Cute Polish restaurant in downtown Milford. Love the atmosphere and old fashioned decor. Tried the pierogi dinner which was delicious. The only thing I didn’t care for was their version of dill pickle soup. It was thicker like a stew and heavy handed on the seasoning. Otherwise loved everything else we ordered. Service was slow the night we came but I’d still come back. Food was well worth the wait.
Delightful place. Hometown friendly. Good food. Perfect place for a spot of tea and a sandwich but all their offerings sounded good.
The best Polish food I've ever had at a restaurant. Potato pancakes, pierogi, meatballs, green beans, kielbasa, Golumpki (don't know how to spell lol). Everything was amazing even the Pickle soup and dessert (German chocolate cake and carrot cake).
I could easily leave a 6-star review if possible! Service was exceptional, we were served food in less than 10 minutes during dinner rush (place was packed to the brim!) and our waitress was the nicest person on Earth green beans and mashed potatoes were perfect, Gołabki was spot on as well. Atmosphere is just like grandmas kitchen with traditional folk music and a lovely touch of Soviet environment. Overall this place was one of the best restaurants I’ve been able to dine at, and it’s right in my backyard!!!
Cold by the window seats, but it was cold outside. Loved the golabki platter. Great Polish food. Green beans were delicious. Sauerkraut superb. (Kapusta)
I was so excited to try this place. It did not disappoint! The food was fantastic! My sister and I stopped for lunch and shared a combo plate. She is from Texas and we are not Polish, so this was her first experience with Polish food. She loved it all as well! This will be a regular stop for me from now on.
I probably would have told you I don’t love polish food but this place has changed my mind. The city chicken was so moist and flavorful, amazing green beans. Everything was so fresh tasting. Service was excellent, very friendly and attentive. I left stuffed but I have to get back for one of their scrumptious looking cakes! I loved all the personal decor too.
If you’re looking for amazing Polish cuisine, look no further. City chicken, pierogies, guampky (stuffed cabbage rolls), meatballs have all been delicious. My favorite is city chicken. I get it each visit. Must try their unique spin on potato pancakes that are so fabulous. Michigan Pop choices Faygo (red pop, rock n’ rye, ect) or Vernors ginger ale. If you don’t want Polish food, there’s so many other choices you can choose. If you’re just in the mood for dessert, they are one of the best places. An amazing variety of cakes and pies. They are worth the trip. The dining room feels like home. Decoration of old pictures, knickknacks salt and pepper shakers picture frames table cloths. So beautiful inside.
