    In general good was very tasty. However, there were some "issues". We got lemonade with sparkling water. And pancakes we burnt. They were replaced for free for us. Service was very kind and professional. This is the first restaurant I ever saw, were waitress has introduced herself at very beginning. Very professional. Interior design is kinda traditional. Place is children friendly.

    U Szwejka is a hot spot and one of the must-visit restaurants in Warsaw! The location is also very central. The menu offers a lot of really tasty options both for meat-lovers and vegetarians alike and they offer also deals of the day. They also serve complementary starters, which I find delightful and an extra touch in terms of customer care. The staff is very polite, easy-going and helpful. I go to this place at least once every time I’m in Warsaw. :)

    Used to be one of the best restuarants in Warsaw, now staff is very rude and abrupt. Food below average, I do not recommend.

    Very good service from the first minute. Food was good, but not excellent. Nice place with a lot of pictures on the wall, but music was to loud playing in the background. We were sitting on the second floor. I will thank the young waiter for ordering Uber for us so we could get to the airport in time. PS! Sauce for the beef was specially good!

    Highly popular place for late dinner food and drinks. Had Velkopopovicky kozel dark and it was super refreshing smooth and light for a dark beer. My favourite beer. Czech beer the best. Business is crowded and service may be a tad slow but all is good. Recommend for nice experience to hang out!

    Great location, amazing selection of food options, attentive stuff, service was a bit slow , 30 minutes from order to delivery and we got wrong side dish, the french fries instead of rice. When rice did come it was overcooked and clumpy, the schnitzel was not very flavoured. Our child meal was comped and manager gave us two free desserts we didn't offer. We appreciate the attention and attempt to make it right. We got fed. Thank you.

    Have a feeling that the restaurant change in the last years. The service is friendly and the food is ok but it’s very noisy.

  • 5/5 Alex P. 7 months ago on Google • 98 reviews
    Wow, it was great! We eat pecene koleno, 96 PLN for 1200g, potato salad, 10 PLN and two Kozel beers 1 litre, each for 16 PLN. Before we get our food, a starter is served. The portions are big, the food tasty, the beer cold and cheap and the waiter nice. They have special offer for each day of the week. Highly recommended!

    Best schnitzel ever and a huge portion! I wish i had a second chance to visit.

  • 5/5 Wiktoria G. 6 months ago on Google • 50 reviews
    The food was really good, well prepared, traditional but tasty. The waitresses and entire service were absolutely amazing! So kind and pleasant people, taking care of the whole evening. Very quality food and affordable prices. Highly recommend!

  • 4/5 Corey M. 4 months ago on Google • 42 reviews
    Traditional foods, fairly simple, adequate service. Worth a go. - Food isn't particularly healthy, but portions are great value IMO 👌 Even offered to do a half/half mix on the dumplings. - Wait staff are friendly enough, except one girl kind of rolled her eyes when I summoned her to ask for the bill 🙈 Sorry you were having such a hard day, love. - Seated outside, on an average day. I wouldn't say it was the best atmosphere, but maybe that's just normal 🤷‍♂️ It was chill and relatively quiet, which I like, so that's a win. - Prices were fine, service was quick enough. Probably best in groups, based on what I saw and portion sizes for cost effectiveness. Not a date spot, more like a.. cheap lunch or family gathering vibe.

    We came here looking for meat! And it didn’t disappoint us, we had a massive plate of meat, I was just amazed with that, attention is good also and is not like they only have couple of plates, they have from soups to burgers and so on, price are completely affordable and this time for 100zł we ate 2 and still we do have left overs for home, I totally recommend this place if you are a meat lover and looking for a good place to eat meat!

  • 5/5 Aleksandr S. 3 months ago on Google • 29 reviews New
    we stayed at the hotel nearby, so we visited the restaurant 4 or 5 times. the kids menu wasn't great, but all the parents were pretty happy with the food. the portions are big! i even ordered from the kids menu on my last day and was pretty full too! the service is great, but it's a bit too dark inside, generally i recommend this place!

  • 4/5 Jonathan S. 11 months ago on Google
    Tried the schnitzel and I was very pleased with it, I missed the gravy (had to order some bbq sauce) and some more lemon but the lemon was easy to fix. 1 litres of beer was perfect to the great schnitzel of Warszawa 😀 The pork knuckle looked very good but the skin wasn't that crispy as I wish and therfore I did choose schnitzel. Didn't feel like I was 100% welcomed since I didn't speak Polish. Overall very satisfied.

  • 5/5 Patryk P. 2 years ago on Google
    Great service and really good food. Probably biggest pork chop I have ever head (although let's face it, super thin inside). But they have lots of food options, lots of specials, some freebies from the kitchen to enhance the meal. It's definitely worth coming back to. Great beer too!!

  • 4/5 Rafal A. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place with decent food. Staff was excellent!! Great cheap Czech Kozel beer. The is the best place to eat and drink! My Single portion was enormous big. The pork and potatoes were fresh and delicious, the pork was a little bit too salty also the rest of the food, that is why I score it 4 of 5. The rest was great. My Flaczki soup were so great tasting, same as Hungarian gulasz and zurek. A great Restaurant. Ahh and most important after receiving the bill you get for free polish nalewka!

