I came here to say the truth & nothing but the truth, Amen. Even though I am sure my grandmother & great-grandmother are gonna spit on my head from heaven... it feels almost illegal to say what I am about to say, lol...
So I bought these pierogies from you guys in my childhood Ukrainian store where my family, even my grandparents, were also buying their pierogies. I didn't know it was Polish or made in MTL (which is cool btw). & NOW I can never go back. It's too late; it's like you guys ruined my childhood memories, no joke.
Knowing I tasted them for the first time today, after by mistake*** of course having them defrosted in the fridge for 2 days (*je sais sacrilège*** listen I was busy, I came to cook them straight out of the freezer & I placed them in the fridge cuz something came up, so forget it... so ME not wasting food, still plastic packed... like who cares). So I realized quick enough they were sourdough handmade too late; I guess you can imagine the fat from the pierogies being out. I made them boil even if it created a mess. I even tried to cook them after on the skillet; it was mochi-like ravioli sticky, but you know what? The smell was so incredible, even looking like shit, I had to taste them even if I was not hungry.
Guess what? It costs me to admit it, but they were the best pierogies I have ever tasted in my life.
To a point where I came to ask myself: is it that we are all too proud that we keep saying we have the best, or that all my grandparents never tasted or wanted to admit Polish are maybe the best? Cuz now I will never be able to go back. Now I know it, it's over. I will even have to learn to make them by hand by myself to restore my ancestral pierogies to compete with you guys. It's gonna take ages & a lot of dishes to clean, all because of you, but now I have no choice. I will never be able to eat Ukrainian pierogies like before, knowing what I tasted today & how good it was. I hate that I love you too much, but it's true. Go buy their pierogies, they are incredible... for now. xox
P.S.: Only point, maybe putting the cardboard with the ingredients on the outside of the packages could be a good idea for people who defrost them by mistake lol. Thank you!

They have a cozy vibe that showcases Polish culture & cuisine. Even with takeout-& a bag of frozen pierogies-everything tasted great.

If you're looking for a place that feels like stepping back in time-in the best way possible-Euro Deli Batory absolutely delivers.

From the moment you walk in, there's this unmistakable vintage charm that's getting harder & harder to find these days. It has that old-school deli atmosphere-unpretentious, welcoming, & full of character-where the focus is exactly where it should be: great food & genuine hospitality.

Speaking of the food, the pricing is refreshingly fair. In a time where many spots seem to be pushing the limits, this place keeps it real. You get generous portions that actually leave you satisfied, & you never feel like you're overpaying. It's the kind of value that makes you want to come back regularly, not just for special occasions.

The staff deserves a shoutout too-friendly, attentive, & warm without being overbearing. They make you feel like a regular even if it's your first visit, which really adds to the overall experience.

Cleanliness is clearly a priority here. The entire establishment is spotless, which just reinforces the sense that they take pride in what they do-from the kitchen to the dining area.

The only small note I'd mention is the pierogies. They weren't pan-fried as expected, which would have added that extra crisp & texture. That said, they were still enjoyable & full of flavor, so it didn't take away from the experience in any major way.

All in all, this is the kind of place that sticks with you. Great atmosphere, fair prices, hearty portions, & genuinely kind people. I'll definitely be coming back-& next time, I'm bringing friends & family along for the ride.

First time trying Batory & everything was as delicious as homemade Polish food. We got the Polski talerz , two kinds of pierogi, cherry cake, paczki, barley soup, go?abki (3 per order in the meal option), & the potato patties (3 large ones per order). The order arrived with fresh rye bread & butter. Everything is so fresh & the portions are generous. The staff is also very nice. This is our new favourite Polish place to order from, we will be ordering again.

The tripe soup & potato pancakes are amazing. I tried Polish plate & pierogi before, it was pretty good, little different from what I'm used to. Extra point for food being always accompanied with rye bread & butter, sour cream & salad

I'm very pleased with this hidden jam. The food is healthy & handmade by the owner. She told me she was personally making pierogi & bigos, & they are very good, fulfilling, & remind me of home. Even better, my mom wasn't cooking nearly as well as the owner. I also tried a kielbasa, & it's very good. I wish there was a better choice of cold cuts & fresher cakes, but well, you can't have everything. I also appreciate the design of the walls. :D. It's a classic old-fashioned Polish design, sticking out in the modern era, where the walls are white with some neon lighting. Here we have the Polish pope & boazeria, widely popular in the'80s. I'm happy to recommend this place.
