Eva's European Sweets

This is a gem! Great, authentic meals from pierogis to kielbasa, homemade pickles and sauerkraut. The inside decor has character and the outside patio is beautiful when it's nice out. Highly recommended.

We stopped in for dinner one evening and tried a few of their dishes. The menu has a variety of items and a good list of specials. I think this is the perfect cold weather stop for some warm and hearty dishes.

Was a bit pricey but I have not had much for traditional polish cuisine in my life so my wife and I tried a lot of the dishes. One by one they had their own unique flavors and consistencies that we tasted our way through. The meatballs were very light in a unique gravy that was covering a bed of potatoes. DO NOT go here if you don’t like potatoes. We had a great time, the service was attentive, & the drinks were top notch. Only one tasted a bit too minty but they took that off the bill. The 2 reasons this didn’t 5 star were simple: the server said the dessert was chocolate peanut butter cake and it was just plain peanut butter cake & we didn’t eat our leftovers. For a 25$ meatball dish I would’ve expected to go back for 2nds but I never had the urge. We want to go back and try the pierogis and the chicken.

First time here and it didn't disappoint. The food and service were terrific. We will definitely be back.

Been here several times food never disappoints. Staff is always friendly and on point. Service dog friendly restaurant! They never hassle me over my service animal and have been very accommodating.

Evas European Sweets is just a fabulous treat. The atmosphere is festive and has a feel of a classic bistro European restaurant with a twist of nostalgia from the 1960s. The food is outstanding, best polish cuisine I've ever had. I ordered the Platter which gave me a sample of several classic dishes. We also had potato pancakes, which were perfect. The patio is really lovely and the inside just took me to another place. From what I can tell is this place is popular, but you must go and enjoy it.

Best Polish kitchen in Syracuse. Great food, great place and friendly service. Yo can feel like in a warm Polish Home. Recommended!

Hands down best meal I have had in years... amazing food amazing staff beautiful inside hands down will make hour drive to eat here any chance I get !

Rule of Thumb -- Three Visits Say It All My rule of thumb is to try a place three times -- that's the only way to truly get a feel for the big three: Service, Quality, and Consistency. I can honestly say this place hit the mark every single time I visited. The best pierogies around -- and not just in Syracuse! Don't blame the food if you simply don't have the palate for true, authentic Polish cuisine. This place delivers exactly that -- authenticity and friendly. Na zdrowie i miłego dnia!

Did not disappoint, waited just a few minutes, service was top shelf and the food was delicious. Next time I might just order only pirogies as they are just plainly delicious. Will definitely come back the next time I'm in Syracuse. BTW the polish beer was fantastic too!

Great service, great Polish beer, great food and nice environment . Never gets old. Happy anniversary Eva!

Eva's may possible be my favorite restaurant in Syracuse. The atmosphere & the comfort that their food brings always keeps me coming back for more along with anyone else who wants to join me for a meal. I get the pierogies every time we go & then they always end up talking us into getting dessert which has never disappointed me yet. I will always recommend this spot.

I had the Polish platter which includes 2 potato pierogies, a golabkeki (cabbage roll), kielbasa and bigots (hunter's stew), and sauerkraut and a Warka beer. The food was all very good. They have a nice outdoor area when the weather is nice. Very friendly staff. Got there at noon on a Thursday afternoon and had no problem getting a table. By a little after 12:30 the restaurant was full and the servers were a little overwhelmed. I would definitely go back

Been here a couple times, each time left feeling meh. Food is ok, nothing to rave about about. Decor- very polish and welcoming. Service always good.

I'm part Polish and grew up eating most of this food, so I have been putting off going here because how could it compare to my family's cooking?! Well, it does! It's legit and SO delicious! Dave was our server and was full of knowledge about the food, good humor, and brought coloring books and crayons for the little one in our group. Everything was cooked to perfection. I somehow managed to save room for dessert and the blueberry coffee cake was pleasantly tasty without being overly sweet. I ordered a mixed drink (I can't remember the name of it but it had lemon in it) and it was made so expertly! I'm definitely going back again. Reminded me so much of my grandparents and having a family dinner at their house!!!

We dined at Eva's on a Wednesday at around 5:30. We were seated immediately, and had several people taking care of us. My son and his girlfriend have eaten here several times, and they highly recommended it, and now I know why. It felt like stepping into another time period in another country. The food was amazing (Kielbasa Platter, Drunken Meatballs, Placki Hungarian Style, Roasted Chicken Thighs in a White Wine and Mushroom Sauce, and 6 Farmers Cheese Pirogi). The sauerkraut was so good too... very mild and not overly salty. I highly recommend this beautiful spot, and I will be back the next time we visit our son.

