FLA European Grocery - Sarasota

Delicious, authentic ethnic Hungarian cuisine, prepared like home cooking. I started with borscht and pierogies, Yes, they're not Hungarian, but I like them. I was assured by my Polish friend that they were equally authentic, as they were tasty. RrHe opted for a kettle of gulyás. My entre was stuffed cabbage, his was Wiener schnitzel both deliciously prepared. The overall experience was a no frills, but satisfying Eastern European dining experience, enjoyable even to those inexperienced with the cuisine.

I went to this restaurant excited to try their pastries and baked goods, but they were out of cakes, danishes, and cookies. The meat in the display case looked old and dry, and uncovered. The place was not clean. I ended up buying hot food dinners, which turned out to be unique and delicious. However, the dining room was dark and empty, which made for a less inviting experience overall. I really wanted to love this place, but unfortunately, I was left disappointed.

Beef Stew is so tasty and hearty- also the Hungarian Goulash flavors are rich- try the desserts too!

This place has the best Pierogi I have had outside of two trips my wife and I took to Krakow. Having lived a few blocks away for most of my life I can't believe I didn't know about them until coming back and trying to find something that isn't Mrs. T's. Seriously, if you have only ever had frozen pierogi, you should try some of theirs here. I know they are known for their sandwiches supposedly, but you won't regret trying their meat or sauerkraut versions. They also have some home baked items that vary from visit to visit worth checking out.

I was really looking forward to this place . Being raised polish I always look forward to trying out European restaurants in the area. Service was painfully slow . Strange especially when there's only 6 customers in the dining room. Everything was microwaved . I had the Borscht. It was edible I've had better let's put it that way, even the color was strange. Looks absolutely nothing like the one in the other yelper's picture I saw . My husband had the goulash he liked it. They give you a basket of home made bread that's pretty good, mind you they give it to you refrigerator cold with no butter . They also don't tell you they charge you for the bread till you get the bill we didn't even ask for the bread in the first place. The meat pierogis were the only thing that were decent, the mushroom one was super doughy like it was undercooked . Sorry not likely to come back or recommend.
