“Very tasty, homestyle and healthy.”

Very tasty, homestyle and healthy. The kielbasa was fantastic and prepared so well with a good snap and creamy sauce. The veggies and coleslaw cut through the fat making it a really good meal. I got this meal through TooGoodToGo and would absolutely come back.

“Such a cool and unique experience that you cannot get elsewhere.”

Such a cool and unique experience that you cannot get elsewhere. The menu is so creatively thought out and we were really impressed by the flavor of every single dish. Definitely coming back and the goal would be to try every single thing on the menu. The service was also top notch. We’ve visited a ton of Chicago restaurants and POLOMBIA definitely stands out!

“A hidden gem in Ogilvie Station.”

A hidden gem in Ogilvie Station! Was just planning on browsing the menu, curious to see what a Polish Colombian fusion offered. I’m mostly Paleo and completely gluten free, grain and dairy free so I wasn’t expecting to find anything. The owner Phil assured me he could put together a custom platter without cross contamination, so I went for it and I’m so glad it did! Coffee braised ribs, kielbasa, pulled chicken, and a vinegar based slaw was enough to feed two hungry travelers. The chicken was absolutely delicious, as was the slaw. The short ribs were different, the coffee braise gave a unique flavor but were cooked to perfection and on the lean side considering they were ribs. Phil said he couldn’t verify the sausage was completely GF (I appreciated his honesty) but I tried it anyway, delicious! (And no allergic reaction.) From other pictures, it looks like they do a lot of cooking from scratch, so if you are celiac make sure they have not recently used flour to make their pierogis and ask for Phil if you want to be super safe. Thanks for taking great care of my hunger and my health, Phil! I’ll be back the next time I’m in Chicago!

My boyfriend and I have been wanting to come to Polombia for a while, given that we are also Polish/ Colombian and we absolutely loved it! The food, service and creativity of the dishes are truly exceptional. We look forward to coming back on our next visit to Chicago! Thank you - Ania y Sebastián

“Polombia does an amazing job at combining flavors of both Colombia and Poland.”

Polombia does an amazing job at combining flavors of both Colombia and Poland! The flavors are out of this world, from the main dish to the side sauces, they are a perfect blend of sweet and savory. My personal favorite was la zapiekanka! It was the best polish pizza sub I have ever had! The owners, Phil and Cynthia, do an outstanding job running their restaurant and I will definitely be back again for more Arepa-ski! Thank you for the delicious food! 10/10!

“I can't tell you for sure that the food here tastes like Colombian or like Polish but I surely will...”

I can't tell you for sure that the food here tastes like Colombian or like Polish but I surely will say that it tastes delicious. I had the Arepa with beet sand carrot salad, a delicious green salsa, and beef meat. It was a very balanced flavor and a fair portion as well. The other meal options included sausages, and baked potatoes that looked very good and will make me come back again in the near future. The people working here were super nice and helpful. 10/10.

“Glad I tried the Arepa-Ski with the short rib - delicious.”

Glad I tried the Arepa-Ski with the short rib - delicious! Apple flavored soda accompanies the flavors well and isn’t overly sweet. A fun place to eat inside the Urban Space food hall.
