Little Poland

Frankly shocked at the price for a half/​small order of 4 cheese pierogi, and they were shuttered by the DOH just after my visit
. The better deal is definitely the dine-​in $ 8.50 (same price) lunch special price, but at least they were quite good.

Ok so I went by yesterday and this placed has been closed by the health department. WTF I have eaten here a few times and although I heard stories of people getting water bugs in their take out food I always thought it was nonsense. Until the sign on the door said closed by the health department. Even if they do reopen I will not go back. Dont know what happend but I feel disgusted knowing this place was considered dirty.

Very decent Polish food and good prices. I went there with a friend for lunch and each had a soup and pierogis. Then, we ordered cheesecake and apple cake. The cakes were amazingly close to perfection.
The décor reminds me of old restaurants in Poland, which is kinda cute.

5 star for the best close to home polish cuisine! It’s the most amazing polish Resturant I’ve ever been too… Besides the ones in Poland of course! Try the platter to have a full blown polish experience! Delish!

A great polish food diner.
This place isn’t fancy, but it serves great food.
We were here on Thanksgiving night and my friend ordered the turkey special and I got the Combination plate.
The Turkey special isn’t that great, well, what do you expect, that’s not their signature dish.
The Combination plate is outstanding, Kielbasa, Bigios, Pierogis (Fried) and Stuffed Cabbage, are outstanding. Highly recommended for first timers.
The service is great.

Polish food is comfort and I’m not even Polish. It’s food that fills you up and keeps things traditional.
Little Poland has amazing soups and a bread bowl that helps you survive a New York winter. Although, hands down my favorite thing is the celery trout salad. It might be meant to share but I tend to enjoy the whole serving to myself.
One last note since it’s fall DO get the pumpkin pancakes before their gone (seasonal). They fill them with apples and I find you don’t always need syrup they are that moist. But if pancakes are not your thing then treat yourself to their hot chocolate or homemade muffins/​desert. Trust me all is good and I hope one day I can be a true regular there.

My family and I (husband, teen, and 21 year old cousin) were utterly delighted by everything we sampled at dinner tonight. Pierogi (boiled and fried), mushroom barley soup, veg soup, potato pancakes, kielbasa, fish cakes, stuffed cabbage, challah bread!)… It was a feast and everything was delicious! Highly recommended! One star short of 5 because the service was a little slow for a diner, but wait staff was lovely and just very, very busy. And again, the food was worth the wait!

Honestly, the only reason I’ll be coming back here is because I live close by and I love Polish food. There was a huge selection of Polish dishes, however I found it to be pretty overpriced. My kielbasa sandwich, which was literally one sausage and some sauerkraut on a roll, cost me $ 8…
It was a pretty busy morning and there was only one waitress taking orders. I watched our meal be put out on the counter and just stared at it for 5 – 10 minutes until we actually received it.

This place makes me miss Poland. I just recently got back from Poland, so I’ve been on the hunt for some authentic Polish cuisine. This is one of the very few Polish diners here in NYC. Which is surprising because who doesn’t like a good old fashion perogi?
I’ve been here a couple times already and had a decent experience both times. Most recently, I went here for breakfast. I was so bummed that I had just missed their breakfast special (which is available between open till 11:59. Very specific). Which I believe consists of a side of eggs, a drink, and choice of meat. Instead, I went with the omelette with spinach, cheese, and tomatoes. So GOOD. Better yet, it comes with toast AND home fries, which is overwhelming filling.
As for their other dishes during dinner, everything met my expectations. I tried their potato and cheese perogi, which tasted just like Polands.
It’s a cute, humble diner thats good for breakfast and a late night dinner. It’s not too expensive and the servers are respectful and nice. Better yet, it’s actually run by a Polish staff. So makes me feel right at home.

Stopped in last night with my daughter who had just started last week and Barnard College. We had already had dumplings for dinner a little bit earlier and were looking for a place to relax, have a good conversation, and beat the heat. This old school polish diner met everyone of our requirements. There were plenty of tables, ample air conditioning, a clean bathroom, a very nice staff and inexpensive and reasonably priced menu of Polish and Ukrainian food. Having already eaten dinner, we ordered rice pudding and strawberry blintzes. The rice pudding was very delicious and plentiful. We forgot to ask for cheese in the strawberry blintzes and the filling was somewhat cloying and pie filling like, but the blintzes themselves were fresh warm crisp and delicious. This diner serves breakfast lunch and dinner for extremely reasonable prices. Another polish diner in the neighborhood, Veselka had at least an hour wait outside at the same point in the evening. While this Polish diner certainly does not have the art deco, funky, hipster vibe, it has a very similar menu with far better prices. Check it out!

We stumbled upon this place a couple years back when we were seeing Stomp down the street.
For two years my daughter has been begging to go back! All the food is very tasty! We had 3 people in our party and it was less than $ 55. You will not leave hungry.
All the food we have tried is very tasty!

My Son had his Pirogi crave today so we decided to hit the east village. So first thing I do is go to Unilocal for help. We found a number of Polish places to ponder and decided on Little Poland just because one women posted she will never come here because they have «matzo soup» further mentioning that they «must have deep Jewish roots» because of this I chose to come here instead of the trendy place down the block

I never ate here and I’m pretty sure I never will. They claim to be a polish restaurant that serves traditional polish dishes. Well, I’m polish. I looked at their menu and I’m appalled. First of all, no one, I repeat, no one in Poland has ever heard of the matzo soup, unless they have some deep rooted Jewish heritage, which is EXTREMELY RARE. Next, one of the menu items is «Bigos with dumplings». Let me get this straight for you guys; you don’t put Bigos and pierogi on one plate, you don’t eat those two together. You just don’t. Finally, the lamb stew is more of a laughing stock. We don’t eat lamb in Poland. We don’t eat it in any shape or form, ever.
I’m done here.

