Engel's Paradise in Dover

What a lovely little place with a very cosy atmosphere. A real hidden gem. You feel like being at home. Excellent and very personal service and excellent food. There is a choice for everyone at a very reasonable price. I had the very delicious Pierogi and you must try Slava's baked cheesecake as dessert! I am sure that once you have tried this little place it won't be your last time.

Delicious homemade food, friendly owners who make you feel really welcome. You must try TORT for dessert! 🍰🤤

Slava is truly amazing - not only the food is plain, genuine Polish delicacies, hand cooked and and served freshly, she also really knows how to make people feel warmly welcome. A new must-go gem in Deal!

I was here today for the first time, but definitely not the last. Delicious food, just like mom's :) Lovely atmosphere and service. I recommend

First time in Engel's Paradise and will be returning. Great food and service. Cheesecake was insane.

We enjoyed a lovely homemade meal with friends. The service was friendly, and the owner knowledgeable. The main course, klopsiki (meatballs), was some of the best Polish meatballs I’ve ever had. My partner enjoyed the schabowy (Polish pork schnitzel), and our friends loved the Hunter's Stew. We all thoroughly enjoyed our food and would highly recommend Engel's Paradise. As there’s no drinks licence currently, it’s BYOB with a corkage fee. Don’t be in a hurry—everything is cooked fresh from scratch.

Amazing food, such kind people, and the atmosphere was so homey I loved it! 💕

Amazing food, service and atmosphere - definitely coming back!

Easily one of the best places to eat in Deal. Authentic and great value, the pierogi are especially awesome but you can't go wrong with any dish here 👍

Amazing day at Deal finished with delicious food at Engels Paradise ❤️❤️❤️Love vibes of this place 😋

I visited Engel’s Paradise with a colleague this evening. As soon as we walked in we were made to feel incredibly welcome! The owners are incredibly friendly and the food is just perfect! You can taste that it is made fresh every day and home cooked. I definitely recommend the Rosół and Pierogi! Should I be in the area again I will be sure to pay another visit!

Being half Polish, I was delighted to find this small, unpretentious yet delicious Polish eatery on my doorstep. Both times I visited, I've been delighted by the very warm welcome and best kielbaska west of Krakow. Will definitely be back!

Thank you Slava and Andrew and Karen. A pleasure meeting you all and for a wonderful dining experience like in your own home. Nothing like home cooking food. Very much going to come again. The dumplings were amazing! I couldn't get enough of them :) You are all nice, it was wonderful with you. We thank you once again. Best regards.

Was in Deal on a monday as part of a weekend trip, and worried we had left dinner too late - found an amazing place which became a highlight of the trip; great priced homecooking style food, lovely service and a very cozy outdoor vibe. Can’t recommed it enough

I've been here several times now over the last couple of years. Slava and her husband are really lovely. She is more front off house and I guess he cooks, but I think she makes most of the cakes, although I may be wrong. It looks tiny from the outside but has a garden out back. The food is really delicious, and wear a belt that you can unfasten as the portions are generous and the price is very good for what you get. You can tell everything is really fresh, as Slava will tell you how many of each item she has, and I love that. Polish people travel far to go there for traditional dishes so that is always a good sign. If you like alcohol with your meal you can bring your own and pay a cork charge. I would highly recommend and leave you with a couple of photos from my Sunday lunch Tried the all day breakfast today (04/09/24) amazing. Filling and really tasty, I don't know how they can do it for £6.50

Great atmosphere, fresh and delicious food! And the owners are very nice and friendly!! I recommend

The food was amazing and delicious! It didn't feel like visiting a restaurant. It was more like going to your aunt's house for lunch. We had a great chat with Slava and everything about this place is just over the top. I'm very happy I've found this. 10/10

Great times with friends and amazing food :)) Engels Paradise is an awesome place 😀

Delicious homemade food, lovely owners and great atmosphere. Highly recommended!!

Polish Bistro is amazing, all food freshly prepared and tastes amazing, great work Slavia and Andrew ❣️

Beautiful Polish food with wonderful owners. Thank you for our lovely visits to you. Best wishes Kay and Peter. xx

The best homecooked food in Deal, hands down.

Brilliant food, superb service…and really great coffee!

We have visited restaurant on the 27th of July for the first time. The food was really good and freshly made my daughter really enjoyed pierogi and rosol and we had schabowe with mashed potatoes and salad. Really authentic polish food and atmosphere "feels like at mum's" Staff really friendly , place really cosy.I would highly recommend!

Delicious cake and coffee - and lovely welcome from Slava, the owner. Dog friendly too!

Great food and fantastic hosting & service. One of Deal's best, would highly recommend and we will definitely be back.

