Hetman Fine Foods Deli

My first time going to Hetman Deli and I'm utterly elated . The place is clean and the staff were helpful. Had the stuffed cabbage with mashed potatoes and salad for lunch and it was delicious. I also picked up a few yummy Pączek for dessert

We loved the pierogies, but I was compelled to write this review to say that the cheesecake with a light coating of chocolate slayed. Thank you Hetman!

Great place, love the sweet ladies who work here. I took home a huge chicken cutlet, kasha and gravy, beet salad and coleslaw, all for $12. It was enough food for almost two days. This place deserves lots of love as does the wonderful ladies who work here.

One of the best lunch deals in all of NYC. I am new to the neighborhood and this immediately became my go to for lunch. Quick tip, mix the beet salad with the regular coleslaw!

Delicious, well-made Polish food at reasonable prices.

Note : OPEN TILL 8 PM not 9. From Polish stores that serve food amongst other things, this place is the best. Food delicious and fresh (11$ for chicken cutlet potatoes and salad). The ladies are nice but understand they’re on their feet all day working in a tight space. A little kindness goes a long way with them. I love how neatly products are stocked and just love the store overall. I don’t get to come as often as I’d like to.

Food is just like grandma used to make. Love this place.

Hot tray dinners always fresh food and plentiful

Great little polish deli I get to pass by once in a while when work takes me to Ridgewood Qns. I got Chicken meatball, fried pork roll, stuffed cabbage & mash potato in gravy. Side of carrot salad & dill cole slaw. Pillow and nap not included. All solid and satisfying feel good comfort food. I do agree with some of the other reviews the counter people are not the friendliest. Hetmans - in!

stale and dry, disappointing really. the interior is dirty and uncomfortable. go anywhere else if you want a good meal. very weird. bigots and unfriendly.

soggy and undercooked chicken not nearly as good as you would expect pretty bland too, has really gone downhill since some of these reviews not worth the hype

I love this place, their soups are always delicious, especially their tomato soup. Store is super clean and well organized. Staff is friendly and courteous.

Never again Food is tasty. My mom was about to pay with credit card which "wasn't" working so she paid with cash. Later on she received a bill from credit card co. to pay for shopping at that store "Hetman". She couldn't go back and make a complain, she discarded the receipt. But again no pricees to see on meals and meat or sausages products. And a lady turns around to count to stuff you wanted to buy. And you don't know if her neighbours ham wasn't included in your shopping list and you didn't know. Bunch of thieves and liars.

Amazing! I got a huge, delicious dinner takeout box stuffed with golubtsi, mashed potatoes, dill cabbage slaw, and beet salad. It was amazing and delicious! And it was just ten bucks for a huge box! If I lived here, I would be a regular!

5 stars, cause this place needs to be known. Deli, Homemade Hot Food, polish grocery. Their 'Take-out Hot Food' is some of the best food in the neighborhood and I am so excited to come back! There is an amazing team of people in the back are cranking out authentic Polish food all day. Honestly, I have no idea what I ordered, I just pointed to things and they all ended up being delicious. There is this cabbage wrapped meat/rice thing that reminds me of something my mom made me when I was a kid. Delicious! Cheese and mushroom over breaded chicken - rich and homey! Ground Pork Polish Meatball = yes. There is a dill flavored cabbage cole-slaw type of side dish that I really enjoyed, the makings of slaw but without the mayonnaise! I will find out the names of these things and get back to y'all Yelpers!

If you're looking for fast, authentic Polish food for take out - this is the best spot in Ridgewood. It is a small Polish deli/buffet, and quite tight inside during busy times. The food is made on premises daily and served seven days a week, late into the evening (8pm). The pricing is great, you could get a full meal for around $7. Additionally, they have a huge selection of Polish deli products, meats and cold cuts.

Wow, I was in the area and stopped in for the first time. Incredible filling tasty Polish food, I had an idea that it would be good, but not this good. I'm really enjoying their food. The service was excellent, really great team behind the counter and bringing out food. I will definitely come here again. Top notch Polish food! ...and I haven't even got to the Blintzes yet, they are in the fridge for later!

