Dawne Smaki - Menu

The restaurant was just fair. The food was average. We expected much better. The service was good.

A beloved Houston classic, we decided to get takeout during the pandemic and the food was absolutely incredible.

Many of my usual go-to spots have closed down due to the pandemic, but I am grateful that this restaurant is still open. View menu

Food was excellent, chicken soup, pork loin, cheese plate. Violinist playing while we ate made for a perfect night. Our waitress was very helpful with recommendations and made it easy on us as she was able to speak perfect English.

This is an exceptional restaurant. There is seating inside, on the sidewalk, or in the lovely garden in the rear. We ate in the garden. I ordered the beef tartar, which was the best that I have tasted. I followed this with the summer borscht. This was also delicious. The appearance of both of these dishes was artful.

Start to finish, everything was amazing ... including the accordionist. I'm an American traveling and wanted to find true Polish food in an authentic Polish environment, and Dawne Smaki did not disappoint. It was so easy to make our reservation online. The waitress was prompt and provided great service. Would recommend the dumplings (perogies) and beef tartar. Our main courses (pork knuckle and beef medallions) were delicious as well. The waitress recommended the chocolate cake for dessert ... I'm glad I chose that. It's similar to a lava cake. Excellent dining experience! Worth noting that THEY DO TAKE CREDIT CARDS. View menu

Great food and quaint atmosphere. Having been my first time in Warsaw I asked hotel concierge for suggestions of traditional Polish cuisine. The food was quite tasty and well prepared; very unique flavor and my chicken was tender and cooked perfectly. Food is a little pricy compared to other options in the area. My only complaint is that, perhaps I am just not used to the different culture as this was my first out to dinner experience in Warsaw, but the service was nonexistent. Drop off menu after sitting waiting 10 mins, 15 mins later ask what you want, 25 mins give food, wait 10 mins for check. I came during a Saturday at 330 pm and there were only 2-3 other people in the restaurant so I'm...

This was my first restaurant in Warsaw (actually in Poland even). I will break my review into three parts. 1) Pierogies they were incredible (5/5). I chose the combo which was al 4 different types (2 each). The outside was thinner and lighter than anything I've had in the US. All fillings were terrific. 2) My main entree was the pork chop (more of a fried thin pork cutlet) was quite good. The cabbage was very good and also came with potatoes. The plate was also decorated very nicely (although the cook or waiter got some food on his fingers on my plate). I'd give this 4/5. 3) Service it was non existent. He took my order, brought no bread (he did to everyone else); although I didn't need to e...

We went here on our first night in Warsaw. We asked the concierge at our hotel where we should eat for dinner and he recommended this place. It's about a 10 minute walk from the Sheraton and super easy to find. We went on a Monday night and did not have to wait for a table. We started with Polish beer but there was a little miscommunication. I ordered the large house beer and they thought we ordered 1 for each person. Not the end of the world since it was only 12 PLN each but not everyone drank it. Onto the food...I had the lamb shank (85 PLN) and my friends got the pork chop (29 PLN) and onion and mushroom pierogis (24 PLN for 8). All of the food was excellent. I've tried Polish food before...
