Excellent lunch for three. Food was very good, the waiter was on top form and the experience was very enjoyable. The temperature in the room did fluctuate and was occasionally too warm but that’s a small niggle. Will go again.

Holiday season starting, very crowded and consequently noisy. Not so on previous visits. Food and service excellent, as usual, and prices very reasonable.

This was a very intimate dining experience, the indoor atmosphere was lovely with a candle lit table, high ceilings and low lighting, the welcome into the restaurant was also pleasant. All the food tasted amazing and my Polish boyfriend felt it was very authentic and well-prepared. Would go again but reserved for special occasions!!

I had an excellent experience at Ognisko, dining with a mate! I had no prior experience of Polish cuisine and now my expectations have been set so high following the dinner last night - I can't wait to return to Ognisko with more of my friends and partners!