Everything they sell here awesome! From their cooked items and salad bar to their cold cuts and snacks... If you're in Ridgewood you have to come here to get your polish cuisine fix. Good stuff, nice people and great prices for quality items and service.

Wow! $7.50 for food enough for a small family. And they know how to cook! I opt for the chicken cutlet and get it perched upon Kasha with a side of beet salad and a side of carrot salad. This is why I'm a happy man.

Fresh polish meats and cheese. Nice friendly service . I'll be back soon ! I love the sliced Kaczka you can tell it's fresh . I need to come back to try the homage soup . It was too early in the am to get soup but I'll be coming back . Friendly service at its best.

This is the second time I shopped here and I will never come back. The first time there was no line but yet I was ignored for the good 5 min by the older ladies working there until one of the young ones finally acknowledged that I was there. I was served with the b*tch face. The second time I was there, which was yesterday I got 4 wieprzowe parowki. When he was eating them yesterday he said he found a piece of bone, but I told him it happened sometimes. But today when I tried to cook them for my children I smelled them and they smell horrible. They was already bad! If I would not smell them my kids would be sick! How you can sell bad merchandise??? I will never go back there again!!!!

By far the best and authentic polish food in NYC. You can't go wrong with their selection since everything is freshly made and sold immediately. Their pierogis are not beat by anyone! If you are looking for real Polish food and at a great price, this is a place to go. Made by Polish people for all!

Enjoyed a great take out dinner from here. The home cooking was quite genuine. Pirogis were mad delicious! We'll have to work our way down the menu. Enjoyed chicken on the bone as well as the cutlets. Great sides also.

I love this place! Delicious, authentic Polish food cooked on site. Also many interesting cookies, breads, meats etc. The people who work there are friendly (and patient with non-Polish speakers).

Terrible service. If you are not polish they will leave you Standing there and when they finally do help you they have attitude. Not going back again!!!

Affordable and amazing polish home cooked meals. The place has it all, from groceries, to bread, meat, desserts, and cooked food. One stop shop! The service will not be the kindest, but the quality and quantity of what this place has to offer outweighs that.

From what I've had the food is decent but as an outsider it's completely frustrating to order. The staff attitudes range from not particularly warm or helpful to unapologetically rude. There's no menu, the items are all unlabeled and they give zero indication for how much you're about to spend if you want to grab a couple things to go. Asking questions about their food items are met with rushed answers. Forget making eye contact with the person serving your food over the glass partition stacked with items on the shelf. How am I supposed to know what's inside your pierogi's? How is anyone supposed to know what's wrapped inside that blob of cabbage? I'm sure it's tasty but it would be great if they could provide a little more help to their non-Polish neighbors so we don't have to waste your time trying to point and ask what everything is. I've tried a few times to give this place another shot but each time I feel like I'm being ripped off and I leave annoyed that I just gave them my money. Label your food and have a clear system for how you charge for it!

I have been shopping here for years. Great products. I love this merchant. However, after months of Covid precautions I eagerly visited the store today only to find that the person behind the counter was not wearing a mask! This despite the sign on their door requiring those who enter to do so. Not so good. Why? My rating reflects my disappointment.

So, this place is a Polish deli known especially for its hot buffet. I'm Polish and the food there definitely seems genuine, and on top of that, most dishes are very tasty and almost always freshly cooked. It also has great cold cuts. Other than that, the store feautures a large variety of Polish products (but this is not the place to go in search of any American products, like the typical deli fare). It's worth mentioning that the service could use a little bit of work, especially the general level of politeness :), but these ladies are tough-but-efficient in a truly East-European way, so if you can get past that, this is a great place to get some very affordable, genuine food. It gets very crowded sometimes--from my experience usually during the "after work rush."

Food is pretty good, especially the pierogi. Sides are also very good as is the chicken soup. Great spot for homemade food.

The best Polish food I've eaten. The food is fresh n it moves. Always busy and happy service.

This Polish Deli is truly amazing. Every day you can get fresh and tasty traditional Polish dishes with amazing sides and freshly cooked soups. On top of that, they have great cold cuts, Polish sausages, wide selection of cheeses, Polish sweets and other amazing items. By far, it's best Polish deli in NYC.
