Friday night, the wife had dinner with her co-workers, which left me with the kids for dinner. I asked my daughter what she wanted for dinner, and she replied, "Perogies!" I said, "Okay, get your shoes on, we're going for a walk." This perplexed my daughter all the way to the Little Polish Diner. I called ahead and ordered some potato and cheese perogies and french fries for the kids. I ordered myself some mushroom & sauerkraut perogies with a side of cole slaw. About 20 minutes later, we walked in the front door and the smell of yummy food made me smile. This place is just as tiny as I remember and there were a few people sitting and eating already, so it's a good thing we ordered to go. Our perogies were ready so we paid and walked back home. My kids loved their perogies and fries. I tasted theirs and I concurred. Then i tried my own sauerkraut and shroom perogies and they were also very tasty. My cole slaw was really good too. The perogies were larger than I remember, but delicious nonetheless. I'd like to try some of their other dishes on future visits though. I've been living in the Polish Village in Parma for 33 years. It's about time I get my perogie on more often! Recommend! read more

I can honestly say that I wish I had never stopped into this hidden gem because now I can't stop returning..lol. Prices are spot on and the quality of their food is absolutely fantastic. It's a shame they only have their chicken paprikash on Saturday because I could eat it every day read more

Just a little hole in the ground place on State Road. A few parking spots are right in front. Ordered the polish special, perogi, sauerkraut, stuffed cabbage, mashed potatoes and sausage. Only complaint is that the sausage wasn't a good Polish sausage, not really any garlic, but good. Did not have to wait long for it. Take out only. read more

They weren't kidding when they named it " Little"! 3 four top tables and 2 two tops and a counter. It was clean, welcoming and homey. I had never tried sauerkraut pierogi but I tried the sauerkraut and mushroom. Outstanding!! The pierogi while small in size are large in flavor! The waitress was attentive and patient , perfect for first time visitor! I will be back and if no seating is available, I'll take a to go order!! read more

Every time I'm in Cleveland I always stop in to get my favorite potato & cheese pierogis the best ever. Owner is very sweet & kind. Service is on point just be mindful kitchen closes earlier then 7:00pm. read more

Place is amazing. Got chicken paprikash it looked so good I forgot to take pic. Def home made and amazing. I can't wait to try more stuff here. Support your local restaurants people. This place is a must. read more

So, we took a trip to Cleveland from Columbus for an overnight. On the way back, we skipped breakfast so we could have a nice filling lunch here but NO, all they do is takeout. I'm sorry but this is how Covid has made businesses lazy. There are 4 two tops in this place and 2 bar seats and people can't sit down. Set some places and let people sit. We were supposed to take food out and drive 2 hours home to enjoy it. C'mon dude, you wanna be a McDonalds, then be that...wanna be a restaurant where people can come to be social and enjoy a meal, then be that...I'd prefer the latter. read more

So happy they are open for carry out orders. The meal was still nice and hot when I got home and you could tell it was made with love. The Tour of Poland was full of flavors and I can easily get several meals out of it. Definitely coming back. read more

Pork chops, mash potatoes and gravy, and pierogies. My coworkers and I come here every other Thursday and all order the same thing, and have yet to be disappointed. Great service as well, and pricing is very reasonable. Don't go on Fridays if you want the pork chops, they do fish instead. read more

1/11/2024 just got another outstanding meal, of 2 stuffed cabbage, mashed potatoes and green beans, if you love or just like stuff cabbage, this is the place to make you love stuff cabbage, been going here for several years, never a bad meal, thank you for keeping your great food !!!! read more

Little Polish Dinner has the best stuffed cabbage and they are big and delicious. The cabbage and noodles are fantastic, pirogies and the Polish Boy is great. I only wish this dinner was closer to home, I live in Elyria and I drive to Parma for the best Polish food ever. read more

Can't remember when I was here, but we wanted to sit down for lunch. Staff was kind of snotty when we asked about sit down. Didn't know it was carry out only. We expected a "diner" to be a sit down restaurant. Didn't even look at the menu. Very disappointed. read more

So good! Parma's hidden little gem. The owners and staff are great friendly people. Reminds me of my Nanas amazing cooking.

It's exactly as described! Never had polish food before and it was amazing! I Carnot suggest it enough. read more

Very clean inside, friendly staff and quick service. The food, whoa, the food. So delicious, tender pierogies, perfectly seared kielbasa and the freshest cucumber salad ever. Definitely a little gem worth supporting. read more

This was just like sitting in grandma's kitchen, waiting for some bone sticking, good quality food. Perogies, paprikash, stuffed cabbage, meatloaf! We went all out for our first visit, and I have no regrets. The seating is a little tough during peak hours. But everyone was nice about waiting like sardines for the food. Power of tasty food, am I right?? If this is your first visit, I would say the sauerkraut and mushroom pierogies are a must. I mean try them all of course, but these were my favorite!! read more

Little Polish Diner - Small little hole in the wall with AMAZING food!!!! - Polish Near Me - Parma, Ohio

WOW. We drove from the East side into Parma and would do it again and again Homemade to the core. Pierogis, kielbasa, stuffed cabbage, meatloaf REAL mashed potatoes. Even enjoyed the side cucumber salad. Fair pricing and excellent friendly service by Kim. A real authentic find. read more

I LOVED the pierogi sampler to go. Absolutely delicious for this gal who grew up on pierogis.

