Vlora Restaurant Rushden in East Northamptonshire

Exellent food and service!Thank you very much to the greek waiter who made us feel so welcome!Definitely we'll come back.

Made my birthday the best Super generous with there drinks..Made me feel so special and I would yell anyone to go here

Lovely experience. Clean and tidy, comfortable setting, attentive staff but not hovering. Food was well cooked and delicious. A good selection to choose from and try. Will look forward to going back

The food at this restaurant is really delicious. When we talk about cuisine, my husband still compliments this location. The lamb was cooked to absolute perfection, and every dish we ordered was incredibly flavourful. If you are ever in Rushden, I would highly suggest visiting this location.

Second time here, because the first time was so good. Didn't disappoint- lamb chops amazing, sirloin streak delicious. You would be silly not to try it!

My parents and I have been to Vlora several times and we cannot fault it. We’ve tried the chilli and garlic king prawns, garlic mushrooms, hummus, lamb shank, moussaka, stuffed chicken breast, prawn casserole, mixed shish… and it has all been absolutely delicious. There is a really welcoming atmosphere and everyone is so so friendly. Thank you, and looking forward to our next visit 😊. If you haven’t been before, you must try it!

Love this restruant... food lush. Staff so lovely go above and beyond to help you. 5 star all the way x

Had a private party a while ago, amazing experience! Food and service were amazing!

First time visiting Vlora last night and absolutely amazing. The food was spectacular, the staff so friendly and welcoming and the cocktails were pretty good too! Will definitely be returning without a doubt.

incredible meal had last night at Vlora, food was absolutely superb and the staff so friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be returning.

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.

Beautiful decor. Friendly service. Fab food. Great value. 2 course lunch £12.00 A hidden treasure on Rushden High Street

The warmest of welcomes from Andy. Top service, top cocktails and a sophisticated getaway from Rushvegas!

Great food, so flavorful. Amazing service. And the house made baklava is must try ! My husband and I order a mixed hot maze to share, baba ghanosh and lamb shish to share. 💯💯

Amazing atmosphere, the staff couldn't do enough for us and the food was out of this world. We had the £12, 2 course lunch menu. Plenty to choose from and it was very tasty! We can't wait to try the evening menu 😁

Really lovely food and service - Rocky was an excellent host! The baba ghanoush was delicious, and the lamb was perfectly cooked, and fairly priced. Will definitely go again. Congratulations on the new addition to the family also.

Amazing food, delicious. Staff very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend

We walked out because the waiter took out order then refused to honour the lunchtime deal. I guess we weren't there target demographic. Edit: I have read the owners response, and I would like him to post the CCTV footage. Then everyone will see your empty restaurant, and how the waiter gave us the lunchtime deal menu of his own free will. Then took our order, then came back later to say that you wouldn't honour the order. Here is a screenshot of the menu. It doesn't say Monday to Friday, and we didn't request a bottomless brunch. We were happy to pay for the 3 drinks we ordered on top.I was there with my elderly father and his 84 year old neighbour. We just wanted the deal that was on the menu we were handed. So stop lying 🤥 it's just sad.

Brilliant Mediterranean food selection with specialities from Turkish, Greek, and Albanian dishes. The lunch selection is of particular note as the cost is very reasonable and the offerings are outstanding. Highly recommend and intend to visit again and again.

Me, my partner and my dad visited for the first the time - the service and food was amazing!!!! Could not have been treated better!!! Would 100% recommend this and I will be returning!!! Especially for the bottomless brunch!!!! Thank you!!! Amazing food amazing service loved tonight!!! xxx p.s my dad said how amazing the baclava was!! It is his favourite and tonight it was made to perfection!!!!

My wife and I came here and had a fantastic experience. We got the hot meze mix and were pleasantly surprised by how generous it was. The food was all delicious, especially the sucuk. The falafel was one of the best I've ever had.

Booked as a birthday meal. Arrived and asked where we would like to sit my the young very polite waitress. Our order was taken quickly and drinks arrived with 5/10 mins. We ordered rib-eye steaks which were cooked perfectly. The added extras on the plate, flat bread and veg really complemented the meal. We ordered home made baklava which was delicious. We had a discrepancy with our bill with extra drinks added. Once pointed out, the waitress dealt with this promptly and professionally, correcting the bill and apologising for the error. The whole experience was fantastic and perfect for a special birthday meal. We will definitely be returning. Thank you.

