"Wow! What an awesome restaurant. We had a Melbourne Food and Wine Festival event here and we were all blown away! The food was soooo good. Really creative yet traditional. Drinks selection was also excellent. Staff were fantastic, such cheerful people and really great at their jobs. I will 100% be back soon"

"Delicious comfort food start to finish. The potato and sauerkraut fries were so good we ordered a 2nd serve, the Kielbasa pierogi were moreish and the house made smoked cheese with cranberry sauce was incredible, salty rich and smokey, and a shout out to Magda our waitress for suggesting this dish when I asked if there was anything we hadn't ordered that was a must try.
We had no business ordering desert because we were full but I'm glad we did, neither were overly sweet and both were super tasty. Loved the polish smoked wheat beer and the sour cherry sour.
The service was fast and friendly. 10 out of 10 would recommend !"

"Absolutely Incredible. I was extremely excited to travel to Melbourne to try this place as I had heard great things. As a Ukranian growing up with the food and culture, I've always missed those traditional meals my grandmother used to cook for me. As soon as I walked in it's like I stepped into a time warp and back into her kitchen. From the atmosphere, the absolutely lovely staff, and the food.... my God the food its absolutely indescribably Incredible. I ordered many dishes all from my childhood and was not disappointed, from the pierogi to the baked cheesecake, polish mountain cheese, beetroot salad, herrings, and the potato sauerkraut fries, each dish took me back and was Incredible. The entire experience made me WISH I lived I melbourne so I could visit more. I seriously cannot recommend this place more whether you want a chill family dinner, or a night out with drinks, eat pierogi make love delivers. Thank you again to the incredible staff and I look forward to visiting again soon!"