I walk into this place, and the nostalgic aroma of my grandmother’s kitchen overcomes me immediately.
Much of my family emigrated here from Poland, yet the selection of Polish restaurants is limited in my native Buffalo (paradoxically, considering their dense Polish-​American population). I’ve tried 5 Polish restaurants within the 5 boroughs, and Little Poland gets the prize thus far for the best cuisine.
Truth be told, I’m a kielbasa and pierogies kind of gal, so my review is only reflective of these particular items. I’m not critiquing the authenticity of Polish cuisine, in which my knowledge is limited, as much as I’m praising my taste buds’ approval.
Little Poland does not skimp on portions; I’m almost always taking home leftovers and leaving very full. Their «Very Special» pierogies come with a secret sauce drizzled on them, and you can also opt to have your pierogies topped with sautéed onions.
You can mix your pierogie order up amongst the varieties of pierogies offered on the menu, and you can also choose whether you want them fried or boiled (same with the kielbasa). I always get my kielbasa boiled and my pierogies fried. I also order a side of Saurkraut. The result? Polish-​American perfection.
You’ll pay a bit higher of a price here than you will for Polish cuisine in Greenpoint, and they don’t serve alcohol. My partially Polish and heavily Buffalonian heritage dictates that a drink accompanies dinner, so this is why I deducted one star!

Authentic Polish comfort food. Pierogi heaven. If you crave pierogis and you’re down around the East Village this is your go– to spot to attain a pierogie baby in your belly!
Sure, it looks like a typical diner but don’t be fooled. As soon as the menu is handed to you it will become clear that this place serves up heaping portions of tasty Polish staples.
If you are really hungry and want to try out a few different items get the hearty Polish Platter and prepare to engorge on some hefty caloric gut busting wonderfulness. Stuffed cabbage, pierogis, kielbasy, and bigos. What a huge plate of food at a reasonable price. The combination plate is the way to go here, unless you just want to try out the half dozen or so different pierogis they offer. Feast away, and unbutton those jeans. Loosen that belt. Wear sweatpants.
As this spot is definitely old school you’ll typically find a more mature crowd here, but who cares when the food is this authentic. Nice service and clean surroundings too.
Oh, and if you can, leave some room for dessert as they have some delish homemade pies!

Ah, what a wonderful place to eat when you really want to go back to your roots. The food was authentic and hearty.
They had a summer menu when I went, which included strawberry pierogies-​fantastic! However, they did not have anything to go with them (my mother would always make a special sweet creamy sauce to go with these, which made them taste even better).
Also, I am a huge fan of their meat pierogies and bigos!
I saw a variety of different cultures in this restaurant when I went so I recommend this place to anyone and everyone!

Baby, it’s cold outside. Go get your comfort food on.
If you know me, you know I am a massive fan of carbs and food served in its own edible pouch. Naturally, pierogis and I get along incredibly well. This love affair runs deep, from authentic Polish fare to the giant bags of frozen ones from Costco (best if parboiled, fried, and finally broiled with cheese… you’re welcome).
It was Christmas Eve and I had just braved the line at Trader Joe’s and needed some fuel. I insisted to my holiday partner-​in-​crime that we check this place out. I had a mix of potato and cheese pierogis and a pea soup. All of hit the spot incredibly well. Their daily soup list is admirable, five+ options daily even on a holiday. The pierogis were so good we ordered some to go to accompany our Christmas feast that was to follow… slightly later than planned, because we were stuffed from Little Poland.

My sister and I went to Little Poland to get pierogi. This place was recommended by her coworker, and it did not disappoint. This place is essentially a Polish diner. We were seated immediately and our food came out quickly. We ordered the combination platter and the latkes to get the full experience.
Latkes — These were delicious, a perfect combo of potatoes, onion, and eggs. They were crispy and salty and definitely better than the ones at 2^nd Ave Deli. They came out with both applesauce and sour cream, and even though I usually prefer sour cream, their applesauce was great.
Combination Platter — This is the way to go at Little Poland. It has everything.
— Pierogi: you get 4, and you can choose the filling. We got 2 meat and 2 potato. We liked the meat one better, but they were both delicious. We got them fried and the outside was perfectly crispy.
— Kielbasa: very flavorful
— Shredded cabbage with kielbasa: usually, I hate cabbage, but I actually liked this, but it was my least favorite item on the platter
— Stuffed cabbage with rice and meat: this was delicious, and I really liked the combo of meat and rice inside the cabbage
I would definitely recommend this place for a casual or late night dinner.

Best things about Little Poland: all the soups! Many different kinds of borscht — who knew? Yum!!!
The stuffed cabbage is awesome and different than what I grew up with. Here it’s stuffed with ground pork with a creamy mushroom soup.
Lastly. The blintzes!!! OMG. OMG. OMG!!!

Food here was okay. It actually costed more than what we expected because it was different than what the prices were on Unilocal.So don’t look at those prices!
Got the combination platter which was decent. Get the special perogies which are fried! Also, like most Polish places, they are super generous with the serving portions! Probably can just share a plate. Ambience here is also pretty dreary at night, so not exactly a good date place.
