Delicja Polska POLISH Cozy, inviting space with excellent Polish food. The
menu leans toward the traditional, but with the addition of something slightly unex-
pected. For a warm starter, try the pierogies stuffed with veal. Two of the best main
course selections include the boar tenderloin with juniper sauce and beet root, and the
veal cutlets marinated in bison grass. The intimate dining room makes it a destination
choice for an evening meal. Easy-to-reach location near Pl. Konstytucji.
Koszykowa 54. & 022/630-88-50. Reservations recommended. Lunch and dinner items 30 zl-60 zl ($10-$20/
£5.50-£11). AE, DC, MC, V. Daily noon-10pm.
Polski Smak POLISH A great place to sample some excellent Polish cooking with-
out having to deal with pretentious settings and wallet-busting prices. For starters go
for the herring in three sauces: curry; sour cream and onion; and tomato. For mains,
they're all recommendable, but the house specialty of roast duck served with cranber-
ries and baked apple is excellent. Try it with a side of fried potato dumplings. The
neighborhood, on a small side street off of Nowy 2 wiat, is a delight. After your meal
take a stroll and a glass of wine at one of the many little bars and cafes in the area.
Galczy^skiego 3. & 022/826-59-67. Lunch and dinner items 27 zl-36 zl ($9-$12/£5-£7). AE, DC, MC, V. Daily
noon-11pm.
Tandoori Palace INDIAN One of the pleasures of a big city like Warsaw is the
chance to branch out culinarily speaking. This popular little place calls itself the “best
Indian food in Poland,” a claim of dubious merit (like boasting the “best burritos in
Saskatchewan”). But no matter, the Indian food here is very good. I usually order the
yellow lentils with nan bread as a starter followed by a spicy lamb curry. It's not exactly
cheap, though beloved by Warsaw's expats.
Marszalkowska 21/25. & 022/825-23-75. Lunch and dinner items 27 zl-36 zl ($9-$12/£5-£7). AE, DC, MC, V. Daily
noon-10pm.
MODERATE
Chlopskie Jadlo POLISH I hesitated dropping this one in, but if you're dying to
try decent Polish food and don't have a lot of cash to spare, this might be your best
option. Ch l opskie Jadlo is a Polish chain, with locations in Kraków and Gda ^ sk. The
idea is the same everywhere: good-to-very-good traditional Polish food served with all
the trimmings in a lively, clean, cottage-style atmosphere. It's a lot of fun, and the cost-
value ratio may be the best in town.
Pl. Konstytucji 1. & 022/339-17-15. Lunch and dinner items 21 zl-30 zl ($7-$10/£4-£5.50). AE, DC, MC, V. Daily
noon-11pm.
Restauracja 2wi7toja^ska POLISH Nice alternative to the high-priced U
Fukiera in the Old Town. The menus are similar, but the prices here are around half
and the quality of the food is comparable. What you'll miss is the unique atmosphere;
this place favors the homey and traditional. A great spot for lunch if you happen to
be in the area.
2wi7toja^ska 2. & 022/635-35-35. Lunch and dinner items 15 zl-30 zl ($5-$10/£2.60-£6). AE, DC, MC, V. Daily
noon-10pm.