5 star service all the way! I think everyone needs to visit this place at least once.. but as every guest we met at the bistro said "once you visit , you will be back for more " and I totally agree. The atmosphere from your first step inside is lovely . Very friendly owners, make you feel like you have known them for a long time . Food was served fairly quickly considering its made as its ordered so its all fresh , not taken out the microwave. We had soup of the day, schabowy and pierogi, which I will definitely come back for 😃 a yes for us! The garden area is fab as well! Thank you for the experience we have had. Oh and almost forgot to mention, the prices are very affordable! I have never paid so little and left so full anywhere else👌

Never open when it says it is. Tried three times and the kitchen always closed. Won’t bother trying again.

We have been here so many times and each time it is a great experience! We always say “It’s the best Polish bistro in town”. The value is amazing, food so good (try the vegetarian pierogi) and Slava and Andrew are great hosts. There’s so many regulars and a really friendly atmosphere.

Tasty, very nice service. You feel at home when you enter this restaurant. I recommend to everyone.

Great food and Service. Bit of a hidden Gem in Deal. Will definitely be visiting again

The atmosphere was very homely, and the owners lovely. The food was very delicious, being home-cooked and coming in large portions. Would recommend anyone to visit if in Deal, as it is not so far from the town centre. The best Polish soup rosół and schabowy. We'll be back if we are close by.

Really great place to eat, delicious Polish food, fresh and tasty, friendly owners, you can feel just like at home. We highly recommend this place and will definitely be back again

Certainly the best food in Deal!

Very nice owners, delicious food, homely atmosphere, decent prices. A great place to eat well and have a good time. We highly recommend it!!!!!

Hidden gem with authentic, delicious, home made food! Definitely worth a visit to this fantastic little place. The hosts are so welcoming and kind and really put love into their food and business. Wonderful, welcoming, delicious and authentic!

Excellent homemade Polish dinner. Very friendly atmosphere, brilliant food, reasonably priced. I would recommend to anyone and will be returning again.

Delicious food and great atmosphere

the food was delicious and the cake was light and fluffy. the pierogi was so yummy! the staff were very welcoming, we will definitely be back :) this place is such a little gem if you haven’t been you are missing out !

Well, you can add food just like Mom's You always eat delicious food and you can't leave it And the little cherry on this cake is that the hosts are warm and nice, what can I say, you have to go and check it out. You definitely won't be disappointed 👍🤗😁🥰

Visited with my sister on a Saturday afternoon. A very friendly place with fantastic service. The traditional Polish food was lovely. Will definitely return.

This place was a fab little find on our weekend holiday. We happened to drive past it by accident after making a wrong turn and seen the Polish flag, so we went back the following day for dinner to check it out. The food was great, the service was great, the owner was so lovely and the atmosphere was too. We were travelling with our little puppy who is too young to walk around outside yet on the lead and they were more than happy for us to bring her in and let her investigate in the room out the back where we sat with the patio door open. We will definitely go again when back in the area!

Absolutely a gem! We will go back with friends and family.

Had excellent home made Perogi in this lovely little (and very clea) Polish bistro I Deal. Too full to try the deserts on offer but the home made cake looked marvellous.

Absolutely brilliant. A little taste of authentic Polish food in Deal. Food was perfect. Service fantastic. A real gem of a restaurant. Already looking forward to our next visit. And my next pierogi.

first class food, very clean. very friendly staff. Will definitely go back.

Great Quality Of Traditional Polish Food

The food here is amazing. All cooked fresh to order by two of the loveliest people. Portions are extremely generous and the prices are very reasonable. If you go once, you’ll go back!

Portions were very generous and the food delicious. Everything seemed freshly prepared and good quality. The highlight though was the excellent service from Engel's Paradise. Genuinely friendly and a credit to the business. It was also very reasonably priced for the quality and we would definitely return. Would highly recommend as an alternative to a traditional Polish food.

Great food, nice family atmosphere very friendly people showed us the whole restaurant everyone will find something for himself

A lovely relaxed lunch with friends, with fresh, tasty dishes and cheerful, friendly service. Much discussion on ingredients with the charming owners. Luscious sorrel soup, and beautifully-presented main courses. Light-as-a-feather cake and excellent teas and coffees. Really worth seeking out!

The food is very tasty and fresh, everything is prepared with great care, I highly recommend it

It was a delightful experience returning to this restaurant with my family. The food is consistently delicious, and the staff is extremely friendly. We'll definitely be coming back, and we highly recommend this place to everyone. The warm atmosphere and great service make it a top choice

A fantastic place. Great food and coffee. The breakfast was excellent. Slava & Andrew were very welcoming. Will be back when I am in the area.

