Stara House at the Original Farmers Market is a hidden gem! The staff were super friendly and welcoming, they smiled the entire time and made the experience even better. The food came out fresh, hot, and right on time. Everything was flavorful and well-prepared. You can really taste the care they put into each dish. Great spot for a relaxed, satisfying meal with top-notch service.

An Authentic Polish Gem in LA with the Taste of Real Polish Food! Stara House Restaurant at The Original Farmers Market – Bringing True Polish Tradition to California! After years of searching for an authentic taste of home, I finally found it here. Their dishes are absolutely delicious and simply outstanding—just like something your Mama or Grandma would make. I tried the kotlet schabowy (schnitzel) with potatoes, cucumber in brine, and buraczki, and everything was beyond delicious. And the pierogi? Absolutely phenomenal—I could eat them every day! Kamila and Weronika, the masterminds behind these incredible flavors, are doing a truly fantastic job! Beyond the amazing food, the Stara House team—Weronika, Mati, Laura, Ludmiła, Hector, Maria, Ola, Sara, and Kasia—are fantastic! They’re incredibly friendly and kind, creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes every visit a delightful experience. The owners, Bogumił and Kamila, bring true Polish tradition to LA—even introducing the first Krasnal Wrocławski here, with its original creator, Waldemar, present at their opening. Stara House is a dream come true for anyone craving real Polish food in Los Angeles! If you love great food and are looking for authentic Polish flavors in a cozy, friendly spot with a warm atmosphere, Stara House is the place to go. Highly recommended! Smacznego! 😋

So far I've tried all the pierogi they have and they were all excellent! I definitely have something to compare them to because I just got back from Poland a week ago and these are actually better than the ones I had when I was there. The proportions of the dough to the stuffing in the pierogi was perfect. The dough was perfectly cooked and had a great consistency. It's great to have Polish food right in the center of Los Angeles. Having owned a couple of restaurants in Los Angeles I know it's not easy to make a go of it, so let's make sure we support this restaurant. I know I will be eating my way through the whole menu. At first it was a little daunting parking at the farmers market and walking in to find the place. But having validated parking and such a close walk to the stand made it a breeze.

Loved this cozy little place! The menu at Stara Pierogi & Sausage is simple but full of traditional Polish comfort food. They have a great variety of pierogi (dumplings): the potato & cheese, sauerkraut & mushroom, and meat fillings. You can also get a mixed plate if you want to sample different flavors. They serve hearty mains like kielbasa with sides, schnitzel with cucumber and potatoes, and even kroket (breaded savory rolls) filled with mushroom, cheese, or meat. I also spotted potato pancakes with sour cream and apple sauce, crepes with sweet and savory fillings, and red borscht. If you're looking for a quick snack, their sides like pickled cucumber or fresh bread are just a couple of dollars. The vibe was cheerful, prices are very reasonable, and the food feels like a warm hug from a Polish grandma. Definitely recommend!

So excited this place opened at the farmers market! The perogies are delicious and were being freshly made when I ordered. The kielbasa had a nice crunch when you bite into it but not over powering in flavor. The pickle paired with it nicely. Highly recommend! I'm excited to go back and try the other items on the menu. They also have perogies you can take home to make at home.

It's a very casual Farmer's Market atmosphere and the Service is friendly. I ordered my favorite, Pierogi w/potatoes and cheese. Probably the best dough I've had since homemade, but I couldn't help but wish they'd had filled it with a little more potatoes especially considering the price, but I'll be back and give it another shot, sometime. I wish them well, its not often you find a Polish Cuisine place!👍

Delicious mushroom crocket & borscht. Will need to go back & try the rest of the menu. Everything is made with love from scratch. Welcoming customer service.

I had the Zapiekanka, and it was an absolutely authentic experience that transported me back to my time in Poland! It was incredible! The flavorful topping, the amazing, slightly crispy bun, and the fresh chives on top... Perfection! And the portion was huge! That Zapiekanka truly made my day! I will definitely be back!

