Bratek Deli: Reviews & Ratings
This pork loin is good as hell. I love being a niger yall. But I could fuckin find Bratek. He was the first person I ever heard of. I'm not a fan of the potatoes but I like the taste of the beans in the sauce.
I'm not exactly Polish and do not speak the language, but I love this packed store, which I discovered after visiting its affiliate, the Pastrami Grill. On the right as you enter there is a section with all kinds of Polish dairy products, butter, farmer cheese, etc., herring and smoked fish. Continue and you come to a hot food bar, which is attended. So far we have tried the stuffed cabbage and the red cabbage, both very good. La Portena picked up a container of beef tripe soup. A bit salty, but very tender. Continue on, and you will come to a deli counter with many types of kielbasa, kabanosy, hams and all manner of Polish pork products. If you're like me, you'll want to find an English speaker, or you can just gesture. Prices are modest, quality is high. There's a large baked goods section as well. I'm always a little nervous about pastry items in these places, but the rye bread was excellent. The pastries look the part. Along the far wall, you'll find pierogies and the excellent pickles they also sell at the Pastrami Grill. As you wait to pay, you can peruse the selection of herbs, spices, and dried mushrooms. Unfortunately for me, the packaging is all in Polish. Check out is pretty efficient. Overall, I would say the store is friendlier than the Polish places I used to visit in Greenpoint, and it has become my favorite store of its type in the tri-state area. Recommended.

Amazing deli, great hot foods made on premises. Amazing assortment of fresh baked breads and cold cuts, cakes, spices, hot lunch and dinner that you can customize. Great prices. Huge selection of cheeses, cold cuts, breads, cakes, you name it, they have it. Best Polish deli
I was craving something different something homemade so I got on Yelp and found this spot!! I read a few reviews about them being rude and not wanting to speak anything but Polish but the ladies who helped us were very nice and helpful one couldn't speak English so her coworker instantly jumped in and explained things to us and gave us recommendations!!! Everything was delicious cabbage with smoked sausage omggg that was my favorite thing the ribs fall off the bone baby and did I mention 2 large packed diners for $16 wtffffff not $16 each $16 for both oh yeah I'm going back real soon get up and go get you some!!!!!
Well stocked, clean and busy deli that'll make you feel you're right smack in central Warsaw! Interesting European canned and bottled goods of all types, snacks, sundries, you name it! Visited the full-service hot food counter as well as the self-service buffet bar today to grab an assortment of delicious, authentic Polish / Eastern European favorites. Happy to report that everything was delicious. The stuffed cabbage (huge portions) was one of my favorites! The pirogies were packed with flavor and delicate - you can tell they're super fresh. Pork cutlet was also a nice sized portion. Noodles sautéed with bacon, mushrooms and kraut were excellent. Potato pancakes, interesting croquettes and fresh mashed potatoes rounded out my gastronomic trip overseas! Only ding is that the place is a bit overstocked which can make it a little chaotic in there - and they were out of some staple items like chicken soup and cooked kielbasa! Regardless - definitely going back next time I'm craving some great Polish food! (Tip: Liquor store in the same strip mall has some Polish beer brands - cheers!)
Who would have thought I needed polish food in my life and stomach. Tiny polish supermarket with all things polish. In back there's a cold cuts and hot food counter. Got lunch, barely, from kind ladies who spoke polish. Big table with amazing looking food. That said, don't look for a lot of veggies or healthy dishes, think meat and potatoes. Got stuffed cabbage, potatoes with gravy and cucumber salad. Could not eat more than 1/2, and I though I was hungry. Huge servings at decent prices of deliciousness. Saw a lot there that perked my interest. No dining area, strictly pickup only. Wallington DMV, you are now DMV of choice from now on.
