Hapiteria Prishtina

A mezzeria to make you happy

Elita from Prishtina

I am someone who loves to play with the balance between tradition and innovation. To fulfil my more futuristic side, I've studied Computer Science and Engineering, while to feed my traditional soul, I am in constant exploration of stories and cultures from all over the world. Travelling, learning languages, and writing are passions of mine which have always gone hand in hand with my interest in un...
"Hapiteria offers a delicious mix of mezzes, fresh bread, and friendly service — perfect for any night out in Prishtina."

Hidden a roundabout away from the main stadium, Hapiteria is a relatively new restaurant catering to the taste of Prishtina's people.

The special thing about it is that it doesn't specialise in a specific cuisine; instead, it gives you a hint of the most popular dishes through mezzes. Whenever I am undecided and want something filling and delicious, Hapiteria is the spot – although, to be fair, my friends and I have recently become serial visitors for almost every night out.

The hummus salad is a collective favourite, and together with the most delicious bread on earth, it is a staple on our table. We will be the ones asking the extremely friendly and understanding waiters for, and I quote, "...as much bread as you can bring..." and then, sighing from joy as the steam from the hot bread heats up our hands. More often than not, we add pins and the Gochujang (marinated chicken breast) to the mix as well, but occasionally, we branch out to the chicken shish, tomato casserole, or the Cavalli (potato and onion pie).

Of course, a nice meal needs a drink to accompany it, and there is a range of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic ones to try out. My personal favourite is the Amaretto sour, which, ironically, was a recommendation of the barman when a friend of mine asked for something sweet. Now, is it sweet? That is debatable, but just as Hapiteria's food, it is absolutely tasty for sure.

Prishtina Spotter Elita

I am someone who loves to play with the balance between tradition and innovation. To fulfil my more futuristic side, I've studied Computer Science and Engineering, while to feed my traditional soul, I am in constant exploration of stories and cultures from all over the world. Travelling, learning languages, and writing are passions of mine which have always gone hand in hand with my interest in understanding different lifestyles; even my own. Prishtina is an exciting city, in my opinion. It doesn't have the typical architectural beauty that draws you in at first glance, but just o...
