I'm so thankful that I was able to go support this local business today. The pierogis were so wonderful and delicious. I'd definitely recommend getting them boiled over fried since I think you were able to taste the flavors more when boiled. The service was also excellent. Definitely hope to return again soon! read more

Baba's Pierogies - 5 Boiled Pierogies (potato and cheese) - Modern European Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Pierogies are 1 of my favorite foods so I am very picky and I know what I like. This was hands-down one of the best places I've ever had pierogies. I got the mac & cheese and bacon and cheese pan fried. They are so delicious. There was a short wait and very quick service especially since they hand make the pierogies to order. read more

My fiancé and I came here on a Friday night, so it was very packed! Luckily we were seated in about five minutes. We ended up choosing 2 orders of the 5 pierogies, so we could eat 5 pierogies each. We tried the mac and cheese flavor as well as the jalapeño flavor with their special sauce, which was similar to sriracha mayonnaise. The mac and cheese one was my particular favorite. Pan-fried dough and mac and cheese - what else could I have asked for? It's a simple flavor but delicious nonetheless. The jalapeño one was my fiancé's favorite. This has more flavor due to the jalapeño flavoring present along with the cheese and potatoes. Both paired well with their special sauce, which we recommend especially as it costs only $1! Eating at Baba's was a wonderful experience and the staff members are so kind as well! I am glad we finally tried out Baba's! read more

I was excited to finally try Baba's Pierogies since I have heard a lot of good things about this restaurant! If you happen to be in the Gowanus area I highly recommend stopping in. Even if it's a bit out of your way I would say it's worth the trip if you love pierogies! I visited with a few friends so we got quite a spread of the different menu options thanks to recommendations from our server! We got a mix of boiled and fried and tried Mom's Fav (cheese); jalapeno (a fun and non-traditional option); Baba's potato (a classic). I have to say that the potato was my favorite, it was warm, soft and so rich. Though all were absolutely excellent - 15 pierogies for 3 people was great and we were pretty hungry. We also decided to try the carrot slaw and homemade apple sauce which was flavorful side dish to complement the high level of carbs of the pierogies. Last but not least when I heard there were crunchy hazelnut, chocolate dessert pierogies with whipped cream we couldn't resist. They were rich, but a great dessert. I love that Baba's is a family-based Slovakian restaurant. Part of my family is from Slovakia a few generations back so it was great to try Baba's and I will certainly be back. read more

I don't do a lot of "exercise," so after biking down a hill for about six to seven minutes, I felt as though I'd earned some pierogies. (I know we just ate lunch, but coasting slowly is quite taxing.) Well, Baba's has pierogies, and they are the finest pierogies you'll ever eat. They are handmade to order in this adorable little shop with pictures on the wall of Polish grandmothers perfecting the recipe years ago. The pierogies come in orders of five or nine, with the larger size only costing a couple dollars more, so you really have to get more pierogies unless you're an idiot. Some people say "go big or go home." I say, "Go big and then go home and eat all the pierogies." I went with the bacon and cheese variety. Pan fried, because nothing is better boiled. And I know these delightful little bombs of flavor served with sour cream are pierogies because the big sign outside says they are, but I'm going to call them what they are: Loaded baked potato dumplings. And they are the best. read more

We were in town from out of state and watched them hand stuff the perogis from the bar. It was a delicious small spot to stop in and we loved everything we tried. Highly recommend read more

Tasty and filling pierogies; good pricing; friendly staff; cute little space -- all the makings of a great restaurant. We had the potato (boiled) and mac and cheese (pan-fried) pierogies, as well as the blueberry dessert ones. The potato ones were delicious; the mashed potato and cheese filling was smooth and creamy. The mac and cheese pierogies were also delicious -- solid mac and cheese filling. I would have happily eaten a bowl of each of the fillings, but it's nice that they package them up neatly in dough. We had 9 pierogies each for the potato and mac and cheese, and we were stuffed after those. The blueberry pierogies were pretty good as well, accompanied by delicious homemade whipped cream. One suggestion: I wish the blueberry pierogi filling was more like blueberry pie filling -- like a few whole/smashed blueberries and a blueberry sauce/jelly. Currently, it's more like just blueberries in a dough vessel. Price: 4/5 Quality: 5/5 Quantity: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 read more

Delicious. Love the Spinach and Feta with caramelized onion and the sweet Chocolate Pierogies.

