Was Ewelina Hohenfels at Polonica a mag?
The food is PERFECT every time we come, we drive from Staten Island for some home style Polish food. My favorite is the Hungarian pancakes, beef stew between two potato pancakes, and the variety of salads before your food comes it also my favorite, DELICIOUS View all feedback.

What Kristina V dislikes about Polonica:
I’m giving an extra star for the host's politeness, but the pierogi mix I ordered to go only contained potato and some unfamiliar substance. They had no flavor at all. View all feedback.

I am so terribly upset. Live in Bay Ridge my whole life. Have passed this restaurant 1,000's of times and heard millions of great things about the place. I finally got here for the first time a just a few weeks ago and is was so good. Last night had the goulash Placek po wegiersku. Hungarian pancakes. Too large potato pancakes with a combination of beef goulash, tomatoes, and hot peppers in the center. OMG, my eyes rolled back in my head like a shark's.. the flavor was amazing rich and spicy. And the beef was tender. Sandwiched between two of the most crispy potato pancakes I have ever had. The owner said that they are planning on coming back I hope sooner than later!! I just discovered this hidden gem and now it's going away. Good luck to them and hope to see them back in the neighborhood very soon!!!!!

This charming little restaurant offers a distinctive experience with incredible food. The service is impressively quick. The barley soup was hearty and satisfying, while the fried pierogis provided a delightful, crispy crunch in every bite.
