“Made a 2nd trip to Brooklyn during a recent vacation so my wife and daughter could get a charm necklace. Seeing all the signs in some Slavic language, I realized this was a different place in Brooklyn from the waterfront! Double-checked Pierozek was open all-day (it was 2 pm when we ate), walked a few blocks around myself and waited patiently for the necklace-makers and then enjoyed a fantastic lunch of pierogies, kielbasa and accompaniments. And beer, of course. The Murray's Cheese and Meat pierogies were delicious and lighter than you'd think. The kielbasa was fresh, large, and crisped beautifully. The Stuffed Cabbage dish was a big lunch for my wife, but we all cleaned everything off our plates. Maddy was our server and accommodating and delightful. I didn't take any foodporn photos, but their website and IG are accurate representations of the food!“
“Amazing! You’d be foolish not to try this place for Polish food. Everything is fresh every time I go there. And, I do go very often to take food out. The staff are some wonderful people. I sometimes find myself walking in to grab something (even when I don’t really need anything) just to have a laugh. Parking isn’t easy here. But, go around the block once or twice - it is worth the effort. I live nearby. So, more for me. Give these folks your business. It’s a wonderful neighborhood food shop and they deserve it.“
“Dziękuję Pyza!! Polish American from Florida here ??

“A must try place for authentic Polish food delights in the 'Little Poland' of New York. On my recent visit to Karczma, I was greeted by the courteous staff with their lovely accents and the waitress clad in traditional attire had me seated at a quiet wooden booth, past the lively bar, all of which evoked a quaint European village vibe. As I perused the menu under the flickering candlelight that was placed over a colorful handwoven placemat, I couldn't have experienced a more homely feeling out in the city on a rainy night. With a little guidance from the waitress, it felt proper to sample the 'Plate of Polish Specialties' on my first visit. The serving was plentiful and a pleasure to taste. The Polish kielbasa and the stuffed cabbage were my favorites. The boiled pierogis were a traditional treat while the hunter's stew was flavorful and unique. There was enough food left to take home which provided the perfect opportunity to pair it with a hilarious Polish flick such as 'The Taming of the Shrewd', set in the alluring Polish countryside only to be enhanced by the colorful and beautifully embroided traditional clothing worn by the local folk. There's also a heartwarming documentary film and a Google online exhibition of a 'good maharajah' and his many young Polish guests tucked away in safety for the history buff. I would highly recommend a stop over at Karczma to satisfy your Polish food cravings or for those who are curious to get their first bite. Enjoy your meal or, as they say in Polish - Smacznego!“
“Great place worth the visit. They have amazing chicken cutlet sandwiches and chicken noodle soup!! Chicken cutlet samdwich is SUPER FULL. And chicken noodle soup best in the area. Good prices for the amount of food. Also the store is led by a super cute older lady who is also the owner. Such a pleasure to have a conversation with her ❤️ love this place.“
“As a huge Gossip Girl fan, you already know I had to get pierogis from Brooklyn like Dan Humphrey recommended lol. The spot is located in a very nice and cool food hall. We got the sampler plate of Pierogies to try a little bit of everything and the Meat Pierogies were definitely our favorite, very juicy and delicious.“
“The food is out of this world !!! Everything on the menu is made fresh.Outstanding athletic Polish food. It has a very nice vibe. The staff was friendly and professional. I would recommend Christina's and will definitely be going back real “
“Came across this place few weeks ago and had to give it a try. Honestly, the food is tasty no doubt. I tried the Potato and cheese Pierogies, chicken noodles soup and finished it off with their yummy cream puff.Other note: kudos to the staff very polite! ?“
“A little gem in our neighborhood, I have been coming here for years to pick up food for when I have no energy to make dinner/ when I have people to impress with "home cooking". The sausages are great and I would die for the potato and cheese pierogis.I was recommended to call ahead for frozen pierogis.“
“They often mess up our orders both in person and in deliveries but when they do get it right, it’s amazing. I’ve had somewhat undercooked food there as well as a few foods that didn’t always taste consistent and so you weren’t sure what flavor it’ll be the day you go but overall it’s good.“
“I had a very enjoyable lunch here. I got the sampler to go with boiled perogies and kielbasa.The Kielbasa was very flavorful, the stuffed cabbage was loaded with meat, and the perogies were so moist. The sides all had distinctly different tasts. Tart saurkraut, sweet carrots, earthy sweet beets, light cole slaw, and strong purple cabbage.Can't wait to get a perogie sampler and some borscht next time.Parking: A few metered spots.“

“On a rainy Saturday afternoon, I finally made my way to Relax and I only wish I had been going here sooner. This place is truly a gem. I ordered the buckwheat pirogies and the zurek soup. OMG, absolutely delicious, perfect and heartwarming. I immediately felt welcomed, like I was going to a family’s house for dinner and the food came out incredibly quick. This Polish/Hungarian American cannot wait to come back and try everything on the menu!(Also whatever that fruit juice is, LOVED IT!!)“
