"We experienced the most incredible Caribbean cuisine at this restaurant. We savored dishes such as salt fish croquettes, Trinidadian doubles, oxtail stew, goat curry, and jerk chicken. The bold and spicy flavors were absolutely fantastic. The oxtail stew was a standout, with a rich gravy filled with tender meat and butter beans that paired perfectly with the rice and peas. The jerk chicken was outstanding, boasting a smoky flavor while remaining juicy. Each main dish was served with plantains and a side salad. Despite the amazing food, we were surprised to find the restaurant was not very busy. We were so impressed by the food that we devoured it too quickly to even take photos. We highly recommend this restaurant!"

"Visited Polish Kitchen this evening for a family birthday. There is seating inside but it’s best to book. We ordered our food and drinks, everything arrived promptly. Our starters were the kielbasa delicious with hunks of bread and mustard, smoked salmon and potato pancakes fresh, tasty pancakes with a decent helping of smoked salmon on top, and the black pudding with bread and sour cucumber delicious. Main courses were bigos and mash rich, tasty, full of flavour, pierogi’s which were surprisingly light and delicious two of us had these and we both added salt and pepper but I appreciate this is a personal choice, the brigands pancake was huge! a massive potato pancake with beef stew and fresh salads. We were tasting one another’s dishes and everything was delicious. One of us had the ham hock and it was a vast hunk of meat, tender, rich, falling off of the bone with cabbage alongside. We finished with warm Polish apple pie with ice cream, custard and cream. Wow! is all I can say. Everything was accompanied by a selection of Polish beer which I’m told was very good too. I honestly can’t recommend Polish Kitchen enough. Give it a go, you’ll get friendly service, damn good home cooked food, and you’ll leave with a full belly and be pleasantly surprised at the price."

"This place was recommended by a friend, went there for lunch with hubby. We both enjoyed it, I found the food was not as salty as other Turkish restaurants I had been which is a big yes for me. Service was good, attentive, friendly staffs, the price is not bad either considering all the rising cost. They don't charge service charge, so make sure to prepare some cash if you would like to tip. We will definitely be back."

"We booked a table after seeing the high tripadvisor ratings for this restaurant. When we arrived (7pm on a weekend evening) we were the only people in there! We enjoyed our meals, although they only made 3 of the 4 meals we had ordered and we had to ask about the final one. They didn't admit they had forgotten it and it turnoed up another 10 minutes later with no apology for the delay. 3 of the 4 meals were excellent. The 4th was very disappointing. Didn't feel that staff were particularly attentive given that we were the only ones there. Food was tasty, so would probably choose to eat from there again, but would go for the takeaway option instead."

"I just returned from holiday off a late flight following day had nothing but yoghurt and fruit for breakfast. Ordered from here that night. A few hours later, I developed food poisoning and still have not recovered over 12 hours later. I did not order rice, but made my own, so the bacteria was present in either the chicken or pork ribs. I must say that I have previously ordered from here on two occasions, with no issues. However, the previous night’s order will be my last as there must be some serious disregard for food safety and handling in recent weeks. Salt level was also off the scale yesterday Dead Sea levels of salt. Avoid. Save Food poisoning. P.S. I posted this review on Google reviews and the restaurant has tried to contact me to “resolve my issue”. While this is appreciated, I have been sick for two days due to unsafe food. To solve this issue, your kitchen needs a thorough investigation into its food safety practices this is highly dangerous."
