Imagine that?! A great Polish restaurant in the middle of a corn field practically, like an oasis of gastronomical delight in the darkness of a December night. This is where my friends took me for my birthday and I was so very glad I dined at Nad Tatrami. Coming from Munster, Indiana there really isn't any good Polish restaurants outside of a couple of fabulous full-service Polish delis in Schererville and one in Hammond. This is a great find! There is ample parking, and the interior looks authentically Polish in feel and warmth. Very cozy and comfortable. The service was welcoming and very friendly. All three (3) of us had fabulous entrees, I'll post pics later. Ample portions and big bowls of freshly made soup. It was quite hardy, filling and delicious! We were all very happy! The entire charming experience was like going to Poland as I have traveled there a few times. Definitely worth coming back and repeating our pleasure. The only negative thought was to turn the lights down a tad, you're not the White Castle's! Wishing you much success in the New Year! read more

This restaurant has been on my list for sometime. I had the beef goulash with dumplings and my guest had the Highlighter Special which was beef stew with potato pancakes. Both meals were delicious. My tip would be to ask for extra plates so you can split dishes . Our server Klaudia did a wonderful job. I was disappointed that they changed a credit card processing fee and it was not posted. read more

Brought the whole family this time for dad's birthday, all 17 of us, and the service and food was outstanding again. We were seated in one of the side rooms which was perfect for the younger kids. A couple pierogi plates and bottle of limoncello were great to get us started. I had the beef stroganoff this time and wow, just wow. Wife had the polish plate and loved it again. My son had a half slab of ribs and wish he ordered the whole slab. Can't wait to return, we can't get enough of this place! read more

First time coming here drove 45 min to have dinner. The waitress was rude from the time we walked in. She gave us an attitude because we asked if we could sit at a table with less people around, so we wouldn't feel crowded. She said I guess and handed us our 2 menus. NEVER came to our table to even bring us water or take a drink order. After 15 minutes we got up and walked out. As we were leaving she said oh you're not staying and we said we have been waiting 15 min and no one acknowledged us for anything. She was very rude and stood across the restaurant arguing with us. A simple sorry I was busy would have been sufficient but instead she just chose to be rude. Only thing I regret is not getting her name so I could have mentioned it in this review. Definitely won't be going back to this rude place. Would have gave them a zero but you have to at least give them one even though they don't deserve it!!! Do not recommend this place!! read more

The service was ok. The crepes were great. The dumplings were moist not fried. The menu was disappointing. I want more sausages on the menu.

We came on a Sunday night an hour before closing and were served great food in a family atmosphere. Heard customers ordering and conversing in Polski. Borscht was consommé with dumplings fantastic. My wife had a platter each dish was excellent and the bread, pickles, and cold sides were all top notch. read more

What a cool place. Delicious Polish food in a charming restaurant in a charming small midwestern town. The service was friendly and competent. As far as I can tell it is a far drive from most places, but well worth it! We had a polish sampler plate. The kielbasa was the best I've had. So was the potato pancake. Seriously -- give this place a try! read more

Nad Tatrami - Polish sampler. Really tasty. - Polish Near Me - Monee, Illinois

Such a great place for dinner, the bald waiter is amazing. Looking forward to my next dinner ther.

Today was our second visit. They start you with a small tray of bread with smalec, which is a savory spread. Then we tried the Zapiekanka which is kind of like a french bread pizza of mushrooms, bacon, onion and mozzarella, just outstanding. The sheep cheese soup served with bacon and potato pancake also was delicious. Our entrees were the breaded pork chop, beef stroganoff with dumplings and a Polish plate which has pierogi, stuffed cabbage, smoked kielbasa, sauerkraut and potato pancakes. We enjoyed absolutely everything we had. Finished the meal with a sample of Polish lemon vodka. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough! Come out and try it, you will not be disappointed! Smacznego! read more

Great atmosphere and best meal I have had in years. Will definitely be coming back soon

