A little bit of luxury in Rushden. So much attention to detail, from the decor to the way the food is presented. The staff were also very friendly and clearly passionate about making sure you have a good experience. Food was absolutely delicious and the baklava was the best I've ever had. Will definitely visit again!

Very polite staff and friendly. Very clean and lovely surroundings. The starter was excellent and main was cooked to perfection. Desert was nice taste but ice cream had lots of hard bits but overall excellent place. Really impressed thank you for a nice evening.

We tend to go to restaurants on quieter nights as the service is usually better and you don’t feel so hurried if there are people waiting for tables. So we headed to Vlora on a Wednesday at about 6ish. We were the only diners, but that is no reflection on the restaurant or the food. Friendly greeting and a choice of tables is always a good start. As there were just 2 of us (we left the hoard at home) we ordered a few things we knew we’d like. To be fair we probably ordered too much but taking home the leftovers is a tradition our little ones (now not so little) look forward too when we sneak out on a date night. There wasn’t one dish that wasn’t spot on, tasty and moorish. I knew from the first taste of calamari that I was going to be full when leaving. The chicken and mushroom risotto and the chicken Cokertme were absolute stand outs from the tapas. The lamb shish and house special for mains certainly didn’t disappoint. It’s nice having a good quality eatery practically on our doorstep (well a 15 min walk) that doesn’t involve copy and paste restaurants that you find at places like Rushden lakes. Highly recommended.

We attended for our first visit for a client business dinner. The restaurant/cocktail bar is clean and well appointed with clean toilets. We were served by Nicole who was attentive, friendly and professional, a real asset to the business. We look forward to attending again soon.

Me and my girlfriend recently celebrated our birthday and it was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we stepped in the atmosphere set the tone for a perfect evening for us and our guests. The food was the highlight of the night - every dish was a masterpiece. From the starter to the main everything was phenomenal. They even done a little show for us and our guests with the Argentinian steak. What truly elevated the experience was the service. The staff went above and beyond to make our celebration special.They even surprised us with a thoughtful birthday touch, which added a personal and memorable touch to the evening. We left feeling thoroughly impressed and grateful for such a wonderful experience and thank you for that! We can’t wait to return!
