New Jersey has one of the larger Albanian-American communities in the country. In the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey for 2020 to 2024, about 18,300 New Jersey residents reported Albanian ancestry, behind only New York, Michigan and Massachusetts (U.S. Census Bureau, Table B04006). That ranking is not new: an encyclopedia entry on Albanian Americans names New Jersey after New York, Massachusetts and Michigan in its summary of the 1990 Census, and says early Albanian immigrants settled around Boston and elsewhere in Massachusetts rather than in New Jersey (Countries and Their Cultures). Restaurants have been part of Albanian-American working life from the start. The same entry notes that early immigrants worked as cooks and waiters, and that “the most successful Albanian businesses were fruit stores and restaurants.” Many later arrivals went into Italian restaurants in particular: in 2008 Philadelphia Magazine reported that “a ton of Italian restaurants” had been opened by members of Philadelphia’s growing Albanian community, including Trattoria Parma in Pennsauken, New Jersey (Philadelphia Magazine). The same pattern shows in this guide, where most restaurants serve Italian, steakhouse or seafood menus. For more traditional Albanian kitchens, see our guides to restaurants in the Bronx and New York City. Because many of these restaurants serve Italian or American food, diners may not know they are Albanian-owned. This guide is meant to make that connection visible.

Most restaurants in this guide serve Italian, steakhouse or seafood menus. A few examples from their own menus and websites: Albanian and Kosovan: fli, tavë kosi, qebapa and mixed grill platters at Çka Ka Qëllu in Westwood. Seafood and Mediterranean: charcoal-grilled octopus, whole branzino and a rack of lamb chops at Barka; zuppa di pesce and bass marechiare at SamVera. Steak: Cliff’s Steakhouse in Englewood Cliffs and Artemio’s Prime and Proper in Ringwood are both steakhouses; check their current menus with the restaurants. Italian: pappardelle with rabbit ragu and osso buco at Fiorino; a seasonal Southern Italian and Sicilian menu at Verona; a double-cut veal chop at SamVera. Casual: pizza from Victor’s in Teaneck or Casa D’Amici in North Arlington, or a seafood boil at The Boiling House in Cherry Hill. Traditional Albanian dishes such as byrek, fli and tavë kosi are rarely on the other menus. To learn about them, or to cook them at home, see our guide to Albanian food and our recipes for tavë kosi, fli and byrek me mish.

1. Do these restaurants serve traditional Albanian cuisine?
Mostly not. As their own websites show, most of the Albanian-owned restaurants in this guide serve Italian, steakhouse, Mediterranean, American or seafood menus rather than traditional Albanian dishes. The exception is Çka Ka Qëllu in Westwood, which serves Albanian and Kosovan dishes such as fli, tavë kosi and qebapa. Elsewhere, Albanian dishes such as byrek, fli and tavë kosi are more often found at Albanian bakeries and cafés; see our guide to Albanian bakeries in the US and our Albanian food guide.
2. Why are so many NJ Italian restaurants Albanian-owned?
There is no single study that answers this, but the record shows a long link between Albanian immigrants and restaurant work. Early Albanian immigrants worked as cooks and waiters, and restaurants were among their most successful businesses, according to an encyclopedia entry on Albanian Americans. Later arrivals often went into Italian restaurants in particular; in 2008 Philadelphia Magazine reported that many Italian restaurants in the Philadelphia area, including some in New Jersey, had been opened by members of the city’s Albanian community. Several restaurants in this guide have been open for decades: Fiorino says it has served Summit since 1995, and Martinsville Tavern dates itself to 1993. Learn more about Albanian cultural traditions
3. Where is the largest concentration of Albanian restaurants in NJ?
By population, Bergen County: about 6,200 of New Jersey’s roughly 18,300 residents with Albanian ancestry live there, according to Census estimates for 2020 to 2024, followed by Passaic County (about 2,600). Among the restaurants in this guide, six are in Bergen County (Westwood, Englewood Cliffs, Carlstadt, Montvale, Teaneck and North Arlington) and three are in Camden County (Haddonfield and Cherry Hill). For the full list by town, browse Albanian restaurants in New Jersey in our directory.

No. This guide is not a ranking or formal review. Restaurants are listed based on their presence in the ALB Connection directory and community recognition. We encourage you to visit, form your own opinions, and share your favorites with the community.
6. How can I support Albanian-owned restaurants?
The best way to support these businesses is to visit them, leave positive reviews on Google and Yelp, share your experiences on social media, and recommend them to friends and family.

We have not verified halal status for any restaurant in this guide, and none of their websites that we checked advertise it. If halal meat matters to you, ask the restaurant directly before you go.
9. What is the most affordable Albanian-owned restaurant in NJ?
Pizzerias are the most casual and usually the least expensive option. In this guide that means Victor’s Pizzeria in Teaneck, and Casa D’Amici in North Arlington also serves pizza. In South Jersey, Amici in Cherry Hill lists prix fixe and express lunch menus on its website.

That is the fourth-highest estimate of any state, after New York, Michigan and Massachusetts; Florida’s estimate (about 17,500) is close behind and within the margin of error. Ancestry is self-reported, so this is a survey estimate, not a full count of everyone with Albanian roots. More detail is in our guide to Albanians in New Jersey.
