I had the chicken cutlet with potatoes and salad bar. The cost was 20zl - which is a deal considering the size of the chicken. After numerous school outings where we've ordered chicken and potatoes, this was BY FAR the best-tasting chicken and potatoes I've had. Really! This restaurant is small, but a great place for a late lunch or dinner with a friend or small group. They also serve breakfast! I highly recommend a visit to this tiny gem of a place on the east side of the river!

Upon entering, you'll see the extensive menu on the wall. Fortunately, it's translated in English and the staff that takes your order at the cash register booth speaks some English as well. Once you order, they give you a buzzer to let you know when it's ready for pick up at the kitchen window. My husband and I ordered a couple bottled fruit beverages, an espresso, mushroom and sauerkraut pierogis, a side of cream spinach and blueberry and apricot pancakes for 53 PLN or about $15 US! The quality didn't compare to the Michelin Star, Muzealna, we had the day before, but we appreciated the simplicity of our last meal before leaving Poland. The women's uniforms in the kitchen and how they serve food through the window is reminiscent of the communist era. In fact, the design of the restaurant makes one feel as if they're in a mess hall during that time. There are a few tables outside as well. Anyone visiting Poland has to try a milk bar at least once!

When you come to Poland, you pretty much have to try a milk bar, and this is one of the more…read morepopular ones in Warsaw. Some of the older reviews cite a complicated experience with potential language issues, but that's absolutely not the case now. The wall menu has English translations, you order and pay on entering, and are given a beeper to take to your table and wait for you to be summoned to pick up your food. Basically, like any fast-casual dining experience anywhere in the modern world. It's all very cheap, and it's a good way to try a sampling of Polish dishes. However, while the food is tasty and likely authentic, ingredient quality is understandably so-so (for instance, the popular veal schnitzel is made of a pressed/formed meat patty, as opposed to an actual slice of veal). For me, it's the kind of thing you do once, but then look for better quality versions of the dishes in one of the many good restaurants around town.

First, the late evening visit for dinner was cool b/c it was not busy and I was seated outside. I love the garden /patio feel to the restaurant. Inside, if you prefer to sit, there is a large restaurant setup, very comfy with an open kitchen, visible to pretty much everyone in the restaurant on the first and second floor. The food was exceptional. It was my first night in Warsaw and wanted to experience a modern take on tPolish dishes. The cold beet soup, beet greens with a quail egg was super delicious. The schnitzel was excellent and it came with unforgettable mashed potatoes and a cold cucumber, yogurt and dill salad. I also tried red Polish wine, a Cabernet. And that too was also very good. Service was super attentive granted I came at 10 o'clock in the evening on a weeknight, and English was spoken fluently by everyone I dealt with. This is a converted factory space , it is in the middle of an island of businesses, so your Uber driver will pick you up about 200 feet to the left of the restaurant as you walk out. Definitely will come back, on my next visit to Warsaw. End of Yelp.

My wife, daughter and I had a nice lunch at Warszawa Wschodnia during our recent trip to Warsaw…read more The food was excellent but the highlight was our delicious but unexpected borscht. We Ubered to the restaurant to walk afterward around the revitalized Praga District. The other clientele looked like trendy office workers so the staff was moving quickly to service the lunch hour crowd. The server asked us if we wanted the regular menu or "the lunch menu". It was lunchtime so we asked for "the lunch menu". We expected the server to return with a menu with lunchtime options - but instead less than a minute later the borscht arrived. It turns out "the lunch menu" was a 3-course prix fixe option and borscht was the 1st dish. We probably wouldn't all have ordered it had we understood but it was delicious with a beautiful beet red color and a pleasantly sour flavor. The main was a nice pasta with salmon and the dessert was an excellent pastry. We sat on the patio which was lovely. Very comfortable. Great restaurant with excellent food. In particular we loved our accidental borscht!

Service was good, efficiently and warm (and thankfully English was spoken). Three of us sampled: - Roast Pork knuckle: A large roasted chunk of pork, perfectly done and falling apart, so good. - Cheese platter: A selection of local cheeses, all very good. Served with a sprinkle of maraschino cherries on top, which was a little unexpected but fun. - Dumplings: We tried both of their options, meat and potato cheese. These were good and very filling. - Fried pork chop: Pounded thin and fried, man that was good. - Cole slaw: Purple cabbage, creamy dressing with a hint of horseradish I'd say. - Pickles: Large bowl of medium-small cucumbers, nice and crisp. Good food and a fun time, recommended if you're in the area.
