a romantic date place but the food is terrific! The people that work there are SO nice, as well! We brought our own wine — it was not a problem. And there was so much food we both had doggy bags. Will DEFINITIVELY go back!

No frills, just fresh, authentic food. The Shepard salad is delish. Very flavorful and the fresh grated cheese on top is excellent. Dip some of the tasty, crusty bread in there and yum-​o! I’ve also had the chicken kabob, which is full of flavor and cooked well. It’s served over rice with the white and red sauce on the side. I can’t get enough of those white and red sauces, which is also good for bread dunkin’. It’s a small space and the staff is friendly. There’s also a parking lot, which is a plus.

Had dinner with my dad here, we both got the Chicken Adana and may I say WOW the chicken was flavorful and cooked to perfection, the salad was fresh, the rice was perfect and the establishment is clean. The guys working there are Albanian and they are quite friendly, been there before and had the Burek and it was also very good. Alba never disappoints defiantly something worth trying.

Alba is an excellent choice if you are craving good, fresh mediterranean food. The actual café is next door to the supermarket. I have ordered take out and eaten in several times. The food is always hot, fresh and very tasty. I love their shepard salad, chicken kabob and the bread is outstanding. They are always very fast. Dining in is nothing fancy, but you are there for the food and not the décor. The staff is always friendly. Ask nicely, and you might get extra white sauce (score!)

Turkish restaurant .went ther 3 times.
I had the calf liver sauteed was really good.
then i had a cabab with a pie that had cheese and flaky.
This type of food goes very well with beer .

About a month ago, I got assigned to a stressful job with long hours, far from my home and this place made it bearable. I saw the word «burek» as the bus took me in for my first day and, as a fan of Balkan cuisine, I went to try it at my first opportunity. Turns out my handful of phrases in Serbo-​Croatian were politely received. On the way out I figured out it was an Albanian place (duh! «alba»). The important thing is the food is amazing. Kababs, gyros, bureks (basically stuffed pizza made with phylo dough), an impressive array of salads, some appetizers that will be familiar to those who know mediterranean food (eggplant, chickpea, yogurt spreads). Many co-​workers went over at my urging and all came back raving about the grilled meats and yummy salad and pleasant disposition of the staff. For some of my new co-​workers this place is definitive evidence that «Halal» means «guaranteed super clean, super fresh, healthful and delicious» food. My experience is that’s not always the case but I’m ;etting them go back to the south and midwest with that impression, thanks to Alba. I was especially impressed at the quality of the vegetarian options (not what I usually expect when I go for Balkan food). I can’t leave out that it’s an incredible value — significant quantities of high quality food for surprisingly little cash.

Excellent food. Always fresh and very good customer service.
