Every time I dine here, I purchase their homemade salads, pickles, and kimchi to bring home. I tell…read moremyself I will leave a review next time, only to end up forgetting due to the tremendous satisfaction and joy I have felt since I started eating at this local hidden gem. I have slowly been trying each dish that intrigues my palate. I am aware I will soon be heading back, since my salads are starting to dwindle as I consume them daily. So, with this realization, I figured it is time for the review I have long owed this restaurant. I have been here a total of three times; that is not much to you, however, if you know me, this is big, especially since I cook all of my own food. The first time I came here, I ordered a Thai iced tea, which I consumed before even taking a photo. The Thai iced tea was spectacular and not at all too sweet. I split the kimchi pierogi topped with white fried onions, ground meat pierogi topped with fried onions, chicken fried rice, and drunken noodles with my father. The pierogi were so phenomenal, especially since they are homemade. They made my dad and me want only fresh, homemade pierogi, since store-bought no longer tastes the same! The chicken fried rice and drunken noodles were a delight and not over-seasoned. We even tried the homemade in-house cookie, which was a delightful sweet snack. The second time I went was again with my dad; this time we both ordered Polish-style hot dogs, chicken spring rolls, and garlic coco rice. Despite the Polish-style hot dogs being much thicker than an average hot dog, we shockingly enjoyed the flavor and juiciness, along with the toppings and sauces on them. The chicken spring rolls were perfectly crispy, tasty, and shockingly not greasy or dry! The garlic coco rice was fluffy, flavorful, and had the perfect amount of garlic. The drink of choice was a Thai iced green tea, which was not bitter and had just the perfect amount of sweetness. The third time I went here, I brought the whole family. I ordered the pierogi with potatoes, mushrooms, and onions, topped with white fried onions, which I enjoyed. The mushroom and onion flavor was subtle and discreet. My grandma ordered the spinach cheese pierogi, which I got to try; I felt it had an equal spinach-to-cheese ratio. My grandma also ordered two jumbo knishes, which I had a piece of to try as well. I felt they were crispy, fluffy, and yummy. My grandpa and dad both ordered the ground meat, onion, and mushroom pierogi, which both of them enjoyed. My grandpa even told the owner they were the best pierogi he had ever eaten. My great-aunt Margie had a Polish-style hot dog, and my uncle had two Polish-style hot dogs with some toppings. Then I ordered mild pad thai noodles to share and try with the family. Everyone really enjoyed the pad thai and kept asking me for more. I had the kompot to drink, which tasted like a fresh homemade fruit punch. I can see why it sells out fast. Food-wise, everything was wonderful according to my family and me. The three drinks I tried were amazing. I have tried almost every salad, yet this couple always surprises me with a new one I have not yet tried. The only two I have not enjoyed were the pickled egg salad and the spicy cucumber salad. Otherwise, I have enjoyed every other salad I have tried tremendously, especially the sweet and sour cucumber salad and the Thai cucumber salad, which are my two favorites, as well as the homemade kimchi. The food is outstanding, and the service was friendly and remarkable. The conversation with the owner is a true delight, and the atmosphere is serene and conducive to conversation.

The atmosphere is beautiful and decorated like a mountain lodge. Every ingredient was prepared fresh and tasted delicious. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Some of the highlights from our meal include the tatra haus sampler. This includes pierogis, stuffed cabbage, and kielbasa. Perfect shareable size and you get a taste of everything. The kielbasa were crisp and smoky and paired with a nice horseradish mustard. Other appetizer standouts included the potato pancakes and Highlander potato cakes with garlic butter and sheep cheese. I loved this pairing - the cheese and garlic butter were the perfect pairing for the delicate and light potato cakes. For dinner, I ordered the polish noodles with bacon and sweet cabbage. This has a flavorful smoky taste. Additional dishes ordered included boiled and fried pierogis, the highlander stew, and stuffed pork with plums and apricots. Every member of my family left satisfied. To end our amazing meal, we tried the napoleon and pistachio cheesecake desserts. There's a variety of polish draft beers and cocktails to choose from. Overall, Tatra Haus left a great impression on my family. Thanks for helping us celebrate with excellent food and service!

Food is from the mountainous region of Poland. If you like Polish cuisine, this place would…read moreinterest you. The menu requires some knowledge of Polish food with some offerings being familiar while others may require some exploration. We were two couples dining on a weekday evening. Two people had plum stuffed pork which was very good, one had the pork loin and broccoli which was also good. I had the schnitzel which was not to be confused with German or Austrian schnitzel. It was two small loaves of a mix of beef and pork which resembled more of a meatloaf. It was a bit bland but satisfactory. It came with mashed potatoes. Several sides of Polish sauerkraut, beet salad, and what appeared to be a fermented carrot salad were included. We shared an appetizer platter of pirogies, kielbasa, and something I couldn't identify, but it was all very tasty. This is not BYOB because they have a full bar. The ambiance has a Bavarian flavor and is squeaky clean and neat. The food is hearty and flavorful im what I would describe as peasant style. The service is excellent as they seem to want you to have a good experience. Reservations are required on weekends.

I was craving some Polish food which is almost impossible to find when you live in Atlanta. Polish…read morefood feels like the southern food of Europe, hearty, fatty with big portions. I walk up and a giant man opens the door for me as I walk in. Did this man work here? No, just a patron of the bar that was eager to see someone from out of town to walk in. Walking in you feel you are at a dive bar, but it is your home. All of the patrons and bar tender could have easily kicked my butt while dragging a cig, but were all very sweet and welcoming. Very dark and folks talking to each other like family. 6 folks were in there when I walked in at 7 pm on a Thursday, not speaking my custom southern American tongue but polish I would assume. No woman at the bar other than the one that served me my food. Had a big tall polish beer while waiting for my food. Ordered the Hungarian pancake and tripe soup. Tripe soup was okay, hearty fatty and filling. The Hungarian pancake, was like nothing I have ever had. If I could describe it, a fried bread folded over with chunky meat and a brown gravy topped with sour cream and chives. It was so rich and flavorful, that I couldn't finish because of the size of the portion if I tried. The bar tender asserted me, I made a great choice. If you are down for biscuits and gravy, meatloaf with a loaf of bread, bangers and mash, you will like this dish. Bottom line, this is a dive bar that serves some authentic eastern european food. A place if you love to explore food and different culture. Love this place and would recommend to the adventurers, not good for Ashely and Brad.

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.
