“ Amazingggggggggg!!!! this place was an absolutely incredible. The crepes are wonderful . I had a hard time understanding with some of the things are, but they were so patient and so wonderful to help to describe everything. Thank you so much. ”
“ Great service, friendly staff. Great pierogi, deli, and authentic polish fare.. love stopping by on the way home ”
“ A diamond in the rough. Totally authentic, and totally Polish but they do speak English. The rich and high quality selection is truly impressive for such a small store. Their breads especially the ones brought in from NY are outstanding and cant be found elsewhere in the region - hearty rye, flax seed, pumpernickel- the real thing. The fresh and frozen pierogies are delicious. Likewise the many different kinds of kielbasa and smoked turkey. The place looks closed much of the time but don't be put off. ”
“ I love the frozen pierogis sold here; the vegetarian ones are TERRIFIC! Good selection of Polish, Belorussian, and Ukrainian goods Nice cold deli selection on site ”
“ Only problem was staff was wearing masks not covering nose...and pulled them down to speak. left quickly after purchase. ”
“ Shabbat shalom! This is a very kosher establishment indeed! One of my two go to for my polish shopping experience along with Unicorn in Vernon. This place has a good selection of product. Sometimes very rarely some items could be expired so I always check just to be sure. The biggest problem with this joint is it is in the ghetto , with a difficult parking situation and a run down parking lot and building. These guys could invest a bit in the place, makes for a poor reflection on polish people being some rats or something. They also have prepared food but it is not covered properly or anything so this is definitely a health and safety issue - the state should investigate this and you should be careful. All in all, I give a 5 out of 5 star of David's for this place. ”
“ Best kielbasa I've ever had. Very helpful and friendly staff. Many unique ingredients and items. Great meat counter selection. ”
“ It is a pretty good deli. The selection of meats and cheeses (and kielbasa) is pretty large. Also, they have a lot of eastern european goods, but only some of them would be familiar to russian customers. I've got there some edam cheese, some sliced meats, a thing of kielbasa, a can of pate, and a pack of multi grain bread. Total was 28 bucks. The place is a bit old and cheap looking but neat and well organized. The staff speaks both Polish and English. They even speak a bit Russian. They take credit cards if the total is 10$ and up. The kielbasa tasted so good we ate it all in a car on our way back. Bread was a bit to flaky and dry to my taste but my husband loved it. The cheese is just freaking amazing, I highly recommend it. The meat tastes decent. Surprisingly, I didn't really see a lot of buckwheat choices, no lithuanian bread. But I don't know if it's really popular among polish people. ”
“ AWESOME Eastern European Deli.....specializing in Polish Items (and more, but I am most familiar with their top notch fresh Polish foods). Examples: This is where we get the very special Kielbasa that is used for Easter breakfast. It is phenomenal, and not like the typical Kielbasa you would get at a grocery store (read: greasy/fatty) This is lean and flavorful. The very Best. My in laws have been getting items from this place for decades. They also have wonderful fresh Pirogies. Need I say more? If u love this kind of food, or if you just want to experience some good Eastern European delicacies, run, don't walk, to this wonderful little place! ps....These people also run a little Polish restaurant right next door, the name escapes me but I'm trying to find it on yelp to be able to lead you there.....A great way to try some of the foods I mentioned if you have no experience preparing or cooking them! Enjoy! Oh, and yes, I was going to type some polish here, but since you probably wouldn't be able to read it (and I have a hard time spelling it) I opted for the simpler English! LOL :o) ”
