Have been looking for a Polish restaurant for a while and here it is.
The food was quite good. actually the meatloaf was excellent, and at the end the cheesecake was even passable, which is a high praise coming from me.
Hope one day the place will get the look and atmosphere it deserves. the 70s diner feel doesn't suite it well. To complete the experience, we also need polish speaking service :).

The food is authentic and huge! The price is right and the portion is amazing and flavorful. After the food my friend and I felt we need to lie down to breathe. 5/5, 10/10.

Amazing food! My German grandfather went nuts over the bratwurst!
Great potato pancakes. Awesome perogies. Great sauerkraut. A must try for a taste of home.
The cheese cake practically made me cry… reminds me of my oma’s homemade

This food is incredible. The borscht is probably the nest I've had, anywhere, in 25 years. (I am from the prairies). Beets are shredded, the dill is amazing. It was delightful.

Cabbage rolls were great. Peppery, cabbage is a wonderful texture, the tomato sauce isn't acidic and offensive.

Meatloaf was great! My husband made himself sick eating it so I'm confident making that review.

Perogies were a dream. I don't know what else to say.

Downside is that I might never enjoy borscht or perogies ever again, because i dont live here.

We ordered the pork hock and short ribs—both dishes far exceeded our expectations!
The portions were generous, and the pricing was very reasonable.
The atmosphere is cozy and great for conversation.
The bartender, chefs, and server were all warm, attentive, and truly cared about our experience.

Heard good things about this restaurant so we gave it a try. Monday is happy hour time and we both had the schnitzel with cabbage for 15 bucks. Sorry no pictures. Everything was delicious. Definitely will be back.

****AVOID AT ALL COSTS****
I was really excited to try Izba, given its reputation for authentic Polish cuisine, but unfortunately, my experience was far from what I had hoped for.

First, the service was extremely slow. Despite the restaurant not being very busy, our server seemed disinterested and hardly checked on us. We had to flag them down multiple times just to get basic things like water refills.

The food, which I was looking forward to the most, was underwhelming. The pierogi were bland, lacking any real flavor or seasoning, and the filling was far too dry. The borscht was greasy and tasted more like something that had been reheated multiple times rather than freshly made. It was also way too salty, which made it hard to finish.

The manager/owner, when I raised my concerns, was dismissive and unhelpful. Rather than apologizing or offering a solution, they seemed indifferent to our experience. It’s always frustrating when management doesn’t take feedback seriously, and it only made the situation worse. It felt like they weren’t interested in improving their service or maintaining customer satisfaction.

Overall, I won’t be returning. There are plenty of other places offering better Polish food and a much more welcoming dining experience. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Bit slow. Food was expensive for what you get, in my opinion. The schnitzel was good though. My girlfriend loved the short rib stew - reminded her of home.
