| - I was craving some home-cooked German/Polish food, the types of lovingly prepared savory delectables I used to eat as a kid. All Pierogi didn't disappoint. Generous portions of homemade pierogis are the specialty here with a myriad of different fillings, served either pan fried (my fav) or boiled. We tried the sauerkraut + potato, mushroom + potato, and farmer cheese + potato, all of which were very good. I ordered the beef stuffed cabbage roll, but they were out, so I took a chance on the pork stuffed cabbage roll. This nicely seasoned ground pork and rice roll was large, enrobed by tender cabbage, and paired with savory tomato sauce. Excellent! I was quite full after eating the combo plate, but found the food so flavorful that regretted not ordering a bigger plate. Some solace came with the purchase of a dozen pierogis from the adjacent market, which sells frozen take-away packages for $10/dozen. We ended the meal with dessert, cookies "Nuts", a caramel butter filled shortbread cookie, and split the 6 two-bite cookies between the two of us, for the perfectly sized finale. Prices were on the high side, but I was happy to pay it once I tasted the freshness and quality of food (worth it). I agree with other reviewers, the upcharge for trying different flavors is a little over the top, but going with one or a few others, each ordering your own and sharing curbs the uncharges.
