really happy to see a polish restaurant being this popular in york and had great expectations. the service and the food were both amazing. i appreciate vegan and vegetarian options on the menu and their own spin on the traditional polish food. vegan gołąbki- delicious! was hoping to try more but generous portion meant it was very filling. adore that food is served on bolesławiec plates. wish we were seated upstairs, or by the doors to the canal as the ‚man cave’ was not exactly my cup of tea. on a slightly pricier side, but worth a visit anyway.

Amazing experience, Norbert the waiter was absolutely incredible and able to talk us through all the drinks menu and food with charm. We couldnt recommend the food more, the service of the whole team was outstanding. Well able to handle a nut allergy without going OTT, very appreciated. Definitely go with a large appetite and don't leave without taking a slice of cake to go! We'll be back again no doubt

I went there for dinner a couple of days ago. The food was delicious and the service very attentive. I had a mocktail, which was served with very tasty bread and sauce, dumplings as a starter, pan-fried cod with spinach and a poached egg as my main dish along with pear cider, and a latte instead of a dessert. I loved everything! As I was in York for tourism, I won't have the opportunity to go back soon but next time I go to York I'd like to try other food from their menu as they all looked tasty!

Such an incredibly cozy restaurant and even lovelier staff. The food tasted like it was made with love, and brought me back to holidays with my Great Aunt and staying over at my childhood best friend’s house. Both Polish by descent, and would prepare the most delicious meals, filled with love and joy - and delicious ingredients! We will absolutely be back. Save room for dessert! You won’t regret it!

So unassuming from the outside but the menu was outstanding and the food full of flavour. We left with smiles on our faces and very full tummies. The hugerian goulash potato pancake was delicious beautiful chucks of soft beef in a crispy potato rosti with a side of home picked dill vegetables. The choice of homemade desserts was just such a dilemma, pistachio cake, and hazelnut and blueberry cake are both Highly recommend.
