The food was filling and good. We all finished our plates! There is still counter seating here and many booths. The upper walls are lines with coffee mugs. Service is fantastic.

Everyone agreed it was like walking into a restaurant from our youth! One of our group had made a reservation and when we arrived they were sort of ready and took us to the back dining area and then moved tables to accommodate us. Smooth transition and drink orders were taken as soon as we settled. They had prime rib so I opted for the Mom's cut along with their best homemade mashed potatoes and I also chose the mixed vegetables, which appeared to be your common variety of frozen mixed broccoli, carrots and cauliflower. I had forgotten to ask for the gravy on the side but it turned out to be delicious and just made those potatoes that much better! The prime rib was so good, tender, juicy and done to perfection. They serve it with raw horseradish and I asked for some sour cream to tone it down a bit. We both had the salad bar, which I found again to be fresh and stocked well with lots of goodies including beets, peas, and some mayo-based salads. I love their ranch dressing and I actually mixed that with a bit of the Italian just because! Wife had the Pot Roast with mashed potatoes, gravy and roasted carrots. The meat was flavorful and tender and she loved it. Both dishes were huge and we brought some home for leftovers. The pie! Ok, so we learned our first time around that their pies are spectacular and although the wait for them (which was about 15 or more minutes) was long, they didn't disappoint and everyone raved. We got the chocolate cream, there was coconut, banana (next time I'm ordering this!), and berry pies. Their crust is so good, flaky and just tender as heck. Overall, another great meal at Mother's and everyone was happy!

We're in trouble…read more The second I tasted the garlic sauce, I had an immediate realization, this is the kind of place that accidentally ends up on my weekly rotation. I would legitimately come back just for pita and that garlic sauce. No shame. I ordered online and, because I have no self-control, kept adding things to my cart. Ended up with a falafel wrap, a side beef kebab, a side of rice, and a garlic sauce. I had no idea the wrap came with a generous serving of steak fries, so that was a nice surprise. Now... I may have ruined my own ability to objectively review the falafel because the first thing I did was absolutely smother it in that garlic sauce. Underneath my terrible scientific methods, the falafel was crispy, flavorful, and every bite had a nice little crunch of freshness (pickle, onion, maybe tomato? I mentioned, smoothered in garlic sauce). The pita itself deserves a mention, too. It was soft, fresh, and held everything together without falling apart. Nothing over-the-top or fancy, just a really good pita and a wrap that felt like a fair portion for the price. The beef? I only stole one bite because I'm saving it for later, but it was tender, flavorful, and paired with some seriously delicious crunchy onions. The rice is also waiting for Future Me, who's going to have a pretty great evening. The woman working there was incredibly kind. I showed up a little early after ordering online, let her know I was probably ahead of schedule, and she came out to greet me, chatted for a moment about the storm rolling in, and brought my food right out. One thing that surprised me was the size of the place. I'd seen people describe it as a "hole in the wall," but... I don't know what kind of walls they're used to. This place is much bigger than a hole. I'll definitely be back. Mostly because that garlic sauce has already made itself a problem. Future Jess checking in: I originally hadn't tried the rice, but now I'm standing in front of my refrigerator eating it cold with a spoon, and I have zero regrets. It's beautifully cooked, and there's this subtle cardamom flavor that somehow makes plain rice ridiculously addictive. I kept wondering what I'd eat it with. Turns out... nothing. It doesn't need anything. I also demolished the beef kebab straight out of the fridge, and it was just as delicious cold as it was fresh.

And the funny thing is, I was only doing takeout! After being treated so warmly just picking up my food, I'm already eager to come back and actually sit down for a meal in the restaurant. I was craving some comforting, homey Eastern European flavors, and Cafe Balkan popped up on Yelp. I'm very happy I followed the recommendation! I ordered the Salma House Special, their take on sour cabbage rolls stuffed with ground beef and rice, served with mashed potatoes and pita. This was absolutely mind-blowing good. Hearty, flavorful, and exactly the kind of home-cooked meal I was craving. I also picked up the chicken noodle soup, which featured tender chicken and fresh herbs. It was light but incredibly comforting and tasted like something made from scratch with care. Of course, I couldn't stop there and also grabbed two bureks, one cheese and one spinach. Both were generous portions, flavorful, and delicious. They made for the perfect savory additions to the meal. But the desserts were the real standouts! I tried two different desserts, and both were unbelievably fresh, creamy, and utterly craveable. They were the kind of desserts where you take one bite and immediately want another. Definitely don't overlook the sweets here!

I make what I can at home, but I'm no expert at Polish cuisine like I remember from my childhood. Yesterday we tried A Taste of European Cafe. It was absolutely wonderful. The mushroom barley soup was delicious. You could taste the imported mushrooms. The sampler platter was enough to feed two people and tasted amazing. The restaurant is small and cozy, and our server, who I think may also be the owner, was very nice and smiled the entire time. I didn't have room for dessert, but will save room next time because they looked to be homemade! I did get some kolacki to bring home and they were quite good, too. I was so happy with this experience that I almost cried. It reminded me of being back in my Busia's kitchen as a little girl. We will definitely be back.
