Burger King Tirana: Locations, Hours and Prices

Yes, there is Burger King in Tirana. The chain arrived in Albania in June 2019 with a first restaurant at the QTU shopping centre. Its ad agency confirms a branch in Blloku. Directories list more: one near Skanderbeg Square, others on Rruga e Dibrës and Rruga e Barrikadave, and outlets in the QTU and TEG malls. You can also order through Wolt. Budget about 500 to 1,000 lek (ALL) per person. Hours are messier: most branches open at 10am, but closing time is 11pm, midnight or 2am depending on which source you trust. I checked all of it on 1 November 2026, and I say below which addresses hold up and which don’t.

Looking for Artigiano in Tirana? Artigiano is not a burger chain. It is an Italian and Mediterranean restaurant that opened in Tirana in 2013 and bakes its bread in a wood-fired oven every day (artigiano.al). It has two locations: one on Rruga Abdyl Frashëri at the University Bookstore junction in Blloku, and Artigiano at Vila, Rruga Papa Gjon Pali II 9, Tiranë 1001. In Your Pocket files it under Italian food: homemade pasta, wood-fired pizza, gourmet burgers and seasonal salads. The burgers are a side note on an Italian menu. If you want a burger chain in Tirana, this guide covers the big one, Burger King.

Is there Burger King in Albania?

Burger King has operated in Albania since 2019. Its first restaurant opened in early June 2019 at the QTU shopping centre in Tirana (Wikipedia, list of Burger King franchise countries). Around May 2026, a Burger King Albania job ad on punesim.com put the count at 12 restaurants and about 220 employees nationwide. That is the company’s own figure. I found no second source to check it against.

I found seven Tirana addresses across directories, and some of them are probably the same restaurant listed twice. On 1 November 2026, the official site, burgerking.al, would not load. That leaves the Burger King Albania Facebook page as the most reliable official channel. For the chain’s history and worldwide figures, see our Burger King brand profile.

Burger King Tirana locations

The table lists every Burger King address in Tirana that appears in at least one source, and how far I could confirm it. No source gives a full official list, and directories disagree on addresses. Check the Facebook page or Wolt before you cross town for one.

Map of central Tirana. The marker is on Skanderbeg Square. The Burger King addresses in this guide are Piazza on Rruga Dedë Gjo Luli, just off the square; Blloku on Rruga Sami Frashëri, south of the centre; Rruga e Dibrës 31, north of the square; and Rruga e Barrikadave, in the centre. QTU (Tirana–Durrës motorway, Kashar) lies off the map to the west. Tirana East Gate (Lundër, about 4 km / 2.5 miles) lies off the map to the south-east. Statuses were checked on 1 November 2026.

A word on those ratings. The Google figures come through Restaurant Guru and Wanderlog, not from Google Maps directly. TripAdvisor blocked my access, so its numbers come from search snippets. Ten or fifteen reviews tells you very little, so treat them as rough signals.

Burger King near Skanderbeg Square

The Burger King closest to Skanderbeg Square is the Piazza branch on Rruga Dedë Gjo Luli, a short walk from the square. Restaurant Guru lists it as open from 10am to midnight every day, with seating, takeaway and Wolt delivery. It is also the only listing that mentions wheelchair access and paid parking nearby. If you are sightseeing in the centre, this is the one to go to.

Burger King in Blloku

Burger King in Blloku is on Rruga Sami Frashëri, and it is the only Tirana branch I could tie to the chain itself. Its opening was backed by a campaign called “Fire in BLLOK”, made by the agency Gogel Publicis. Blloku is Tirana’s bar and café district, and Artigiano’s Blloku restaurant is a few streets away on Rruga Abdyl Frashëri.

Burger King in Tirana’s shopping malls

Two Burger King restaurants are in malls outside the centre. QTU is on the Tirana–Durrës motorway in the Kashar area. Tirana East Gate, which opened on 26 November 2011, is in Lundër, about 4 km from the centre. TEG’s food court also has KFC, Pizza Hut, Popeyes and Firehouse Subs. Neither mall is worth the taxi just for a Whopper. Go if you are already shopping there.

