This food is hearty in all the right ways!! Best eaten on a cold snowy or rainy night when you can find reprieve within. Sitting in this restaurant made me feel like I was sitting within the Nighthawk painting. Outside it was cold and blue, but inside it was warm and golden. I had Pierogis, pan fried (1/2 order of potato, 1/2 order of special) and a stuffed cabbage with mushroom gravy. All washed down with the like Polish Pilsner, Zywiec (a nice accompaniment to balance the heavy food). All of the selections on the menu looked delicious and I would love to try again some of the other items.
I came home from visiting Poland and wanted a taste of my travels at home. Since I didn't want a big plate of food I had a cup of borscht (which was not like any of the soup I had in Poland but still enjoyable, although I wasn't a fan of the big red beans in it). The bread on the side was ordinary sliced sandwich bread and nothing special, I'd have preferred a small slice of challah with it (which they offer for an additional charge). Mushroom sauce served beside a 1/2 order of dumplings satisfied my craving. My friend has a bowl of matzo ball soup and was delighted! As I was leaving I saw some eating a plate with little dumplings, sauerkraut some other food with mushroom sauce which is what I must try next time...and there will be a next time. Arriving at 6:30 on a weeknight it was crowded by the time we left almost every table was taken.
Never had Polish food before and this seems to be the spot to try authentic dishes as approved by an actual Polish person. We started off with the combination platter which had their well known dishes such as pierogis, stuffed cabbage, kielbasy and bigos. Next was breaded pork chop which not too oily at all, potato pancakes and last was cheese blintzes. Everything was very homely and of course had cabbage in most of the dishes. I definitely enjoyed most of it and would go back to try other dishes. As for the service, even though they were not that busy we kinda had to chase down our waitress to order food and get the check. The inside is comfy and seems to match the style back home as per my companion. Overall had a good experience.
This place was amazing! Authentic Polish service, all the waiters were very kind. The food was absolutely delicious too. Big portions, fresh and hot pierogis, almost everything comes with a side sauce or dish too. The place is very cozy, small and quiet for the most part. I have gone to Poland and tried their food there and will vouch the quality is similar! I would definitely come back.
I love me a local owned NYC restaurant that has been preparing home cooked meals for decades in a very consistent way. Polish perogies, white borscht and blintzes are a staple here. The white borscht was tasty and reminded me of a chowder minus the clams because of the thinkness and smokiness from the kielbasa. And a half sliced hard boiled egg in the bottle of the cup. The perogies were tasty with their generous cheese, potato and spinach fillings and the potato pancakes were on point. I could taste the shredded onion too. The star was the cheese blintz whose filling tasted like my hubby's. You can taste the orange zest in the light filling. On point! Definitely give this place a try!
It was a lovely evening as my husband and I sat down for an outdoor meal -- I ordered the kompot which was delicious! He had the red borscht, garlic bread, and pierogi. I had the stuff cabbage which came with a huge portion of sauerkraut and potato salad. I also had the tomato sauce as a topping for the stuffed cabbage but it wasn't necessary as the cabbage was so flavorful on its own. I'd happily come back -- and next time I hope to bring more people to try! The servers were nice, too.
Little Poland is an absolute gem in the East Village. When you enter, it's like you're being welcomed in to somebody's home. It's frequently busy, so there might be a small wait to get a table, but believe me, it's worth it! Frequent business is just a testament to how good a restaurant is, in my opinion. The last two times I've been here, I've gotten the mushroom barley soup, which is the ultimate Eastern European comfort food. It's the perfect thing to eat on a cold day. Each soup is served with bread, and I'd absolutely recommend getting their challah on the side. Two thick-cut, soft, doughy slices of challah are the perfect compliment to their already amazing soup. Their pierogis are also absolutely to die for! With a little bit of sour cream on top- YUM! They have several different variations of pierogis too, so there's something for everyone. I've also had their kompot, which is like Polish fruit punch, sans all the artificial colors and flavors. It was the perfect mix of fruit flavors, and has actual chunks of fruit inside. I'd also highly recommend their homemade apple cake- they give you a huge portion, so I would recommend sharing it if you order it. As I mentioned before, since they do get busy, I'd recommend going at an off-hour. Last time I went, they were mildly short-staffed, but thankfully my party and I weren't in a rush. We managed to flag down the waitress, and it ended up being all good. Overall, this is an amazing place with authentic Polish food. The flavors of their food always hits the spot.
Not too long of a line to wait on a Saturday night, unlike passing by neighboring Ukrainian restaurants. We got Hungarian style potato pancake, which is such crispy goodness over savory beef goulash. Comes with some boiled vegetables. Pretty good value it's a hefty thing. I can't remember but I am 90% sure that is what I got last time. We realized after the fact that you can get gravy and sautéed onion upon request. Next time. We also got 2 potato blintz and stuffed cabbage with mushroom gravy. There is so much dill in the potato blintz...herby and delicious!
when I couldn't get into Veselka, I decided to try a little Poland again where I hadn't been for quite a while. Less prone to eating big plates of kielbasa that I was 10 years ago it turns out they make a vegetarian stuffed cabbage with Kasha and mushrooms that was not exactly light but lighter and very tasty.
Such sweet staff for our group of five-- the meat platter looked quite solid, but I really do like a good beef stroganoff! Need to try one of those burgers Cheers!
Sunday, September 21, 2025 around 1ish party of 2. Since outdoor dining was full...we had a number of indoor tables/ booths to sit at. Ordered an endless cup of coffee which was just brewed. Fried kielbasa was just crispy fried enough with snap to the skin...even better with polish mustard. Meatloaf with mashed potatoes..meatloaf had a kielbasa flavor to it and with the mashed potatoes covered in mushroom gravy it was super delicious. Schnitzel with saurcraut topped with a Sunnyside up egg was kicked up a notch with the polish mustard mixed with couple of sprinkles of black pepper and Tabasco. The beets were delicious as well. Cucumber salad had just enough dill to bring out flavor in the cucumbers Mushroom gravy was so good and had the right seasoning and texture. The service was good and attentive. The food was well seasoned and flavorful. The ambiance had an old Polish pub feel. Definitely pop in if in thr East Village Area
Amazing food! Great service. My favorites are all the different borschts, and the blintzes. Highly recommend.
Love the homey vibes! Soups were amazing and fried pierogis had much better texture than boiled, though both were relatively lacking in flavor. Will be back to try other dishes!