Hands down for the best pierogis ever! The place is super cute, love the clean design! and they were very accommodating. We were 6 people+1 toddler. They don't have hugh chair but they do have a booster seat, so it was all we needed. Menu was basically Pierogies plus salads, etc. We ordered: Pan fried (9pcs order): bacon cheddar, mom's fav Boiled (9 piece order): spinach&feta, potato cheese 3 orders of kielbasy. So goodddd!!!!! Pan fried was just perfectly crunchy at the bottom and boiled were al dente. The fill for everyone of them were so good... we had extra caramelized onions as well. It was that good and we so hungry that added extra order of 1 kielbasy and baba's potato! Our waitress was super nice and knowledgeable. She recommended for each of the type of Pierogies if it was best pan fried or boiled. For drinks, lemonades and beer. All super good Chill small place that do not rush on giving you the check. Definitely one place to go back again! read more

Tonight was second ever time here. My first time it was extremely packed and busy but today, at least at the time I was here, (around 6ish-7 pm) it was nice and peaceful. Only customers were me and a family dining in. I had my order to go. I ordered three types of pierogies (we call it Vareniki in Russian) and kielbasa sliders. So it was 5 of each type of pierogi. Sauerkraut, spinach n feta, and cheddar with bacon bits. This type of food is standard Slavic/Eastern European fare. Not for the weak hearted. Neither it is very healthy. So I wouldn't recommend eating it on the regular. I'm talking about heavy kielbasa in particular. But damn is it good. And boy do those pierogies hit the spot. Foodgasm achieved. Oh yeah, the owner is uber nice and takes all the orders himself. read more

wow! traveling for work and ,lucky for me , my hotel was right around the corner. found baba's when out for a walk. the next day ingot dinner from here - ordered the "mystery Pierogies" and got six of these delicious, handmade pillows of goodness for the price of 5! the food was so simple , but so delicious ! the mystery was three different Pierogies - 2 spinach and feta, two sauerkraut, two bacon and cheddar ... they were perfect ... cannot wait for work to bring me back here! Also a, the hand cut fries were unbelievable read more

TIL pierogies and piroshkies are not the same things. Don't worry, I found out before I got here, so I was mentally prepared. My friends and I appreciated the simple decor and the brightly lit dining area. Seating was comfortable, and didn't feel too tight, even though it is a small space. However, I wouldn't plan on bringing large groups unless you are planning on renting the entire space. Their menu is simple. There are a variety of pierogies with the option to order them fried or boiled. You also have the option of adding on toppings or additional sauces, which is a nice way to be able to customize your meal to your liking. For each type of pierogies, you have the option of ordering 5 or 9, priced accordingly. In addition to pierogies, they also have an assortment of sandwiches and salads. If you don't know what to order, definitely ask for recommendations! We enjoyed everything we ordered: boiled sauerkraut pierogies with sautéed mushroom, fried mac and cheese pierogies, jalapeño pierogies, and the 8 piece schnitzels. My favorite was the schnitzels - they are deep fried to perfection and served with a delicious macaroni salad. The pierogies were okay by me, with my favorite being the mac and cheese ones. I also loved the sautéed mushrooms and could have definitely had just that by itself. My friends were fans of everything but the jalapeño - which they claimed had an odd texture. I didn't find it so bad, as it was pretty much mashed potato in a pierogi. Service was friendly and the ordering/payment was extremely streamlined via iPad app! read more

Interesting place. Stopped by here with my daughter after day-camp. The food is Pierogies - as the name suggests. Executed quite well and cooked to order. There are savory and desert pierogies. Some nice drink choices as well. Taking off 1 star for the pricing. Even though Park Slope is expensive the prices for pierogies are pretty steep for a simple dish. If they were sold off a food-truck - it would be half price or less. A plate of 5 is usually enough to fill you up. My favorite were Feta and Spinach - which had a more refreshing filling (some others are on heavier side). For desert - Blueberry pierogies with whip cream were nice. But it's all a bit heavy, so recommend lemonade or other cool drink to cut through density and savory\sweet aspects of the pierogies. PS. Frankly I think this place is good to have few plates across multiple people and share. That way both the calories and price can be distributed to a more palatable amount read more

I went there for pickup. The service was fast. The sauerkraut Pierogies were very tasty. I also got the snitzel bites for my husband, but after tasting both, he preferred the Pierogies :) I would go back for quick bites! read more

I was just thinking about pierogies and realized that I haven't made my review here yet. We ordered 'mac and cheese' and 'bacon and potatoes." The bacon and potatoes were definitely a favorite! 6 pieces (3 each of the flavors mentioned) was enough for me to be full. The portion and size were decent. The filling was decent as well. Overall, I've tried enough pierogies to determine that this one is quite legit. The restaurant is nice. The staff are nice. I like the open kitchen. I like that they make the pierogies by hand. Parking can be tough. Overall, I hope to come back! read more

Delicious pierogis! We picked up two orders of 5 pierogis as a snack, but already want to come back for more. We got boiled jalapeño pierogis with smoked bacon bits and pan-fried potato and farmer's cheese pierogis with caramelized onions and sour cream. I prefer pierogis pan-fried because it's crunchy on the outside, but my partner preferred the boiled ones. For both of these, every bite was delicious.

