Baba's Pierogies is a cozy establishment with a warm and clean first impression. There is only a handful of tables, but when I visited on a Sunday evening around 7:30pm, I was seated immediately without a wait. The server was friendly and helpful with my questions on the menu. I got the Bryndzové which is their traditional Pierogi. I got it prepared as recommended, which is boiled and with bacon. It was tasty! The bacon definitely adds a salty bite to mellow out the richness of the pierogi. I was worried the sheep cheese would be too pungent, but it wasn't. The filling I chose only comes as a full order of 9. If you are torn between a couple choices, I would do two half orders of 5. On the side I got their Fresh Cut Fries. These were excellent. I love a fry, and these checked every box for me. They were well salted though. If you have any aversion to salt, I would ask for light salt. Hoping to return again before my Brooklyn trip is over - there's several more I want to try! read more

Solid local spot! Came here with my pierogi pals to share a bunch of bites. My thoughts: - Mac and cheese pierogies weren't for me, but my friend loved them so would say comes down to personal preference... next time I'd try jalapeno I think! - mamas fave were freaking fantastic - potato pancakes good but not particularly noteworthy - sliders I wish had more meat, the roll and onion really overpowered in my opinion - didn't get to try the schnitzel bites since they were out, but definitely want to come back to give them a try - chocolate pierogies were fun! served with housemade whipped cream - friendly service, didn't feel rushed at all - a little pricey but would gladly pay extra to support family/local biz All in all, would recommend! read more

Well, after a few years of being away I finally returned to find this place is still doing great things on their menu. Between then and now, I can't have dairy anymore, but that's just fine because their was plenty for me to choose from. I ended up going with the mystery vegan pierogies with sour cream and not pictured was a bowl of golden beats. Getting to taste a little bit of everything really hit the spot: vegan mac n cheese, vegan jalapeno, and vegan potato. It's a really cute location (still) and honestly it feels very inviting and comforting inside if you choose to stay and eat. My server was great and kind. If you're looking for some comfort food or a cool new place to check out, highly recommend coming here. read more

Just rolled into town after a flight delay and was absolutely starving. Lucky for me, Baba's Pierogies was only a block from my hotel. Inside, the space is clean, quiet, and welcoming, with family photos that lean into their Eastern European roots. I grabbed a couple of the $15 lunch specials so I could try a few different items. Here's my rundown. Soup: Baba's potato soup hit like a warm hug, well-spiced, and exactly what I needed after a long travel day. Pierogies (Chef's Choice): I ended up with the classic potato pierogies. It was a knockout: fluffy interior, perfectly fried exterior. Simple yet satisfying. Kielbasa: It brought the smoke and the snap, this is not your supermarket Hillshire Farms situation. The mustard sauce was the ideal partner: creamy, tangy, and just sharp enough to cut through the richness. More Pierogies (Chef's Choice): I also ended with bacon‑cheese‑potato pierogies. No regrets. So good The $15 special is a fair value. Baba's is absolutely worth the stop if you are looking for something different for lunch. read more

Stopped in for lunch after eyeing this place for quite some time. Omgosh it was a delight! The jalapeño pierogis are incredible. We got them pan fried and they were crispy on the outside but perfectly fluffy and tender on the inside. We also got the kielbasa served with cabbage and sauerkraut. Everything was delicious! read more

Pleasantly surprised by this shop! I walked in expecting overpriced and small portions and instead received hand made, fresh, filling servings of pierogies. We got the jalapeño fried and the bacon cheddar boiled. Will definitely be back to try more flavors! read more

I came here a while back with my boyfriend since we were in the area and found this place ! We got the fried schnitzel balls, pierogis, and Mac salad. They had a deal of mystery pierogis so we got that and it was really fun! I think we ended up getting sauerkraut, Mac and cheese, and potatoes. Outside of the food, the staff was nice and friendly, and vibe was cute. I was a well-rounded place and would like to come back! read more

Wow, this was tasty! I had not been back at this place in a very long time and was really taken by the quality of the food. So good! 4 stars. But only 1 star for serving food in plastic. WHY PLASTIC ??? I don't want to eat plastic. Why not put the apple sauce and the cream on the plate? Why would that be a problem? And if the obsessive-compulsives of this word really have to have the applesauce and cream separated, they can ask for it. And the restaurant can use metal cups for that purpose. Please stop serving plastic to your customers and stop trashing the planet. PS: Service was very, very pleasant. read more

