Carpathia Polish Deli completely MADE our Christmas Eve this year…read more I ordered just about every dish they had for Wigilia, and I honestly don't know how they do it -- every single item was better than the last. The food was unbelievably fresh, perfectly seasoned, beautifully prepared, and so authentic you could literally taste the love and effort in every bite. Nothing felt rushed, nothing felt mass-produced -- it felt like it came straight out of a Polish grandmother's kitchen. The owners and staff deserve a standing ovation. Even with the insane Christmas Eve rush, they were calm, kind, and every dish came out hot and absolutely perfect. Hands down, this is the best Polish cuisine within a 100-mile radius -- no contest. I will be ordering from Carpathia for every holiday moving forward, and I can't thank them enough for making our Christmas Eve truly unforgettable.

It's not like they're selling Bulgari jewelry or begula caviar but bring lots of cold cash to shop here because you'll need it. If you're retired or have a big family, you just might have to take out a second mortgage to stock the frig and your food pantry shopping at Carpathia, no lie. I know we've had inflation but some of their prices and the small portion sizes go well beyond that. But if you're willing to blow your paycheck on a good Polish sausage, you've arrived at the right deli but the food is very good, if you can afford it. SMACZNEGO!!! .....................................or Bon Appetite!

If i could leave zero stars... that's what this would be. I went in to the sandwich shop at 8:12pm…read more The shop closed at 9pm. My husband and I waited at the counter, ready to order for several minutes. Two team members were cleaning up, had ALL chairs up, and looked as though they were cleaning the cold condiment area. Never once were we acknowledged. Had we walked in 10-15 minutes prior to closing, fine. But 47-48 minutes prior to closing? Absolutely-freaking-not. We walked out. I visit this location regularly, but will never go back to this location or any other Capriottis again. I picked up the GMs business card and attempted to leave a message but the team members (who had no time to serve us) certainly had time to pick up the telephone. General Managers Name: Sara Henry Location: 902 Roby Dr. Hammond, IN 46320 I dont have names for any team members because they NEVER approached, greeted or attempted to take our order. DO BETTER!

I ordered pastrami and they gave me cold, unseasoned roast beef. We had to go back because they forgot something in our order. 2 weeks ago, I ordered through their site on Door Dash. Half my order was missing. They blamed it on the poor DoorDash person, but I'm now convinced that the restaurant didn't pack all of my order. The stores excuse for not fixing it was "my general manager isn't here. I'll have them call you tomorrow". Still haven't heard back. I will never go back to this location.

I used to stop by once a week but had to stop because either out of fried chicken for an hour or two and three weeks in a row out of potato cakes(steak fries) and the employee would say they're out. I decided to stop in on a Saturday late afternoon and once again out of fried chicken. What's the point of selling chicken if you're out at dinner time all the time. I won't try it again.

Pros: Polish food…read more Cons: Need more polish food. I'm so glad I have had the fortunate pleasure of being exposed to different foods from various cultures. Polish sausages bring a certain joy to my heart that is unmatched by almost any other encased meat. I am so glad to have found Celina's Deli. It's a small, local business with many imported Polish goods. They have ready-to-eat sausages hanging behind the counter, raw sausages in the deli counter, fresh sauerkraut, fresh pickles, home cooked soups, potato pancakes, the list goes on. One of my favorite treats are these mini croissant-looking items with a sweet kind of marmalade inside. omg, those things go straight to my hips! This is. a really nice place with all kinds of Polish goods that were once abundant in Chicago but seem harder to find. Celina's is a treasure for regular groceries and grabbing a meal when you're on the go. Please visit, you won't regret it.

It's unfortunate that I receive the exact opposite on my second visit. I was waiting to be helped and they took two white men, and an elder white lady before me, even though I was acknowledged. I can understand if they're older and they wanna be helpful first, but there is no communication on this.... And then I saw the sign. I should've taken a photo cause it was a little startling, and unfortunate that they expressed so openly their political position and hate for Wokeness. I've heard some stories how they are true MAGA and slightly racist, but you have to experience it for yourself. You have to give a place a chance. And it saddens me the way I was treated on my second time back. Folks everywhere are just so sad and upset these days, every life has been disrupted in someway the last 10 years for multiple reasons. It's stressful out here, but it's also stressful trying to get good quality food with all the regulation changes. I travel out of the country multiple times a year and American food is just the worst. So I'll keep searching for quality in both the product and in the customer service. In some small way, it's good to know a store position because I don't wanna give them my business. It's so weird to fight against progress. And it's even weirder to think Wokeness is a thing. Stay asleep.

When he was done, the ladies walked over to me and asked what they could get me. I promptly told them "nothing,I don't appreciate the way the owner of this business was talking to his employees, he's a ja**off and wouldn't support someone like that." Upon walking out the door, the owner asked me who the f**k I thought I was. I told him "I WAS a customer". He then proceeded to follow me out door while cursing at me . His behavior and treatment of his employees was incredibly disturbing and completely uncalled for. I will never support a business owner like this. I hope his employees know that there are a lot more jobs and business owners who will treat them with dignity and respect. And if these employees were family members, well, that would be a whole other review. Response to the owners response I'm gonna take this as a threat and make a police report. Thank you for showing us all.
