    Me and my husband went there for one of our first diners out in Sydney (we moved from Europe). I was born in Poland so I was eager to taste some traditional food and they delivered on it! Great both in taste and quantity, as waiter said "Polish portions!".

    We ended up with a cold platter which was a new addition. It turned out quite different to how we had imagined it. Next time we'll stick to what's in the usual menu rather than what's on special.

    We ordered pierogi and soup (żurek). It was tasty, however overall very overpriced for what it is.

    this place has amazing homemade cakes and a mixture of homemade alcohol potions...hence the name Alchemy.

    Ordered the Golubsi and Pierogi. They were made well and really hit the spot. It was nice that they allow you to mix the Pierogi with different fillings: potato and cheese, beef, and sauerkraut. However, I only enjoyed the potato and cheese pierogi. The others I should've skipped. Each main cost <$30 which I think is more on the expensive side for what it is. I think the pierogis were about $25 for 9 which is a bit crazy. Setting was nice and romantic with a fake candle and a fresh red rose on each table.

    Superb food and service. Went on recommendation of a work colleague - we will be back many times. The schnitzel with pear and Gorgonzola is to die for.

    Great food, all freshly made with quality ingredients. Recommend trying the traditional pierogi ruskie (ie with potato and cheese filling), boiled or fried, and finish the meal with a piece of their homemade poppyseed cake. Delicious!

    Awesome Polish restaurant, great flavours and the host is really entertaining and on the ball with service. 10/10. Everytime I'm there either dining on my own or with family and friends everyone is very impressive with the food.