Burger King Tirana opening hours

Most Tirana branches open at 10am. Closing time is where sources split: 11pm (novacircle), midnight (Restaurant Guru, Piazza branch) or 2am (TripAdvisor and Wanderlog, Barrikadave branch). The chain publishes no official hours per branch. Every source agrees you are fine before 11pm. After that, check the branch in the Wolt app before you head out.

Late-night fast food in Tirana

For a late-night burger in Tirana, Burger King’s latest reported closing time is 2am, at the Rruga e Barrikadave branch according to Wanderlog. I would not bet on it, because that is one directory against two others. Likos Burger is the safer choice: In Your Pocket lists it on Rruga e Kavajës, at the corner of Rruga Babë Rexha, open from 6am to 2am (In Your Pocket). It also uses all-beef patties, where many local burger stands use a qofte-style patty.

Burger King Tirana menu and prices

Expect to pay about 500 to 1,000 lek (ALL) per person at Burger King in Tirana, according to Restaurant Guru’s Piazza listing. Albania uses the lek, not the euro. I wanted the price of a Whopper and a Whopper meal, but the chain’s website was down and Wolt’s menu pages would not load on 1 November 2026. I would rather leave those prices out than print a guess.

The menu follows the international Burger King lineup built around the flame-grilled Whopper. For what goes into it, see our Whopper ingredients and copycat recipe. For this year’s limited editions, see the new Burger King Whoppers of 2026.

Vegetarian and plant-based options

Several reviews of the Rruga e Barrikadave branch mention a plant-based Impossible Burger, according to Wanderlog. I could not find it on a current Albanian menu, so ask at the counter or check Wolt before you count on it.

Delivery and online ordering

Burger King is listed as a brand on Wolt Tirana, so you can order online for delivery. Restaurant Guru also lists Wolt delivery for the Piazza branch. Directories give +355 69 707 7776 and info@burgerking.al as general contacts for Burger King Albania.

Burger King Tirana reviews

Reviewers mostly praise the speed and the hot food. The most common complaint is price, which is higher than at local fast-food places. These themes come up again and again on Restaurant Guru, Wanderlog and novacircle:

• Praised: fast service, food served hot, friendly staff who sometimes speak English, clean and modern dining rooms, and a terrace or balcony at some branches.
• Criticised: prices “a bit higher than local fast food”, slow service at peak times, wrong orders, dry nuggets and short staffing. One review singles out the Toptani branch.

My take: Burger King in Tirana is a safe, familiar fallback near Skanderbeg Square or at 11pm when you are hungry. It is not a reason to eat a burger in Tirana. For the same money or less, the independent burger bars below have more to say, and a bukë me qofte from a street stand tells you more about the city.

Bukë me qofte: grilled Albanian qofte in a rustic flatbread, with sliced red onion and spices. This is the local street-food rival to a chain burger in Tirana.

Where to eat a burger in Tirana instead of a chain

Travel press regularly names these independent burger places among Tirana’s best: Roby’s Burger, 8 Street Burgers, Smash Burger Tirana, DeliBros and Chico’s (Enjoy Travel). Likos Burger stands out for its all-beef patties and its 6am-to-2am hours. For neighbourhood tips and every guide we publish on the city, read our Tirana burger guide.

How I checked this guide

I built this guide from the sources linked in each section and checked every one on 1 November 2026: the chain’s ad agency and Facebook page, Wikipedia, Wolt, Restaurant Guru, Wanderlog, novacircle, TripAdvisor and In Your Pocket. I did not visit these branches for this piece, so it gives no Burger Breton rating. Where sources disagreed on hours or addresses, I show every version and mark what is unconfirmed. Our guides to chain outposts in other cities use the same method: see Burger King in Chiang Mai and Burger King in Palermo, or browse all our restaurant guides.