Firstly, the staff was extremely kind and welcoming. The inside of this restaurant is so cute, and clean! The food was outstanding as well, well cooked, well plated, and well served. The serving experience was fast, and they played great music. I definitely will be coming back! read more

This is a hidden gem! I have never had better Polish food in my entire life. The ambiance is adorable and the restaurant is impeccably clean. Our host / server was Karol & he made the experience so enjoyable. We walked in strangers & walked out friends. Now the food, holy moly! Chef Paul is a master mind. We tried the pork shank, Polish plate & steak Tartar. It was all amazing. Don't forget to get the homemade limoncello! This is a new favorite for us! read more

Wonderful family run restaurant with a warm rural Polish atmosphere. The server was even in traditional Polish garb. We had the Nad Tatrami platter (sampler). Great choice for 1st timers or returning visitors. There are also some less traditional selections for the less adventurous. We will be returning! read more

We drove by on a Saturday afternoon, never been here before, not knowing what to expect, oh my God we noticed the restaurant by the Polish flag flying in front of it my son noticed Kevin said we have to stop here. Upon walking in from felt like we were in a mountainside resort in the winter time Polish music was playing. The ambience was upscale and elegant, breathtakingly beautiful, we looked over the menu and ordered an appetizer of sausage and bread with onions and I ordered sauerkraut and mushroom pierogi full order and a half order of cheese and potato OK. When we were seated, we were presented with slices of rye bread and homemade lard and some pickles. All of it was homemade and delicious, very fresh. My son ordered the beef stroganoff, and then after the order was placed, we noticed they had a weekend special house, grill, lamb chops with sheep cheese, risotto and garlic sauce. I quickly grab the waiter and asked if we could switch after checking. He said we could let me tell you that was the best choice we've ever made. The lamb chops came out three of them cooked perfectly medium rare the presentation was amazing. Let me tell you about the risotto. It was the creepiest most delicious risotto that we ever had better than any Italian restaurant that we've had in Chicago, it was seriously amazing. The lemon cello vodka was also cool, refreshing and tasted delicious. After our meal, my son decided this is where he wants to go for his birthday . read more

Small in size but so big on the inside with great service. You feel like you stopped at someone's house to eat they are that welcoming . Our server Eva was beyond amazing she was the only one but she took the time for a one on one experience. Food and service can compare with any 5 star restaurants in the big city but you get the small town feel here read more

