Polonia

Polonia is a Polish restaurant located in the lower east side of Manhattan. I was a bit disappointed with the restaurant. Things were a bit more bland than they should have been. It is certainly not among the best Polish food I've had.

Dress

Very casual

Cost

Quite cheap - a full meal can be had for just over $10.

Reservations

Not necessary. We arrived around 6pm on a weekend, and the restaurant was mostly empty.

The pierogis and potato pancakes were pretty similar. I felt this combo dish was lacking vegetables. The potato pancakes were pretty good - it's hard to go wrong with deep fried potatoes. There were a number of filling choices available for the blintz - I choose cheese and jam, and ate it for dessert. It was pretty good.

I think the most disappointing thing about this combination platter was the kielbasa. It was just like a typical sausage. It didn't have any of the usual deliciousness that a hot kielbasa usually has.

Otherwise, everything was OK. The pierogis were ordered deep fried, and were adequate. The cabbage roll was a bit bland.
