U Babci Polish Kitchen

I never had Polish food but a coworker if mine who is Polish often spoke of this place and would occasionally eat here all the way from San Diego. I will say that the experience was lovely from the environment being comfortable, friendly staff who enthusiastically recommended what I should order, and even hours after I left, I still feel full. Definitely stop by and try eating here if you're curious about trying good food like Polish food.

I had the pleasure of dining at U Babci Polish Kitchen, and it was fantastic! The prices are great, and the food is fresh and delicious. The warm, friendly atmosphere makes you feel like you’re dining with family and friends. The beautiful décor reflects a strong pride in Polish heritage. I’ve recommended, and will continue to recommend, this restaurant to all my friends and family FYI, the cabbage rolls are to die for! Great work Kacper!!!

We had a great first visit! The restaurant is very well decorated and have great atmosphere. Stuff is very friendly and attentive, ask for specials and stuff not on menu….food is very tasty, really have feeling like from grandma house. We had the pleasure to meet Mrs. Babča, she is an amazing lady and creator of those tasty dishes. Save a space for yummy desert and coffee!

I've tried quite a few Polish restaurants around the country, and this is one of the best. It's rare I find a single restaurant that can do justice to golabki and pierogi, but they nailed it. Just like my grandmother made in her kitchen when I was growing up. The potato pancakes with beef goulash were also delicious.