Always a treat to have lunch or dinner here. The weather was absolutely perfect, so we opted to sit outside. Service was quick, friendly and given with a smile. The food is the best Polish we've ever had, and the selection of European beers is excellent. They also have house craft cocktails which are tasty. In our opinion, the only reason to go to Solvay.

Four of us 60-somethings went here about 12:30pm on a Wednesday, (3/19/25) and we were delighted. The food was excellent: Two of us got a platter, which had a sampling of traditional polish dishes. All great. I'd like to have had a whole kielbasa, but there was.more than enough for one person. Others got the pierogies, and a Greek (!) salad. These were just right as well. I had a tasty Ukrainian beer, they had Polish beers as well. Yum. Service was fast & efficient. Well lit, bright inside. The back outdoor patio wasn't open yet. . Will definitely return when hungry for authentic Polish food!

Eva's is such a well oiled machine - everyone works cohesively on the service side and the food is constantly perfect! Adding more pics after another 5 star experience at Eva's. I love it there.

Brought my family here for the first time. We got there early on a Frida evening. It filled up quickly. My kids tried different foods and splurged on their desserts. Def full now. Fun atmosphere and yummy food. Our server was great. Friendly and attentive.

It's been years since I've been to Eva's but I stopped by tonight. It was cold and rainy, perfect pierogi weather. The restaurant is really intimate and warm, especially in the winter. You feel like you're sitting in a relative's house, and the staff takes care of you that same way. I went for the mushroom pierogi, and they were absolutely delicious. The mushrooms and onions were sauteed perfectly, so tender. The pierogi were super substantial, and the balance of fillings was perfect. It's no wonder this eatery is so enduring.

I am extremely embarrassed to admit that until recently, I had never dined at Eva's. I've driven by plenty of times and always told myself I would stop in. Finally, I did, and it was so worth it. My friend and I dined at Eva's for lunch on a beautiful summer. This was a first for both of us. Upon entering Eva's, I instantly felt a sense of comfort. This restaurant has such a warm "make yourself at home" vibe to it, I loved it instantly. We chose to dine outside since it was such a gorgeous day, and to my surprise, their outdoor patio was just as beautiful as their indoor dining space. The food was delicious! Both my lunch date and I thoroughly enjoyed our selections as well the eye-catching cocktails. Customer service was phenomenal upon entering the door up until we exited. While it may have taken me a while to make my way to Eva's, I can assure you now that I have dined here, there is no way I'll be able to stay away.

Heard this place was good and it didn't disappoint. Another gem of Syracuse. I'd say hidden but we found out it was on Diners, Dives, and Driveins. All kinds of delicious looking polish food on the menu it was tough to not order something i already liked but we found some great stuff. Had a Beet salad, Mushroom and potato pierogies,and polish gnocchi. The food came fast. The place was busy. Tons of sitting inside and out. Everything tasted great and paired well together even if it was ordered without that in mind. Saw so many things we wanted to try. We will definetly be back for more!

I love the mural on the side and the decor on the interior. It makes you feel like you are in someone's home and you feel like family. The service was great. I was blown away by the food. I tried the pierogi which is better than any I have ever had. My dad got the corned beef placki and cleared his plate. Too full for dessert we got some to go and the cakes were nice and light and delicious. I would definitely go back and try more of the menu.

OMG,OMG Great Polish restaurant our new must go every time we are in Syracuse! Ambiance screams Poland with love! The service is great the food is on point! Eva's heart is in this place and the ladies in the back can cook! The deserts look amazing just to stuffed- next time!

The food is amazing as the first time I tried it, and we got dessert this time and it was delicious. The service is amazing, they make you feel at home. I dined inside this time since it's still winter, the dining area is cozy. We chatted with the table next to us since it was their first time. The restaurant is so inviting.

A great place to bring a large group of friends or family for a nice time out. The place is warm, though, so be prepared during the summer months. It's nice because I thought I was going to sit at the bar for a bit while I waited for my party, but they let me get seated. My favorite dish here is the mushroom croquettes that is a fried crepe filled with mushrooms and covered in mushroom sauce. Don't skip the perogies though! The bacon and onion ones are the absolute best I've ever had. The waiter we had was nice, but made a couple mistakes in our 9-top's ordering which is understandable, and quickly fixed them. The desserts all look so delicious in the display case as you walk by the bar, as well. The patio is also a gorgeous space! Yummy food and good times.

