Karczma Polish Restaurant

“Top notch food! I saw this place in a Julian Mu video as a must try in Greenpoint, and the white borscht was fantastic. Sour, creamy, hearty and satisfying with really good kielbasa and boiled egg chunks inside. Also the bread bowl was a nice touch but I didn’t end up eating much of the bread ball because of how many carbs were in the rest of the meal. Pierogies were fine. I’ve had better, and the grilled kielbasa was also really tasty. In the meal we had mashed potatoes for some reason, the bread bowl, pierogies, sliced bread with butter for the table, and it was overall a great meal for a cold day. It was also super affordable, would definitely come back and get the soup and latkes and perhaps a schnitzel. Service was fine, but maybe a little busy. Restaurant was full of happy people and families probably. Felt like a cowboy saloon from Eastern Europe kinda vibe”

“My favorite Polish restaurant in NY. Warm atmosphere, friendly staff, and great food and value even after all these years. I couldn't get over how reasonable the prices still are especially considering the generous portions. This could easily qualify as a NY essential. The white borscht in a bread bowl is one of my favorite things to eat in the city.”

“We visited this Karczma today for lunch and had a great experience. We ordered the sour rye soup (żurek) served in bread, the Polish platter as a main course, and pork cutlets for the children. Everything was very tasty, the portions were generous, and the prices were reasonable. The service was very friendly and welcoming. A perfect place for a satisfying and authentic Polish meal. We would definitely recommend it and would be happy to come back again in the future.”

“I’m Polish so I know what means good quality Polish food ! And this is what you would find in Karczma ! I’m really impressed! Sour rye soup aka Zurek in a bread is to die for! We came back next day for more food . Highly recommend for everyone! Do zobaczenia next time !”

“A nice little place. I’m maybe being a little harsh about the food. I had pork shoulder w cabbage with a side of kielbasa. The sausage and cabbage were respectable. The pork shoulder was pretty gristly and not so flavorful. But the place has a nice vibe and I will return to try other dishes. It’s certainly great value for the money! Whole meal with a drink was under $30. Friendly staff.”