Super Polish food in a friendly, cosy little place. Slawomira and Andrew have created an authentic Eastern European experience right here in Deal.

This is a truly lovely and unusual place to go. Great tea and coffee and cake, and delicious Polish food. Top breakfasts and specials. It's small and quirky., and the owners are the nicest people you could wish to meet.

Home cooked food, lovely atmosphere and great owners. Would 100% recommend. Pierogi are the best. Thank you Slava for always having us!

Delicious food, best of Poland right there! Great atmosphere, felt right at home. Will definitely go back.

Always a great welcome and beautifully presented delicious food.

An absolutely brilliant little place. Slava and Andrew have crafted a welcoming home-from-home where you are looked after like an old friend. Their food is scrumptious; proper authentic Polish home cooking. We shared Pierogis and Bigos and they were absolutley delicious- bursting with flavour and clearly cooked with love. Slava gifted us a slice of a beautiful cake she’d made with fresh cream and fresh fruit; absolute heaven. We will definitely be back!

What a hidden marvel. Slava and Andrew are fabulous people. The whole lunch experience felt like we were being welcomed into the home of old friends. We shared pierogi and bigos, and Slava’s homemade cake. All beyond delicious. We will be back again… and again… and again! Lots of love Sarah and Natalie xx

Slava and Andrew’s restaurant is a gorgous little place where they serve home cooked food made with love. The welcome is warm, you’ll be treated like a valued friend and fed the most delicious food. We shared Pierogis and Bigos for lunch and it was plenty for both of us, as well as looking and tasting amazing. Definitely have a slice of Slava’s heavenly cake- you’ll miss out if you don’t! My new favourite place in Deal.

Amazingly delicious Polish food. Excellent service. Run a lovely couple. It was an accidental find and we had a brilliant night. Spotlessly clean. I have lived in Poland for 4 years and this food was right up there with the best! Will definitely visit again and again!

Polish food out this would and lovely tort will come again robin lisowski jacky from guildford

Delightful place. Friendly chatty staff. Food presented beautifully. Cake was to die for. Garden and inside very cute. Indoors relaxing and chic

Engels Paradise is a wonderful place to try delicious Polish cuisine. The homely atmosphere and the owners who are friendly towards customers make everyone feel just good there. I recommend it with all my heart.

What a fantastic surprise! We had our first meal here on Friday evening, and it certainly won't be our last. Our meal was utterly delicious and everything looked so tempting! It really felt like a lot of care had been put in to making all the food taste so fresh and flavoursome. Sława and Andrew have created a wonderfully welcoming restaurant where they really make you feel at home. We will definitely be returning! Janusz and Anne

Such a special place, run by a special couple. Could not have been made to feel more welcome when dining alone. Food was delicious. Had to hold back from hugging the owner goodbye as I left - such a wonderful and warm human being.

Had a delicious meal at Engel’s Paradise tonight with my sister and dad, which we all enjoyed thoroughly. Fresh, tasty, healthy and homemade. Super friendly and kind owners. Hope the restaurant does well as it deserves to.

I've been here for the breakfast and dinners many times with my brother. Highly recommend to anyone. Food is always fresh and tasty. Just like in mum's. Thanks to Sławka and Andrzej for a friendly atmosphere. Well done 👌

Great food, great place. Much seating around and very spacious.

We are regular customers to Engel’s Paradise. We love the welcoming atmosphere, delicious food and great customer service! Always a lovely experience. Highly recommend for the fantastic food.

Great place guys! Food was delicious and in large portions. Slawa and Andrew's place is all about good vibes. I really liked the attention to detail in the interior. If you are in Deal and hungry, go and try some Polish food made with love !

Popped in today and had the most lovely meal. Really delicious unique food, generous portions and a lovely homely environment. I’ll be coming again soon!

A fab little find. AMAZING unique food at a great price and a lovely homely atmosphere!

Delicious food and very welcoming and friendly people who run this wonderful restaurant. We had the herring as starters and cold meat and cheese platter. The herring is in a lovely mayonnaise with tiny bits of gherkin in it served with sweet rye bread. The main course we had delicious cod in a well flavoured batter with mashed potatoes and a sprinkling of dill. Plus creamed beetroot and a lovely salad with a creamy mayonnaise on the side. My friend Paweł had the pork snitzel which he enjoyed with the same accompaniments. We had to have a bit of a rest and recline in the sun loungers out in the court yard where we ate, before we ate desert. Delicious sponge with cream and fresh fruit served with ice cream. We had non alcohol beer but there was a variety of Polish fruit juices as well as other drinks! Slana the lady who runs the restaurant is the cook and she is definitely very good at cooking. Will definitely go again. We were not rushed or anything just a very relaxing place. Thank you 🙂

With a really friendly owner, great chef and gorgeous fresh ingredients thisbis by far the best Polish food I've ever had. If you don't know what to order, the owner is both knowledgeable and approachable.

