substantial Polish food..
finally got to Little Poland after wanting to try it for awhile, and having a Eastern European food craving. My friend and I both got the sampler plate which was HUGE, and delicious. 4 piergios of choice (the sweet cheese is awesome), bigos (saukerraut stew), big stuffed cabbage and kielbasa. I could only eat about 1/2 of it, and wrapped up the rest to go, along with a piece of homemade apple cake for later (which was a size of a brick and very tasty). definately would go back and a great filling meal (or two with the leftover) for $20. it's a small homey diner..nothing fancy, and basic looking, old school bordering on grungy..it's all about the food. the service is definately lacking, although waitress was nice when we could get her attention. so, as long as you are a little patient when it's busy, you will be fine.

Am I being too picky? Disappointing.
My hubby and I were in Manhattan on Saturday, and he wanted Polish food. Rather than make the hike into Brooklyn I thought we could finally try Little Poland. I read the reviews, wasn't expecting too much service-wise, but we've never had a bad meal of Polish food thus far and we eat it in Brooklyn all the time. The experience was way worse than I thought it could be. From the beginning it sucked. The waitress took 15 minutes to come to our table (we were STARVING, making it all worse) after we sat down. I had to go up to the counter to get waters, ten minutes later, as she never bothered to bring them. Hubby ordered the lamb & potato soup which was great. I ordered the hungarian pancake, which is my standard order. It came with canned green beans and carrots and weird gray corn. GROSS. I've never been to a polish restaurant that didn't automatically give you a side of beets, sauerkraut, etc., not those gross veggies. The potato pancake was very good, the filling was nothing that special, mine was almost entirely mushrooms instead of beef. When we asked about dessert the waitress dropped off a menu and never came back. Finally another 15 min later I just stood up and started putting on my coat and she got the hint. The whole experience took over an hour and a half, which is ridiculous for a diner. AND it's substantially more expensive than the restaurants in Brooklyn, which I feel has more authentic and better tasting food overall. Lastly they don't have high chairs or booster seats for kids, so we had to juggle our 1 yr old the whole time. I was really annoyed by the time I left and feel like we just wasted our money even tho parts of the meal were very tasty. Overall the experience was not good.

Great food day-round
This diner features all the best of traditional diner food cobined with wonderfully original and palatable Polish cuisine. I have been there for both breakfast (enjoying very traditional diner-esque varieties that come in generous portions and delightful taste) and dinner (eating Polish specialties that introduce a symphony of exciting flavors) and all in a very cheap price, even by diner standards. All in all, highly recommended for both those on the lookout for a simple diner and those biding for a savory experience of interesting cuisine.

Go For Tripe!
What a pleasant surprise when the tripe soup came to the table overflowing with tripe! It was delicious and a meal on itself. The side order of onion rings was tasty (like a potato flavored coating) and not soggy like in other places. We'll be back.

Great Food!!
The BEST potato lamb soup I have ever had!! And I don't eat red meat often. The perogies were delicious and the cucumber salad reminded me of my grandmothers.

Neat place
Our friends took us here. It was an interesting experience. We had the fruity juice to drink and we got the bread pudding for desert. It was all very good. My only recommendation would be that they should play policy music and they should refill water more.
