| - I'm 1/4 polish, but it was the predominant ethnic influence on my life growing up. I have fond memories of rye bread, borscht, and making pierogis as a family. So when it comes to polish food, I have a pretty good idea of what I'm looking for.
Cafe Polonez meets about 95% of my needs.
The good:
1. their stuffed cabbage is amazing. Tender cabbage, good filling, and a great tomato sauce. Super duper.
2. their beet salad is the most divine thing. so simple yet so awesomely tasty.
3. the white borscht with kielbasa is, I almost hesitate to say, better than babcias. Smooth and lightly tangy, best eaten with buttered rye bread dipped in.
4. amazing portions for the price. it is impossible to leave this place hungry. If you are hungry after, well, you're doing it wrong.
The not as good, but still tasty:
1. their pierogis. I will have to qualify this in that I've only had them once. However, they weren't the best pierogis I've had. These are something my babcia definitely does better. However, I am going to give them another chance to see if maybe I was just asking too much of them the first time I had them.
If you've never had homemade pierogis, you will find these much tastier than the frozen pre-made ones in the store. They are also very plentiful and filling.
Overall, I will eat here whenever I can again convince my husband to eat here. If I had my way, I'd probably eat here at least once a week!