The food and service are always fantastic. Perfect for a date night or even just a nice night out with friends. Love the food, love the drinks, love the service!!

Very nice place delicious food highly recommended

Excellent food and service highly recommended

Definately recommended- service was great, though we did book an early time, food was delicious, our party had a a lovely time.

Been here few times now and every time has been perfect perfectly cooked food very good customer service Very cozy atmosphere highly recommend

Our first time here. Beautiful restaurant and very friendly waitresses. The food was amazing, lots of choice too. Also, there is a good selection of drinks. Will definitely go again. Plenty of parking near Splash swimming pool and then a short walk to the restaurant.

First time visiting. Really amazing food. My partner lived in Cyprus for a while and said the food was on par with there. Relaxed atmosphere. Really nice looking restaurant. Good price. Staff were lovely. Would go again! Sorry we didn't have cash for a tip 🫤

Absolutely amazing from start to finish. From the moment we were greeted by Andy to the end of our meal ,you couldn't fault it ,the food was beutifull the service by Andy and Nera was 2nd to none . We asked for the dessert menu at the end of our meal. We ordered Baklava Nera recommend it with a passion ,I then I then realised that Nera made it ,of which I new because of her passion for it. Highly recommend you try this restaurant you won't be disappointed.

Very beautiful place, staff, food was excellent. We enjoyed lunch time as was a spontaneous time . Recommend.

First visit and we were pleasantly surprised!!😍 Loved the food,😋, we visited lunchtime and the lunchtime offer was great! Had amazing food at very reasonable price!!!😊The restaurant looked very nice, toilets very clean, service was friendly. Would visit again!! 😊

Lovely evening here recently, loved the decor & atmosphere, food & service were amazing, already looking forward to going back very soon!

Absolutely fabulous food, very attentive staff and a great atmosphere, would definitely be back and would highly recommend .

Lovely clean restaurant, polite staff and of course fantastic food

This is a lovely restaurant with the best staff I've seen so far. The service was great. The food was also reasonably priced, and you are guaranteed to have a great time.

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.

Popped in on a whim, was aiming for Weatherspoons. Glad we did. Excellent tasty food. Great service. Very different bright interior to anything I've been in before. Hard to describe, kind of grand I guess. Home made taramasalata like it should be.

Food was Michelin quality, staff were super friendly and efficient. Well done Vlora, it's 3 stars from me, which is the maximum Michelin stars allowed.

4 friends on a Tuesday night , not very busy but it was in the week . Did fill up with a late Christmas party of quite a few people . Food was really good , the sharing starter we had was huge and delicious. Definitely will be returning !

Have visited this restaurant several times now and each time have come away happy. The staff are all very welcoming and friendly. The choice of food and drinks is good and the food itself is cooked to perfection. Highly recommend a visit here

The restaurant is nice and cosy, all the staff helpful and friendly and the food delicious 😋 🥂 We were here for dinner and the food came very quickly. The parking is on the main street (free after 7 pm). I would recommend it more for couples and not for families with children.

Very good food and lovely staff, best spot for food and cocktails in rushden would recommend a visit to everyone

Great service, Lovely atmosphere, tasty food and perfect cocktails 🙂 will definitely be dining here again.

First visit and it did not disappoint!! Can’t believe I’ve not been before now Excellent service and food!

Portions weren't great and very pricey considering. Tasted good though.

Lovely place, friendy staff, very helpful, very good service, very good food. Will be back.

Went out for a friends 60th. Food was amazing, and the service jovial and good. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a good night out in Rushden. Music in the venue is loud enough to give a vibe but not loud enough to intrude.

I'm very intrigued to enjoy a delicious evening at VLORA RESTAURANT TAPAS... I WAS IMPRESSED FROM THE COMMENTS I'M READING FROM DIFFERENT CUSTOMERS who speak the best words about everything there at you, at the same time seeing Saçà with fire, carbonation, embers, baking at the moment of freshness, everything... this makes me feel like I'm in my Laberina and not in the UK. I will soon visit this restaurant of my patriots and I will write my impression seriously. Good job the beasts of Vlora. God protect you. Goodbye soon. Cheers.

