This place is absolutely terrible. Like Amy N.'s review said, Yelp's system of hiding reviews has eliminated the truth about this place. The server was basically someone that takes your order. The atmosphere is lame. The food is total rubbish. I'm sure this review will be hidden also but I had to at least try to warn people about how bad this restaurant is. I had stopped going to Izba a few years ago after a few bad meals but we were craving schnitzel, in a rush and close by, so we headed to Izba - what a mistake! It was bad before... now it is totally inedible.
The pierogies are bland and have a terrible texture, far worse than any mass produced frozen grocery store pierogie. The braised cabbage was also extremely bland and had an awful gloopy texture. The "oven" roasted potatoes were boiled potatoes that were tossed in the deep fryer for a couple minutes. The carrots and beans were clearly frozen earlier in the day then left to swelter under a lamp. The schnitzel was almost edible, definitely too thin and much smaller than all other schnitzels in the area, but what killed it was that one edge of it had a funk that forced me to spit it out. The meat funk combined with the garnish of raw garlic they use on the schnitzel is lingering hours later. As I sit here writing this I'm trying to figure out how to get the taste out of my mouth. I tried drinking grapefruit juice but it didn't work. I'm going to try sucking on lemons. If lemon doesn't work then like Amy N. suggested I'll have to track down a skunk and lick its ass. Avoid this place at all cost!
