I had a group dinner here for my parents and my boyfriend's mother to meet for the first time. This is perhaps not the perfect location for this type of thing, as it was extremely loud in the restaurant. Despite being very busy, the hostess made sure we had a comfortable table to sit at and were not too cramped. As expected, the beer selection is great and I enjoyed my Berliner Weisse very much. I ordered the goulash and kasespaetzle. The goulash was rich, well seasoned and filling. The spaetzle was soft and creamy, covered in lots of flavorful aged cheese with salty bacon bits and sweet onion. A very rich dish. Although I didn't technically order an entree, I still found myself pleasantly full at the end of the meal. The rest of my dining companions ordered either the schnitzel or the wurstplatte. All seemed very pleased with their food, and some even had leftovers to bring home due to large portions. This restaurant is certainly a fun spot to come, reservations recommended. There's a reason they've been open for so long.

Delicious German food!…read more We came here for lunch and the restaurant is adorable. Filled with German decor and beautiful stained glass windows, this is a great spot for lunch or dinner.

I really don't enjoy leaving this review because up until now I've always loved the food here…read more Yesterday, Tuesday December 16, 2025 I came to Hetmans to pickup a couple different Polish dishes and decided to try something different, this thick piece of what I was told chicken. After trying a few bites and realizing the texture was off I cut it open and discovered the chicken was raw, not undercooked, just completely RAW. As I write this review I'm sick to my stomach. I brought it back and spoken to the manager who apologized and handed me back $8. $8 for possibly giving me food poisoning is unacceptable.

It was topped with crispy potatoes string fries. On top of a subtle relish. And a crispy hot dog. It was so delicious. My wife at the non meat pierogi. The dough and filling had the perfect ratio. Cooked very well as the dough didnt have an firmy or overly cooked bites. And the onion topping had such a great sweet finish. Can't wait to come back for dinner. Bonus- I just adore the space. The details and the feeling of calm was great.

The interior evoked elements of interwar and Communist-era Poland. The wooden booths, bar stools, glass paneling, and light fixtures created a homey yet bright atmosphere, and even the bathroom carried through the historic aesthetic. The plates were also done in a traditional Polish pottery style. Given the name of the establishment, we had to try the pierogi. Aside from the meat (z mięsem) and sauerkraut & mushroom (z kapustą i grzybami), there were also potato & cheese (ruskie), ranging from $14-$16 for lunch. Each order came with six pierogi and were filling enough that we had some leftover to bring home. The pierogi z kapustą i grzybami were traditional, with a filling that had nice flavor and texture, though I think they could have used a bit less dill on top. The pierogi z mięsem were more non-traditional, incorporating beef cheek alongside pork. These were also very good, with tender meat. We also ordered the pickled cucumbers, onions, and mushrooms (kiszonki), which provided a nice contrast in both texture and flavor to the pierogi. The menu included inventive cocktails incorporating Polish flavors like apple cake (szarlotka) and beet (burak). I'd come back for dinner to try both the cocktails and the more extensive evening menu. Aside from the restaurant, there is also a market in the space. Most of the inventory consisted of assorted non-perishables like sauces and jams from across the US, with less of a focus on Polish products than traditional "polskie sklepy" around Ridgewood. There was also a deli counter, though it was fairly limited. I had planned on buying Polish herbal tea, but the tea selection consisted of only a few black teas. The coffee selection was larger, though mostly brands you'd find in any supermarket. Overall, a welcome addition to Ridgewood that both keeps Polish culture alive and feels fresh and contemporary.

I had their namesake beer - the Gottschee 1330. If I was forced to guess, then I'd probably go with it being Hofbrau original. It was a light and crisp beer. Solid head. Served cold in a half liter mug making it a great beverage on a hot afternoon. Service was quick. They had several TVs around the bar playing football. Pricing on the food menu was incredibly intriguing.

The truffle one had a light taste of truffle, nothing overpowering, and wasn't an excuse to raise the price either as other places would so I appreciated that. The potato and cheddar and the ruskie kinda blended together in my head but I think I preferred the potato cheddar more. The jalapeño actually had a little kick and wasn't jalapeños mashed into smithereens like I had expected so that was a pleasant surprise. The spinach feta potato wasn't my favorite but I loved that the combination existed. All the fillings were very creamy and the dough, you have to be careful, because it can fall apart while boiling. I will be back to try the rest of the menu no doubt.

We were a group of four and were seated at a large round table, which was perfect for sharing. We started with black tea, then ordered two salads to begin: the cabbage salad and the fresh salad (both in large sizes, which were well-portioned for our group). The cabbage salad was lightly pickled and very flavorful with oil, while the fresh salad was simpler but crisp and refreshing. For mains, we ordered two Lagman soups (large sizes, which were very filling and enough for leftovers), the Sherpa soup, one Samsa meat pie served with a red tomato sauce/broth, garlic fries, fried dumplings, and chicken and lamb skewers (two of each). Everything was flavorful, fresh, and came out quickly. Before tax and service fee, the total was under $100, which felt like excellent value for the amount and quality of food. We were all very full and still had plenty to take home. Staff was helpful and attentive, and overall it was a great dining experience. Would definitely recommend visiting.

I used to come here often and really enjoyed it, but after today's visit, I'm completely…read moredisappointed. Food: * The samsa was tasty, just like before. * The lagman has gotten much worse. * The borscht was completely underwhelming. * The chicken kebab was simply awful. * The lamb kebab has gone downhill a lot. * The beef kebab was okay, but nothing special. The bill and "service" charge: When I got the bill, there was an automatic 20% "service" charge included. I assumed it was a tip, so I asked the waitress. She told me it was a city tax, which sounded strange. I went to the counter to clarify, and they explained it was "for sitting here and eating." I asked again if it was a tip -- they said no, the staff doesn't get it. Our waitress was good, so I still left an extra tip on top, but this will probably be my last visit here. I don't like being misled -- either customers are being deceived, or the waitstaff isn't getting their tips. Photo attached. Be careful and always check your bill!