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.

Amazing food and service. Pasha was a great waiter and happy to help with any questions. Would definitely make another visit.

My daughter booked for my birthday with her partner and my son Absolutely perfect no faults at all Will definitely be back Thank you

My children took me here for my birthday. What can I say … absolutely fantastic!!! Food was hot and tasty Service was attentive and very helpful Thank you

Nice restaurant, food good but experience was totally ruined by couple sitting next to us who were clearly drunk and having a massive argument, they kept ordering cocktails and shots and were getting more abusive to each other the more they drank. Not a nice thing to witness and ruined our evening as it made me feel really uneasy

Loved everything...food, service, atmosphere.

Lunch deal was amazing value and the food was delicious! Will definitely return! Staff helpful and attentive!

Fantastic impromptu meal for 2 on Saturday early evening. Arrived without booking but we were seated as it was luckily still quiet. Food was absolutely delicious, freshly prepared and had so much flavour. They even sold a glass of wine from one that is usually sold per bottle. Service was excellent with very attentive staff, we had all vegetarian dishes and would highly recommend! 10/10 will definitely return!

Went again ..second time Thursday night when it was a little quite and the only reason 4 stars ...further into the evening tables filled up..which added to superb evening. We have the sharing platter for two ...lamb & chicken freshly grilled on bed of rice ...the flatbreads ...tadziki and humours all individually brought to the table ...it smells wonderful and tastes delicious. To have this restaurant on our high street is a wonder ...it's like being on holiday ...the staff are wonderful ...polite and everything and everybody is spotless...like you see on the movies! Thank you for another night out ..for no good reason other than we can't resist the food and charm 💐

Beautiful place, lovely food with excellent service. I've been here 2x now and will definitely comeback again with my friends. Instaworthy!

We booked a table of 4 + 1 for 18:45 on Friday evening, early as we had an 8 year old with us. The restaurant was already quite busy, a mix of couples and small groups. The restaurant is lovely. Really nice decor, comfortable chairs, lovely table & glassware, it's all very nice, modern, tastefully thought out. The menu is quite big and varied and includes grilled meats, fish, and veggies, 5 as main meals and sharing platters as well as tapas. We chose a platter for 4 and a couple of tapas. The portions are big!! I'm a big meat lover, and we all love a good-sized meal, but even between us, we couldn't finish it all! The platter was delicious - perfectly grilled lamb chops, lamb filet, chicken - everything was very, very tasty! The platter was £70, but seriously, 5 adults could easily share it. The drinks are a little on the expensive side, but for a nice meal out, it's definitely worth it. We struck lucky because there was also some entertainment on, a fire dancer, really good and kept the little one entertained. Service was also very good! We really enjoyed our evening and will definitely return.

By far the best restaurant I have been in Rushden , best food ever had, good custumer service , everything was just great

Great meal at Vlora on Friday night lovely food and lovely decor and service

Really nice food and good service. Highly recommended. Tapas style food with a hint of turkish. Will definitely be back.

Really great food and good service. Definitely recommend.

Literally just left this restaurant - decor was lovely, lighting was lovely, toilets were clean! Food was amazing! I was so impressed that I’ve already booked my next visit 😊 well done! Loved everything about this place!!

Good food and service, a little quiet, hope the restaurant will be well supported.

Amazing food great service lovely atmosphere i would recomend 100%

We visited Vlora for a midweek night out and were very impressed with our first visit. The restaurant is tastefully decorated and has a lovely ambience, the menu is appealing and all of the dishes that we ordered were delicious. The service from Pasha was attentive, professional and friendly. We feel very fortunate to have this wonderful venue in our locality and will certainly be back very soon.

Husband found this restaurant walking down the high street and we went for the first time this evening. Lovey decor, very friendly reception, even though we arrived during a family wedding celebration! We felt part of the family very quickly. We had the hot mixed meze to start and them 4 tapas between us, and were absolutely stuffed! Good menu selection for vegetarians too. The lamb, the prawns, the calamari, we just cannot pick a favourite, it was all beautifully cooked and well presented. Very attentive staff, especially Andy the owner, and the lovely girl behind the bar whose name we did not get. Thank you, we will be back soon.

