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!

We stopped here for a couple local beers and ended up buying a fried kielbasa appetizer as well,…read morethey even provided a basket of complimentary rye bread.

A small shop with minimal seating but still a very comfortable place to be and it was right off the main street extremely easy to get to from our hotel (Radison Collection). Waitress / Owner spoke little English, but we all managed to make it work by pointing to pictures on the menu. There were a few groups of young people here also having some lunch, and enjoying their time together. For lunch we had: - Salad plate starter - I wish I knew what some of the items were, all very tasty - Falafel platter with PLENTY of humus - Chicken shawarma - Chicken and fries - every place has fries All delicious, fresh, tasty, perfectly and cooked. I am glad we had the opportunity to come here and would definitely re-visit if it was local. We had a nice conversation [inEnglish] with a few people before we left which is always good ending.

I'm not impressed. I came here spontaneously and the moment I sat down and looked through the menu,…read moreI felt like leaving (but I didn't because I felt embarrassed). For starters - the prices are absolutely ridiculous and the owners should be ashamed of themselves. Taking the location into consideration, this place shouldn't charge 30+ pln for a dish. It's not that kind of a place. But since I felt too embarrassed to stand up and walk out, I decided to order pielmieni, a type of pierogies, but Russian. They differ from Polish pierogies by size (pielmieni are at least half the size of regular Polish pierogies) and are traditionally served in broth with a size of Russian mustard and/or cream. For the price of 23 pln, I got in a bowl of ridiculously overpriced pielmieni that I am going to rate as "meh, I've had better". They were average, mediocre.. And the broth was close to tasteless and looked borderline nasty. I also ordered a glass of their house wine since they had Georgian wines available and the price listed on the menu was 11 pln. So I was slightly surprised when I got my check and the wine was listed as 13 pln. Not cool. The only reason I'm giving this place 2 stars instead of just one is the fact that their menu, despite the ridiculous prices, offers a unique blend of far Eastern European and Caucasian cuisine as well as the fact that the waitress seemed nice and did her job properly (aside from not mentioning that the wine was more expensive than stated in the menu..) You can pay by card and the place is located right next to the "Nowolipki" tram station on Jana Pawła II. Be aware of the fact that the radio is kind of loud and the music goes from being traditional Slavic sung in Russian to regular Western mainstream pop songs. I won't be coming back.

Here, that means the Ukraine, Russia, Azerbaijan, etc. The waitress was quite attentive, and the place was fairly packed - though it *is* small. There was outdoor seating too, though we opted out because it was raining. Ambiance and service I'd give a 4.5/5. I ordered plow (pronounced pl-oh-v) from one of the -stan countries: it was like a cross between paella and Moroccan cous-cous. It was a bit greasy for me, didn't really resemble the photo on the sign, and my husband claimed the lamb tasted like pork, but I was content with it. He ordered a meat pasty, which was bigger than he expected, and an order of dumplings called masty. The beer was decent, he said. Overall, I'd give the food a 3.5/5.

This is your local's favorite place. It has been operating for at least 6 years ( I can't quite…read moreremember) now and have grown themselves a group of loyal fans. Not many people who don't live in the neighborhood know about it as it is not on the main thoroughfare. It's located in a patio between at least 3 apartment complexes and accompanied by a couple of other cafes who have chosen to settle in this nice & calm urban harbor. The cafe is almost always full on weekends even though the prices aren't low. Probably because they are a perfect spot for a brunch and if you are on your way biking towards the south Warsaw they are just a place to recharge after or before your ride. They also serve fresh, simple italian food; tramezzini, seafood, salads, pasta, desserts and very good coffee (Vergnano). They are dog and kids friendly ( and have been pioneering that approach since the beginning) and a perfect choice for a family or friends' lunch or breakfast.

This is exactly the situation at Shipudei Berek, a modern Israeli restaurant run by a passionate chef who wanted to bring a piece of Tel Aviv to Warsaw! I just can't emphasize how great this restaurant is--from the trendy modern decor, the friendly service, the videos of life & food in Israel playing in the background, and yes, the delicious food, Shipudei Berek is just bomb! The thing I loved the most was the mezze spread--10 different dishes of freshly prepared appetizers that come with every skewer entree: cabbage, tzatziki, red sumac onions, spicy carrots, shredded carrots, beets, grated tomato, tahini, hummus with chili, and pickled cucumbers & chilies! Every mezze dish was so fresh and seasoned so perfectly--if I had to pick a favorite, it would be the dreamy, creamy hummus, which just goes perfectly with the pita bread that comes on the side! On top of the mezze, we also got an order of the octopus shipud, which were four pieces of octopus marinated and grilled on skewers! This was delicious as well, though I'd probably suggest getting another protein, since the octopus came out a bit burnt using this preparation. I also got a freshly squeezed pomegranate juice, which had some of the whole arils floating on top! Delicious! Come, come, come to Shipudei Berek, and if I haven't given you enough reasons, here's one more: the prices are an absolute steal for the quality of food and the overall experience! At one point, our waitress noticed that our skewers were taking a while to arrive, so she asked us if we wanted extra mezze and refilled our requested plates for free!
