Homestyle Polish Cooking — Clifton & Garfield, NJ
Craving pierogies like the ones your mom used to make — or looking for a banquet room for a birthday or family celebration? That is what Smakosz is for: Chef Joanna’s Polish-American kitchen in two North Jersey locations. Polish Deli Smakosz in Clifton serves lunch, dinner, and ready-made dishes to go, while Taste of Smakosz Restaurant in Garfield — a restaurant with a banquet hall at the Wisła Club — is the place for a proper Polish dinner and private celebrations.
The menu covers the Polish classics: pierogies with potato and cheese, meat, or sauerkraut and mushroom, stuffed cabbage, bigos hunter’s stew, żurek sour rye soup, potato pancakes, and homemade cheesecake and poppy seed cake for dessert. The restaurant hosts private events with packages that include appetizers, hot dishes, soup, coffee, and cake, and the deli delivers catering — from cold cut and cheese platters to pierogies by the dozen and homemade desserts.
Why Smakosz:
- Chef Joanna’s kitchen — Polish recipes and homestyle flavor, from pierogies and stuffed cabbage to żurek and bigos.
- Two locations — the Clifton deli for everyday meals, the Garfield restaurant with a banquet hall for bigger occasions.
- Events from start to finish — birthdays, baby showers, bridal showers, Sweet 16s, graduations, wakes; packages from appetizers through dessert.
- Catering on order — hot dishes, deli platters, pierogies, and desserts for family and company gatherings.