This was a delightful find out in Monee, Illinois. For southsiders, it is just a dozen miles or so south, pretty close to Governor's State University, and it is worth the trip. Our table had the Polish Plate (5 star stuff: a large stuffed cabbage, 3 cheese pierogis, a potato pancake, and a grilled sausage on sauerkraut); a half order of cheese pierogi (5 stars again, soft pockets of dough with a nice very light sweet cheese inside - the dough pockets were not crispy but rather nice and soft); the Panko breaded chicken breast (5 stars ... chicken pounded flat like the Amish do to pork cutlets with a light breading. The dish came with dumplings that were a bit odd ... that's the only thing we'd skip next time as they were tasteless); and the grilled sausage w/onion and bread (5 star appetizer that you can have for a meal ... 3 pieces of sausage with nice soft onions and good bread). The restaurant has a full bar, and a nice selection of Polish beer ... and Zywiec and Blue Moon on draft. Ambiance was nice and chill. The dining room was one nice large room tastefully decorated. Pleasant music piped in also. Waitstaff was cute and perky ... and they always seemed rushing around. They have a nice outdoor section for those that like to eat al fresco. The food here is traditional and authentic - it was the tops ... much prefer it to the Highlander in Palos. Prices are also very nice here, with the servings nice and large ... they don't skimp on the food. So why not 5 stars ... well there are a few minor but irritating things. (1) First of all they need to get the waitstaff of 2 a little help. The two gals did yeoman work to try and take care of the tables, but there was no way they could keep up ... and as this business gets more successful they'll need more help. We suggest they get one more person - either a busser to clear and clean or a runner too move the plates. As it was we saw one table of 4 get up and leave after sitting with no acknowledgement for 10 or 15 minutes. (2) They have a cute little custom of offering diners a shot of Limoncello as a digestif after their meal - but they don't offer everybody ... it seems just the people they know or like. They should keep this custom and offer everybody, it sort of gives them a special little touch. (3) The door to the outside seating is a standard door opening inwards and every time the waitstaff had to go out there - which was often - they had to put down their dishes on a nearby table and open the door, and then pick them back up and go out. They usually left the door open to deliver the plates and so flies get indoors. Suggest they put on a proper push door that goes both ways and especially from in to out and they can just push their way out. (4) The restaurant has taken up the spreading practice of charging customers when they use their credit cards. To their credit they have a notice on the door that tells you this, but we still think it is a nickel and dime thing to do. So we spend $60 of $70 dollars and they add a $1.73 charge on - that's nickel and dime stuff to maybe save on expenses. Suggest they would be better off hiring that third person so a table of 4 doesn't walk out ... that would be spending a little more to generate more dollars. You can't "save expenses" into a more profitable place ... you have to generate more revenue. Just our opinion as we think the credit card charge cheapens things at this fine place. So with all that, this is still a very nice place. The food is 5 stars, the waitstaff is very good although over worked, and the ambiance is wonderful. If they work on a few little things this place zooms to 5 stars all around. read more

The BEST Eastern European food around- The food is some of the best I've tasted even when traveling all over Europe. The atmosphere is clean, warm and welcoming. Great service both dine-in and carry out. The food is fresh, good quality and overall tasty. The Nad Tatrami Polish plate is delicious and gives a great opportunity to try a variety of their food. I preferred their savory Perogi but that is just personal preference. I love to place a carry out order even if I am only ordering their delicious soups! It is a great addition to Monee, Make sure you support our local businesses- this place is a good one! read more

I had a great experience at Nad. The inside is super cute, staff was nice, the food was GREAT and came out hot. We will definitely come back here again. I got the fish special, which was Cod. My finance got the polish plate. We both left with leftovers that we ate as soon as we got home, haha. Highly recommend, 10/10. read more

Just stopped in today and I can't wait to come back! The waitresses said for a few weeks they are only doing a buffet but they will have menu options after that. They do require masks for now and the seating did allow for social distancing. Our favorite items available today were the mashed potatoes, the tomato & basil macaroni soup, and the meatballs in mushroom gravy! read more

Weather for lunch or dinner this place is phenomenal! Very, very, very authentic Polish right down to the outfits the waitresses wear.

I don't see how you could be disappointed with going here and trying it out. I sincerely mean that! read more

Don't sleep on local eateries, this place could easily be a competitor on a crowded city street but I'm glad to have them near. Food is fresh, light, and delicious. Service is stellar and ambiance is top notch. Whether carrying out or dining in, casual or formal you won't be disappointed. Hard to say what my favorite thing on the menu is, I came for pierogi but try something new each time and the list keeps growing with solid options. Give it a shot! read more

The food is phenomenal and the music, traditional clothing, and friendly atmosphere are packed with nostalgia!! Sooo good!!

What a disappointment! Big bucks for mediocre food. I had the pork shank with sauerkraut. the pork was so dry and overcooked I couldn't even eat it. My companion had the plate with everything polish. It all tasted like it was made yesterday. The sauerkraut was mush. I am giving it one star because the cucumber salad was nice and the potato pancakes were ok. The service was just ok for only 3 tables in the room. Big disappointment - my meal cost $40 which I think is a lot for this quality. If the food was good and fresh I would not have minded the cost. In my opinion drive to Highland IN which is about 20 miles away and go to Dan's perogis. Great polish food at great low prices. I will not be going back there. read more
