This IS great news! Comfort food of my heritage! Do they have hot borscht?

Just before Tanya's closed I got the new owner to do a table at the Hamilton Park Festival. It seemed pretty successful, I wonder if the owner of Savas can be convinced? It's been a real struggle to get our small local ethnic restaurants to come, you'd think they'd love to get the exposure.

Did Eleanor mean kishkes?


Nyet. Kasha Varnishkes is, simply, kasha with bowtie pasta. Not a fan of the kishkes. I was as a child but then all bets were off once I found out what it was.

I went to Sava's today. I ordered the combo platter as mentioned above. It was awesome. She's still feeling out the neighborhood so she's just cooking the basics and in limited amounts. Very sweet woman. I told her that I came in because of a post on the board and she was happily surprised. I left with a quart of the Ukrainian borscht.

I will definitely be a regular customer.

They've got the kasha, not sure about the varnishkes

If so, kishkes (kiszka) would be an animal gut stuffed with kasha, fat and blood, and cooked.

Best comfort food ever...

Stopped by tonight. Delicious and very filling. I think she's just getting going and still trying to get organized, but I think it's a great addition to the neighborhood. Gosh, what a change from Soul Flavors just down the block - twice the food for (less than?) half the price.

Does she have a menu or price list posted? She used to pick a price out of the air.

Yes, there was a little menu of prices both outside the door and on the wall inside. Most of the food ran about $5-7, if I remember right.

I had a big combination platter - kraut, kielbasa, stuffed cabbage and 3 pirogies for $7.50. (That was the most expensive thing on the menu, I think. Livin' large.)

They also had a cooler with some foods packed to go. I.e., you could stop in and pick up a little container of stuffed cabbage and then have an easy-to-reheat dinner when you get home.

There were also daily specials. Today was potato dumplings. And it looked like they kept refilling the trays with different foods. I really wanted to try everything. Eventually.

I really like potato and onion pierogis and wasn"t really happy with Sava's old place -- they were oily and microwaved rather than fresh boiled -- I really hope they do a better job now that they are downtown -- I hope they also carry more vegetarian kinds of pierogis -- mushroom, spinach, sweet potato, etc -- I also hope they have a few vegetarian soups -- I called their old number and wanted to order some take out but it just rings...

I went there on Thursday and loved the homemade food. Better than Tania's was on any day.

This deserves a post of it's own. Sava's - Polish Cafeteria has opened in what was formerly Stanleys on Grove St.

346 Grove Street Jersey City, NJ 07302
201-451-1901

They have a variety of hearty, delicious, Polish home cooked food, in serving trays, hot and ready to eat. It's cafeteria style , so no waiter to tip. I just ate there and I recommend it.
