No list of Albanian dishes is complete without Tavë Kosi. This dish is arguably the national dish and a centerpiece of our menu at Leskovik.
What it is: A simple yet exquisite dish of lamb (or sometimes chicken) and rice, baked in a rich, velvety mixture of yogurt and eggs until it achieves a soufflé-like crust.
Why it's a Must-Try: The acidity of the yogurt tenderizes the meat beautifully, creating a unique, comforting, and unforgettable flavor. It’s a truly savory classic that captures the soul of Traditional Albanian food.

A simple crowd-pleaser that showcases the quality of our locally sourced ingredients. Our Qofte are made with a special recipe passed down through generations.