We had the mystery pierogies, crunchy chocolate pierogies, and golden beet salad. It was all good. The crunchy chocolate tasted just like Nutella. My wife only dislikes that the whipped cream was basically butter. But I don't mind whipped cream that whipped. It was all so fulfilling and yummy. read more

The word "slider" appearing on a menu could set off a Fusion Warning alarm, but even if a few descriptions hint at Sackett St. rather than Slovakia, this is clearly a powerhouse of Eastern European flavors. The cabbage soup is an excellent kielbasa-fueled concoction. The Prince Albert pierogis have an intense hit of black garlic. Will certainly be soon. As a fan of gambling and randomness, I'm sure to check the "mystery" pierogi combo. read more

pierogies are solid but wish there was a bit more variation in the flavors offered. we tried a few flavors but everything tasted like some combination of potato and cheese with trace amounts of other flavor. my favorite was the bacon cheddar even though i usually enjoy trying new flavors. at about $2 per pierogie, it was a bit underwhelming and it wasnt as filling as id hoped. might just be too easy to compare them to dumplings which are bigger and a third the price. read more

This spot takes top for my favorite pierogi's I've had in NYC. Amazing classic AND unique filling options, perfectly chewy but slightly crispy outside. The latkes were also delicious. Lunch special is the perfect amount of food and a great way to sample their menu. I also loved the vegetable soup and I'm not even a big soup fan. I wish they delivered to my house! So so so good. read more

Food was great! Maybe our choices for boiled sauerkraut pierogis was the wrong choice, and maybe we should have chosen the applesauce for our dip, but otherwise it was good. The restaurant was pretty on the inside and the server was super nice. read more

We were craving pierogies & this was the best place to fulfill it! We ordered many things to share: 1) Baba's Potato Pierogies (one of their signature pierogies, boiled), 2) Bacon Cheddar Potato Pierogies (fried), 3) Sloppy Kielbasy, 4) Schnitzel Bites, 5) Lemonade drink. Baba's Potato Pierogies (boiled) - This is one of their signature pierogies & it was honestly super divine! This was the best pierogie I have eaten! The potato & american cheese melted in your mouth. Highly recommended! Bacon Cheddar Potato Pierogies (fried) - This was one of their top sellers & it was very delicious! It tasted like bacon cheddar and potatoes. But the star was that baba's pierogies!! Sloppy Kielbasy (pork sloppy joe on brioche bun,that comes w/ a side of fries + your chose of a small salad of beets or cucumbers). I always loved sloppy joe as a kid & I was craving it so I got this to try it. Their sloppy joe was on the sweeter side (I like it more savory/saltier). The bioche bun was so soft and delicious + that fries was amazzzing!! I would just order a side of that fries next time! Super crunchy on the outside & soft and mushy on the inside! I chose the small salad of cucumbers & it was very vinegary & refreshing. Schnitzel bites (ground pork + chicken breaded and deep fried, comes w/ a small side mac+cheese salad) - It was not as flavorful as I would have wanted it to be, but definitely super meaty to eat. The mac+cheese salad was delicious. Lemonade drink - The lemonade was good, but a bit on the diluted side so it tasted like watered down lemonade. The staff was very friendly & nice. There are a few tables for indoor seating. Highly recommend the baba's pierogies & the french fries!! read more

Baba's Pierogies are honestly really good, plus the service is fantastic as well. I got the mystery bag and liked every single flavor I got. However, my favorite would easily be the spinach and feta. On top of this, the server is an absolute doll (forgot her name but she has bangs and is a gem). I will definitely be going back if I'm in the area and might grab some frozen ones to go as well. read more

I love their pierogies so much! My most favorite is the baba's potato pierogies which is their signature. The potato & american cheese really melted in your mouth. I also got to try the bacon cheddar potato pierogies (fried), sloppy kielbasy, schitnzel bites & a lemonade drink. The fried bacon cheddar potato pierogies was good but it did not beat that baba's potato pierogies! The sloppy kielbasy was good but it was a bit on the sweet side. I loved the fries that comes w/ this! I would reorder the fries!! The schitzel bites was good but a bit too meaty for me. Liked the mac&cheese salad. The lemonade drink was a bit diluted so it was ok. Staff was very friendly & nice. There are a few tables for indoor seating. read more

Which is:served on a fresh delicious roll. Wow the food is good! I'll be back read more

Oh my goodness this place was fantastic! Not a single complaint. Small intimate interior but very welcoming! Our server was such a sweetheart and very personable!

