Anna's Polish Restaurant

Anna's is the type of restaurant that serves such delicious food, you can overlook pretty much everything else! I don't say that lightly but I was so thoroughly pleased by the meal! On arrival, we did have to wait. But that's on us for not making reservations. Definitely call ahead if you plan to dine during peak. But our party of five was seated at what was really a table sized for four. It was a bit of a squeeze and somewhat awkward but we managed. Additionally, the service was a bit slow due to understaffing. The restaurant was packed and I saw two servers holding it down all night. We were seated at 7:30 and didn't get a check until 10pm. That said, the server was very friendly and as attentive as he could be given the circumstances. The long wait was ultimately worth it. We started the table with some potato pancakes which were divine. They came served with sour cream and applesauce and the applesauce was such a hit! It was packed with cinnamon and warm spice. I loved it so much I took a side home for dessert. The main meal was varied around the table but consisted of some variety. Everyone had pierogies which were excellent! So fluffy and flavorful. They were a part of the polish platter that I had ordered and likely my favorite part of the dish. But it was a close call. The platter also included kielbasa and stuffed cabbage. I nearly cleaned the plate! This was definitely a hardy, stick to the ribs type of meal. So come hungry! I'd definitely return but would try to avoid another weekend. It was a long wait but I did enjoy the experience greatly! I highly recommend!

My daughter loves this restaurant. It was her pick for an early birthday celebration. The interior is quaint with pleasant lighting and soft music playing. Our server was very friendly and made us feel welcome. The homemade, from scratch quality of the food is evident. No shortcuts are taken to deliver savory, delicious dishes. The sausage served with the Polish Trio is superb. The homemade applesauce combined with the sour cream on the potato pancakes really takes it up a notch. I had the Polish Cabbage Noodles (Wazanki) as a side. Next time I would order it as an entrée because it was heavenly. I love supporting small, family-owned businesses and this one is very deserving of devoted patronage.

Wow, this quickly became one of my favorite comfort meals that I ordered multiple times while on maternity leave. I haven't been to Anna's Polish Restaurant since my college days and just recently got re-acquainted with it now that they are on UberEats. I forgot how much I loved it!This is the definition of a tiny, quaint mom & pop restaurant. You can tell so much love goes into the food and if you've never tried Polish cuisine, let this be your first experience! My favorite dish is the Polish Trio which comes with two pierogies, two potato pancakes, and polish sausage. It gives you a little taste of everything. I get the potato & cheese pierogies which always hit the spot. You can't forget to get a side of their homemade applesauce. It's the best applesauce I've ever had. I know it sounds random, but trust me -- it's amazing! I also really enjoyed their traditional pickle soup.My husband loves the Polish Platter which includes three pierogies, a stuffed cabbage served with your choice of tomato or mushroom sauce, grilled kielbasa, and sauerkraut. Be sure to add this family-owned gem to your list!

My brother introduced my family and me to this Polish restaurant he's been visiting since his college days. As a big fan of European cuisine, I was excited, but unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to my expectations.The stuffed cabbage was disappointing. It lacked flavor, and the ratios were off--there was way too much meat compared to rice or cabbage, making it feel like a giant sausage wrapped in a single cabbage leaf. The goulash had a similar issue; it was bland, and I had to add salt, which I rarely do. That said, the beef was very tender, and the sauce had a perfect consistency.On the bright side, the potato pancakes, kielbasa, and pierogies were excellent! I highly recommend them, especially the potato and cheese pierogies. The flavors in those dishes were spot-on and the highlight of the meal.The prices are on the higher side, but given that it's specialty cuisine, I get it. The portion sizes were generous, and overall, the quality was good, though some dishes could use more seasoning and refinement.Service and ambiance were great! Our server was friendly and in good spirits. Despite the restaurant being a bit hidden, it was packed, which was nice to see. The European-style decor added to the charm.Overall, I'd say it's worth checking out for the potato pancakes, kielbasa, and pierogies, but some of the other dishes could use more attention.