Amazing food, great service. Shame the front door was left open and lots of smokers hanging around the door, might as well have been inside.

We had an incredible dinner, it was made extra special from Pasha. Pasha was a delight and made us feel extremely welcome. I would defiantly recommend.

What a great new restaurant in Rushden. Please support it. Great service, great food, good cocktails 🍸. 3 courses, cocktails a bottle of wine and coffee or hot chocolate. Would highly recommend, already thinking about my next visit🍷

Thoughly enjoy our evening, food fantastic, staff again fantastic

Surroundings, very classy and spotlessly clean. Had the mixed platter for 2 and it was very good. Waitress was very professional and attentive. Can thoroughly recommend this venue

Friendly, efficient staff, superb food, the best tapas I have had in the U.K. will be back soon and recommend highly to everyone.

Excellent food and service, second visit in 6 weeks, it’s great to have such a lovely restaurant so close. Lamb souvlaki some of the best I’ve eaten. Thanks from Jenny, Sami and Jacqui

Would recommend this establishment. Food is amazing, delicious cocktails are genuinely delicious. Friendly atmosphere, clean and tidy. Decor on point

Our first visit. Service was friendly and efficient. Food was very tasty ⭐ Reasonable prices Great cocktails Will be returning to try other food. Would recommend Thanks ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Visited for the first time last week (June 2023) and was really impressed with the warmth and hospitality offered by the hostess > Nicole I was with my partner and another couple - visited for drinks only. really impressed with the beverages on offer and...

Food ok but slightly disappointing

Excellent food (chicken shish perfect); an excellent Sauvignon Blanc (under £20); and the restaurant very well transformed from the old TSB Bank (why did that close?!). Just a pity there were not more people there - then the Atmosphere would have been upgraded. Very friendly service

Ordered Platter for 4. Excellent presentation and the meal was very tasty. Observation, another flatbread would have been welcomed as we had the meal served together. Friendly atmosphere and lovely clean surroundings. Will go again. Well done.

Amazing place and very nice foodies The staff are friendly Highly recommended

Wonderful place, food 10 points, service nice, friendly👌I recommend it to everyone♥️♥️♥️

Best food ever, great atmosphere, very experienced staff and really good people 🥳

Great place, definitely coming again.

The food was really good ,the place was really clean and perfect for a picture , and the people that was working there was kind and friendly I do recommend it 💞

Have been twice before ,tapas for lunch was good ,although tapas is Spanish not Turkish/Albanian . The night we went we had the hot meze for 4 for £70., chicken wings a kebab and lamb chops all placed on a load of rice on the...

What a fabulous place. Fantastic service and fantastic food. What more can you ask for?!! The place was packed and had a great atmosphere. V Will definitely return.

Excellent evening - food was great, staff attentive but not intrusive. The music was loud and the rice could have been warmer but that did not distract from the evening.

Highly recommended. Delicious food, amazing service. No words to describe how impressed I am.

Fabulous place. Great service and excellent food.

Excellent food great service and really lovely decor and ambiance, well done just what Rushden needed a really good restaurant.

Lovely food, great service and really lovely ambience, well done just what our high street needed, a decent restaurant. Excellent evening thank you.

Service very slow. Background music so loud you couldn't hold a conversation with your guests. My lamb kebab was so tough and grisly I had to remove it to side of my plate. An empty plate was removed from my friend whilst the rest of the party were still eating! Portions were minimal but wine was very reasonably priced. Restaurant was full to capacity but only one member of staff taking orders, with only 3 others serving tables. Decor gives the Vlora and nice ambience. The evening ended up being expensive for poor quality.

Food was delicious and the service was excellent and very friendly! Would definitely come here again and will be recommending it to family and friends. I had the salmon and it was cooked perfectly.

Lovely service and food x Happy to recommend for a lovely night out. Only downside was the waiter not checking if we needed more drinks. There was 9 of us so they kinda missed a trick there.

Have been walking past this new restaurant since it open and finally got to book last Friday. The service at first was quite slow, but the staff were very apologetic. Good choice of meals. Could of been a little bit more warmer as the Rice...

Popped in while we was passing through and we are so glad we found this place. Food was good and the service is great. Definitely will be going back.