Best polish diner!! Love the warm vibes and friendly ambiance. Food is very legit! Servers are very helpful. Has cabin in the woods feel...Their pierogis are great!! We also tried their bigos and combo platter-which were both amazing but also the serving size is super generous!!!! Totally recommend! read more
When I realized there was a Little Ukraine village in NYC, I had to drag my boyfriend along for some pierogi! Although we obviously ended up coming to a Polish place rather than Ukrainian, I loved getting to show him some of the food I grew up eating sometimes as someone who is part Ukrainian. It was pretty slow as we got here late on a Saturday night and it seemed to be mostly locals, which we both love. It gave Polish diner vibes and had a great menu! We got quite the spread to share - the pierogi platter (crispy), potato pancakes, and stuffed cabbage. And we STUFFED ourselves on them all (and didn't regret a thing). read more

Enjoy Little Poland, one of the few remaining old school bastions of classic Eastern European food in the East Village. They offer a range of delicious dishes. A favorite of mine I typically get there, something rare if not unavailable in other restaurants in Manhattan, is their fantastic White Borscht, a traditional rye-based soup, not to be confused with red borscht that's made with beets, green borscht made with sorrels, or cabbage borscht. Little Poland's White Borscht comes freshly made, with thin slice bits of Kielbasy (sausage) and sliced hard-boiled eggs, and accompanied by bread and butter. (I usually choose pumpernickel.) I find this soup's smoky flavor makes a really satisfying dish. In the past, I've also gone for Little Poland's stuffed cabbage, but again their White Borscht is my go-to. read more
Cute little diner serving Polish food. Came on one of those cold NY winter nights and I HAD to get the soul. Got the red borscht and mushroom barley. Red vkrs hot definitely had more of a punch in terms of flavor but the mushroom barley was very comforting. Soup was a little on the lukewarm side, my preference would've been hotter but regardless they were good. Also got the combination platter which came with pierogis that you can choose fried or boiled and a single flavor or a combo of flavors. Combination platter allows you to taste a little of everything and the portions were huge. Server was nice did not feel rushed and people were even doing work with their laptops. I'm not an expert in what good polish food tastes like, but I know that this spot was one worth checking out especially on a cold day. read more

The combo plate had pirogies, Kielbasa and stuffed cabbage all were outstanding and their Sauerkraut was the best I've had. Worth the drive to the city. read more

Awesome little joint in the east village. Swung by to catch up with a friend and enjoyed the meal greatly. She got apple pumpkin pancakes (a seasonal item) she thoroughly enjoyed, while I got a kielbasy sandwich with fries. Service was friendly and we weren't rushed at all, which was a welcome change from some other places nearby. Ambiance is casual and homey. Awesome low-key spot for a solid Polish (or diner) meal. Would return! read more

Wooooow. Hidden gem alert! This is a super authentic Polish spot in the village. The food is so good! HUGE portions! Everything was fresh and tasty. The staff are all sweet Polish speaking folx who are kind. It's a nice clean restaurant. Nothing fancy and very much gives off diner vibes. ALSO. because the portions are huge, I couldn't finish my plate. And I was seeing a film at Tribeca across the street and knew I couldn't bring leftovers in with me. THEY STRAIGHT UP OFFERED TO HOLD IT THERE WHILE I SAW THE MOVIE! This is worth a trip to the East Village! read more

Unfussy diner with a casual ambiance and a very authentic Polish feel. Really enjoyed their pierogis, they were fried nice and crispy, and absolutely stuffed to the seams. While their matzo ball soup was quite tasty, it was served pretty lukewarm, almost room temperature. The prices are a little on the high side for that it is (e.g., around $10 for 4 pierogis). read more
Absolutely delicious authentic food. The gołąbki (stuffed cabbage) came with a mushroom sauce. I ordered with cucumber salad and sauerkraut. And the kompot (fruit juice) was refreshing and came with a spoon to eat the fruits too. Love, love, love! Cannot wait to come back again! Enjoy a piwo a here and good food! read more
