The cafe is very cheap - the main meal costs £4-9 pounds - a bargain! The drinks are cheap as well- I paid a pound for a tea. The place is not posh, however, if you are looking for a simple home-made meal - you found the right place. They do takeaway as well!

The interior is decked out rather like a winter log cabin. Sheepskin, draped over each chair and cute, cosy wooden tables with white embroidered placemats. The waiting staff wear matching embroidered shirts. It reminded me of the alps/Oktoberfest. We wanted to try as much as we could fit in, so instead of mains, we ordered a selection of starters including a soup each. While the presentation was superb, I found the actual food too salty. Highlights were beetroot soup with mushroom-filled rolls in the side. And the cabbage dumplings. I wanted to give Karczma more stars but the food just didn't blow me away. I can imagine this is a fun place to bring a group in the evening, though - allowing the opportunity to tear into some hefty sharing options. And knock back a few vodkas. I'd like to come back and try the mains, perhaps the real stars of the Polish culinary show.

A fun experience. I've visited three times now and always had a good time…read more The Karczma is in the Polish millenial centre but has its own entrance. You can find it by turning left under the bridge behind Moor St station and then taking the second road on the right. Inside you will find a cosy restaurant with a straw ceiling, wooden tables with crochet tablecloths and other traditional polish decorations. It's quite cheesy but effective. Food is hearty and trsditional, probably not much for vegetarians. We had a sharing trough for 6-8 people last time so I've tried a great deal now. The dumplings are delicious, as is the stuffed chicken. Sides of sourkraut, beetroot and potato are super too. It isn't refined cooking but it is good, hearty and fun. They have a great vodka selection too. The mint and lime is lovely to sip neat. They also have mead and polish beer. Service is warm and helpful. I visited in a group of 13 last week and they were wonderful, even giving a free drink to the birthday girl. A great experience!

Interesting place, this one - I dont know of any other Polish restaurants, certainly locally, and…read moreeven nationwide. I was taken along for an evening to celebrate a birthday with a couple of Polish employees not really being sure what to expect. As it turned out, it was a very enjoyable evening. The food may sound unappealing in some cases (and I'm assured that it really is authentic polish cooking) but its really quite nice, and there are dishes here that you'll struggle to find in other restaurants. Prices are reasonable, service is friendly and very competent, and a good evening was had by all - If you're going, consider giving the vodka ice cream a try! Recommended, and we've been back a few times since.

Gluten free is labelled on the menu under a small section, which basically only includes grilled cod, salmon, or chicken with rice and salad, I really didn't like this because there wasn't much choice for gluten free, it just was really basic, for example they just sold grilled products hence even the menu leaved a lot to be desired as what was on the menu sounded like it would lack flavour. I was also upset with the poor range of sides being gluten free, as brown rice and salad were the only options. Service here also seemed quite poor, I had to walk all the way down to find a member of staff to serve me, who lacked confidence and a great knowledge of gluten free, she tried to point out the small section on the menu, which I had to point out to her and I can't understand why it would be classed as a "Gluten free menu" when it was a section on the menu, probably as small as Liverpool's title chances this season. Due to really poor service, a poor choice for gluten free and the slightly overpriced nature, I sadly feel Baltic Cellar Grill in Bolton's The Vaults, deserves a single one star rating.

I remember passing Baltic Cellar in Manchester City Centre a few years ago, and thinking how it…read morelooked like the sort of place I'd really like to give a try, as I enjoy European food, but when I eventually came to look into it and visit, I found it had closed. Booooo! But when I was recently passing through The Vaults area of Bolton Market Place, I saw a sign saying that Baltic Cellar was opening there soon... right near home! Fantastic! So I finally got to visit. Baltic Cellar is a grill restaurant which specialises in Polish, Russian, and Baltic foods. which means hearty meaty foods usually, and speciality drinks. As you walk in, you see that the décor is modern with abundant wood cladding and warm tones, but with nods in theming to traditional elements with taxidermy, pine cone decorations, and traditional art. Music is background and unintrusive, which coupled with the dim lighting and wooden tones makes the space feel cosy and relaxed. We're greeted and seated promptly. The menu is full of delicious options in starters, mains, and a grill section, as well as a gluten free section and childrens section. There's also an extensive drinks menu. For our starter we choose to try 'The Tower' which is fried Lithuanian brown bread with cheese and garlic, and Zhulian, which is a fried mushroom casserole with chicken, onion, double cream, and baked cheese. Whilst waiting for our food we looked in the drinks menu and saw some great non-alcoholic options (as we don't drink), and it was nice to see that the cuisine type even extended to soft drinks, allowing us to order some drinks we'd never tried before. We ordered Tarhun, which is described as a green lemonade, and Kvas, which is listed as a malt drink. We didn't know much about these drinks so looked them up whilst waiting for our starters. It turns out "green lemonade" is an underestimation for how green this drink was! It turns out its made with flavours of tarragon and woodruff, and is wonderfully refreshing and tasty. I was really impressed. Kvas it turns out is made with fermented sourdough bread, which we found surprising. The taste is truly unique, starting with a similar flavour to something like Dandelion and Burdock or Root Beer, and ending up with a flavour similar to having eaten a Cadbury Roses coffee centred chocolate. Both were really tasty, and we'd order again them again next time for certain. The starters arrived. The Tower living up to its name of a Jenga tower of delicious crunchy batons of brown bread, with melted cheese dribbled over the top. It was very good, and very moreish. It worked really well with the cheese, but I bet would work equally well with some dips or liquid cheese. The Zhulian was delicious and creamy, and full of flavour. It came with a slice of bread, but would benefit from a few more, but it turns out the Tower's bread batons work very well indeed with it! For our main we decided to order the mixed grill, which was recommended for two people to share. This took a little longer to arrive than expected, but given the comfy atmosphere of the venue, this was fine. Our waitress also came over to let us know that it wouldn't be too much longer, which was appreciated. The mixed grill comprises of pork rib, lamb, chicken, pork neck loin, two sausages, and was served with any two sides, and any two sauces. We chose potato wedges and spicy rice as our sides, and Baltic sauce and 'green' sauce as our sauces. These sauces didn't sound like they were going to be anything special but they were truly delicious, and really enjoyable to dunk the various meats in to see which worked best. The Baltic sauce was made with ketchup, mayonnaise, coriander, dill and garlic, and so had a Thousand Island feel but with extra depth. The 'green' sauce was gherkins, coriander, dill, mayonnaise, and garlic, and had a wonderfully fresh and creamy taste to it. The food itself was excellent. The mixed grill was filling and tasty. Everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked, with the rib meat falling off the bone. The sides were tasty and fresh too. I'd love to say that we tried one of the delicious Baltic desserts, but the starters, mixed grill and sides were so very filling that we simply didn't have the room! The value was also very good, not even coming close to breaking the bank, with special offers mentioned on flyers and menus, and lunchtime offers. We were both thoroughly impressed with Baltic Cellar and will definitely return. We know several people who will really enjoy it here, and we recommend it if you enjoy hearty and fresh food in a pleasant environment.