It's easy to drive by and not notice this gem of a family-owned restaurant in Winter Park. My husband spotted it and we decided to give it a try. So glad we did! When we walked in, we were immediately greeted by Joanna and she was also our server. The recipes on the menu are her mom's/family recipes, so her recommendations were even more helpful as she explained the menu to us. We opted for the sampler-style appetizer to get a taste of several things on the menu. The potato pancakes were dense and tasty with the sour cream and cinnamon spreads on the side. The cinnamon "jam" was very cinnamon-y. I loved it, but just a heads up. Kielbasa was cooked perfectly. Soft and juicy inside, a little crusty shell but not hard. Pierogis were the star to me. Light dumplings filled with pork in one and sauerkraut in the other - I need a plate of these for my last meal. We decided to share the entrees and glad we did! Gypsy Potato Pancake was Joanna's top suggestion and she wasn't wrong. Pancakes stacked with goulash (yes please!) very hearty dish, come hungry or with my husband who helped me finish it. The Silesian Dumplings with Meat Pyzy are round potato dumplings stuffed with ground pork meat served with your choice of bacon pieces or homemade mushroom sauce and one side order. My husband selected the mushroom sauce which was light and flavorful (I tasted a hint of white wine) and side of fingerling dumplings, which were light tasting similar to pierogis but no filling. The ambiance feels inviting and cozy, like we're in Anna's kitchen. Artwork and artifacts from Poland around the restaurant add to the cultural feel as you eat some of the best Polish food I've ever had!

We have found a true and authentic Polish restaurant. Operated by people that do things from scratch. You will not find a place like this anywhere around this state. The staff were absolutely awesome. Very helpful with your selection, they will answer all the questions that you possibly have about their food. Well, I went here with a good friend, a polish lady. She has asked me for a while to find a Polish restaurant and this is the one I found and chose to take her to. i've read a lot of the reviews and came to conclusion that this is the one. The food is all made from scratch. The food is all family recipes. And all I can say is very very good. We traveled over an hour just for this restaurant and it was so well worth the trip. The place is extremely clean. Beautiful selection of food. And plenty of parking. You must go an enjoy authentic Polish food from the best.

Came here as a last minute dinner decision and wow. Had no idea we had such a stellar polish restaurant this area of town! The inside offers a rather quaint atmosphere, with friendly staff to assist you in navigating the menu options for those unfamiliar.We did a sample to try a bit of everything - and everything was fantastic! I especially enjoyed the pickled soup. You can tell that the kitchen team cooks with heart and really seems to enjoy what they do. If you're remotely interested in this cuisine style Anna's is a must.

Holy guacamole. We went here about a month or two ago when looking for food options. Decided to try and find a mom and pop place vs a chain. This play was absolutely wonderful and a must visit.We ordered a variety of food, but we definitely loved the pierogies the most. They were well made and just full of flavor. Staff was incredibly kind and we were the only ones there at the time.Decor is quaint and simple. They let the food do the talking, and you should absolutely make this a cornerstone of your food outings in Orlando.

I am not a polish food expert but this place seemed quite authentic and family owned. The restaurant has clearly been in business for a long time. The inside felt very traditional. We tried a little bit of everything from the mushroom soup which was filled with chopped mushrooms in an excellent cream sauce, to the potatoes pancakes which came with homemade apple sauce, the beef goulash, and a mixed selection of Pierogis. The beef pierogi was my favorite, but they were all honestly tasty and worth trying. I think the owner served us and he was very attentive and friendly.

A cute restaurant with phenomenal food that works for a casual date night or a special family dinner. Anna's was so good it made my non-pierogi eating partner want to frequent this restaurant often just for their pierogis. Just be mindful that the restaurant closes at 9:30pm, not 10pm as stated online. Very nice experience overall.
