Today we decided to have dinner at Club Polonia in Cambridge and I can honestly recommend this place to anyone who appreciates Polish food! Even though there was a fun senior party going on, the hosts welcomed us very warmly and made us feel welcome right away. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was unique. I definitely recommend it!

It was a fantastic discovery! We were looking for a place just to have dinner on Friday evening but have found an amazing place we all sure we will come back to! Delicious traditional food - feels like homemade. Great pierogies, plackies, schnitzel and stew! Buckwheat!! Borscht!!! Atmosphere like you are visiting your grandma - cozy and warm. Definitely worth visiting 👏 Then you will have no chance not to come back :)

The menu is refined in every detail, and the dishes are real works of culinary art. Each bite is an explosion of flavors, and the attention to the highest quality of ingredients is visible in every dish. I will definitely come back!

Soup is just like a water, nothing special, small three bits of sausage and half egg. Schnitzel as well, lots of cheese and fat- nothing special. Its our second order but I think that its last order in this restaurant.

The ladies were super nice, but that's probably where the positives end. The rye soup arrived after 30 minutes, the taste was ok, nothing special. The content of the soup is very poor - one thin slice of ordinary, cheap sausage per serving, a lot of dried mushrooms that did not soak and were inedible. Later, potato pancakes with "beef goulash" - the cheapest beef, dry as wood shavings, sauce with no taste, a tragedy. The raw materials are also very poor - either bought or badly seasoned. We waited an hour for the second course. The restaurant has a good reputation, there were a lot of guests, I really don't know why. I was just passing through, there's definitely no reason to come back. And the card is very poor, there is practically nothing there. I'm a mechanic and I make better dishes in my spare time. I'm sorry to give such an opinion, but if I had known what I would get for £60 (soup 2x main course and 2x bottled beer are not included), I would have bought a meal at the station. And the potato pancakes were very good, a bit too thick, but it's a matter of who prefers what.

Review for Polonia Club, Cambridge I recently had the pleasure of hosting two important family events at Polonia Club in Cambridge: my daughter’s First Communion and Christening on two consecutive days. I am thrilled to share my wonderful experience. From the very start, I was impressed by the excellent communication with the owner, and his team. They were incredibly accommodating, allowing us to personalize the menu to suit our preferences. This flexibility was greatly appreciated and set a positive tone for the events. The food was outstanding, arriving quickly, with generous portion sizes and impeccable presentation. The dishes captured the essence of Polish cuisine, reminding me fondly of my hometown. Each dish was a blend of flavors that all our guests thoroughly enjoyed. The atmosphere at Polonia Club was warm and welcoming, making everyone feel at home. The staff were friendly, attentive, and efficient, ensuring that both events ran smoothly. Their professionalism and kindness significantly contributed to the success of our celebrations. I highly recommend Polonia Club for its fair prices, inviting ambiance, and exceptional staff. Whether you’re hosting a special event or simply looking to enjoy authentic Polish food, Polonia Club is the perfect choice. Thank you, for making our family celebrations memorable!

Lovely food,maybe a little pricey. Atmosphere could improve a little to make it more inclusive. Vegetarian options are limited. My partner commented 'carrot salad' should not have the word 'salad' in description as its literally carrot shavings, which is not an actual salad (suggestion: 'side of carrot' description). Thanks for having us. We will return to try more dishes.

I've traveled extensively throughout Eastern Europe, including Poland, Moldova, and Ukraine, among other places. I've consistently been delighted with this restaurant, whether ordering through Deliveroo during the COVID-19 pandemic (although it appears the restaurant no longer utilizes this platform) or by dining in person. Whether you hail from Eastern Europe or simply have an appreciation for Eastern European cuisine, this establishment is a must-visit. I highly recommend it and would like to extend my gratitude to the waiters and waitresses for their warm hospitality.

We visited on a Friday night around 6 pm, and it was very quiet, but most tables were reserved. £10 each deposit to book a table, which was fine. We had the dumplings for our main, and they were yummy. Wine reasonably priced, unlike other places in the area. I ordered a starter for my pudding as I was still hungry. The pate was good (I'm used to salad with pate and this dish was served with pickles. It was a nice change) very full after. Would love to return and try a new dish.

Pros It was a good experience to visit the Polonia club to have traditional Polish food with our friends. We had lots of main courses. First of all, it was cabbage rolls it was very delicious thin we had mashed potato with fried chicken and cheese with cranberry sauce it was tasty. The ingredients were fresh and the atmosphere was wonderful. Cons We didn’t like the fish (herring) and the space was a little cramped. Overall opinion We like this experience and we plan to go again.

This place has the best coffee in town and is family run. It’s always had a beautiful cosy feel & I’ve been coming here ever since we moved to Cambridge, and I was disappointed when were asked to leave for occupying a table for too long. Considering the long-standing relationship we’ve had with this establishment, a simple hint or courtesy would have sufficed (a little joke midway as a hint). A small gesture would have gone a long way, yet that was not offered, which I found verydisheartening.
