Finest Polish Beer, Vodka and Liqueurs

We can’t all be jumping on cheap flights EVER|Y weekend to hit Warszawa, Kraków, Wrocław, Gdańsk and the many other delightful destinations Poland has to offer; the climate would be even MORE damaged! That’s why we offer a tasty tour through our accessible catalogue of Polish libations, right here in the heart of London. Come see us this week in Southbank Waterloo. (And fly to Poland next week!)

The Set Menu for Two

We know decisions are hard these days. And Mama won’t have any fighting at the table! So try our tasting menu for two, with portions sized and sliced perfectly to share. Don’t worry, we’ll give you take-away boxes if you can’t finish!

The world-famous Pierogi, hand-made, right here in London.

No single dumpling has ever been responsible for typifying an entire cuisine like the pierogi. These half-moon shaped stuffed dumplings are made by hand, stuff with our own fillings, flash-frozen for freshness and boiled to order. Absolutely heaven, with love, from Mama.

The Krupnik Dessert board

Vodka Boarding is like waterboarding, but without all the rope. And a whole lot more flavour and fun. We have a half-dozen different groupings on the menu, but our favourite JUST after dinner is the Krupnik Dessert Board. Perfect with a piece of Kremówka cake.

Private Hire on The Platform

Not everyone has a crowd big enough to hire fill the Old Arch dining hall. That’s why we offer our open-air mezzanine space, The Platform, for birthdays, corporate presentations, receptions, team building or just a good old ‘knees up’! Private dining or standing buffets are available at very reasonable prices. Get in touch here for a bespoke quotation and proposal.

This is not a place for a quiet meal but ideal for group dining. The servers are helpful and very patient. The food is above average but I don't know how authentic Polish it is. I liked the apple mint juice. Nobody in our group drank the beer but I'd like to try that in the future. The location is close to Waterloo station.

Honestly, the food and the service were wonderful. The pierogi sharing platter was more than enough for everyone (3 people) and the waitresses were so friendly! Lovely place, worth a visit

**Review for Mamuska Polish Restaurant**I recently visited Mamuska for the second time, hoping to have a better experience than my first. Unfortunately, I was left feeling a bit disappointed again.Starting with the food, I ordered the potato cakes, which were surprisingly tasteless. I expected a burst of flavor, especially given how beloved this dish is in Polish cuisine, but they fell flat. The only redeeming part of the meal was the salad, which was quite tasty and fresh. However, it wasn’t enough to save the overall dining experience.Another downside was the portion sizes. For the price tag, I expected a more generous serving, but what I received was rather small. It felt like I was paying a premium for a meal that didn't quite satisfy my hunger.On a positive note, the wait staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive. Their warm service was a highlight of my visit, and it’s clear they genuinely care about their customers.Overall, while the friendly atmosphere and tasty salad were nice, the lackluster potato cakes and underwhelming portion sizes left me uncertain about returning. I appreciate the charm of Mamuska, but I might consider exploring other options for my next meal. My another visit I recently revisited Mamuśka restaurant and had a mixed experience. The soup and salad bar were both excellent—fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. However, the chicken breast dish was a letdown. The meat was not tender, and the breading was poorly executed—over-fried and lacking the finesse you’d expect for the price and the overall quality of this establishment.As a chef, I know the importance of tender, well-prepared meat, and I feel the chicken recipe could be improved to reflect the care and quality seen in the other dishes. The staff, on the other hand, were exceptional—friendly, attentive, and well-trained. The ambience was lovely and contributed to an overall positive dining experience, but there’s room for improvement on the food front to ensure every dish meets the high standards they aim for.

My first time here and eating Polish food and it was very nice! Quirky and interesting place with loads of choice on the menu, the pierogi were really nice and so was the smoked cheese.I've read reviews about the service, it wasn't slow for us until we wanted to get the bill(!) and all the staff were friendly. We did have to ask for water twice and never received it but everything else was correct. The only thing was that we ordered starters and mains but all the dishes got served at once, so it was a bit of a food overload but still tasty. May have ordered differently if we knew that was going to happen. I'm not sure if this is normal or just what happened on the day. It doesn't put me off returning though.

Oh my God! I’m so glad we’ve got a cool place that offers great Polish food in an accessible way but for the love of god, each time I’m there, I’m so embarrassed because the service is so slow! It makes me NOT want to invite my guests here and share the Polish cuisine with them which is sad… we waited for so long to be served, then to get drinks, one drink was missing for ages and we needed to follow up twice to get it. After all this, you still ask for a service charge and take a while to remove it. This is not great. I haven’t been here in a while and came back today - now I remember why it took so long to come back - because each time the service is just not good!

Brilliant feed, great value on the mama set meal, left with a full belly. Made me proud to be polish. Staff were great too. Just like mama used to make.

A decent restaurant in Waterloo. The portion sizes are generous but the food was quite average. There is a salad bar, which is included with main meals, and was nice. The pierogi were tasty but the vegan option for mains was not great. I wouldn’t recommend it (and the mash potato wasn’t particularly good either). Friendly servers and interesting venue.
