Polonica Restaurant

This was magical gem in Bay Ridge for polish food. We ordered the fruit compote drink, cucumber soup, pierogi, and nalesniki (rolled crepe) and it was delicious! The cucumber soup should be renamed Sour Delightful Soup because it was absolutely to-die for. It has sliced pickles, celery, carrots and potatoes. It was incredibly rich and creamy and wonderfully sour. A must have for fans of sour foods.

Fantastic soups and pierogis. If you ever wondered if it was possible to make a delicious meal with only potatoes and cabbage as the main ingredients, wonder no more! Honestly you could just order like 3 soups and nothing else and leave remarkably satisfied (and you can't go wrong with any of the 10+ types they offer). And somehow the service is great too even though it often seems like only 2 people work there lol. And surprisingly vegetarian friendly for a Polish place. Excellence all around, and thinking about how long these guys have been here - seems like decades, is it even possible? - they are true survivors and thrivers. Much respect.

Great atmosphere! Saturday night and they were really busy in the kitchen. I had the barley soup, a tyslkie beer , spinach potato pierogi, and the chicken meatballs. Everything was outstanding!!!!! Our waiter was really polite and attentive. No wonder why they're open for over 31 years . I will definitely return.
