Folk House Zakopane Restaurant in Haringey

Delicious food and great atmosphere. I recommend it wholeheartedly. Ciupaga chops well 😉

Food not great, quite pricey, used to be good a few years ago.😩

I first went here years ago, and had a great meal then, years later I came back to visit with some friends. It was just as good, if not better because I ordered more food. Portions big, prices very reasonable, staff great and the icing on the cake was being in the presence of one the strongest men on earth. No seriously, the waiter/owner holds world records, ask them. 10/10 will visit again, hopefully sooner this time.

I don’t relish leaving negative reviews but the quality of food was shockingly bad on my visit. Barely edible, bone-dry chicken. Tangy vegetables clearly on the turn. We were the only people eating there so to complain felt uncomfortable. It’s a shame as the other reviews here are great and I was looking forward to it!

Great atmosphere, great trout, pieorgi, sour soup, yummy and I recommend the Ciupaga drink, everything is tasty and fresh.

Przepyszne jedzenie duże porcje

Very nice golonka, and a good size portion. I'm probably still digesting it a 1 1/2 weeks later 😆

Big portions with reasonable prices. Sweet pierogi 🥟 and roast duck are quite nice. Nothing fancy here, homey food.

Outstanding authentic local and international restaurant. We just had a light meal and drinks but it was delicious.

Choćbym chciała dać więcej gwiazdek za samo jedzenie, bo jest całkiem smaczne, a porcje duże, to widok pełzającego między półkami z alkoholami prusaka ( wygląda jak karaluch ) mi na to nie pozwala. Mieszkając w Londynie miałam niestety nieprzyjemną okazje się z tym borykać, więc doskonale wiem jak one wyglądają i jak szybko się rozprzestrzeniają. Rada dla właściciela, nie depczcie ich bo wtedy ich jajka się roznoszą.

Very nice and cosy place! Mr Stanislaw will make you feel like at home! Absolutely fantastic atmosphere, with customer service being on a top level! Will recommend dish with salmon-WOW🤩

Great for social drinking, not for dining in.

Brilliant, owner very professional and friendly. Delicious fresh traditional food. Perfect place.

Walked past this place so many times before booking a table, and wish I’d done so much sooner. Everything was fantastic and left these two New Zealanders eagerly awaiting our next visit. Go with an appetite!

Everything was great apart from hard chair/ bench to sit on; a little cushion would do the job.

I simply love it... Great design, very diversified menu of polish dishes, also good choices of drinks both alcoholic and non-alcoholic... Excellent customer service, very nice staff, engaging in conversation... Will be back and highly recommended... If you love East European good than this polish restaurant is a must ...

We visited on the spur of the moment and there was no menu outside so we didn’t know exactly what to expect. Between us we ordered the goulash, a chicken schnitzel and pork chop. It was all delicious and the portions were huge. We plan to go back to try more of the menu!

Delicious food, generous portions and you can tell that it's prepared fresh on the day. Real authentic polish cousine, so far I would say it's the best one I've had in London. Most definitely recommend! Przepyszne polskie jedzenie, porcja naprawdę spora , z pewnością wrócimy

Only my 2nd time having polish food and I have to say its always delicious. I got the pork shank, mashed potatoes and cabbage and it was amazing. Staropramen on tap is ice cold and delicious, this place is top notch really good.

Amazing taste, fresh and genuine food and a great atmosphere! We love it! Thank you guys for the amazing service and food 🙏🙏

Tasty. Big portions. Nothing extraordinary.

Great food, full portions. Menu leans towards all manner of pork, cabbage, cheese dishes and many other things. Good beer. Whimsical, sometimes cheeky folk art line the walls, animal pelts draped over the seating. There will probably be a few other local polish people having some food or a pint. Good sign. You probably won't hear English spoken here, other than by your waiter. Behave as a guest and they will treat you well. Hidden gem kind of place, definitely worth the trip.

Lovely place with lovely owner!

Klimat i smak w 100%- ach góralski jakosc przewyższa cene ;-) Polecam i wrócę

PysZny placek po zbuju. Polecam

Lovely place amazing fresh food.5 stars 🌟

Jest okropne jedzenie , stek z wolowiny to jak podeszfa.

Ciężko opisać słowami. Po prostu obłęd!! 😍😍😍

Bardzo dobre jedzenie. I wyśmienita atmosfera.

Friendly service , tasty potato pancake with goulash,but not so sure about Zurek, yet will go back and try pierogi and other dishes.

