![5]( "Recensione")
The food is excellent, the portions are generous (for Cambridge prices),
the selection of vodkas is unparalleled and the hosts are very
friendly. I was dining with a Polish friend (who incidentally is
addicted to Polonia and can't stay away) which may have made them
friendlier than usual but I get the impression they're just friendly
people.
It sounds like bluejade picked the wrong dishes for her meal. I've been to Poland several times, and the pierogi in this place (savoury, for a starter or main course, not the dessert stuff, which I haven't tried) beats stuff that's been handmade by babcias. The main courses we tried we shared three, one of which was goulash with potato pancakes, the others I can't remember the name of were all delicious, in a home-cooked style. We were contentedly full after that, hence no dessert.
If you have signed on for traditional Polish food (or Slovenian, Austrian, Hungarian) you should know what to expect: hearty, rich and filling, but not haute cuisine. That said, pierogi is the king of dumplings and I could eat it all day it's like ravioli, and takes a real labour of love to get right. These guys do that.
Polonia is the real deal, it's as authentic as they come. As long as you like tasty, hearty, home-cooked food, you won't be disappointed!
Great find in a seemingly unlikely location. We had the mushroom and cabbage pierogi, beet and cream soup, pork and sauerkraut with bulgar wheat and a salad mix. All were well-prepared and very reasonably priced (about £25 total). I'd especially recommend the beet soup. They were also very accommodating of our young child and we saw another family there with a toddler. The only miss of the evening was the almond cake, which was a little dry and bland for my taste. Highly recommend!
Really great, friendly staff, good prices, nice filling food, and a great selection of vodka and cocktails.