What a gem! My friend found this place for us to stop at on our way back to SYR to fly home because who really wants to eat at the airport. When she said Polish food I jumped at the chance since it is really hard to find in my area. I will say that parking was bit challenging, but I was able to find some street parking. The building is fun and kitschy. The dining area is not huge, but we were able to be seated right away. There was so many delicious looking items on the menu I really struggled to choose and I must say that had I been with my husband I am sure I would have ordered differently and a kielbasa would have been in front of me. However, my friend is a vegetarian so we ordered two vegetarian dishes, the Polish gnocchi and the savory cheese pierogis. Both were excellent and we really enjoyed them. The savory cheese pierogis were a standout and if/when I make it back here I would defintiely get those again. The dessert here looked incredible, but we didn't want to stuff ourselves before getting on the plane. Maybe next time this will be our first stop upon arrival. Highly recommend.

I finally had the chance to try Eva's recently, and it definitely lived up to the hype. When our party of 5 arrived, they didn't have a table available right away but we were able to have a drink at the bar. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. They had a few specials on a board, as well as a nice cocktail list with good variety. The pear martini was delicious and tasted like real pears. Once we were seated. I ordered a special appetizer of salmon caviar on potato pancakes- it was also delicious. For my entree, I had the pierogis, which I had been looking forward to for a while, and they did not disappoint. I thought the timing of everything was good. Unfortunately, we didn't get to try dessert this visit, but we will be back to try it soon! One helpful tip- they did not itemize the receipt, so if you're planning to split the bill with someone you may want to keep track of the costs yourself.

I loved it. The place is cute. You walk in and there's a full bar to your right and tables in front. There's seating in the back which provides a quieter experience, and the patio - CUTE. We were promptly seated and ordered the Meat Pierogi's, Potato and Cheese Pierogi's, and Bacon and Saurkraut Pierogi's. All were excellent, but the Meat Pierogi were the real stand out. Everyone at the table ordered something different, from Hunter Stew, stuffed cabbage, a chicken dumpling dish, and pork cutlets with potato's. Everything tasted great. It had a real home-cooked taste to it end I mean that in the best way possible. The stuffed cabbage are massive and packed full of meat. They don't skimp - talk about a hearty meal - same with the hunters stew, which was again, hearty and full of flavor. The chicken and dumpling dish was great and came with bacon and sauerkraut. It all went together so well. The real star of the night though, the pork cutlet dinner. It came with red cabbage and potatoes. Outrageous. You know it's good when you get home and the next day you're still thinking about it. I'm glad I finally made it out here and I can't wait to come back. Eva's absolutely lives up to the hype of one of the best restaurants in Syracuse. By the way, they have a HUGE selection of polish and Eastern European beer.

Came for a friends birthday and everything was so yummy! You can tell everyone here works so hard, it was super busy and we got to sit at the bar. I got the same dish Guy Fieri ordered and we shared the pierogis.. I can't stop thinking about how good they were!!

Cute little spot, kind of out by its own not surrounded by much else. I stopped in by myself, and got a lite meal. Overall, it was really enjoyable. The prices were a little on the higher side compared to what I'm used to, but I'm not from the area, so can't judge. Service was friendly and fast. I think my favorite part about the spot was the mural outside, as well as all of the decor inside. It really just tells a story and there's a lot of history here.

Friendly service and very tasty food - the pancakes (as seen on Diners Drive ins and Dives!) and pierogi were really good. Not life changing or anything but solid. Neat beer list with beers you're unlikely to find anywhere else except Marcy discount (the porter was delicious). The desserts were also really good - the berry pie was amazing! For a small family diner atmosphere (with plenty of flies, thanks to people going in and out of the outside door for outside seating), the bill was a little high imo. There were only three of us. In fairness we ordered a lot to try things (four drinks, three apps, three entrees and two desserts) but the bill was over a hundred and fifty bucks before tip. Not a weekly, or even monthly, spot for me, but I wasn't disappointed, and I will probably be back as they are one of the only places in town for Eastern European food.

First. I am not one for ambience but the ambience is perfect, you feel like your in a little Polish Cafe. Next. The food is amazing and for a cost of only 80. And that was with four dining and with desert and drinks it was. Also on the food itself. Best pierogies i have encountered in the United States. Also excellent sweets as their names suggest. Deserves its title of best restaurant in Syracuse. PS. the service was optimal.

We will absolutely be back to Eva's! We visited for the first time today and we can't wait to come back. The food was delicious, the atmosphere warm and welcoming and our waitress was wonderful.

