I love it this food is so delicious. Always fast and nice servis. My favourite is zapiekanka and żurek. Price ok, atmosphere verry good. Some vegetarian options and a lots of good food for kids.

I'm so happy I stumbled upon this place! I'll be coming here very often and trying everything on the menu. The polish sausage was so satisfying! The perfect kilbasa served in a hunk of fresh bread and topped with the best combination of grilled onions, horseradish mustard and tangy ketchup. The knysza (stuffed bread) was also delicious. Reminded me a lot of a Berlin-style döner kebab and super filling. So good!

Tasty Polish Food is a small and simple place where you can try some Polish street food: zapiekanka, knysza, Hamburg, and even more traditional food: pierogi, żórek, and many more. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to try Polish cuisine. The place is small and cozy so not always have a chance to eat inside but for carryout, no problem, make your pick and enjoy. See you next time.

I was surprised at the selections on the menu and hesitant to try as the options were not quite what I expected to be Polish food. But once I took a bite of each of the two items i ordered I loved it all. Very tasty and filling with rich and quality ingredients.

A small but very good restaurant. Every time my parents visit, we come here. Their "zapiekanki" are to die for! Highly recommend!!!

A small, cozy Polish restaurant. They serve delicious Polish food, almost like at home. A nice, warm lady who serves customers and offers advice and help like a mother. I really recommend these restaurants even though they are hard to see from the street.

Lovely Polish eatery. I was stoked they had Zapiekanka and Zurek. I will have to go back and try their Peirogis. Very small, but great atmosphere (almost all Poles) and fast and friendly staff.