  • 5/5 Unboxed T. 2 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Lars S. 7 months ago on Google
    Amazing atmosphere, delicious food and friendly staff. Unfortunately, I had to wait to long for my main dish. I managed to cancel the order without any problem though.

  • 2/5 Thomas D. 9 months ago on Google
    During my visit in this czech restaurant I was not satisfied at all and/or just unlucky. The waitress serving the table was very nice indeed, which was positive, nevertheless every order for drinks took honestly with 20-30 minutes way too long from placing till serving. At one time she forgot the order completely. As a complimentary starter they offered a cheese spread which contained parts of a plastic sheet, which I was not very pleased of whilst realising what I have in my mouth. My proper order was a fried beet root salad and vegetarian pierogies. The salad tasted like boiled beet root without spices, oil or vinegar. The vegetarian dumplings were accompanied by a sauerkraut containing bacon, which was completely mindless as I don’t eat meat at all. As the table were I was sitting at was an outside seating, I was surprised from the quite nicely decorated interior when visiting the restroom. But in the entire restaurant there was a strong and disgusting odor, like something chemical, which made the experience even worse. I don’t think, that they deserve a second chance in the future.

  • 2/5 Rodri R. 3 years ago on Google
    I give 2 stars because the Golonka was very soft and well cooked. The service was nice, but the rest of the food very fatty, with a lot of oil and to much spicy. The sausage only taste like spices

  • 5/5 nuje s. 2 years ago on Google
    i strongly advise you to go to that restaurant. the food is consistently delicious, and the portions are big, so you'll never leave hungry. Ribs and Golonka are two dishes you should definitely try :)

  • 2/5 Kidae P. 6 months ago on Google • 25 reviews
    Golongka was too salty. And although the waiter said it was perfect for 2 people, it was enough for 5 people. The taste has changed a lot compared to 10 years ago. Also, no bread was given before the meal.

  • 5/5 Svitlana P. 2 years ago on Google
    Managed to get there while there was no line. Have been here 4 years ago. Nothing changed. Can grab some decent meals for an affordable price.

  • 4/5 Leiyan K. 2 years ago on Google
    First of all, please carry your vaccination certificate with you because they will ask for it before seating you. The place is good, nice vibes, great music and it can get busy especially on the weekends, so please be patient with your waiter. Nice selection of drinks, dark and light beers, wines and spirits too. Food was great (check out the pictures), mine was the Officer's Grill. Wonderful selection of meats and vegetables. Definitely recommend 👌🏽 👍🏽 👏🏽 And thank you for your wonderful service Aleksandra (my waiter). Will be back soon for the desserts 🍨 🥧 🍦 🍡 🍧 🍩

  • 5/5 Jin L. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food, friendly staff. Recommended! I had the roasted pork knuckle which was more than enough for two people!

  • 4/5 Gabriela J. 1 year ago on Google
    Everything was fine. Food okay, nothing spectacular but eatable. At the beginning we received dirty plate and fork but later on someone came and gave us clean ones. It wasn’t very crowded and service was fast.

  • 3/5 Filip H. 11 months ago on Google
    Nice place if you want to have cheap and good food. Bit of a pub-feeling. Friendly waiters. I took a 1l beer. I asked fir a wheat beer but I got a lager. Did not feel the urge to complain. Wasn’t too bad. For food chose some kind of porc chop from the grill. Came with Tzatziki and a simple tomato salad. Normally it is served with fries but I asked for rice. That was no problem. As an amuse bouche we got two spreads and some bread. Nothing very special, but not bad. My collaegue took a giant Schnitzel that came with fries. Pity they do not serve it with some kind of salad or sauce.

  • 3/5 Mihail X. 1 year ago on Google
    I didn’t really like the organization in the restaurant: - there was a queue in front of the entrance, although when we entered, there were a lot of empty seats, - we waited 20 minutes for the soup and served it without bread. We waited over an hour for the ribs. For taste, I would rate between 3 and 4.

  • 5/5 moniak 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious food and drink! Please be careful as portions are big (really big). Very lovely service, pleasurable atmosphere, food arrived in really good time. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Luca W. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good restaurant with friendly waiters and good prices.

  • 5/5 R0B D. 1 year ago on Google
    A bastion of Czech cuisine in the heart of the city. This place has been around since forever...it seems. Good hearty food and affordable prices. School kids, visitors, locals, you have it all.

  • 5/5 Javier G. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing experience. Top class service. Definetly one of the most special restaurants in Warsaw. Better you go hungry because the size of the dishes are HUGE (and tasty :))).

  • 5/5 Anna Y. 1 year ago on Google
    One of my favorite places in Warsaw to have a delicious meal! I recommend grilled pork rib with mild honey-mustard and BBQ sauce & wine! Also the traditional Polish soup with chicken and vegetables was very nice 👍🏼 I will definitely come back!

  • 5/5 Terence y. 1 year ago on Google
    German food i presume with the dress up, pork knuckle and beer. The portion is definitely great with the price they offer. Even the free starter taste amazing. End the meal with a free drinks of im not sure what is it

  • 5/5 Maia Z. 2 years ago on Google

👍👍 I love pancakes so much, so this place was in the list "must to go". During two days in Warsaw we came here twice. It is true, that you will have to wait in the queue. We have spend about 40 min, but it was worth. Food was perfect, the staff was polite (Hubert thank you!), the interior was nice and...
