    When you crave Polish food with cocktails this is the place we go to. Authentic homemade Polishes favorites. Bright and nice. Service is very good and the food is delicious and reasonable in cost. Daily specials and bar offers happy hour. Free parking. Update, restaurant has been painted the walls with an updated color. Drapes have been replaced and lighter color. Service and food consistent

    By far the MOST flavorful food I have ever eaten. The service was perfect. Berry salmon was so good that I am still thinking about it. Desserts are all extraordinary. BRAVO Royal Warsaw!

    What a great place! As a guy that travels around enjoying great foods and blogging about my experiences, this restaurant does not disappoint! We started with a couple of Sauvignon blancs, followed by the pierogi sampler, and then progressed to the potato pancakes. One with goulash, the other, chicken with mushroom gravy and cheese on top. We also enjoyed a scrumptious steak with grilled vegetables. Ordinarily I would insist on apple sauce with my potato pancakes, but these were so delicious, it wasn't necessary For desserts, the flourless chocolate cake with ice cream and the crepes with cream cheese and some healthy cappuccinos... Not the wimpy small ones like most places, but three large mug cappuccinos that were quite delicious. Between the ambience, cuisine and service, we'll definitely be back!

    What happened to this place? Smaller portions, higher prices and very rude waitress who was also working the bar. First she forgot to bring out the soups and bread. My wife asked for a coffee refill which she never got. Never at my table when needed. Served my wife and I cold food. She dropped the food on our table and quickly disappered. I finally asked the manager to help and she did nothing but defend her waitress who she said was busy at the bar. Meanwhile many other waitresses are constantly helping their tables by frequently asking if they need anything. My bar waitress went AWOL. She then came back to our table and told us she spoke to her manager then she (Angelica)started to call us liars. So I requested another waitress (Elizabeth)who was excellent. The manager was extremely unprofessional. I once loved this place. Guys all I can say is there are many other options. I travel an hour each way to eat there and noticed there are many Polish food options in that area. Needless to say it's time to try the others.

    We didnt have a reservation on a Saturday night but they were able to accommodate us very quickly. We started with the potato-cheese pierogi it had excellent flavor, they topped it with sautéed sweet onion-- I would have preferred a cooking onion but still very good. The cabbage rolls had excellent flavor but were only warm. The kielbasa was very good and was hot when it got to the table. The garlic bread was tasty but an odd addition to the plate. Service was not overly friendly but they were mostly attentive. Will definitely be back.

    Great Polish restaurant with an pleasant atmosphere. Interior is well appointed with a nice vibe. Large menu with plenty of options to satisfy your cravings. Optional kids menu to ensure your little one have easy choices. Good variety of adult beverages on tap and bottled to satisfy your thirst. Waitstaff were very pleasant and friendly. Gave good suggestions and answered any questions we had. Meals were plentiful and we took our leftover home to enjoy the next day. Overall a very satisfying experience. Restaurants have become more expensive over the past few years, but prices were pretty much in line with recent outings locally and in the northeast generally.

    I have ordered my usual chicken liver with mashed potatoes, beet roots, pickles and shredded carrots. The onion have been caramelized to perfection, it was soft put just right over the edge of being crunchy. Lifer have been fried and seasoned to the best taste I have ever had outside my birth place in Hungary. Lifer was fried also to have a perfect taste. There were not too much oil and this way the seasoned liver beautifully mixed with the caramelized onion, mashed potatoes and any other three sides. It was an amazing dish. Also had Zywiec beer. My server were very busy but took care of me. Facilities were very clean. I only gave four star for the atmosphere because the music was loud. Brilliant restaurant to enjoy polish and hungarian tastes. This is my favorite restaurant.

    Good service, interesting Polish menu. Not everything on menu is good, there are some good dishes like potato pancakes and stuffed mushrooms, but I didn't like their version of fried pickles. For some reason I expect to see a whole bunch of different sausages, but I didn't and the one on the appetizers menu is not that good. Pork dishes are probably the best.

    My favorite Polish restaurant in NJ. The inside is gorgeous with lots of historic paintings on th walls. The service is great, the waiters advice on the dish choice that's always on spot. The soups are delicious and the second entries are very yummy. I am a returned customer over and over again.

    Borscht with mushroom dumplings is excellent. Chicken cutlet is also very good. Potato & cheese pierogies good but a bit too much pepper. Recommend Royal Warsaw if in the area.

  • 5/5 grace k. 5 years ago on Google
    Great, taste Polish food, warm atmosphere. Stuff friendly, food comes fast, large verify of choices. What I like the most was presentation of the desert. Server came with all deserts on large plate, for us to see, I eat with my eyes, of course I ordered it. Only one minus, not enough of side polish salads, too small portions. Overall great experience!!!

    The only regret I have is that there is only 5 stars to give this awesome restaurant. I was blown away by the ambiance and service. The prices are right where they should be, fair and affordable. In these days of inflated costs and disappointing products this place gives you more than what you pay for. Trust me.

    I didn't know Polish food could be this flavorful. The potato pancakes (latkes) are a really good appetizer, and I got the plate a la Warsaw as my main dish. It has a little bit of everything; it comes with perogies (pretty good), stuffed cabbage (delicious), kielbasa (polish sausage, very good), and hunter's stew (which is mostly more sausage and some other stuff, also very good). The service was very good and the price was reasonable.

    We dined here for the first time based on the reviews we saw on Google Maps, and the meal did not disappoint! I ordered the Plate A La Warsaw and found it to be incredible fresh and delicious! It had a little bit of everything which I really enjoyed. Also, the server was awesome! He was super friendly and attentive and the one who recommend the Plate A La Warsaw.