This is 5 stars place Food 5 Service 5 Vibe 5 For the Eastern Europe people must visit place This is true place for true people Thanks to the owners and workers

My cutlet was sitting in a pool of oil. The meat also had a strong taste, might have been shoulder instead of loin. The cutlet was cooked too slowly, and the oil on the cutlet should have been sopped up with paper towels. The sides were tasty, though.

New spot at Farmer's Market! I say new, but it's now been open about 4 months and I'm just late to the game. If you have a hankering for some pierogies, this will definitely satiate that hunger. While my friend and I were eating, a couple came up to us to ask where we got our eats from - that must be a testament to it looking good and us looking happy eating it, lol! Nothing at Farmers Market is cheap, so out of towners may need to prepare for sticker shocker but it ain't no thing to us Angelenos! $50~60 lunch is kind of our norm for a casual meal out for 2. We got a big plate of Potato & Cheese Pierogies and then a second plate of Meat Pierogies. Both were tasty with a nice dash of bacon on tops and sour cream on the side. Why was I craving applesauce with this, too!? lol We enjoyed these though and we were surprised at how big the portion was. We were completely full with our two plates and actually had a few leftovers, as well. Everything was tasty and although I'm not racing back, I wouldn't hesitate eating at Stara House again. I want to try their schnitzel next time!

Delicious, traditional style pierogi, quaint home like environment in the heart of old farmers market Los Angeles. Finally an opportunity to eat delicious Polish food in LA with kind service, fresh ingredients and delightful experience.

Absolutely love this place. So nice to have a Polish place so close to home when you are having a craving for a home cooked meal. I had the placki/ potato pancakes today. Oranzada. And purchased paluszki cookies with chocolate and orange jelly. The placki tasted like my grandma's and the other treats were things you would find in my grandparents house or at my dad's house. Memories I cherish. Can't wait to try the pierogi next. Staff also very nice. Great addition to the farmers market. Dziękuję

I was extremely impressed by the quality, flavor, and the preparation of the schnitzel platter I ordered. The schnitzel was crispy on the outside, tender and moist on inside, and seasoned to perfection. The mashed potatoes were creamy, and the beat salad was very tasty, and the brine cucumber all combined to make a delightful meal. The ladies were the day I visited provided top notch customer service.

Here in Los Angeles, we don't have a lot of restaurants serving Polish or eastern European food. I was glad to see that a stall in the Farmer's Market was opening up serving Polish food - specifically Kielbasa and Pierogies. I loved it but I must confess that I grew up having pierogies on holidays and never had one that I didn't like! We had potato and cheese pierogies along with Kielbasa and I wanted to try something new, so I tried the Kolkriet which was filled with sauerkraut and Mushrooms, it was delicious. There is so much more on the menu that I want to try including the hot borscht! The guy at the counter was very helpful and was ready with recommendations!

It was good. Would have liked to add sauerkraut. They only have "sauerkraut and mushrooms". Weird. Plenty of people would want to add sauerkraut. Bread was good sausage was good. Price was high. 20 bucks. Wasn't 20 bucks good.

A nice Polish restaurant in the Original Farmers Market We were very excited to try Stara House as there are very few Polish restaurants Los Angeles and my hubby is Polish. We ordered the mushroom and sauerkraut pierogi, borscht and Polish Kielbasa with pickles. Everything was delicious and you could taste the homemade love put in to each bite. You order at the counter and they serve it to you when ready. Look forward to our next visit.

Fantastic with great quality food that hit my craving for Polish sausage. I heard about this place a while ago and finally I went to the Farmer Market today and tried it. The ladies there (family members I think) are lovely and friendly and did a great service of ordering, packing and get the food out fast. They do have plenty of different dishes and to go foods that you can prep at home. The stall is very clean cut and minimum well displaced. The foods definitely reminded me of Poland, especially midnight sausage stand that I tried with my Polish friend.

