| - It's so nice to see so many great reviews for a well-deserving establishment. Here's my five stars to help fortify the rating:
My parents were in town a few weeks ago and I was eager for them to try Kovalsky. We've had (and loved) other Polish cuisine in the city but since moving to the west end, Kovalsky was the natural choice for us, not to mention the high regard for it here on Yelp.
Since my parents can't get around very well any longer, we opted for takeout. I called and spoke to a gentleman, presumably Kris, who suggested that my order might take at least an hour to prepare, for what I assumed was because of how busy they must be. We agreed that I would call back in an hour's time to see where the order stood. Calling back, he said the order would be ready in about another 15 minutes. So I began my trip over.
Upon arriving, I had absolutely nowhere to park. It was a busy Sunday, as I recall, and traffic was horrendous. I ended up about 3 blocks away on a residential street. It's a good thing I left early! When I entered the establishment it turned out Kovalsky was host to a private, what seemed to be, wedding party! (Lot's of kids, music and even dancing)! No wonder they said my order might be a while longer than usual! Completely understandable circumstances for a long order time.
My packages came out quickly after I arrived and I headed home. We loved each and every part of the meal. The potato pancake was like a cloud, bursting with a rain of goulash heaven. The pancake actually had a bold potato flavour and the goulash was not at all too salty. The bigos, perogies and Polish sausage were all also top-notch. My parents are very discerning, particularly with food. They're very old-fashioned and would never enjoy any food gimmicks. There are no gimmicks with Kovalsky. Pure, unadulterated Polish goodness.
Thanks team Kovalsky, you'll hear from us again. Never change.
