 | | Although the majority of Albanians are Muslim, this restaurant serves a number of pork dishes, of which we tried biftek derri me patata ($11.75), a couple of lean pork-tenderloin slices in another liptao-based cream sauce, with excellent roast potatoes and another salad of pickled roast vegetables. |
 | | Troftë tavë ($14.95), described as "a true Albanian tradition," is a baked whole rainbow trout in what I would think of as a Dalmatian sauce of plum tomatoes, onions, lemon slices, and bay leaves, not unlike the Croatian baked fish served in some of the old restaurants of San Francisco. |
 | | We had the same enthusiastic waitress both visits, a new hire, who was also of Albanian background and excited to be serving the food of her heritage. |
