Brooklyn Polish Pierogies and Stuffed Meatballs
Pierogies, kielbasa and Hungarian style pancakes at a long running 86th Street room.
🥟 A Polish Table With Range
On 86th Street, the menu moves through Polish comfort cooking with an easygoing, generous spirit. Pierogies pair with dill sauce, while Hungarian style potato pancakes sit alongside stuffed veal meatballs and crab cakes. It is a broad, hearty lineup, with familiar staples sharing space with less expected plates.
For a table that wants more than one direction, the range is the draw. The Hungarian style potato pancakes bring a clear change of pace from a pierogi order, while beef tartare adds another distinct option. Kielbasa and stuffed cabbage keep the Polish classics in view, and the service is friendly. The room has an unpretentious feel, so the meal can stay focused on the food rather than ceremony.
At 1866 86th Street in Brooklyn, this is a sit down dinner for people choosing between a crisp potato plate, a dumpling order, and beef tartare. During peak summer heat, the dining room has had air conditioning issues. That is worth weighing on a hot afternoon or early evening.
