Top notch food! I saw this place in a Julian Mu video as a must try in Greenpoint, and the white borscht was fantastic. Sour, creamy, hearty and satisfying with really good kielbasa and boiled egg chunks inside. Also the bread bowl was a nice touch but I didn’t end up eating much of the bread ball because of how many carbs were in the rest of the meal. Pierogies were fine. I’ve had better, and the grilled kielbasa was also really tasty. In the meal we had mashed potatoes for some reason, the bread bowl, pierogies, sliced bread with butter for the table, and it was overall a great meal for a cold day. It was also super affordable, would definitely come back and get the soup and latkes and perhaps a schnitzel. Service was fine, but maybe a little busy. Restaurant was full of happy people and families probably. Felt like a cowboy saloon from Eastern Europe kinda vibe

First time dining in a polish restaurant and wow, what a great intro! Everything was delicious- my girlfriends and I couldn’t stop eating everything we ordered.

The grilled Polish kielbasa was the best I’ve ever had. Their pickle soup is worth trying as well.

I recently enjoyed an incredible Polish meal featuring a hearty plate for two persons filled with bacon, salmon, blood sausage, and traditional Polish kielbasa, all perfectly cooked and flavorful. The baked potatoes were a comforting side, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Pairing the meal with a refreshing draft beer completed the experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a relaxed evening with my friend. If you’re looking for authentic Polish flavors in a cozy setting, this place is a must-visit! Thank you❤️

Very authentic Polish food. Reasonably priced. Huge portions. Get the meat platter for 3. It will be too much. Take it home. We ordered way too much food and we're glad we did. It was a fun experience. Yummy 😋

My favorite Polish restaurant in NY. Warm atmosphere, friendly staff, and great food and value even after all these years. I couldn't get over how reasonable the prices still are especially considering the generous portions. This could easily qualify as a NY essential. The white borscht in a bread bowl is one of my favorite things to eat in the city.

We visited this Karczma today for lunch and had a great experience. We ordered the sour rye soup (żurek) served in bread, the Polish platter as a main course, and pork cutlets for the children. Everything was very tasty, the portions were generous, and the prices were reasonable. The service was very friendly and welcoming. A perfect place for a satisfying and authentic Polish meal. We would definitely recommend it and would be happy to come back again in the future.

Karczma never lets me down. It’s one of the last true Polish spots left in Greenpoint, and it honestly feels like a little piece of home. Whenever I’m feeling homesick or just need some comfort, this is where I go for food that warms my soul. The meals are always tasty, portions are generous, and there’s always something good on the menu. Love this place!

Classic Polish restaurant featuring traditionally prepared dishes. We got the sampler and the Spicy Goulash. The sampler was perfect for 2 people trying to explore several tastes from the menu. I wouldn't call it spicy, but it was delicious.

Pierogis were amazing. All the meats, potatoes, sauces, and cabbage were incredible. Simple food, but delicious. Lots of food as well. Great atmosphere and service.

First time trying Polish food, and Karczma made a solid impression. I’m still dreaming about the asparagus wrapped in bacon, easily the highlight. The sausages were super flavorful too. The location is super convenient, right by the train, and the cozy, rustic decor totally reminded me of a restaurant I visited in Prague years ago We really loved the vibes, but the service left a lot to be desired. Maybe they’re going for that classic European service style but, this is NYC, and when the check comes with a suggested 20% tip, expectations are a little higher. We felt nervous to ask for water because our server seemed to have her bad day by our interaction, she never filled our glass didn’t check in at all after taking the order that she didn't realize we were missing one dish. The person who seemed to be busser helped pour us water and got our missing dish checked. Not ideal. That said, the food and atmosphere were great, and we’d definitely consider coming back if we’re in the neighborhood.

A nice little place. I’m maybe being a little harsh about the food. I had pork shoulder w cabbage with a side of kielbasa. The sausage and cabbage were respectable. The pork shoulder was pretty gristly and not so flavorful. But the place has a nice vibe and I will return to try other dishes. It’s certainly great value for the money! Whole meal with a drink was under $30. Friendly staff.

Food is super authentic and solid in all aspects. It was a busy night so service was lacking. Waitress only came around twice but the food was good enough to make up for it.

Loved this place. It's one of the few Polish restaurants still remaining in Greenpoint. The place is roomy and has nice decor. It even has a wishing well. They have a. Lunch Special that comes with your choice of soup. I tried White Borscht for the first time and it was very good. I has the Pork Cutlet which comes with Cabbage and Mashed Potatoes. I asked for Sauerkraut instead of Cabbage. The Pork Cutlet was the size of my head. All this was just $16. The service is good and the prices are very reasonable.

First time I threw out leftovers... Ordered the Polish platter and was very disappointed. The bigos just tasted like bbq, the sauce on the gołąbki tasted like spaghetti sauce out of a can. Frankly the bigos was disgusting and it made the rest of the meal less appetizing. The placki ziemniaczane were fine, sausage was fine. I've had frozen pierogi that taste better than the ones they served. Atmosphere was good, but the food was a disaster. I won't be coming here again

Pretty disappointed. I don’t eat Polish food often, but I remembered coming here years ago and thought I’d give it another try since I was in the neighborhood. It started off well—the tripe soup was actually really good. But the Plate of Polish Specialties was a letdown. It came with three pierogis, two potato pancakes, kielbasa, hunter’s stew, and stuffed cabbage. Sounds great, right? But the cabbage was way too salty and not even hot in the middle. Honestly felt like it was leftover from the day before. The stew was even saltier—how do you mess up stew? The kielbasa was tasty but such a tiny portion. The pierogis were fried and just okay. The one highlight? The potato pancakes. Crispy, hot, and really flavorful. Also, they charged me $0.75 for extra sour cream. Come on. Between that and the salty food, I’m not coming back.
