"This is chef Krzysztof Drzewiecki’s oldest restaurant in his small but mighty Brooklyn Polish restaurant empire, where a knight’s armor greets diners and the pierogies are hearty and delicious. The filling options overlap with what’s available at Nobu vet Drzewiecki’s other restaurants: cheese and potatoes, sauerkraut and mushrooms, sweet cheese, and spinach and goat cheese with a chanterelle sauce. Other food options include dense, rich potato pancakes, beef goulash, and wild-card creations like venison and walnut meatballs served with wild mushroom truffle oil. For a satiating and super affordable midday feast, check out the lunch special, which includes a soup, entree, and dessert, all of which are selected from an expansive range of choices, for just $11." - Alexandra Ilyashov
"Krolewskie Jadlo is one of three restaurants owned by Nobu-trained restaurateur Krzysztof Drzewiecki, and it’s the most food-focused one." - Stefanie Tuder
"Krolewskie Jadlo offers cold borscht (a.k.a. chlodnik) with buttermilk and dill. It's paired with grilled kielbasa on a brioche bun and fries."
