With a very pleasant and cheerful character, she made our meal quite a delight. 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! PS: their menu is hella cute (its a newspaper)

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.

There is a full stocked Polish vodka menu but we opted for a Polish raspberry spirit that was amazing and cheap! Two shots for £3.50 over rocks. The place was dead this past Saturday night which was a relief. Last time my friends and I stopped by, it was jammed and the music was deafening, so we dispiritedly left. This time, my friend and I arrived here shortly after 6pm when the bar opened. But even when we left around 9:30, it was almost empty. I would totally come back here!!

I am very happy we ended up coming here because it was delicious! We ordered 2 types of Pierogi, the first being the onion, cheese, and potato and the second being the cabbage.

Service was also good and overall seemed like a Polish a fine dining establishment. Apparently there is a bit of history to Daquise too and has been open since 1947. I enjoyed my visit and would definitely recommend!

We shared several dishes: Ruskie dumplings (cheese, potato, and onion); marinated herring with apple and creamed onion; pan-fried fillet of cod with horseradish sauce and sauteed spinach; and beef goulash with brandy served with buckwheat. Everything was delicious - but the dish of the night was the cod - I'd eat that weekly. They sadly weren't able to make me a martini (they couldn't have been out of vodka, so I assumed they had run out of vermouth?), but I had a nice glass of Polish wine, while my husband had some Polish beer. The restaurant is charming - understated and comfortable and well-lit. The service wasn't the most welcoming (our server was fairly friendly, but the hostess was not), but it was still a very nice dinner. It's a great place for a meal if you're looking for a place with history and great food! Polish was a great change of pace from our other meals!

Stellar. Simply stellar. A delicious take on ( largely) Polish food; a lovely dining space (…read morealthough tbh the seating arrangements for tables for two could be better). Staff are both delightful and attentive. The menu changes with fair regularity, but the 'go to' mainstays of Polish cuisine are all there, for example pierogi. You'd be a fool to miss out on the vodka, especially the flavoured variations done in house ( you'll walk past vats of it as you go through the bar). If your picture of Polish food is centred solely around lumpy plates of cabbage, pork, potato, and beetroot, you may be disappointed; all these ingredients definitely feature, but everything is presented in a classy , eminently presentable, and indeed refined manner, bringing in all the "Modern European" artistry you might expect from a London restaurant with a well known chef. To top it all off, it's very reasonably priced - think £50/head to have a couple of courses and drinks in the evening. In short, don't come- I want this place all to myself, although I fear the loyal regulars will frustrate my aim.
