The outdoor seating was really pleasant on the early summer night I dinner in. The servers were friendly and fluent in English which is helpful to tourists. The menu is very large which made it quite hard to narrow down my options but I knew I wanted to start with a humus so I tried the sun dried tomato blend which was absolutely lovely. The pita served alongside was so soft and warm. For the main, I tried the chicken tagine and enjoyed it thoroughly. The blend of spices was fragrant and flavorful. It was also very large and could easily be split between two people! I loved the food so much and wish to return next time I visit Krakow!

One word to describe the falafels at Mazaya is basic! While the ingredients are fresh, I don't as…read morenot impressed with flavors. The falafel needed more tahini and spices mixed with the chickpeas. I don't think it's worth the hype or maybe I am biased since the best falafels I've had are from MENA region. If you want a fresh falafel wrap with premium ingredients this is the place to go. If you want a flavorful wrap look elsewhere. I'm unsure if they altered the recipes and ingredients to cater to the clientele, but I was not impressed. I will say, the service was pretty good and I love the fact that they have an open kitchen. Since this is a takeout location, there isn't a restroom.

Mazaya is a chain of falafel shops with locations throughout Krakow. There's a reason this…read morerestaurant has been so successful: they turn out some of the crispiest, crunchiest falafels and creamy hummus, served with fresh herbs and vegetables (including pickled cucumbers and radishes) and Arabic flatbread. The falafels were nicely spiced, coated in sesame seeds, and fried to perfection, and they went along nicely with some of their red chili sauce, which added a spicy kick. On top of the fresh ingredients and spot-on flavors, the prices were amazingly affordable--what a great stop for a casual bite!

Delicious and both quite different in taste so worth trying both. Two salads come with the meal and the carrot salad had a nice sweetness and the arugula salad had good olive oil. All topped off with a beer to drink! Remember: pierogies take time to arrive at the table, so patience!

It is conveniently located near the main square and there is an outdoor market in the Jewish Quarter right outside. The decor is very rustic and retro, so totally fits the Polish mood. Their breakfast was very fresh, even their eggs tastes so much better than the ones I've had in the U.S. Some of the comments down below mentioned that the servers here are rude. I've had quite the opposite experience. Everyone here was very helpful and someone even swung by to check up on us. I honestly wish I found this place earlier, because I would have totally came back for seconds. Till next time Alchemia!

Don't get fooled by Alchemia, the other bar/restaurant that's connected to this one.

So happy I found this spot, many thanks to some recommendations from friends who have been as well as my Airbnb hosts. Tourists and locals, they all agree on this place.

Other dishes on other tables looked equally good. There were a few kids in the restaurant as well so good for families. There is a bar with the same name which is connected but the restaurant is on the side road. As everywhere in Krakow, very reasonable prices. You would pay at least double in every other tourist city in Europe.

The menu is in Polish only, but the kind staff help with the translating. The American burger isn't an option on the menu, but something the sign on the door recommended (and something I highly recommend too!!). You chose from white, medium and dark bread. The staff said that the "meat" in the American burger was seitan but I don't think it was, more of a chickpea burger style. But superdelicious and served with an amazing hot sauce and lots of grilled veggies. We had a side order of what we thought was chips but it turned out to be grilled root veggies. So fresh, tasty and healthy, much better than chips of course. The hamburger buns really crisp and good too. They have freshly made smoothies and juices, but I went for some really lovely, bottled organic fruit juices (elderberry and apples was my favourite). Nova Krova doesn't serve alcohol (July 2014) but you can conveniently buy beer or wine at the neighbouring liquor store and drink it at the restaurant. We returned for more meals during our stay in Kraków, I opted for seitan burger and tofu burger, very tasty but none was quite as good as the American style one. The vegan cakes are moist and delicious too. The prices very affordable, food made to order and the service fast and friendly. A must visit for good (vegan), tasty, organic, healthy food when in Kraków I'd say!

We ordered fries (potaties, beetroot and celery), a seitan burger and a quinoa burger. Furthermore one beer and one carrot juice. The idea is that you order at the bar, and grab your own drink from the fridge (and bring your dishes to the kitchen at the end). Waiting time around 10-15 minutes. The burgers were delicious, even though they are made from other stuff they tasted quite a lot like meat, certainly not bland. Good sauce also. We were very full at the end. Price/quality ratio was very good. Oh and there was free cake (for girls) because it was women's day! We'll be back for sure.
