    Ordered online and they never hit send. However, we only waited an extra 10 minutes for food. The staff were quite nice and got our order sorted quickly. The restaurant had a cozy and warm vibe. Food was great, I ordered the polish platter had everything I wanted to try. The potato and cheese pierogies were phenomenal. The cabbage roll was flavorful and the pickled cabbage was addictive. I'd definitely come back and dine in!

    The spicy beef pierogis are amazing. Fast and kind server and reasonable prices. I only got an app and a beer, but very much enjoyed the experience.

    The salad that came with my order. Ridiculous

    I ordered chicken cutlet with egg mushroom and salad. No egg. No mushroom. And take a look at the side salad. Never again. And I'm polish. Embarrassing

    I stopped by the neighborhood and wanted to take advantage of the outdoor dining area on a nice day. The fried pierogies were amazing, absolutely perfect with the sauteed onions and sour cream. I loved the lazanki pasta, it was the perfect texture and the mushrooms complemented the dish so well. And the service was polite and attentive.

I got the schnitzel (breaded chicken cutlet) and it came with a side of coleslaw and mashed potatoes. You used to be able to pick two sides, but anyway... There was zero seasoning in the whole dish. The coleslaw tasty like nothing. It was full of mayo but tasted like nothing. The chicken was super dry and tasted like it had been fried yesterday and then heated in the microwave. The mashed potatoes had an annoying amount of chopped dill on top, but no salt. The biggest sadness came when I tasted the pickle soup. It is a shadow of its former self. It is light on pickles and full of under-cooked potato cubes. It was badder than bad. What is going on here? SAVE YOUR HARD EARNED CASH!

I saw a couple pointing and nodding, so I asked, is this place amazing? They said yes. We were sold. We were wanting a drink and conveniently, they had a bar. Polish beer and incredible Polish cabbage on the way to meet friends for dinner at another restaurant? Duh!! Im Jewish - not religious - but it's important because beef/rice is the norm in my world. Karczma makes a pork version which was so so good. Big fat pieces. Thick, perfectly wrapped cabbage. Juicy, flavorful filling. The sauce was bright with tomato flavor. The wagon wheel decor was a curveball, but the warm and comfy vibe in the restaurant is what mattered most. We loved it.

I'd say it lives up to the hype, but not the absolute best I've ever had. The kielbasa was smoky and delicious, also enjoyed all of the pierogi we tried (which was nearly all options). I'd say the fruit pierogi (strawberry and blueberry) were the weakest. Pretty plain, but I wasn't expecting anything crazy. The golabki with mushroom gravy had me envious, it was REALLY good and an interesting departure from the typical tomato sauce you typically get. The Bloody Mary was solid; love that it comes with a pierogi speared on. We really enjoyed the crepe to finish off the meal. Just a solid crepe, nothing super unique going on. Definitely a great option if you're looking to try solid Polish food, I can see why it's so highly regarded.

    For 5 people, we ordered just about the whole menu. We probably could've gone with 10 dishes…read moreinstead of the 12 that we ordered. I would rank the piergois in the following order. Kaszanka Pierogi (blood sausage) Jalapeno Pierogie Tatarskie (potatoes, eggs, dill, scallion, bacon) Spinach Potato & Cheese Sauerkraut & Mushroom / Meat Don't skip out on the red borscht. Even a friend who doesn't like beetroot enjoyed it. It felt hearty, warm, comforting to the stomach. The croquette was good but we got the meat filling which has a texture of tuna, which we weren't a fan. The kielbasa dish was good- It was a meaty sausage and it wasn't overly salty and the fried pierogi was excellent. The stuffed cabbage was good. Just know it's boiled cabbage leaves wrapped around the same filling as the pierogi choice. The harvest salad was good to break up all the pierogi but it does come with 3 more pieces of pierogi (we had fried jalapeno). I'm sad to say the crepe wasn't the same as the one I had in Poland so I was so disappointed. It was closer to a french crepe. It's a soft thin skin of a crepe with a cheese filling topped with a very light whipped cream. The highlight was the pierogis. I think they're catered to our tastes. The skin was on the thin side. If I were to come back, I'd order the same menu, minus the sauerkraut & mushroom and meat filling pierogis. I would also order the borscht, kielbasa, and harvest salad again.

We were the only people in the restaurant the entire time, though there were a few delivery orders. The restaurant has a homey interior, with callouts to their historic presence in Bay Ridge. We ordered the chicken klopsiki ($15.65) and the Hungarian pancakes ($20). Each dish comes with a house salad, which consists of red cabbage, sauerkraut, cole slaw, beets, shredded carrots, and lettuce. The salad had nice flavors and tasted fresh! I really enjoyed the chicken klopsiki, which is a chicken meatball. The meatball was moist, and the sauce had a nice flavor, like chicken soup. The only downside was that the mashed potatoes had no flavor and tasted like powdered mashed potatoes. I liked the flavor of the Hungarian pancakes, but the ratio of pancake to filling was heavily skewed toward the pancake, which was just fried potato with minimal flavor. Therefore, I would pass on the pancakes and just get the goulash if I decided to return. Service was okay. When I asked the server for recommendations, she wasn't enthusiastic, but I was asking generally, and I could have been more specific. She left during our meal, and we had to call someone to give us the check. So after giving us the food, service was nonexistent. Overall, I liked some parts of the dishes, but nothing was so amazing that I would be itching to return again!

Would it hold up, or was the disappointment inevitable? I'm happy to report that I've returned twice this year, and the white borscht is still as delicious as I remembered. It's warm, comforting, and a little tart, with slices of smoky, meaty kielbasa and hard-boiled eggs. You can get a 12-ounce "cup" or 16-ounce "bowl," and I like opting for the latter so I can bring the rest home and make it last a little longer. For other standouts on the menu, their fried cheese and potato pierogis are great, with a decent amount of filling and perfectly caramelized onions on top. The sour cream's a must, though I hate that it was an extra 75 cents. Their platters are also hearty and can easily be split into two portions. You can't go wrong with the flavorful Polish platter, which features stuffed cabbage, kielbasa, hot sauerkraut with meat (my mouth is watering just thinking about this), and three pierogis. My partner's enjoyed both the Hungarian-style potato pancake with beef goulash and the stuffed cabbage with mushroom sauce.

Once stepping into the store, you are met with large freezers and fridges stuffed to the brim with all things Ukrainian.

Price-wise, it's very fair! And you can taste to quality and heart they put into these Pierogis. Can't go wrong with any flavor. I got the lamb and it was stuffed with tender lamb pieces, no filler. And they make for great quick meals! I also snagged a box of cabbage rolls stuffed with a pork and rice filling. Simple home-y flavor and better than rolls I've gotten from restaurants. Just reheat and it's ready to go! $15 for 5 large cabbage rolls was a great deal as well! Would get again. The only thing I wouldn't get again is their soup dumplings, as it was a bit difficult to cook and was a little too doughy near the top of the dumpling. Flavor wise, it was delicious and had a nice broth (assuming you didn't pop them. Only 1 didn't pop). But it was a difficult item to cook right in boiling water, like the instructions mention. Perhaps, user error. Every item is sold by weight and labeled after selecting your items. But they're happy to check the weight/explain price before purchasing.