Dropped into Baba's Pierogies on Saturday evening. A pleasant surprise and a place I know I will be back, because the food is simple, yet so delicious. Quality: Baba's Pierogies is just a great little spot. They absolutely do pierogies right and no matter which you order, you will leave happy. We stuck with boiled, which I prefer over pan fried, and selected Baba's Potato, Potato & Cheese, and Bacon Cheddar. I think my favorite of the bunch was the Potato & Cheese, which has a little sweetness, but the Bacon Cheddar was awesome as well. The true surprise however was the Kielbasy Sliders. Four sliders of kielbasa, cheese, sauerkraut, and mustard on brioche buns. It is a good way to break up the pierogies and the kielbasa was phenomenal. We didn't have room this time, but next time I want to try the dessert pierogies. Quantity: It is easy to go overboard on the pierogies, but I think our order was pretty good for two. Value: $9-$11 for orders of 5 Pierogies. $13 for the Kielbasy Sliders. Ambiance: Baba's Pierogies is located in the Gowanus area of Brooklyn. It is just a tiny shop, that really seems more setup for take-out. They have a small sheltered outdoor area, and then two tables open inside. Even at full capacity it is hard to imagine many more seats opening up inside. The key element of decor inside is two painted maps of Europe covered with pictures of the owner's grandma, the inspiration for the pierogies. It is a unique tribute and shows the care put into the food and the tradition there. Crowd: They only have two tables inside, and just a few more outside. However, during our short visit there was four orders picked up to-go. Service: They have a very small space, so they have added extra barriers to make it clear where you stand and wait. Unfortunately that was still not enough for some rude guests who clearly haven't been paying attention over the last year. Parking: A fair amount of spots right out front. read more

Every culture has them - pierogies, dumplings, pelmeni, empanadas, chebureki etc. I've tried a lot in my life and Baba's are great! Stopped by here before a comedy show at Haylard's down the street (review coming soon). Ordered the Mac and Cheese x9 and Bacon and Potatoes x9 to split among 3 ppl. 6 per person is more than enough without getting greedy. The mac n cheese were good but the bacon and potato were the bomb! Topped with sour cream, I could've eaten all 9 myself! I'll have to come back to the the rest. Haylard's has a free comedy show every month after all. read more

Baba's Pierogies - Very Lovely - Modern European Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I stopped by here today after walking past it so many times to go to Whole Foods. We ordered a full order of bacon cheddar pierogies, the potato latkas, and schnitzel bites. The interior of the restaurant reminded me of a nice dining room that you would be sitting in in a suburban neighborhood with wooden tables and wooden booths/chairs. It was quite cozy and homey. The service was a little on the slower side, but also understandable as there was only one waitress working the restaurant. The pierogies also seemed like they were made to order (I saw a couple of people in the back pulling the dough). While I understand the I'm usually more of a veggie person, the latkas and schnitzels were pretty good, just a little pricey for what they are. 3 potato latkas were $10.50 and it came with a side of sour cream and a side of applesauce. While it was decent, I don't know if it was quite worth $10.50. The schnitzel bites were also pretty good, but not sure if they were worth $13.50. Overall, decent food..just not sure if it's worth the price. Would stop by again to try some of the other pierogie flavors. And maybe even some of the dessert pierogies? read more

Update: Have been many times now. The service is always excellent, the pierogies (every one that I've tried) are wonderful. Get the Helen's dip. And get the latkes if they have them. Growing up in an area with many people of Jewish descent, I've had latkes many times... the latkes at Baba's are mind blowing. Wow, pierogies were never on my radar... until now. With some fresh (maybe just more American) takes on what I used to consider a mushy, somewhat foreign dish, Baba's really is worth going out of your way for. We had the potato and cheese and the jalapeño, which wasn't spicy at all. Both pan fried. Paired it with horseradish dip and sour cream and chive dip, both quite delicious. It was also very quiet for lunch and the service was great. read more