Amazing restaurant. Martyna the waitress is just amazing. Funny, polite and very professional. Always looking for our table. Food also good.

Właśnie jesteśmy świeżo po pysznym niedzielnym obiadku. Porcje ogromne, że aż ciężko zjeść w całości. Świetnie podana golonka w drewnianym korycie.Szaszłyk ,rybka I kaczka naprawdę pyszne 😊Pan właściciel bardzo fajny góral 😊Polecam gorąco .Smacznego 😊😊😊

Mielony tak tardy ze nie dale sie jesc schab suchy smierdzacy starym olejem golonka zimna I smierdzaca nie polecam

The food was delicious. Big portion sizes to go with it. The service was good and the man who took our order sang happy birthday for a local and gave him a desert which was nice to see.

Najlepsza Polska restauracja, super gospodarz. Dobra na wyjścia ze znajomi z rodzina a nawet samemu. Klimat robi cudowna robotę 😍

Właśnie wróciliśmy z Zakopanego...super restauracja, wspaniała atmosfera, genialne jedzenie...mała przytulna...polecam

Przyjazne ceny dań obiadowych. Smaczne desery w normalnej cenie, miły wystrój wnętrza.

We walked in and were not impressed about the telly being on on the sport section but once we managed to turn it off in our minds we really enjoyed the amazing, tasting food (the Polish dumplings simply super!) and the lovely furniture which make you feel like you are in a cottage on the mountains. They have nice selection of Polish beers, also the portions are very big, so you won't leave starving.

It’s a pretty cute and traditional polish restaurant. Food was good but I’ve had better in London!

Polecam 😃 pyszne jedzonko za nie duże pieniądze 😁

Bylismy tam pierwszy raz wczoraj. Poczułem się naprawdę jak w naszym mieście Zakopane. Pyszne jedzenie,super właścicielka. Polecam

Miła atmosfera i super micha !:)

I really loved the place. It's very stylish and cosy. You can experience here traditional polish folklore. Also the food was absolutely delicious and the prices are really reasonable.

Tasty Polish food in a cosy little restaurant close to turnpike lane station. Very nice food options, friendly staff and a great selection of Polish vodkas and other drinks

Great food of a specific region of Highland in Poland, been there few times and the service along with a super tasty food was great.

We went to this restaurant on a Friday evening, there was only 4 other customers in the restaurant at the time, yet they entirely ignored us, we had to seat our selves, we waited for the menu that never came, the person in charge was having a chitchat and saw that we were waiting but didn’t care. We left, and we will never go back, awful service.

Only previously encountered Polish food in a Plymouth cafe much bigger than here. FHZ has some of the same features but a deal more enthusiasm and evident love of the dishes. It’s a small space, I think less than 20 covers but it affable garrulous and very hospitable. Very enjoyable. Close to Turnpike Lane for transport.

Pysznie, dużo i syto. Polecam serdecznie!

Oraz kolejny zamówiłem golonkę i porad kolejny kucharz ma w nosie o co się go prosi Ziemniaki nie posolone golonka też jakoś słabo doprawiona i poprostu wyciągnięta z rosołu nawet nie dopieczona o co prosiłem 2 godziny przed dostarczeniem zamówienia aby kucharz upiekł ją na chrupiąco a dostałem niedogotowaną nie dopieczoną i nie odchodzacą porcję mięsa z kością i dziwnym bukietem surówek Pierwszy raz się spotykam z kiszoną z pomidorami ale może 20 lat w Gastronomi to za mało aby wiedzieć jakie sie podaje w Zakopanem. Ogólnie to była ostatnia szansa dla tej restauracji. Ocena -bardzo słabo i bez smaku, gości mają w nosie, najważniejsze żeby było jak najwięcej

Amazing place with best polish traditional meals in London, great customer service and warm atmosphere 😊

Pyszne jedzenie prawie takie jak w domu!

We came here on the insistence of a friend who won't stop raving about the place. He was proven to be dead right. It's a small dining room (with only four or so tables) decorated with all manner of weird and wonderful curios from Polish folk culture. I think it compares favourably with the also-excellent Autograf Grill in Green Lanes. Whereas Autograf is more pricey and aimed at a trendier crowd, Zakopane seems to be aimed primarily at the local Polish community. The food is unpretentious, well-priced and delicious. The food is hearty. We started off with bread and lard with pickled cucumber, as well as sheep's cheese and pork. We then got a selection of pierogi for the table. I had a fantastic pork shank with wonderfully smokey cabbage, mustard and horseradish. The portions were enormous. We capped off the night with a beer or two and walnut vodka - as in Poland, the bar had a great selection of different fruit vodkas and brandies. The staff were helpful and tolerant of our increasing exuberance.