At Eve's European sweets in Syracuse. A great find. Polish restaurant and coffee shop on Milton Avenue. Good flavorful fresh maid treats. Garlic pierogis, kielbasa,drunken meatballs, sauerkraut and chocolate strawberry cake in this elaborately furnished and decorated place. ( see pix) Visited by the infamous Guy! Indoor and outdoor seating. Closed Sunday and Monday. Check hours and go.

Food 10. Service 10. I loved this experience. Had the Polish platter which isn't what it was called but a taster of everything. Cabbage soup which really isn't a soup, cabbage rolls (glumpke maybe?). It was great. Desserts were great but I can't now remember what we had. Told the waitress how much we thought of the place and she brought Eva to us to tell her. We are going back again soon.

Every time we go to Eva's we are never disappointed! The menu is so large I seem to try something different each time. The mushroom croquettes were perfect and the bolognese was delicious.

i love the vibe of the inside, and the outside is relaxing and private. all of their pierogies are top tier, and one time they had a pickle soup special that i couldn't get enough of

The service and food is impeccable! I attended a post, day 1 gathering from the Public Safety UAS Summit. They chose the best place ever to gather and enjoy great food and drink.

Eva's on Milton Avenue is SOOOO MUCH MORE than sweets! Allison and Carolina were amazing and saying dobranos to the kitchen workers was life changing! Authentic Polish cuisine and beer from Eva's town in Poland made this trip to remember! Remember my past in making pierogi and stuffed cabbage rolls and Polska kielbasa that we used to make around my home growing up. Remember my present in how I can enjoy these treasures in my hometown. Eva's hooked me up with the a Polish "combo platter" of the three items above as well as a new dish to me: a hunter's stew "bigos". And lots of saurcraut to go around it all. Amazing fast service and explanations of the meals. The ambiance of this jewel made me feel like I have traveled to Poland with leaving Central New York. Wonderful job Eva's! You made my night after a long training!

I swear it gets better every time. So delicious. The food is amazing, drinks delicious and service great. The restaurant is cozy and expands in the back so isn't too crowded. Love it here.

Had some time before catching a flight and decided to stop in for a bite. I ordered Potato and bacon pierogis with sour cream and Placki Ziemniaczane (potato pancakes with sour cream). I was very excited to try them based off of the reviews. They were good, but not the best that I have had. The filling in the pierogis was a little dry and the pancakes were a little well done and on the rubbery side. I would try them again if back in town, but I think next time I would order both sour cream and applesauce.

My husband and I agreed that dining at Eva's feels like going to a family friends house. As soon as you walk in, you get that welcome, homey feeling. You can tell that they put a lot of pride into their food and restaurant. During this visit, we decided to split a few dishes. We got the Polish platter, potato pancakes and polish gnocchi with garlic and bacon. Everything was delicious and our food came out quickly! Eva's is also well known for their desserts and they display most of them in a glass case near the front of the restaurant. I was very full, but couldn't pass up dessert, so I got a slice of funfetti cake to go. It was very good and not overly sweet! Hopefully we won't wait so long before our next visit.

I never had grandparents growing up... But this restaurant and the meals definitely made me feel like this would be Grandma's cooking and a touch of a grandparents' home. And on my father's side I'm polish and Lithuanian so I definitely enjoyed all the Polish decorations and art.. He used to cook more of European Flair so this cooking definitely reminded me of him. I ended up ordering their special pierogies that were garlic and cheddar cheese topped with bacon and sour cream. Also cabbage soup which was just absolutely delicious. And for my main course I ordered the roasted pork dinner. Fresh herbs pork and vegetables in a broth. Served with real mashed potatoes. I also ended up getting a slice of homemade cheesecake with cherries. Everything was in-house made and you could definitely taste it also I suggest to sit outside because the outdoor patio is just absolutely breathtaking and beautiful.

A must visit if you are in the area! Get your Polish on and stuff your face with their authentic dishes. From pierogis, to Borscht and more! They have good beer if you want the full experience too. Come hungry leave satisfied.

Amazing! Satisfying! Delicious! Comfort food! Food 5 Service 5 Portion & value : great! Sweets:Desserts: 5 What can I say? If I lived close? I would go weekly or monthly. I also felt this was the best and most caring service I have gotten since the pandemic. The staff is excellent, feels like they really care, obviously help each other out, and go over and above to ensure satisfaction. Can't sing enough praise for this place. It's a must go to when in the area!

On of our favorite restaurants when we visit Syracuse. Besides the amazing desserts, the many Polish dishes on the menu are all excellent. The meat sandwich I had a year ago reminded me of the overstuffed deli sandwiches that my dad would get me in the delis in the diamond district in NYC when I was a a child.