I'm a Suffolk guy, to you brooklynites, that might as well mean montauk or Mars... Now I don't get as west as I'd like as often as I'd like, but This particular day, I was in philly; yup, I was eating cheesesteaks and buying fireworks If you know me, I'm not satisfied with 6 cheesesteaks, okay?! I'm going to try as many things from as many places as I possibly can. This being said pierogis were a chance craving that I was going to stop in jersey for on the way home, but plans change and thank god they did!!! As soon as I crossed the bridge I made a B line to Baba's and man oh man was it a big payoff. They have a few special types that aren't always on the menu, but we managed with a boat load of pierogis to send us rolling home. They were all better than the next and you need to go try them for yourself. They had just opened not a month or so earlier and I was pumped to be an early customer. He told us all about growing up and his grandmothers pierogis, it was awesome! We entertained him I guess, it was a fun night just hangin' out with the girl, talking to the owner, and eating these little pouches of heaven. Hard to pick a fave but I feel like the classics were amazing as could be. read more

I would love to have tried food if their hipster-ass waiter didn't bully me out the door. I waited outside in response to an ambiguous sign, "1 group at a time inside". I saw two groups inside, Cuomo. He came to the door, said he'll be right with me after rushing past to the outside street, and then said I can wait inside, as if totally obvious. So in freezing temperature, of course I went inside. My boyfriend sat at a bench while I read the menu and thought of what to order TO-GO until the waiter came back from his car, or whatever...Can't say it looked authentic Polish (Jalapeno pierogi?) Waiter comes back in and scolds me like a child for even reading the menu where I stood... or for existing, it seemed. He nearly shoved us out the door in telling us to read a tiny-menu in a cramped hallway. Super disappointing, but probably can't expect better in a neighborhood like Gowanus, which is overrun by unwelcoming transplants likely getting some sort of poisoning from the toxic fumes which makes them very unsavory. Not impressed. read more

Soooo good! Great food, super sweet staff! I love that they have vegan options, and my boyfriend loved the jalapeño pierogis.

Ordered the boiled potato and cheese pierogies, pan fried spinach and feta pierogies, and grilled kielbasy.

Super casual, affordable, and scrumptious! It is all about the pierogis here, you can get them boiled or fried. We went for the latter, and tried a whole bunch of them. I went for an order of the spinach & feta with mushrooms on top, we split bacon cheddar with caramelized onions, and my friend loved her sauerkraut pierogis with bacon on top. The pierogis were fried to perfection, not oily, and tasty fillings. You can see how beautiful the toppings are! So generous and fresh. If only we had enough room for the dessert ones! read more

My friends and I liked Baba's Pierogies so much that we came here twice in one afternoon! On a Saturday afternoon around 1pm, the restaurant was pretty full. We decided to order three types to try: jalapeno (boiled), spinach & feta (boiled), and mac & cheese (pan fried). All three of them were delicious! The pierogies did take a while to come out of the kitchen, but we could tell they were all freshly made. Later that afternoon when we came back around 3:30pm, it was still (surprisingly) pretty full. This time we ordered potato cheese (boiled), bacon cheddar (pan fried), and mac & cheese (pan fried). We also decided to get some of the homemade applesauce and Helen's dips, which are toppings that you can add for an additional amount. Helen's dip was a blend of sriracha, lime juice, and sour cream, and it added a nice kick to the savory pierogies. The service here was also wonderful. Our water was always refilled promptly and they apologized repeatedly for the table wait, even though we didn't even mind. One of the guys working there was so incredibly nice - even after we had left the shop and were standing around outside, he came to the door to say thanks for coming. Baba's Pierogies is definitely worth a trip to Gowanus! read more

This has been our go-to pierogi spot for years, great for tasty bites for pickup or takeout!

Stopped in for a quick bite to eat & we were pleasantly surprised how fresh & delicious our lunch was. We started with two small orders with the cucumber salad & then quickly realized we wanted round two! Ultimate favorites were the fried bacon & cheddar as well as the sauerkraut with the perfect hint of caraway seeds. The staff was incredibly friendly & very knowledgeable of their menu. Highly recommended to those in the area to try and yes their not cheap but their quality far surpasses any other pierogis we've had! read more

Very appreciative of having this gem in the neighborhood! I've eaten many pierogis in my lifetime, and also made some myself. This place just makes the best pierogis. The dough is rolled out so thin, they are very delicate. Love the simple potato and always add in either sauerkraut or onions. A real treat. read more
