Si découvrir les recettes traditionnelles de la Pologne à travers l'assiette "débutant" est intéressante, je dois dire que je n'ai pas été impressionné par leurs goûts & leurs couleurs...Sinon bon service par une sympathique équipe de jeunes & belle ambiance "très " tamisée. Super aussi de manger à la vodka !

This is the closer you can get to authentic Polish food, it brings back good memories from that beautiful country & their traditional dishes. Portions & prices are more than honest for the quality you get. We had the chance to listen to the live piano set while eating dinner, great atmosphere! Don't forget to get a few vodka shots between courses: Na Zdrowie!

Pierogi was nothing special. Just perogis. The sznycel was not good at all. The meat was tough & chewy, the coating was not crispy, & it was falling apart from the meat. Also, there were some parts that was just coating without meat. Beer that we ordered came after the dish after we reminded them. I do not recommend this place.

we went in at 12h10(lunch) on a saturday. within a few minutes only, people started flowing in.

when our food started coming in, we understood why; simple yet VERY tasty food. We had an app of perogies, wife took a strogonow, i went with the kielbasa.

I usually don't take time to write reviews, but this one is more than deserved! we. will. be. going. again.

this place is a hidden gem!
