We were starving when we stumbled upon this. We were mainly looking for polish cuisine to kickstart our trip in Poland and we were definitely no disappointed. We both had a starter and a main dish and honestly, they give you a LOT of food. For starters we ordered polish dumplings to share (I can't quite remember which filling) and the traditional polish soup (The one with sausages and egg in it). The dumplings were absolutely delightful and the soup was very tasty with subtle sourness to it. They also give you bread alongside your meal, so admittedly, I was already feeling full from just the starter! For my main dish, I got the Salmon. The portion size was HUGE. I was so surprised and didn't even manage to finish it (I would say I only managed to eat half of what they served :) ), which I have to say is a first! The price is extremely cheap for what you get (though I can't say whether it is cheap for Poland, as Poland is pretty cheap everywhere in comparison to UK). The food was authentic, as confirmed by my polish friend, and very tasty. I would definitely visit again if I am in Warsaw! They also had english on their menu if I remember correctly, but I also had my friend translate everything for me...

During my visit in this czech restaurant I was not satisfied at all and/or just unlucky. The waitress serving the table was very nice indeed, which was positive, nevertheless every order for drinks took honestly with 20-30 minutes way too long from placing till serving. At one time she forgot the order completely. As a complimentary starter they offered a cheese spread which contained parts of a plastic sheet, which I was not very pleased of whilst realising what I have in my mouth. My proper order was a fried beet root salad and vegetarian pierogies. The salad tasted like boiled beet root without spices, oil or vinegar. The vegetarian dumplings were accompanied by a sauerkraut containing bacon, which was completely mindless as I don’t eat meat at all. As the table were I was sitting at was an outside seating, I was surprised from the quite nicely decorated interior when visiting the restroom. But in the entire restaurant there was a strong and disgusting odor, like something chemical, which made the experience even worse. I don’t think, that they deserve a second chance in the future.

We had the absolute worst time at this restaurant. The staff could not speak english, which of course was understandable for us but they made no professional effort to try to understand us and often left the table in the middle of the conversation without ever acknowledging us. We had to call them over numerous times as they ignored us and most of all the food was TERRIBLE. We ordered the chocolate mousse and the whipped cream was stale and the chocolate was horrible. They got very visibly angry and annoyed with us when we asked them for the bill, and the waitress literally rolled her eyes and walked away when she realised she needed to get the card machine. I could go on and on about the million reasons why this place is terrible but I'll just leave it at that. As you can see we took care of our trauma with some KFC afterwards......yes, it was that bad...

We have been in Warsaw for 6 months and have driven and walked past this place numerous times, we finally decided to stop in and see why its so busy all the time. I suspect it is busy because of the giant beers that they serve here because the food is quite average. I ordered the pork ribs, they had decent flavor and the meat came of the bones easy enough but they were pretty dry. My wife ordered the Golonka, pork knuckle, it was huge and could have fed us both, the meat was tasty and cooked well and the leftovers made a great omelette the next morning. Although we didn't have any big complaints we have enjoyed much better Golonka and ribs in Warsaw so based on this I give 3 stars.

Nice place if you want to have cheap and good food. Bit of a pub-feeling. Friendly waiters. I took a 1l beer. I asked fir a wheat beer but I got a lager. Did not feel the urge to complain. Wasn’t too bad. For food chose some kind of porc chop from the grill. Came with Tzatziki and a simple tomato salad. Normally it is served with fries but I asked for rice. That was no problem. As an amuse bouche we got two spreads and some bread. Nothing very special, but not bad. My collaegue took a giant Schnitzel that came with fries. Pity they do not serve it with some kind of salad or sauce.

The price is actually quite good. 20 pln for 1 liter beer and 35 pln for a meal is good. Really cozy. Great atmosphere! Negativ things: First time I was there the lady took payment from everyone in the party, she also got a good 12-15% tip, but somehow she counted it wrong so we where still 90 pln short, how is that even possible when she got like 150pln in tip!? Second time It was debris in my beer when they served it, they replaced it but when I got the bill they charged me for the bad beer, only 8pln but still. Nothing to argue about, this time you missed out on 50pln in tip.