We had a great lunch at Engels Paradise. Tasty home cooked food with very friendly owners. It was a nice break from the standard seaside fish and chips. We also loved sitting out in the sun in the back garden.

A Polish paradise. We visited Engel’s paradise on the suggestion of a friend and what a great suggestion it turned out. On arrival we had a warm and friendly welcome from Slavia. We chose a selection of dishes that included the herring in yoghurt, the cold meats and cheese platter, and the Perogi. Each of the dishes were fresh, expertly prepared and so tasty. The service was great and so too the decor with a mix of Poland and Deal in evidence. It truly was a little bit of Poland in the heart of Deal. We shall definitely return and recommend to anyone who has not been to get themselves down to Engel’s For a Polish paradise.

Food was amazing! I’ve never had any polish food before coming here today! It was a friendly atmosphere and great service from staff! So kind and inviting! Food had such an amazing taste and was so happy that I experienced it!

Best food in Deal, the staff is very nice and friendly 👍

Just had an amazing lunch at Engles Paradise. The food was all fresh and delicious and the staff are so lovely. It was topped off by the wonderful sunshine as we are in the cute little courtyard. The potato and egg salad is just the right combination of creamy sauce and crunchy veg and pickles while the meat & cheese plate is great for sharing. The pierogi dumplings were like little parcels of scrumptiousness. The fish salad so good and had the lushest mash potato with it. The staff are so friendly, which make it feel very homely. We can’t wait to go back and work our way through the menu!!!

Loved the genuine Polish food and warm welcome. Tried to review on Tripadviser but could not. Great place, great find.

It was absolutely delicious, was my first experience with polish food and now I feel in love with it, friendly owner kind and very attentive. Highly recommend!

This charming little bistro serves up authentic Polish cuisine that will transport you straight to the heart of Central Europe. The menu consists of hearty and delicious dishes, all made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The cozy atmosphere and excellent food make it the perfect spot for a quiet dinner or celebration with friends. The owners' hospitality and attention to detail make every visit feel like coming home. If you're looking for a taste of Poland in the UK, be sure to check out this hidden gem. My personal recommendation - Pierogi ruskie - absolutely loved them, almost as much as chatting with the owners :)

Great Food with homemade goodness. Fun atmosphere and super fabulous hosts.

Delicious Polish food and very reasonable prices. Great attention to detail in making everything look as good as it tastes. The stuffed cabbage in mushroom sauce is delicious. Not licensed, but reasonable corkage if you bring a bottle . Will be going again soon.

Best restaurant in deal best in kent.

Fantastic evening with the family Slava and Andrew are so welcoming and the food is amazing 😋 Such a lovely calming cosy atmosphere Thank you ❤❤

Wonderful home cooked food and a warm atmosphere. Also excellent value for money. Felt like going round a friends house for dinner who happens to be incredible at cooking! Thankyou ♥️

Such a friendly couple in a great place with a pretty terrace. I think it's fair to say the very tasty kielbaska comes "fully loaded" with a big pile of fresh veg, crispy onions and garlic sauce on top. I'll be back!

Great Food, Lovely People, Excellent Value - would recommend it to anyone

Went there on Sunday with family for lunch. We’ve had a Polish pork goulash and cod fish polish style. It was delicious!!! Very fresh food very tasty! Just like at mums in Poland! Slava and the service was outstanding! Very friendly and professional. Made us feel like we’re home. Recommend it to everyone! We’ll definitely be back soon!

Absolutely amazing! Me and my parents in law spent 3 hours in this wonderful establishment! Food was to die for, portions generous and hosts fantastic. I can not imagine a better way to dine :) congratulations to Slava and Andrew ! We will be back !

Absolutely fabulous food. It was excellent from the main course through coffee and dessert. Loved that the flavors are so authentic and the food so fresh.

Fantastic Polish food , a really pleasant bistro, run by a great couple. Take the plunge, and give it a go, you won't regret it.

What a great place to spend Sunday afternoon! Being Polish, I have eaten in few Polish Restaurants in London but I have to say, Slava's food have been most enjoyable by far! And what a fabulous owners! Thank you for having us Slava & Andrew!

Great service and delicious food..

Great Polish food cooked with love by Slavka and Andrew , lovely people and great fresh food , highly recommended by us . Thank you for a great evening . 😉☺️