New place, girls are friendly.. pirogies were decent while a bit on the expensive side ( although I am sure due to the rent price) .. but the borscht, please don't peddle it as borscht, there was not a scrap of vegetable or meat..... please let your customer know this is BROTH that you are getting.. while 6$ is decent price Id rather pay more for an actual bowl of borscht...

Part of the LA Farmers Market building this was a great Polish food find. We ordered the mixed Pierogi plate and LOVED the cheese and potato ones. The sauerkraut and mushroom also had great flavor. The potato cakes had great flavor and consistency. Our favorite favorite was the Schnitzel plate. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and cooked. The accompanying sides of mashed potatoes and beets/ pickle complimented it perfectly. We went back at the end of the day to get an order of the cheese and potato perogies to go.

This was very good but $26? This portion size for this meal is highway robbery. Can't imagine a reason I'd return but it was tasty and well prepared.

One of my closest friends is polish so we drove from Redondo beach and her mom joined us. Did about $250 in damage for food there and to go! Let's just say our bellies were happy

Amazing! Get the Cheese and Potato pierogi! Taste authentic, no bs pierogi! They take their time here and make it fresh! Best pierogi in the west coast! Approved by my polish wife, says it tastes homemade! Haha I only wish they had pierogi z cielęciną(veal) But 10/10 strongly recommended

Absolutely delicious and tastes just like grandmas!! My favorite pierogi is the Farmers Cheese + Potato. I've visited twice and take my order to go. I sauté them in a dab of olive oil. *chefs kiss* Today I also picked up a paczki (blackberry) and it was fabulous. The drizzle of chocolate and candied orange peel on top was a nice touch. I love that I can walk to the farmers market and grab an order to go. Thank you!

Reviews for Stara House at the Original Farmers Market in Los Angeles CA. Finally, there's a place with delicious Polish food in LA! When I discovered Stara House, I was excited to give it a try in my ongoing search for the authentic taste of homemade Polish food--something I've deeply missed after living in the USA for 20 years! At the same time, I was a bit nervous, fearing another disappointment... but luckily, this time, it was a complete success! The food is absolutely delicious--you couldn't ask for more! It truly tastes like a meal prepared by your Mama or Grandma. I ordered kotlet schabowy (schnitzel) with potatoes and cucumber in brine, plus an extra side of buraczki--sooo good!!! And of course, pierogi! They are absolutely phenomenal! I could eat them every day and never get tired of them! The Stara House team is amazing--super friendly and welcoming. Kamila & Weronika, the masterminds behind these incredible flavors, deserves a Nobel Prize! She's an absolute sweetheart. And the rest of the team--Mati, Laura, Hector, Maria, Ludmiła--are all fantastic as well! I even had the pleasure of meeting the owners, Bogumił and Kamila, who are equally wonderful and very funny! :) Originally from Wrocław, they bring a strong Polish tradition to LA--even introducing the city's first Gnom (Krasnal Wrocławski)! The original creator of this tradition, Waldemar Fydrych, was a special guest at their opening ceremony, making the moment even more meaningful. I highly recommend Stara House--not just for the incredible food, but also for the warm and inviting atmosphere they've created. You won't regret it! Smacznego!

So happy to have this addition to the farmer's market. The pierogies were great. Definitely try the potato and cheese, but I also enjoyed the meat and the sauerkraut and mushroom. Wish I tried the combo platter cause the kielbasa looked delicious. Definitely on the pricey side but I will be back.

Get yourself the ROYAL KABANOS!! 10/10 super friendly. Will be back soon. dziękuję bardzo

Best pierogi I've ever had! Ordered the kielbasa combo platter, spinach and cheese krokiet, and potato and cheese pierogi. Everything was super fresh and delicious, but the real standout was the potato and cheese pierogi. Will definitely be back for more!

Finally a place to eat a bowl full of pierogi! This is 100% Polish grandma food. They have cute Polish decor and a little fridge with Polish products to buy. Love it, will be back!

