Nice cute little cafe restaurant. Enjoyed the special of the day which was the duck dumpling and cranberry sauce, (tasted great!) the speed lamb (very soft and succulent but a bit watered down in flavour) and also the pork roulade (great!).
Bylimy w Alchemy w listopadzie 2016r. w czasie naszego niestety zbyt krtkiego pobytu w Sydney. Szkoda e znalelimy to miejsce na kilka dni przed powrotem do Polski. Bylibymy tam czciej, ale zabrako czasu. Pan Janusz i jego przemia ona serwuj naprawd dobre polskie jedzenie. Pyszne roladki, pierogi, zrazy. Do tego sodziutkie aromatyczne nalewki. Jabecznik jak w domu. Atmosfera bardzo mia. Mona posiedzie, pogada i posucha starych polskich przebojw. Jeli tylko bdziemy znowu w Sydney na pewno tam wrcimy!Serdecznie pozdrawiamy p. Janusza i p. Helen. Agnieszka, Jacek i Oriana
The food in here is great! very traditional and well priced. Big portions and will definitely make u feel full after eating.. Went on a weekday, it’s not busy at all so you will have a good service i suppose… Recommended
Well now I know why Polish food hasn’t made it to the mainstream.. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think there’s a problem with the food here, I’m sure the chef followed the recipe and it’s an age old one at that, but I don’t think I like polish food.The place is run by a lovely old polish couple, really friendly, great service, that was a plus.I tried the signature dish, the dumplings (got the 6 variety pack ) – it was a bit heavy with oil from the frying but the real problem was it was so bland, no flavour. Same problem with my main, the ‘speed lamb’, zero flavour and even the sauerkraut salad didn’t help excite my palate.Of interest, they also had spaghetti bolognese on the menu, and I’ve since looked up ‘speed lamb’ on google and couldn’t find it anywhere let alone a polish recipe?
An authentic and delicious experience! The food here was not only extremely tasty, yet was just like how my Babcia (grandmother) used to make. The Pierogi were amazing, devoured in minutes; Pork Goulash stuffed inside the potato pancake was also a major winner! However, the one dish anyone would have to order is the beetroot soup with beef dumplings. All of this washed down with a polish beer (Zywiec) and finished with a slice of plum cake (which is a must when visiting), was a great meal and experience. Overall, with the added decor, friendly and hospitable hosts, folk music and quick service, left me feeling like I was sitting back in the main square at Krakow.
We were a group of four on a Friday night and ordered peirogi and the potato pancake with salmon for entrees. Both were tasty and the potato pancake was lighter than anticipated.For mains, we had the marysienka, goose and pork shank with Polish gnocchi.. Marysienka had a nice sauce and smaller than the other two mains but this was fine as we were sharing. Goose was moist. Pork shank was nice but my favourite part of this dish was the Polish gnocchi which was soft yet chewy and looked like homemade chips if you weren’t paying attention.Service is fantastic. Super lovely over the phone and very welcoming and friendly in person. Didn’t have to wait too long for food.
One of the must-visit-places in Surry Hills..Renowned for its home made Polish foods..Fresh roses on tables, The high ceiling with its bright chandelier, tiers of home made Polish cakes on display, Friendly Polish jokes, lines of home made liquors on top of the cabinet…You are lucky if you meet Janusz, the owner of the restaurant, coz He will entertain you and make sure you have an enjoyable evening for the next hour or two…Went there with my Polish Colleague and I basically ate what she picked..I tasted the famous Borsch (with dumplings), finished a bowl of Zurek (Polish Rye soup with Polish Sausage and Boiled egg), shared a plate of Bigos (Beef Sauerkraut soup), sipping a slot of Wild Cherry liquor, took away a slice of Easter Cake, shared a slice of Poppy Seed Crumble with ice cream with my Polish Colleague… I felt content..grateful and went back to office smiling :))…
