You know a restaurant has to be good when there's a small crowd gathering at the door before it…read moreopens at 8am, and when there's a line waiting for tables by 9am! This is exactly the situation at Shipudei Berek, a modern Israeli restaurant run by a passionate chef who wanted to bring a piece of Tel Aviv to Warsaw! I just can't emphasize how great this restaurant is--from the trendy modern decor, the friendly service, the videos of life & food in Israel playing in the background, and yes, the delicious food, Shipudei Berek is just bomb! The thing I loved the most was the mezze spread--10 different dishes of freshly prepared appetizers that come with every skewer entree: cabbage, tzatziki, red sumac onions, spicy carrots, shredded carrots, beets, grated tomato, tahini, hummus with chili, and pickled cucumbers & chilies! Every mezze dish was so fresh and seasoned so perfectly--if I had to pick a favorite, it would be the dreamy, creamy hummus, which just goes perfectly with the pita bread that comes on the side! On top of the mezze, we also got an order of the octopus shipud, which were four pieces of octopus marinated and grilled on skewers! This was delicious as well, though I'd probably suggest getting another protein, since the octopus came out a bit burnt using this preparation. I also got a freshly squeezed pomegranate juice, which had some of the whole arils floating on top! Delicious! Come, come, come to Shipudei Berek, and if I haven't given you enough reasons, here's one more: the prices are an absolute steal for the quality of food and the overall experience! At one point, our waitress noticed that our skewers were taking a while to arrive, so she asked us if we wanted extra mezze and refilled our requested plates for free!

First, the late evening visit for dinner was cool b/c it was not busy and I was seated outside. I love the garden /patio feel to the restaurant. Inside, if you prefer to sit, there is a large restaurant setup, very comfy with an open kitchen, visible to pretty much everyone in the restaurant on the first and second floor. The food was exceptional. It was my first night in Warsaw and wanted to experience a modern take on tPolish dishes. The cold beet soup, beet greens with a quail egg was super delicious. The schnitzel was excellent and it came with unforgettable mashed potatoes and a cold cucumber, yogurt and dill salad. I also tried red Polish wine, a Cabernet. And that too was also very good. Service was super attentive granted I came at 10 o'clock in the evening on a weeknight, and English was spoken fluently by everyone I dealt with. This is a converted factory space , it is in the middle of an island of businesses, so your Uber driver will pick you up about 200 feet to the left of the restaurant as you walk out. Definitely will come back, on my next visit to Warsaw. End of Yelp.

My wife, daughter and I had a nice lunch at Warszawa Wschodnia during our recent trip to Warsaw…read more The food was excellent but the highlight was our delicious but unexpected borscht. We Ubered to the restaurant to walk afterward around the revitalized Praga District. The other clientele looked like trendy office workers so the staff was moving quickly to service the lunch hour crowd. The server asked us if we wanted the regular menu or "the lunch menu". It was lunchtime so we asked for "the lunch menu". We expected the server to return with a menu with lunchtime options - but instead less than a minute later the borscht arrived. It turns out "the lunch menu" was a 3-course prix fixe option and borscht was the 1st dish. We probably wouldn't all have ordered it had we understood but it was delicious with a beautiful beet red color and a pleasantly sour flavor. The main was a nice pasta with salmon and the dessert was an excellent pastry. We sat on the patio which was lovely. Very comfortable. Great restaurant with excellent food. In particular we loved our accidental borscht!

I was just trying to enjoy my meal without sweating like I was training for a marathon. Maybe it was the section we were seating at? We ordered a few dishes: the Khachapuri was good, but I've definitely had better--even right here in the same city. The sage lemonade was an interesting twist; I'll give them points for trying something new. The Chanakhi, on the other hand, was tough and loaded with connective tissue--trying to break it apart was a battle. We also asked for a side of grilled vegetables, which were... fine, but let's just say they didn't leave a lasting impression. Auntie Lali's Harcho and Kharcho soups were decent; the soup itself was enjoyable, but nothing to write home about. By the end of dinner, we were a little disappointed, so we figured we'd give dessert a go. We ordered the Millefeuille. It arrived, and before I could even blink, my husband had somehow inhaled the entire thing in one bite. His bites aren't 'that' big, but the dessert was 'that' small. He liked it though. Overall, I wouldn't return. It was a bit overhyped, and there are other Georgian spots in town where you'll leave feeling genuinely satisfied. Take a detour and check them out instead!

Loved the food & atmosphere. The staff was amazing! Hope to go back before we leave Warsaw.read more

I'd say they ask go head to head in terms of overall pizza experience. The ingredients are always fresh and that's why there's no set menu, but rather a chalkboard that's updated according to the current availability. The service is also helpful and their per glass primitivo is really great. Other than that it's just a step away from BUW and the riverbank so you can enjoy lovely nature once you're done with the food:)

Składniki wyraziste w smaku, świeże. Pizza smaczna, dla poszukiwaczy smaków pizzy bardziej włoskiej niż pizzy z sosami ;-) Pizza może nie należy do najtańszych - ale ceny nie odbiegają znacząco od cen pizz w dobrych warszawskich miejscach typu Rucola czy Mąka i Woda. Miejsce na około 20 osób, w lecie kilka stolików na zewnątrz. Na zamówienia nie trzeba przesadnie długo czekać - ogólnie wszystko bardzo poprawnie, pizza smaczna, dla osób, które zawitają na Powiśle np. do Kopernika na pewno jedna z ciekawszych alternatyw jedzeniowych :). Tiny place in building of Library of Warsaw University (BUW). Pizza and wine - this is the offer - approx. 15 types of pizza, including white and vegetarian. Simple pizzas with best ingredients to really give Italian flavour - prices similar to other good pizza places in Warsaw - e.g. Mąka i Woda or Rucola. It is really tiny place for approx. 20 people, in summer few tables outside, but in my opinion worth visiting if you are around, e.g. after visiting Kopernik Center.

I came directly from Gdansk in a delayed train so I rushed straight here to make my reservation. With my roller luggage and all. They thankfully had a convenient coat check where they were able to store my luggage. Now as for the food, wow on all fronts. I ordered the Chicken Soup, Marinated Herring, Steak Tartare, Lamb Shank and a Meringue Pie. I just had to try everything! And sure glad I did. I don't usually like lamb but this dish came highly recommended. Ive only liked lamb on a few occasions so it was a gamble and in this rare situation, I won. The gaminess of the lamb was very subtle and the flavor combined with the potato puree and marinade was delicious. The steak tartare was prepared table side and the chef asks if you want it normal, mild, or spicy. I opted for spicy which I felt wasn't any spice but nonetheless, a very tasty steak tartare. The marinated herring was so enjoyable as well. The fish was tender and the citrus profile of the sauce was a fantastic complement to the dish. The Chicken Soup was as good as chicken soup could be. Warm and savory. And finally the dessert. The fluffy meringue pie was very good as well but after a few bites, the sweetness got to me. Still a good dish though but more geared towards those with a real sweet tooth.
