This eatery has both the ideal address and servers who remember your name. Staff kindness turns dining into a fun experience. The quality creates a great experience. I was rendered momentarily silent. The meals here are excellent!

Simple, pleasant, quiet.
Good food. The Spätzle with cheese and bacon are great. My pork did not come with close enough sauce to moisten the dumplings.
I was annoyed that they only have 3 kinds of beer (the Czech Republic has so much good beer!). And the pours were 2/3 full, with foam all the way to the top. It's basically cheating.
When you pay with card you can't add a tip. I don't carry cash! I sure hope they pay the waitress appropriately.

The food is great and atmosphere as well. I would recommend bringing cash instead of card but other then that fantastic.

Today we visited NY for the car show at the Javit center. On our way back George wanted to stop here. I was game, being from Czech Republic I was certainty up for some good ole native food. Well, let’s say they didn’t disappoint. Our waitress was great, speaking both English and Czech. I also spoke with the owner as she met and spoke with my dad over the years. I wish I happened to live closer, certainly be here more often for some good ole Czech cuisine. Worth a stop and to also support local business. Thank you for the great meal and visit.

Amazing specials, the duck was perfect. Also the kielbasa? Scored, succulent, delightful with their mustard.

One of my favorite restaurants in NYC. It’s a snug, wood-accented place with boar heads and Czech decorations on the walls. The server is really friendly and gave me some great suggestions. I ended up getting a delicious Czech beer and the spaetzle with sheep cheese and boiled pierogies. It was a delicious dish. The tangy cheese went so well with the salty, fatty pork on top. Yum!!

Garlic soup was my favorite! So flavorful and cozy on a chilly day.
This place is such a hidden gem! I’ve been wanting to check it out for a while and have probably passed it a hundred times. The inside is super charming with bohemian, German, Bavarian, and Alpine vibes—definitely a unique spot compared to the rest of the neighborhood. I had a 1/2 pint of Czech beer, which was cold and crisp, and the chicken schnitzel with potatoes. The schnitzel was perfectly tender, paired with mashed potatoes, pickled carrots, cucumber, and tomatoes—light but satisfying. The ice cream and apple strudel for dessert were the perfect sweet ending. The service was excellent, the ambiance was peaceful, and I can’t wait to return. (Pro tip: they accept credit cards, but bring cash for tips!)
Service could have been slightly better but still fantastic food & atmosphere.

My friend and I came for a wonderful dinner last night. My friend had Svickova and I had the roast pork with sauerkraut, and dumplings. Everything was delicious and authentic just like when visiting the Czech Republic. We also had some great Czech beer! Service was also very friendly and the restaurant itself looks very nice and cozy inside. Koliba is truly a gem in New York City and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Czech cuisine!