This place is truly incredible. The food is authentic and so, so delicious. I got the kielbasa and pierogi combo. The pierogi were cooked perfectly, tender, with just the right amount of bite. And the kielbasa was juicy and full of flavor. The staff is truly kind and attentive. You really feel their care. I would love for this place to blow up. I loved the touches of authenticity in the old school plates and decor.

If you are craving, authentic, freshly made, delicious Polish food, Stara Pierogi & Sausage in Farmer's Market is a must visit. Their pierogis with super fresh chewy dough are soooo good. I love their "zapiekanki" which are loaded with mushrooms, delicious cheese to create this Polish fast food favorite. Their grilled Polish sausages are some of the BEST I've enjoyed in LA. Great quality, great menu of Polish favorites, and great service. Some people will say their prices are expensive, but cooking talent and good ingredients aren't cheap these days. I can't wait for my next visit to Stara and am already planning who to bring with me there next time.

So far I've tried all the pierogi they have and they were all excellent! I definitely have something to compare them to because I just got back from Poland a week ago and these are actually better than the ones I had when I was there. The proportions of the dough to the stuffing in the pierogi was perfect. The dough was perfectly cooked and had a great consistency. It's great to have Polish food right in the center of Los Angeles.

Amazing food!!!! Great service!!!! Very polish traditional food! Iam polish and I know what Iam talking about!!!

Probably the BEST Pierogi DOUGH that I've had in a very long time, so I gotta give it that! Honestly, it could/should have had more potatoes and cheese filling inside though, especially considering it's really on the expensive side for casual dining at Farmer's Market. I'll probably be back, at least once more, see if that stuffing improves inside that very soft and delectable dough!

First time trying pierogi. It's yummy, juicy, and goes well with white sauce. You can see the workers making pierogi fresh.

Heard great things about this place so we decided to go the other day. We placed an order to go.....mushroom and sauerkraut pierogies, meat pierogies, kielbasa and the pavlova. Again, all to go. Once the order was ready, we found our order already plated. Requested that they package everything to go. Had this for dinner that night. The meat pierogies were mealy like and the mushroom and sauerkraut were bland. The kielbasa was good. Unfortunately, pavlova is supposed to be somewhat hard. This one was totally mushy. Totally disappointed. Was not cheap either. No value here.

I love a place that FEELS like it's run by a whole family, and while I don't know if they are a family, I wouldn't doubt it. No matter who is running the register, they're always super friendly and helpful, and while I am sure the whole menu is delicious, I cannot escape the allure of the potato cheese pierogis and kielbasa because they're so darn good. And while I've only ever had the pavlova and the Dubai chocolate donut (both so light and sweet and perfect) ALL their desserts look phenomenal. Definitely worth stopping by.

Really delicious, handmade pierogis made with so much soul. You can taste how much care goes into their food. Can't wait to return for a sausage!

This place was awesome! What a great addition to the Farmers Market. The pierogi were perfect! My favorite was the Kraut and mushroom. The breaded crêpe was over the top good. Service was great too. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in town!

A lot of this food reminds me of things my great-grandmother and grandmother (Slovak) made when I was a kid. Total legit comfort food. The potato pancakes are next level. Can't wait to work through this menu. The stand is run mostly by Polish women, and they are super-friendly. They put a lot of pride in their food. Please check them out the next time you're at Farmer's Market. I want this place to stick around! They're between the two beer and wine bars, so you can grab an adult beverage to go with your perogies.

Absolutely delicious. I got the kielbasa and pierogi combo with the potato and cheese pierogi and it was perfect. Exactly how pierogi should taste!

Went back for another try at this new place and like it even more! I got the potato pancakes, fresh cooked, with apple sauce and sour cream. Excellent! Real east coast quality. Service is super nice, very pleasant and professional. I sat at the counter, which is small, but there's lots of seating in the Farmers Market. Highly recommend, especially if you're missing east coast delis and pierogies and kielbasa!

The food here is very very very yummy. A new addition to the farmers market so i'm sure not too many people know about it yet but it's definitely somewhere I will be coming back to!!
