I have been meaning to come to this restaurant based on the reviews and I finally had the…read moreopportunity to check it out with a friend. The place is a little hard to find as it is tucked away behind the Esso station in a strip of stores accessible by a driveway from northbound Dixie or eastbound Dundas. As it turned out, it is certainly worth the effort in finding this little gem. The decor is fairly spartan and nothing to write home about, but it's all about the food. They have a large hot table with freshly prepared Polish home-cooked dishes. A good selection of soups, salads are available in addition to schnitzels, meat balls, cabbage rolls, stews, pork hocks, bigos (sauerkraut with meat), stuffed chicken, perogies, buckwheat, and much more... This is just good, honest, home-cooked food that you would expect mom to make. Great value and highly recommended.

We had just crossed the border and came here for lunch based on the reviews. This place is located…read morein a strip mall and there were plenty of parking. The restaurant is small, but vast enough that you won't feel squashed. The "buffet" is situated to the side, with menu items framed behind it on mounted shelves and a mural painted next to the shelves. You tell them what you want and they scoop it for you. A TV plays in the very back and the drink cooler sits across from the buffet as well. We ordered the following: Cabbage rolls combo with buckwheat and cabbage on the side. It was basically stuffed cabbage. Hubs & daughter thought this was good, but it was no big deal. It was ok. Mushrooms and cabbage pierogi and cheese and potatoes pierogi - Overall these were good but we've had better. Hubs only had the mushrooms and cabbage pierogi and he said that he enjoyed this better than the entrees. Somehow, he didn't get to try the cheese and potatoes pierogi. Schnitzel with green beans and potato pancake- Daughter liked the schnitzel and thought that the sides were ok. Hubs thought the schnitzel and the potato pancakes could've used a little more crisp and that it should be fried a little bit longer. Taste wise was ok. The string beans were overcooked and reminded him of school cafeteria. He always wanted to try it but felt disappointed. Tripe soup - We over got to eat this while there, so Hubs had it a few days later. He said that this was pretty good. It was beefy and the tripe was nice and soft. This was one of the better tripes he's had in his lifetime. Daughter is diabetic and wanted diet soda but they didn't have any, so she ended up getting water. The restaurant was cute but it was cold. All the patrons were wearing coats. Place could use some heat. Service was friendly and quick, though. Glad we got to try it, though.

Hidden gem on the east side with delicious Eastern European food!…read more We got the items recommended to us, which was the borscht and schnitzel sandwich and those were absolutely delicious. The pork schnitzel sandwich was juicy yet had a great fried breading on the outside, probably one of the best I've had in the city. Borscht was light yet hearty, a must get. The platter was also tasty, pierogi was a highlight for me and they have a variety to choose from. Nice little patio outside to enjoy your meal on a nice sunny day, but the bar inside is equally as cozy. Service is super friendly and food comes quick.

The schnitzel was gigantic, the size was bigger than my head lol, I ordered the pork schnitzel, it was perfectly brown yet inside wasn't dry at all^^ and i chose the potato salad for the side, it was delicious, ultra creamy, and well seasoned. The staff and the owner are very nice and friendly, I would definitely going back there again!

Came here due to high review. Never have this type of food. So lets try it out!…read more Surprisingly busy on weekday dinner, but at least there's no line up. A lot of beatiful European-looking clienteles (and we are the only non-European one). lol. Upon sitting: Free bread and pickled spicy beets/cabbage are provided, along with 4 different types of sauces. We ordered: 1.khinkali (dumpling beef and pork). 3 HUGE pieces of dumpling. Theres broth inside the dumpling. Taste yummy and homey 2. Goergian bread with chese and runny eggs in the middle. best to eat while it's warm. the bread feels fluffy. cheese is not heavy as i thought. 3. (medium-grilled) baby lamb rack comes with side dishes & bread. tender. 'homey' taste (not overpowering like typical food in restaurant). 4. walnut cake comes with vanilla ice cream. cake doesnt feel condesed/heavy like typical cake! and definitely great mix with ice cream. Overall, food taste 'homey', which is good/different experience. But didnt feel compatible with high-price (receipt with food name&price are attached for reference). We will not be back as there's nth really memorable/oustanding flavor-wise..(except for the great service!) With same spending, we feel it's more worthed to spend in different restaurant. But if you never try and looking for yours-truly-experience, go ahead. After all, whats not too great for me might be hidden gem for you. Cheers!

The tables were full while were there...we had to flag a waiter to get our order. Once that was done, the food came fast. We ordered many dishes to try.

Hummus- super tasty with the bread Osso buco - the meat was very good with the sauce it was in I love the live entertainment. The guy was talented!!!

For our mains, we got the grilled salmon skewer and Beef Stroganoff to share for the 3 of us us since our appetizers,perogies, borsh soup and meatdumplingsitems were more substantial (not light dishes)so we didn't need individual maiins. They also give you a basket of complimentary bread slices to start so I recommend you get get the Egggplant Ikura spread cause it goes nicely with the bread(double check that you'll get bread).Since this was our first visit I'm not dure if they always give bread.Booth maindishes were delicious!

The complimentary bread was slightly over-baked. There was some crispness but it was a bit too hot. The hummus was ok. Borscht was decent. Okroshka was a cold soup. It was decent - quite refreshing. The soups came in big bowls. Mititei (sausage) was good: bouncy. Brizol moldova was rolled veal. Got it with home potatoes. The meat was good though a bit salty; it was egged & fried so there was some crispness. The potatoes were good - flavourful, with some crispness. Both mains came with a red, slightly spicy sauce which was good. The kompot (fruit drink) was decent, with a good flavour, though it was a bit dilute.
