Most Disliked
Some diners mention that the seating can feel limited during peak hours. It’s a cozy space, but on busy days, it can leave little room for comfortable dining, especially when the restaurant is at capacity. The visibility of the location is another point of concern; it can be challenging to spot from the street for first-time visitors.
A few customers have expressed a desire for slightly more variety on the menu, particularly in certain categories. While the existing offerings are well-received, there are whispers suggesting that more unique options could further enhance the dining experience. Despite these critiques, the overall experience remains positive, with many returning for more of the delicious Polish cuisine.

Tasty Polish Food is a small and simple place where you can try some Polish street food: zapiekanka, knysza, Hamburg, and even more traditional food: pierogi, żórek, and many more. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to try Polish cuisine. The place is small and cozy so not always have a chance to eat inside but for carryout, no problem, make your pick and enjoy. See you next time.

I was surprised at the selections on the menu and hesitant to try as the options were not quite what I expected to be Polish food. But once I took a bite of each of the two items i ordered I loved it all. Very tasty and filling with rich and quality ingredients.

Super friendly and clean the food was great and even if you don't speak polish there are photos everywhere to help you order... I'd recommend the kebab if you're very hungry or if you're looking for something a bit lighter than the Zapiekanka is the way to go... And please don't forget to tip!

I needed something since I was hungry and it was close by where I live. I got the polish sausage and French fries. Man the polish sausage so good and the fries as well. I thought the food was going to be moderate but I was wrong. I recommend this if need something to eat and it’s very polish lol

A small, cozy Polish restaurant. They serve delicious Polish food, almost like at home. A nice, warm lady who serves customers and offers advice and help like a mother. I really recommend these restaurants even though they are hard to see from the street.

A small but very good restaurant. Every time my parents visit, we come here. Their "zapiekanki" are to die for! Highly recommend!!!

What a great find for fast Polish food in Portage Park! I am a big fan of zapiekankas and find the ones created here to be one of the best that I’ve ever had. Try one if you’ve never had the pleasure as you won’t regret anything coming out of this kitchen.