It breaks my heart that i'm not local or I'd come here all the time read more

Honestly don't get the raves. I've had great pierogies at places like Ukrainian Restaurant in the East Village and Chris's in Bensonhurst and these didn't measure up at all. Had the traditional potato and they were just slightly better than a box of Mrs Ts,bland,kinda greasy and a whole lot more expensive. Having to pay extra for onions is also not cool and the onions were terrible and gave me indigestion. 1 and done for this place. read more

I'm from Eastern Europe and I know pierogi. Potato cheese are my favorite but not the Baba's. Inside was runny, potatoes might have been overly and not dried before adding cheese. My advice: in addition to treating potatoes better as and add a whole egg. Any self respecting Polish/Ukrainian cook knows that. But the lady making pierogi really looked the part, was terrific to watch. By the was the word Pierogi is already plural. read more

I live in Connecticut and came to visit my daughter in New York City and told her that for Mother's Day weekend, all I wanted to do was go get pierogies. Not just any pierogies, I wanted jalapeno. So, of course, we had to travel to Brooklyn to Babas. I was not disappointed. I thoroughly enjoyed the jalapeno, Mac and cheese, and farmer cheese. My daughter got an order of the spinach and feta and loved them. Don't come here if you're in a hurry. They're all made fresh to order, so service is a bit slower. But well worth the wait. Cute little place with great choices... I can't wait to come back. read more

Fantastic pierogies! Handmade and absolutely stuffed with filling. We shared the jalapeño pierogies as well as the spinach and feta ones. We had the jalapeno ones pan fried while the others one boiled. Both styles were great. I'd recommend trying an order of each preparation. They're pricey at over $2 per dumpling for an order of 5, yet worthwhile in my opinion. We dined in; the service was quick and friendly. They had a few beers on draft including a generous half liter pour of Czechvar aka Czech Budweiser. It's a small and cozy restaurant. read more

A lovely lunch! This pierogi place is so cute and clean. The waitress assumed the role of host and sat us down. The menu is simple and short but still hard to choose because everything sounds good. We ordered Mom's Fav, Spinach and Feta, and Bryndzové Pirohy with bacon added. Each were so delicious. The dumplings were perfectly cooked. The spinach and feta really packed in the flavor and the bryndzové pirohy was to die for. We got all of this for two people which was MORE than enough. I do think it's a bit expensive but it could be a special lunch spot or date night. And the food is so tasty. I will definitely be returning. read more

My friend and I were eating our way through the neighborhood on a Thursday night and we started off at Baba's. The restaurant is bright and modern, very welcoming. We chose to sit at the bar seats, figuring we'd be close to where the magic happens. The owner was nice and friendly. We selected both of their special sets of 9 pierogis, the Prince Albert featuring black garlic and another one that featured a Czech cheese. We also ordered the golden beet salad, figured it couldn't hurt to add something healthy. The pierogis were just the right size. They were perfect texturally and the fillings were delicious! We ate them rather quickly, while trying to pick a favorite. (Unsuccessfully as they were both too good) The golden beet salad provided a nice contrast, flavorful and fresh. It must be nice to live in a neighborhood that features these delicious pierogis! I'll certainly be looking to return. read more

I stopped by this afternoon for a super late lunch with my two friends and we were the only diners at Baba's Pierogies. Between us, we ordered the pan seared bacon pcheddar potato pierogies, pan seared potato and cheese pierogies, boiled Prince Albert special, and schnitzel bites. As somebody who has never had pierogies before, everything tasted delicious. When you order pierogies, you have an option for them to be boiled or pan seared. I personally prefer the pan seared option a little more for the extra crunchy texture on the outside, but also really enjoyed the boiled Prince Albert ones. I've had schnitzel before but only ever as a flattened patty, never as a fried ball before. This form factor is definitely superior as it makes the dish sharable for a group, and perfect for dipping. If you've never had pierogies before, I cannot recommend Baba's enough for a first time experience. The food here is fantastic. read more

I was really drawn to the raving reviews of this place, so color me surprised by the basic, simple dishes I was served. Ordered the beef kielbasy and when the entire dish came out, I was honestly expecting more. One sausage, three pieces of bread, and some kielbasa. $15. Terrible value. I'd remark on the flavor, but it wasn't special. Imagine buying some sausage from the supermarket, frying it up, toasting some bread, and eating that together. It would be the same thing I got, but it wouldn't be $15. Not surprising or delightful at all. I was still hungry so I ordered some blueberry pierogies to go and those were underwhelming too. Imagine potstickers with blueberries mashed inside. I wouldn't return. read more
