I was starving. You know what hits the spot when you hungry? ...Homestyle Ukrainian /Polish food.
I was in the Bloor West hood and someone recommended I check out Amber.
Firstly, the service was great. Incredibly friendly, warm, and all smiles!
It's a casual spot with great food. I found the prices slightly higher than other Polish restaurants I've been to, probably because it's Bloor West.
I had the potato pancakes with goulash ($15.95)
Mmmm smothered in gravy stew, tender chunks of beef sandwiched between chewy but crispy potato pancakes.
I ordered a cabbage roll (on it's own ($9, not the dinner)
They were like "That's too much food!"
I totally could have eaten it as well.
But I decided to not look like a pig and packed the rest.
The cabbage roll was large and topped with tomato sauce with a dab of sour cream. It was fall apart soft, beef and rice.
I can't wait to come back and try the pierogies!
