Shkodra Byrek

Shkodra Byrek at 338 Washington Street serves Albanian food, beginning with the layered savory pies in its name. Fillings include beef and onion, spinach and feta, or cheese and yogurt. Try mantia for baked meat dumplings with garlic-yogurt sauce, or tavë kosi for lamb baked with yogurt. The menu also includes stuffed cabbage, grilled fish and a selection of dips and pickled vegetables. This is the full-service Dedham restaurant; the business’s takeout-and-catering location is in Braintree.