Apparently I'm Polish and had no idea. I grew up eating cabbage & noodles, stuffed cabbage, and pierogies! The Little Polish Diner is small and nothing fancy by any means, don't expect a ton of flavors, but to me it is quintessential comfort food. It tastes good and fills you up, perfect to eat before taking naps on Sundays. *Chicken Paprikash $9.99 (on Saturdays only) *Cheese Blintz (optional strawberry topping) $2.75 *Cabbage and Noodles $3-$4? *Cucumber Salad $1.95 *Sweet Cheese, Sauerkraut, Potato-Cheddar Pierogies meal $7.75 *Tour of Poland (Sausage & Kraut, Stuffed Cabbage, 2 Pierogies, Green Beans, Roll) $11.25 *Pyzy (meat stuffed dumplings) meal $9.25 The pierogies are on the smaller side, but they are served with buttery fried onions and a side of sour cream, mmm tasty. The cucumber salad is refreshing and perfectly accompanies the carb loaded meals. Chicken Paprikash is one of my favorite dishes and they do it right here! Everything is simple, but made well, you can definitely imagine your grandma in the kitchen. I will be stopping here again! Just note that the $2 off Yelp check in offer is no longer being recognized. This needs to be removed from Yelp. read more

The perogis are delicious, we got sweet cream, potato and cheddar, potato and farmer's cheese, and sauerkraut and mushroom. Great kielbasa too. The staff was so lovely, we chatted while waiting for our food and they very generously snuck more than we payed for into our bag. Definitely will be coming back again and again. read more

Too delicious for words and totally addictive. One of my must stops when I am in Parma.

Had a taste for Perogies on Ash Wednesday and found A Little Polish Diner here on Yelp. Ordered potato and cheese and sweet cheese perogies were very good! Onions chopped up real fine and just enough butter! Also had potato pancakes which were also very good. I got a cheese blitz which I never had before and Wow was so good should of ordered more! Will be back again soon to order other dishes like fish fry and chicken paprikash. This is carry out only but that's ok with me, stop in you will really enjoy!! read more

Little place, little pierogies, big taste. Happened upon this place while garage sale hunting with mom in Parma. Mom had been here before and really liked it. As usual, mom was right ;) The dining room is tiny, only about 8 tables. The decor is well.... let's just say Polish people aren't exactly known for their fashion sense. I can say this because I'm Polish ;) Very quaint though, including Polish folk art on the wall. I ordered the Polish Boy which normally comes with fries, but for an extra $1.75, you can sub 3 pierogies. I was all about that. The sandwich was simple with smoked kielbasa and sauerkraut, but great tasting. I threw a little sour cream on it for I put sour cream on everything. The sausage was nice and smoky and had great "snap". The little 3-bite pierogies were equally great. I opted for the potato cheese. The dough was nice and light and the filling was exceptionally tasty. They contained more cheese than most I have had...and I've had a lot. The potato tasted good too, not reconstituted like some. There are daily specials like pot roast and chicken paprikash. I'll definitely have to come back for the chicken! read more

Overall food ranged from so so (paprikash) to very good (perogie and stuffed cabbage). Mushroom and sauerkraut was a great combo for the perogie choice. Skip the canned green beans and cucumber salad. Yikes - flies we encountered - several. Inside is small and cozy with just 5 tables. Looks like all furnishings and decorations, including carpet are original. Pretty warn looking but diners are not usually fancy. Hubby's review based on paprikash - one and done...says we will not be back p.s. Don't bother checking in as they will not accept your Yelp check in offer. Told they don't work with Yelp anymore. read more

This is definitely a neighborhood gem! My sister, a friend and myself make monthly plans to check out a restaurant that serves pierogis we are on the hunt to try them all! This weekend we made it to the Little Polish Diner and it was fabulous. This diner seats about 20 people and is so affordable that you will want to keep coming back. At least that is how I feel! Between the 3 of us we ordered the Potato & Cheddar, Mushroom & Sauerkraut and Plain Sauerkraut Pierogis, a Cabbage Roll, the Cucumber Salad and the Cheese Blintz's with Strawberry Topping. Everything was extremely delicious. All of our bills were under $10! I also give props to the woman working the front of the house. She takes orders, serves and buses the tables. She was very prompt with service and very friendly. The only downfall for me is that I can only make it here on Saturdays to eat. Although, it might be best that I don't live or work closer because I could see myself eating here everyday. read more

Called in a lunch order for three, all were delicious! The Pierogies were great! And the stuffed cabbage was awesome as well! If I lived anywhere near Parma I would eat here regularly! Family run and home made and it shows! Overall Great food! Thank you very much! read more

GREAT food, just like Grandma made!! They really do need to move to a slightly bigger location though. Great Food, the people are nice, my son thinks the chicken soup is heavenly. Everything I have had there has been delicious. read more

I had heard so much about them and had not been Rhee for years . Ordered the sampler and other person ordered a different item . The food was mediocre at best read more

Closest to grammas cabbage rolls lil spot that should be exposed as one of theeeee best around !

