@eater

"A cozy Polish Triangle hole-in-the-wall that’s been around for more than three decades, Podhalanka delivers classic Eastern European dishes. In addition to pierogis, potato pancakes, and stuffed cabbage, owner Helena Madej whips up a variety of soups, including sour borscht and beetroot. Diners don’t have to worry about breaking the bank as all items are less than $10." - Ashok Selvam, Eater Staff
