That's a real bummer... we would eat there every couple of mos, but admittedly we'd frequently forget it's there. As much as we love Polish food, it's not something we'd make be a weekly meal (or we wouldn't fit through the door).
Hopefully it's replaced with something other than a pizza place or Asian restaurant.

really sad, but I agree that it's not surprising. Can't believe they never got themselves a real sign or proper storefront.

The place is uninviting. Even if it's clean inside, the are perception is that it's dirty. The business has been there for 2 years now and they still have a ghetto banner as their signage. Food is good but it's not a place I'm going to take my family or friends to eat.

Polish food just isn't as mainstream as Italian or Asian.

REALLY sad, but not surprising. As I've said before, I can't figure out how that place didn't succeed.

I've been living in JC for over a decade now and hadn't yet made it to Sava.
I went this past Friday and am so glad I did. I got the goulash, stuffed cabbage and periogies and everything was delicious and very affordable. Being of polish descent and having my grandmother cook for me, I can say that this food is every bit as good as I remember my grandmother's. I plan on making this place a regular in my take-out rotation.

> Yeah, it doesn't make sense that the place is never full
The Sava decor looks scruffy and uninviting, I think that sprucing the place up would help them get more business. Robin.

Incidentally, Sawa (the W is pronounced like a V) is a mythical syren that sang to a young fisherman named Wars along the Wisła river in Poland. The two got together and you got Warszawa (Warsaw.)
The syren is on the coat of arms of Warsaw:

Yeah, it doesn't make sense that the place is never full, when similar old school types of places like 2nd Street Bakery have lines out the door. It especially doesn't make sense to me since the 2nd Street Bakery is much more out of the way than Sava.

I'll never understand why there is never a line in this place when I go in. The food is amazing, you can't beat the prices and the owner makes you feel like you are part of her family.
Just showing this place some love today (BTW, Wednesday is blintz day at Sava Polish Restaurant -- having some right now - YUM - and will have some of her wonderful chicken soup for dinner).

Yaga's (the owner's) chicken meatballs are crazy good. If you haven't already tried them, have some with rice or kasha and vegetables and you will be hooked (all for a very reasonable price too)! She is the Polish grandmother I never had!

My wife and I ate here the other night. It was great food and the folks were very friendly. I look forward to our next meal at Sava.

What time/days are they open. I've planned to eat there twice and have found it closed. Its possible I went there the same days. I've been craving homestyle pierogies for days.

So f'ing good. Please people, if you appreciate good homestyle food, go there. If the place ever folded, I'd be devastated.

Thanks for bumping this up, JC123. It is a good reminder, and getting to be that time of year for comfort food. Think I will stop by tonight.

Have recently been trying Sava on Grove Street and I am consistently blown away at how terrific and affordable her food is...pierogies, chicken meatballs, stuffed cabbage, chicken stuffed with spinach, potato pancakes, cheese blintzes, I could go on and on. I recently had a small get together and ordered apple blintzes from Sava to serve as dessert. People went crazy over them and there was not one left at the end of the meal! If you have not tried Sava, I highly recommend it (and it seems a lot of other people on this thread feel the same way). We need to support good restaurants like this one in JC!!!!Quote:

Now I have to try the cold borscht too. Geez... 500 stuffed cabbages? I knew she made a bunch for the festival in JC today, but wow... that IS a lot! Maybe throngs of folks will show up to the event and she'll sell out? I sure hope so -- someone so sweet and hardworking deserves to make a pretty penny. What I'm digging is that I often crave Sava-style home cooking on a Sunday -- the one day of the week her place is closed. So I'm stoked that I can head down to the celebration to get my fix. I wonder if any other food vendors will be there? Like the folks from Europa? I'm ready to indulge!

When I was at Savas today - the owner in passing mentioned that Tanya (from Tanya's restaurant) was in town for the festival this weekend. I asked her if she knew how to make Tanya's cold borscht. She said she did and happily takes requests from customers who come in for specific off menu things.
** also she will be at the polish festival on Sunday with tons of food she's been making all this week nonstop. She mentioned something about 500 stuffed cabbages.. wow.