Was going to meet a friend who was working in the area Saturday for lunch and suggested here. Service was great & friendly thanks Kim. The Pyzy was excellent, plenty of bacon and onion, along with the cucumber salad. Today the paprikash was just ok, had tender chicken and all, but something was different from prior visit. Overall, still a good local joint read more

This place is niesamowity! (Aka amazing!) every time we go I try the special. Today's was Swedish meatballs over noodles. I also always have to get a small plate of pierogi and a kielbasa. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, it's all great! Small place, handful of tables, but everything can be gotten to go! read more

On a recent trip to Ohio we stumbled upon this spot & couldn't be happier. This restaurant is quaint and cozy, and leaves you with a full belly and a warm heart. We chose to sit at the counter because it was a cold day and that was the further point from the door to avoid a draft. There are about 20 seats total in the spot including tables and the counter. I can't recall how many "regulars" stumbled in or called to order while we were there but it was astonishing. Their pierogi menu had 7 flavors that day if I recall correctly, and they were all delicious. I couldn't choose a favorite if I tried. We also tried the kielbasa and sauerkraut which were both flavorful and perfectly cooked. The cabbage roll was amazing! We screwed up when ordering, and the lovelY lady at the counter forgave our snafu and corrected our order without charging us more, which we were super grateful for. We also tried the bigos, but I forgot to snap a photo, flavorful and savory. Overall the customer service would draw us back again, but the food would have us there for every meal if we lived closer. There is plenty of history inside the walls of this place and it was so authentic. There was adequate parking behind the restaurant even with the lunch rush. We can't wait to return on our next trip! read more

one word, CHICKEN PAPRIKASH, that's more than one word but it needed to be said. Seriously, the BEST chicken paprikash i've ever had. This place isnt fancy, in fact its kind of divey but thats what give it its character, they focus on cooking actual home made food instead of the glitz and glamour of paint swatches and it shows in every bite you take! The hours of operation can almost break my heart because it took me three good tries to finally get here ON time, the kitchen closes 1/2 hour before closing so leave it to me to be late. Awesome staff and family owned business is everything, SUPPORT YOUR LOCALS! Their pierogies are out of this world and Kim, if you're reading this YOU ARE MY GIRLLLL! I really loved the at home vibe this place gives off. Super affordable and family oriented, we will definitely be back! read more

Great food. Friendly. Homey, comfort food includes Stuffed cabbage, variety of pierogi (plain, cheddar, sweet cheese, sauerkraut, and mushroom-sauerkraut fillings), excellent potato pancakes, blintzes, kielbasa, burgers, sandwiches, fish, meatloaf, shrimp on menu. Takeout prepared dishes and fresh, homemade pierogi available in bulk for takeaway. This location appears to be beloved by locals. read more

My friend and I had a craving for pierogies and ended up here after a reading a few recommendations. Nothing fancy and only a few tables but the food it authentic and absolutely delicious. We tried a variety of their pierogies including sauerkraut, potato and mushroom. The potato and cheese were my favorite. We also split a plate of their Saturday special: Chicken paprikash! It was almost as good as my moms! Splitting a single serving of paprikash was more than enough for both of us however I was a little surprised to see a charge for a 'sharing plate' on the bill. This place serves up the perfect polish comfort food but the establishment. However if you care not a fan of 'cozy' diners you might want to opt for takeout. I know that I will defiantly be back. read more

OMG!!!!! this place just has to be the best polish food i've ever had!!.. the stuffed cabbage rolls are the things of dreams, the pierogi are just perfect, and the meat loaf!!! oh my!!! this place is such a perfect gem!!!! read more

No bad. IMO not cheap( 10.75 for pork goulash over dumplings, about same for most meals) The goulash was the special and cold in some places, warm in some and hot in some with a curdled gravy. It tasted ok, actually pretty good , just off putting that it was spilled all over the bowl and plate and looked curdled, like if you boil something with sour cream in it. Guessing it was made earlier and reheated in a micro. The potato dumplings were yummy. Husband had 2 nice looking pork chops with canned or frozen green beans and what the waitress admitted were not real mashed potatoes. They had a number of carry outs for pierogies, maybe the special wasn't the right thing to order. I just wish they went the extra mile and made real potatoes ( cabbage rolls and fake mashed potatoes = sacrilege) and hadn't curdled the gravy read more

The folks running this place were so kind, and my partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our pierogi meal. The only think I'd improve upon are the open hours... I would love to visit more often! read more

Read that Pierogi was a must have when in Ohio so found this little gem on Yelp. A tiny, little, family owned diner with 6 or 7 small tables and additional seating at the counter. Old but full of nostalgia. We had the potato cheddar, potato, mushroom and kraut Pierogi and potato pancakes. All delicious. Service was a little slow with only one waitress and all the tables full but she was super friendly and personable. Plenty of parking behind the building. read more
