| - My Polish- German family wanted to try something authentic and had heard about Babushka's so we made a reservation for 14 on a Saturday evening. It was difficult finding the restaurant, poor signage. Our table was ready when we arrived to the restaurant, which was lacking atmosphere. It was crowded, cafeteria style with no decorations, warmth, color or ambiance. Our server was not a regular waitress there, she said she was just helping out, but she was wonderful. So polite, friendly and efficient. She answered all of our questions patiently and helped us pick great meals.
I opted for the Hunter's Feast platter which included a little bit of everything. It was a very large portion at what I thought was a reasonable price. Stuffed cabbage, sauerkraut, kielbasa, pierogi, cole slaw. Everything was hot and cooked fully (which I am always leery of stuffed cabbage- often undercooked).
The taste of everything was mediocre. Nothing I sampled was bad, but nothing wowed me either. I was disappointed and kept it to myself, but my family started to share their feelings and we all thought the same. The cabbage and noodles, chicken paprikash... everything was a little bland and boring. Plus, they were out of kolachki's!
I feel bad leaving a poor review, because maybe some people like the unseasoned flavor. (Pepper fixes everything, right?) Like I said, nothing was bad, I ate everything. But I did take most of it home to doctor it up myself.
