First time here and came with friends. Had no idea what to expect but so surprised to find a small little market and a cozy, warm restaurant area with both seats and tables. We got here about noon and there were a few full tables but we did have a choice of table. It didn't take long for the entire place to fill up!
We had looked at the menu on-line prior to coming so we were fairly prepared with what we wanted. We started with a bowl of the red borscht, which comes with two slices of homemade bread. The soup was so good! Full of cabbage with onion, beets, dill and a tad of sour cream on top. So flavorful and hit the spot! I liked dipping the bread into the broth!
Wife had the Potato & Sausage Plate which comes with two potato pancakes (on the line of a latke but thicker, round patty) which had onions and was well seasoned with a crusty edge. They served applesauce with it. Also she ordered the smoked Kielbasa along with potato, potato & bacon and potato & mushroom and she got hers boiled. I ordered the Sampler Plate with a beef cabbage roll in tomato sauce, fried pierogi's (potato, potato & mushroom and potato & sauerkraut) and a smoked Kielbasa. Sides were their homemade sauerkraut (oh so good!), a wonderful little cup of caramelized onions, which I had with the pierogi's. Everything is fresh made, authentic, and overall delicious. We loved this place! People next to us had ordered desserts which led us to order the honey cake! Oh my gosh...multi-layered, decadent graham like layers with a not-to-sweet cream...a great ending to our meal.
Their portions are big, we had shared both plates and still had leftovers to bring home. Our friends had the potato & cheddar pierogi's boiled (ordered 12 of them!) and off the lunch menu, the port schnitzel with mashed potatoes and it comes with a house salad.
Wonderful experience and we can't wait to come back and try some of the other dishes. Great service (although, she brought the check, not asking about dessert and seemed surprised when we asked about dessert).
Also visited the little store and ended up bringing home a couple of the smoked sausages to use later for a couple of dishes. They have a huge selection of groceries with Polish, Ukrainian, and European specialties.