Hearing about this place numerous times but finally getting a chance to test it out firsthand was an absolute treat. Polish cuisine might not be on the top of a lot of folk's mind to eat but if not or if you've always been interested in trying it, I strongly suggest Evas. Four of us went out to dinner the other night with each of us getting something a little bit different. The intent of this was to try out a variety of entrées. Let's start with the red cabbage salad. Very fresh, shredded red cabbage, carrots, red onions, and apples. They mix this with a light dressing and it's super tasty. The potato pirogi is topped with onions and butter and served with some sauerkraut. Plenty of food here to fill just one person. We ordered five Golabki's. These are cabbage rolls stuffed with ground beef and rice and topped with their homemade tomato sauce. To me these were the best of all the entrées. The Bigos (hunters stew) made a strong case for the second best meal. This has kind of a stew type make up with sauerkraut, sweet cabbage, kielbasa, beef, ham, bacon, mushrooms and onion. They cook this in tomato sauce. Unbelievably fantastic tasting. Finally there was the mushroom croquettes. These are breaded crêpes that are stuffed and mushrooms and onions then folded over and fried. The creamy mushroom sauce provides a fantastic flavor to the croquettes Inside dining and outside dining are available. I strongly suggest the outside dining. The back area is completely surrounded by fence, trees, and vines completely blocking the surrounding views.

Only eaten here once but spectacular food. Only problem is most dishes are served with Sauerkraut which makes me fart! Definitely worth a visit.

We've been coming to Eva's since they opened and it's great every time. I got the special Drunken Meatballs and Gravy with red cabbage. The meatballs were tender and nicely seasoned, the mashed potatoes were so smooth and silky and a perfect side covered with the delicious gravy made with beer. I got 6 pierogi's - 3 filled with meat and 3 filled with potatoes and cheese. They are handmade with a nice thin dough and came with a topping of bacon and sauerkraut. The red cabbage is one of my favorite additions. My drink was non alcoholic, a mix of lemonade and blood orange. Service was very good and they were very busy everyone working together and working hard.

Eva's is a teeny restaurant right on Milton St in the Village of Solvay. I've eaten here several times over the last four years and I've never been disappointed. It's an excellent date night (or day date!) restaurant with creative cocktails, beautiful desserts, and a romantic atmosphere. My favorite dish is the cabbage rolls, they're so filling, and the cabbage is perfect. Almost like eating pasta. My partner says the pierogis are the best he's ever had. They have a large room that would be great for larger parties and a beautiful patio. Service is quick and friendly. While they do have a kids menu, personally, this isn't a place I would bring younger children.

Great little Polish restaurant. This one s an adorable, simple, good people good food restaurant. We tried a few dinner items, Polish platter, pierogi and a vegetable bean side dish. Portions were perfect not too much, not skimpy. The server a gentleman was very prompt, kind and did a nice job keeping tabs on us. The woman behind the bar welcomed us and was quick getting us waters and thanked us when we were leaving. Try them it was a nice family friendly restaurant.

When you have an urge for comfort food - there is no place better. This adorable restaurant is warm and welcoming and the food is fresh, authentic and filling. I was immediately transported to my childhood - and Sundays with my mom's extended family at my grandparents home. Many good times around the table eating stuffed cabbage, adults drinking vodka and card-playing deep into the night. Eva's food is delicious and the waitstaff are attentive and it's just the kind of place we need to get through the long winters in CNY.

Eva's is truly a Solvay favorite. The decor inside, and the cozy back yard, are a treat within itself - all the art! We shared many things, including a few different pierogis (I prefer them fried, though), hot and cold kielbasa, hot soups and of course, whatever desserts they had left after a busy night- which were very interesting; the orange cottage cheese cake had an odd texture but it actually tasted good, and the two banana-flavors were not overpowering!

Beautiful place. It has a nice old-school Eastern European vibe, I love the knickknacks on the wall. It creates a great vibe. The customer service is excellent, this is clearly a family owned, and more importantly a family run place. The owner seems to have personally made the cookies. The cheesecakes were delicious, just the right amount of smooth and sweet, without being overpoweringly sweet. The coffee was delicious. Prices are fair. I'll be back soon.

If you're a polish food connoisseur, or simply just want to try , this is the perfect place. It's in a neighborhood and can tell it was a former house that was converted to a restaurant. Its family-ran and has roots to Syracuse University, which is what brought me there. It's about a 15-20 min Uber ride from downtown but definitely worth the wait. My classmate and I had a polish five course meal and was treated to some free dessert. Everytime I visit, this is a mandatory stop for Syracuse. We met the staff and told them how much I loved the food and their house. They've also got outdoor seating in the patio which is nice for bigger groups! Go Cuse