This restaurant is just what a Polish person needs every now and again. Delicious, authentic Polish food with gigantic portions. Everything is very reasonably priced, and the decor is fantastic (although explaining goralskie jaja to my boyfriend was slightly odd). Would definitely come back and recommend to anyone!

Few weeks ago I invited friends from France and Italy to try polish cuisine and we were not disappointed Food was superb, taste and not expensive Amazing polish atmosphere Very good value for money

Very good typical food, friendly staff and polish atmosphere. Good value for money. Very recommended!

Typical Polish cuisine. Recommended

Przepyszne jedzenie, super atmosfera. Super lokalizacja, blisko stacji Turnpike Lane. Serdecznie polecam :)

Great home made food in a home feel environment, enjoyed tatar the most, good selection of pierogi, defo recommending

Świetne jedzenie. Kuchnia 1st.Class. Polecamy tytuł

Can't recommend highly enough. Great food, amazing atmosphere -simply 10/10 Powiem tak, ze słów mi brak - najlepsza kuchnia polska na Wyspach. Tak trzymać.

Food was nice. We had to wait for food a bit as there was some event going on. We had "pirohy" - dumplings staffed with cheese and potatoes. Also gulas with potato pancake. Next time we'll try different meals.

Jedzenie mega polecam miła atmosfera i klimat

Bardzo dobre jedzenie, super atmosfera. Troszeczke zbyt ciasno.

Proper size portion and good food

Mi esposa es de zakopane y fue una sorpresa maravillosa para ella. Viajamos desde Essex en transporte público y debemos decir que valió la pena el viaje de 2 horas. Comida regional muy auténtica, música, decoración e incluso dialecto!

byliśmy dziś na obiedzie, baranina była fantastyczna, polędwica poprawna, szarlotka za dużaaaaaaa, pysznie było i do tego miło

bardzo dobre jedzeniem każdy znajdzie w menu coś dla siebie, porcje są przeogromne, miła obsługa, swojka restauracyjka dla każdego .... baranina przepyszna ....

Bardzo dobre jedzenie i przemiły klimat w stylu góralskim... Polecam.

Super atmosfera pięknie miło i przyjemnie, jedzenie smaczne porcje duże żona była zachwycona, 4 letni syn zjadł 2 kotlety z piersi byłem w szoku. Polecam!!!

Bardzo uroczy klimat i fajna muzyka. Kotlet zboja naprawde smaczny z oscypkiem i pyszna kapusta na salatke. Serdecznie polecam, napewno wrocimy !

Great food, good prices, quick servis, Czech and Polish beer. This place is small, but very cozy. We will definitely come back and love it.

Restaurante local muy bonita polski. La comida es deliciosa y porciones enormes. La cerveza es barato. El servicio es amable. No hay nada que no te guste. Tuve sopa de pollo para entradas que era sencillo de una buena manera. No saladas o condimentadas. Sólo sabor pollo. Mi compañero tenía costillas sopa sauerkraut y ahumado, que era divino. Me tiene frito patata tortita con gulash y era tan sabrosa. Sin duda recomendable. Mi pareja que era codillo de cerdo, y verdaderamente delicioso enorme. No hay espacio para los postres. 35 libras de comida y bebidas - ganga. Volveremos.

Delicious food and big portions! I really liked Polish chicken soup. The stuff is Polish and very friendly :)

Then food is amazing, wonderful, really delicious but the waiter is not too friendly. No contact, no communication...no offer, no recommendation and no SMILE at all.

Recomiendo este pequeño lugar para degustar comida tradicional polaca y la bebida. Yo estaba allí a la hora del almuerzo, pero estoy seguro de que es un buen lugar para una cena. Hay un extenso menú, ya que no estaba seguro de que todo era la camarera nos recomendó el buñuelo de queso cottage. Vinieron con un puñado de cebollas fritas y tocino. El tamaño de la porción era perfecta y eran muy sabrosos. La decoración es muy acogedora y rústica, se siente auténtico sin ser pretencioso.

Fantástico restaurante, que sirve frita oscypek (queso de cabra) que puede ser difícil de encontrar en otros restaurantes polacos.

