Restorant Lulash Zelna is located in Ndërlysaj, right alongside the river and just before the start of the hike to Blue Eye Theth. It’s a very convenient place to stop either before heading out or, even better in my opinion, after the hike when you’re ready to sit down and cool off. The riverside setting is the real highlight here, with tables beside the water and a relaxed mountain atmosphere.

The food is simple and decent rather than anything fancy, but it hits the spot after a long walk. I’d personally recommend sticking with the local-style dishes such as their fish with fries, fresh salads, and other straightforward options.

This is the kind of place you come for the setting more than a gourmet experience. If you want a peaceful table by the river, fresh air, and an easy post-hike meal in one of the most scenic parts of northern Albania, it’s a solid stop.
