I don't have a Polish grandmother, but I still agree with the previous poster but one. If I had a Polish grandma, she would make and serve food like Sava. Too bad Tania's is gone but you still have Europa (if you want to cook yourself) or Sava (if you don't). Polish food rocks in winter.

I bought some stuffed cabbage last week and it was very good. The owner told me how much work it was to make the stuffed cabbage. Stuffed cabbage and guilt - just like grandmama.

Just had to give these guys a shout. Their food is delicious and basically a meal like my polish grandmother would make for about 10$.
The owner is super nice too

Yeah, she is very nice - but she had laryngitis the last time was I in there -- and that was a little off putting for her being the chef. I also always had the hardest time getting her to heat up a dozen pierogies - this was true here and at her old location - and yes even then never fresh boiled just zapped! I also once got a bone in a soup she swore was vegetarian. I wish her well - she is very nice.

I think they nuke the food after they cook it, or nuke it from the get go.

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.

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.

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: ![Click to see original Image in a new window](javascript:CaricaFoto("http://herb.um.warszawa.pl/herb.gif"); "Click to see original Image in a new window")

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!

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.