Ambiente original, cálida bienvenida, enormes porciones de comida increíble! I m tan feliz que mi amigo polaco me trajo a este lugar, se convirtió en uno de mis favoritos

Very nice friendly atmosphere!The owner(I think he is an owner:)is the nicest person ever)Food great!Good portion!My favourite polish restaurant in London!

Niestety nie mam dobrych opini na temat tej restauracji! Zamowilam z mezem golonke i schabowego - 80% golonki tluszcz reszta zylaste mieso, kotlet tak twardy ze nie dalo sie go przekroic!! Urocza pani kelnerka nie byla zainteresowana ze prawie nic nie zjedlismy. Szkoda bo polskie jedzenie i goscinnosc jaka znam nie ma nic wspolnego z tym miejscem!

Zachęcam do odwiedzenia tego miejsca wszystkich Polaków i nie tylko.Kuchnia wyśmienita.Klimat zakopiański.. Bardzo mila właścicielka.Możliwość zamówienia kateringu...

Hi this was one of the worst experience I ever have i order my food on the phone to get delivery to my house and the order get owner the restaurant staszek wchich he lost my order by accident and we get food ready in more than 2 hours after another call to the zakopane and he didn't even apologized for a boss of the restaurant this is a joke and this guy was just unfair and rude he is a persnon without any knowledge to lead any branch of restaurants he is more than zero

I have never been in Polish restaurant in UK before but, food was incredibly good.My best friend ordered dish with beef ( crispy potato cake with goulash) and I had simple chicken brest with chips.Both we very tasty and well prepared. Drinks and cocktails were also awesome - I loved sweet and colourful Ciapanie na sianie ;) Another drink - good for a taste before a meal - Wscikniety Janicek ;) Desserts ? Oh... my theirs apple cake is just sooo yummy ;) Great staff who knows how to care about the customers, will help you to choose food and give perfect recommendations ;) You will struggle to move,as portions are proper size, make sure you are very hungry ;)Will definitely visit again.

This is by far the best Polish restaurant in North London. Staszek the owner and his staff are very friendly, they will make sure to make your experience special. They even make you a special dish which is not on the menu, a great fact for a vegetarian. Make sure you reserve a table, especially for dinner at the weekend. Highly recommended!

We moved in just down the road and have visited 3 times in two weeks because we loved it that much. It is genuinely delicious food, with a range of authentic polish dishes (would recommended the goulash) and polish beers. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, thoroughly recommended!

I visited the Folk House last week for a Polish friend's birthday - I had never eaten Polish cuisine before and was told this was a 'highlander' speciality restaurant (A mountainous area of Poland near the Czech border, I believe)The whole restaurant is tiny, with log cabin style decor and tradition Polish clothing on the walls as a feature. The staff are lovely and friendly and very good at recommending dishes to a first time diner!I found the food to be simple and filling, but excellently prepared and flavoursome. I went for chicken and sheep's cheese, chicken noodle soup, mixed dumplings and cabbage. All very good and reasonably priced! You won't leave there hungry....

A truly authentic Polish experience! I love the Tatra mountains of southern Poland and the unique and beautiful culture of the Polish highlands is encapsulated in this small but wonderful little restaurant.The decor and music is traditional highland which creates a warm and uniquely highland atmosphere - the staff even wear traditional costume! If you sit with your back to the windows so you can't see the red buses passing you can easily imagine yourself in the mountain resort of Zakopane.The menu is extensive and covers all the traditional Polish dishes from wonderful heart warming soups to delicious goulash, dumplings and meat dishes. Amongst the starters I would recommend the Oscypek a pan fried Goats Cheese with bacon - a traditional delicacy of the highland area, the taste of which transports me back to the mountains where the cheese is sold along the roadside. This is surely the best Oscypek I have tasted outside of Poland.Interestingly the menu also offers a good range of beers and vodkas - and some fantastic cocktails.What really makes Folkhouse Zakopane stand out from the rest of the Polish restaurants in London is the service. The staff appear to all be real Polish highlanders who are distinctive not only by their dialect, but their friendly nature and wonderful hospitality. We were welcomed like friends and made to feel like special guests.The menu is printed in both Polish and English and the staff of course are bilingual and eager to help anyone who hasn't tried Polish food. If you want to experience a little piece of Poland and try some truly excellent food I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant for the food, service and overall atmosphere and experience.The only negative is that the restaurant is small and tables are both limited and slightly squeezed in - however this only adds to the personable environment.I look forward to visiting again soon.
