Everything about this restaurant is pure excellence!…read more My wife used to do a lot of work with two of the local theaters in Northampton. One of them, Royal & Derngate, is just a five minute walk from Chata, so this was a regular stop for us for a meal out before or after one of her shows, or if we popped down to see one of the many great acts passing through town. I can't imagine a better restaurant in Northampton. First, the service. We were always waited on by the owner, who was always up for a great chat. An immensely friendly, welcoming, and attentive man. Second, the food! The pork shank is unreal, absolutely spectacular, and my wife always enjoyed the pierogies. The sausage appetizer with mustard is also excellent. For drinks, they offer three or four different Polish beers, of which the owner will share his candid opinions and recommend one to suit your tastes. There's also wine, and Guinness, if I recall correctly, but stick with the beer. I highly recommend the Zwiec for a super drinkable lager with better flavor depth than the others. Having been to many restaurants and pubs in Northampton, this is by far my favorite for its incredible service and food. This place is, simply put, homely, and you can't do any better than home.

This was a highlight of our trip to the UK. We almost gave up on it when our gps made navigating…read morethe one way streets all but impossible, but I'm so glad we persevered. I believe our waiter was also the owner, and he was incredibly inviting and welcoming. We ordered two platters for four of us, and we all got the beet root soup to start. We wanted to sample a little of everything, so the platters were the way to go. The food was incredible. Beef rolls that melted in your mouth, pork shanks that were worth the wait (about 20 or 25 minutes), onion pierogies, polish sausage, pork loin- every bite was just amazing. I couldn't believe that my family ate every bite- it was an enormous amount of food. Authentic, prepared with love and care. We also had a 10 month old baby with us, and she agreed that the food was delicious, as she couldn't get enough of sampling the menu either. They have an awesome high chair too that looked like it could be found in a ski lodge in the Swiss alps- rustic, sturdy, and very comfortable. The service was so friendly and helpful with offering suggestions, and even other guests in the small restaurant were friendly and willing to start up a conversation.

Attentiveness, helpful suggestions and communication, and fun conversation really set her apart as a server during our time in the UK I got the Tower Temptation and the pork was cooked perfectly. The cheese and sauce/sausages from the stew really complimented the meat well. Fun fact: Mamuska has served the best slaw ive ever had, and im normally not a fan of cole slaw. You get a complimentary visit to their salad bar - its small and has 4 options but the slaw and carrots were simple yet somehow unmatched Despite being in the heart of London, the food here tasted authentic and this would be a place id recommend to others visiting London that want a break from classic English food!

Our server got us a table immediately because the restaurant is spacious. Then, we ordered pork gulasz and the mixed set of pierogis. It did take a long time for our orders to arrive because there was a logistical error on their side. The staff could've taken more of an initiative to communicate the delay. The pork gulasz, designated as a big plate, was a hearty stew with tender pieces of meat, mushrooms, and capsicum. For each order of a big plate or pierogi set, you get one visit to the salad bar. There, you can fill up a small plate with a small assortment of pickled vegetables. The mixed set of pierogis included pork, goat cheese with spinach, and sauerkraut with mushrooms fillings. I really enjoyed the boiled pierogis with their substantial fillings. For a nice experience with Polish food, I'd recommend visiting here. The newspaper menu is fun to read, and the atmosphere is good for big groups if needed. Multiple water closets are upstairs. This restaurant is also near major tourist attractions, including the London Eye and Westminster Bridge. It's also near Waterloo Station, a major transit hub connecting the South Bank to other parts of the city and country.

You can find it by turning left under the bridge behind Moor St station and then taking the second road on the right. Inside you will find a cosy restaurant with a straw ceiling, wooden tables with crochet tablecloths and other traditional polish decorations. It's quite cheesy but effective. Food is hearty and trsditional, probably not much for vegetarians. We had a sharing trough for 6-8 people last time so I've tried a great deal now. The dumplings are delicious, as is the stuffed chicken. Sides of sourkraut, beetroot and potato are super too. It isn't refined cooking but it is good, hearty and fun. They have a great vodka selection too. The mint and lime is lovely to sip neat. They also have mead and polish beer. Service is warm and helpful. I visited in a group of 13 last week and they were wonderful, even giving a free drink to the birthday girl. A great experience!

I rarely give places 5 out of 5, but that is most certainly (in my eyes) what this fantastic Polish…read morerestaurant deserves. I had heard about this place through fellow Yelper Katy H's review and was pretty excited at the prospect of sampling Polish cuisine (which I hadn't tried before). I had posted on Social Media before our visit asking for recommendations of things to try; soup, dumpings and apple cake were the top menu items cited by friends and the Twitterati. The venue is cited in between Digbeth and town (behind Moor Street rail station). Lauren W. had sent out instructions before our visit on how to find it (thank goodness she did) as it's not immediately obvious if you're not that familiar with this particular part of town. I have to say, it doesn't look like much from the outside. It's not glam or posh, but once you wander in you will be charmed by it's attention to detail, design touches and ambiance. Have you ever been to a place that had a thatched roof INSIDE? Get yourself down to the Karczma for a world of fluffy rugs, stuffed hawks, ceramic twee ornaments and exposed wooden beams. I cannot rave enough about just how darn CUTE this venue is. It has a mix of booths and tables, so would be perfect for a date or a meal out with friends (and family). We had a quick look at the menu (which is in Polish and English) and quickly made our choices. I had, had a couple of sneaky pints before our visit; but the rest of my dining group opted for a cup of mead to accompany their meal (the mead selection is fantastic). Once we had ordered, we were invited to go to the appetiser table which offered rye bread, pickles and the most amazing lard (Yes, you read that right, lard) I have ever had. To start, I was won over by a soup that comes in it's own bread bowl. This was by far one of the meatiest soups I have ever had with smoked sausage, lardons and lots of tasty things in a broth. There is literally nothing to complain about, it was delicious. For my mains (even though I was pretty stuffed from the starter), I went for the beef stew served in a potato pancake with a "selection of salads". The salads were carrot, beetroot and some kind of coleslaw (without any mayo). Again, everything was totally delicious but I just couldn't finish my potato pancake. It felt like I was eating dark matter! I tried some of my friends beetroot consommé soup and another friends Pierogi whilst we were dining and both were excellent. I couldn't manage a dessert (I felt like I was going to fall asleep I was so full!), but I, again, I had a bite of someone else's. A gooseberry mousse dessert which had the consistency of blancmange rather than mousse, but it tasted really, really good too. 8 of us had starters, mains and at least one drink (some had 3) and the bill came to £280. It's not the cheapest restaurant in Birmingham, but for a unique, delicious and FILLING dining experience I would recommend the Karczma to anyone who will listen.
