Confused by the title? Sorry, you are not reading about Greece but I bet you've heard a lot about Greek souvlaki. There is a piece of Greece in Albania too and it can be found along Luigj Gurakuqi Street, 2 minutes walk from the New Bazaar in Tirana.
Honestly, since the time I found out that Grill House existed (and I'm lucky I found that out from the beginning) I've never had a souvlaki elsewhere. Never ever! Grill House as a place is always crowded and you have to wait a little bit for your order to be ready. For me, eating a souvlaki in public is a difficult art, that's why I take the delivery service, it tastes better when you're at home, you know :P. As the song says, I don't like it but I love it love it love it!
P.S. I knew I shouldn't have written about that one - It's 1:30 AM now that I'm writing and I desperately need a souvlaki but it's closed...
