I mean where else would you get Polish food ?

Serious Eats

Of all the Polish restaurants in Greenpoint, Karczma may have the whackiest design, treading close to theme restaurant territory. But its huge menu of comfort food is consistently well-executed.

Gothamist

Their traditional Polish dumplings are among the best in the city . You can choose between steamed and fried pierogi & they come with a variety of stuffings like cheese and potato , mushroom and meat. Read more

Beril Esen

While the plate of polish specialties is perfect for those interested in the Polish traditional taste , their grilled salmon with dill sauce was the best salmon I had in a while. Their zurek is a must!

Graylyn Roose

Delicious and authentic Polish food . We got the platter for two, which included cabbage , potatoes , bacon , beef , chicken , salmon and two kinds of sausages . It was an immense amount of food!

Natalie Freilich

The soups here are authentic . The chicken soup comes prepared just how I would get it in Warsaw - rectangular noodles , dotted with carrots & parsley . They nail the zurek, spot on.

Stina P.

the best polish food in the area and a must if you're in greenpoint - large portions , always busy, super affordable , and they deliver . get the pierogis and polish specialties plate to try a lot!

Eva Drago

Authentic Polish food , great service. Arrive early, usually a wait, grab a drink at the Brooklyn Bazaar. Come hungry. Plate of Polish specialties , hunter stew , latkes , apple pie . Good beer selection .

Fodor's Travel

Order the pierogis fried, not boiled, and one of the Polish, Czech, or German beers served in giant glasses. This restaurant is a great value for the price, so come hungry and prepare to feast. Read more

Katya Pugacheva

Huge portions for very reasonable prices. Don't be scared by lard, go for it! All the rest is also very tasty, yet heavy, so beware. Beer goes perfectly with most of the food there.

Village Voice

An excellent grilled fresh ham that was first marinated in white wine , and an appetizer of asparagus wrapped with the kind of great Polish ham they still smoke in Greenpoint. Read more

Alexandra Fanning

So much food. So much. Pickle soup is surprisingly nice, keibasa sausage is huge and so good, goulash is huge and super filling

Giovanni D'Palma

Its hard not to say everything, but the potato and cheese pierogi and goulash were mind blowing. The meal for two was exquisite as well !

FreshNYC p}-:{>

expect to find country favorites like Borscht , Bigos ("Hunter Stew "), Pierogies , Potato Placki and Kashanka (Buckwheat Blood Sausage ), all served in very generous country-styled proportions Read more

Léonard G

The rustic touch and feel is why you're here and it pervades every dish.Seat yourself, alone or with you friend(s), on a stool at the bar ! Allow the beautiful Polish waitresses to charm and spoil you.

Untapped Cities

Whether you order kielbasa , karkowa (grilled pork shoulder ), or a plate of Polish specialties , Karczma consistently delivers large portions at a great price. Read more

Great low cost polish restaurante, high amount of really nice food. Grill is great with different types of meat. Ambience is also great with people dressed with traditional outfits.

Chloe

The white borscht in sourdough bread bowl is the best soup you'll ever have. It's also an app, a main course, a dessert and a breakfast all in one. You don't need anything else.

Beth H.

Ermahgerd, so much food. But so delicious! Try to Polish Specialties plate combo'd w/the fried cheese app & Polish Mojito (like cold apple cider w/mint!) & prepare for the best food coma of your life.

Chris Costello

I didn't know how much I love and miss kielbasa until I went here. Great staff , great food, definitely coming back.

Mansi Shah

Pierogies are delicious, I got them fried at the bartender 's suggestions and it was great. Cheese and potato is a bit bland. The mushroom ones were my favorite. The veggie sandwich was terrible.

Chris

One of the best Polish restaurants ! The Polish sampler plate is wonderful. Make sure you get the cucumber salad side as well .

Chrissy K

You know this place is legit because almost all the diners were polish. Photo is of the appetizer called Peasant Style Lard

Alexandra Fanning

So much food. So much. Pickle soup is surprisingly nice, keibasa sausage is huge and so good, goulash is huge and super filling

Village Voice

Start your meal with "peasant lard," a pool of semi-liquid fat dotted with bacon -- it goes better on the rye bread than butter, and it's healthier, too. Read more

J L

Amazing Polish food . Standouts here: Hunter's Stew , pickle soup . Get the assorted plate for a well-balanced (and super filling) meal.

Jerry

The waitress was very sweet and helpful and food great! One very disturbing sight was when the owner grabbed a young waiter by the neck and dragged him to the back acting like a jerk!

Ya Fen Wong

I can actually say I love polish food now ???????????? great spot, service, and portions

Francisco Arteaga

Try all the Polish food ! Soups , dumplings , sausages ... All legit. Oh and have a drink with proper Polish vodka .

Sabrina Majeed

Plate of Polish specialties is a good deal to share between two people, but the white borscht is amazing! I've never had anything like it before.

Kate Wagner

Literally everything. Mulled wine in the winter. Polish platter, asparagus wrapped in ham , borscht . Just get it all.

Philipp Nass

Great place. Try the lard! The steak was a bit dull. I‘ll try the Gulasch next time!

Amy Sagar

Get a bunch of plates to share! My favorites were the sauerkraut pierogis , blood sausage , cabbage , and peasant lard spread.

Edna Lee

The plate of polish specialties is very Good. And the beer , OMG the beer . 4dls the small one!!! They have lunch specials for 8.50 Mon - Fri.

Tilman Benecke

Amazing european food, amazing traditional location. Great bewr from the tap with reasonable prices.

Dimka

Zhurek (White borscht in bread as they call it here) and everything else! :)

Chet Mancini

Inexpensive and super filling polish food and beer . Definitely come here for a night out in Greenpoint.

Kate Berkenbush

The white borscht is amazing and come with a side of mashed potatoes with bacon . A perfect winter meal.

Kai Hsing

Hunter's stew lived up to its name and the rest of the menu more than held its own. The faux-peasant tavern decor is also something else.

Johan Sanmartin

Great service and portions are more than enough. Be prepare to eat a lot or bring more than one person with you

Luke

Though not the most specialized item on the, the smoked meat platter is a huge amount of food. Counterattack with huge beers

Ray Lin

Get the grilled plate to share (options for parties of 2 or 3) for a meaty, filling meal for <$12 each. When in (Brooklyn) Poland!

Eileen

Portions are huge so order to share. Plate of polish specialities is good to get a mix of everything

Elysia Mann

Kitschy but delishy (lol!!!!!) Hunters stew or whatever it's called was the best thing on the polish plate so just get that and perogi .

Maple Shipp

This place is definitely worth a go if you're looking for authentic Polish and a semi-chill atmosphere. ????????

Curtis Shoung

White borscht soup good. Side potato plus bacon good.

Ms Helene

Sauerkraut pierogies served with sweet onion relish , breaded stuffed mushrooms as apps are all you need

Amber Nagle

Great place to come for authentic polish food . Delicious to pair with a nice glass of red.

Oliver Bouchard

This place is a treat! It's always packed, so have yourself put on the list and then have a drink while you wait down the street at Pencil Factory .

Rami Haykal-Manning

Best polish food in NYC. Get the herring , lard, blood sausage and polish platter
