Kuchnia in Hamburg

We were in Hamburg with a friend over the weekend and stumbled upon Kuchnia online by chance. Even the phone reservation, including directions, was very helpful. We had the pierogi from the daily menu, one with porcini mushrooms and the other with goose. Borscht beforehand. Everything was absolutely delicious. A very unusual selection of drinks with homemade dried fruits and syrups. My friend loved the "Sea Buckthorn Crack" 🤩. I had a delicious Georgian red wine recommended. Overall, the service was incredibly warm, personal, and helpful. It was a fantastic evening! Couldn't you open something in Düsseldorf?!!!! Best wishes from Jenny and Regine

Super tasty food at a fair price. Highly recommended.

Good and authentic - pierogi and solianka were top! ❤️

Great, a mixed salad, fish with a side dish, a glass of wine 0.15 and a 3€ tip: 50€. The food was mostly delicious, only the fish was a bit too salty for my taste. The service was great. There was no wow experience and I wasn't full. Too bad!

We were there yesterday and thought it was great. Absolutely nice staff, authentic cuisine, mega delicious pierogi 😋. Gladly again.

We ordered 3 types of pierogis, they were good but the mass-internal content ratio was not balanced. The blinis with salmon were delicious, we ordered the dessert of the day, very very good. I also recommend the Georgian wine Kindzmarauli. A good experience, the service is close and relaxed, in my opinion you pay extra to be in the heart of Sant Pauli

I would love to eat at Kuchnia every day 😍

Very tasty food and great service!

A great shop, very tasty food, beautifully presented and a super nice team that takes perfect care of the guests.

Cozy and atmospheric restaurant.

Small but nice. Very tasty Polish specialties at fair prices. I'll definitely be back.

I've never eaten such bad Polish food. If you can even call it Polish. The pierogi with meat filling were a complete disaster! When it was cut through, the meat popped out of the dough on its own in the form of a ball of minced meat. If you have to eat the filling separately from the dough with a fork and knife (that's how hard the filling was!) then it's no longer a pierog for me! Totally tasteless and disappointing! The only thing that tasted good was the beetroot side dish. For 20€ you expect a lot more! I'm surprised by all the positive reviews. Apparently people have never had proper Polish food!!! A total flop for me!

Super cool, old butcher shop with original tiles on the wall. In the basement for private parties. Totally nice staff.

Terribly expensive. The cuisine is supposedly Polish, but I agree with previous comments that the dishes do not have "our" flavors. The food was generally very good, but different. I would never call this place a Polish restaurant, so please don't be disappointed.

Really incredibly comfortable and the food is delicious.

The food wasn't that tasty and it was kept warm in the microwave so that it could be served warm and there was far too little starter for the price. I felt ripped off. I think it's a disaster. It has nothing to do with Polish culture, it is It's a disgrace, I think it's completely overpriced and it doesn't taste fresh or good at all. Absolutely not recommended and it was also said that you have an hour to eat because it's supposedly reserved. Saying something like that to the customer is impolite in terms of time pressure to eat customer should feel comfortable and not rushed (Kuchnia)

Both the food and the warm hospitality cannot be beat. We were here for the first time, but definitely not the last.

It's a pity that I didn't decide to visit this restaurant earlier.. the food is great, cozy and the service is at a high level.. I highly recommend it and go there to eat something without hesitation.

Sat in the courtyard, was absolutely delicious, small menu but you'll find what you're looking for. Service could have been better

My favorite restaurant in hamburg. Always special, always delicious and really nice people who work there. You can have a carafe of vodka and that makes it even more fun.

Sent away on Sunday evening because friends come to the bar... Then that's it and guests leave...

Very cozy, friendly staff and delicious Bigos.

Small but nice restaurant. Space only possible with reservation. Fast service and very friendly. Very nice staff. Polish furnishings, as you would hope. Small selection of dishes and these are specifically Polish. Enjoy your meal. Amount sufficient. However, a bit too expensive. Still a recommendation.

What a cosy (and if needed ;-) romantic place. Very nice, friendly and helpful people. Delicious food. Nice to have the 'mix' option so you can taste the various typical polish dishes.

Decent food, nice service and great daily specials. Best pierogi in all of Hamburg!

An absolute gem. Perfection of flavor, atmosphere, and friendliness.

Everything was very good. The Blin salmon melted in your mouth, the pierogis incredible, but the best was the dessert with homemade Baumkuchen. Incredible.

I just like it. Yes, the prices aren't low, but if I'm craving Barszcz Ukrainski or homemade bratwurst, I have to go here. And the juicy, fresh yeast bread with caraway is my favorite welcome.

High quality food and service, small menu + daily menu

Loved it! All self-made, food is super good, service is on point, definitely recommend it!

Little, cozy place with lovely waitresses and waitors. The kitchen is like a grandma kitchen combined with modern inspiration… just perfection on a plate.

A wonderfully great dinner. Thank you for the good food and great service!

If you like excellent Polish cuisine in an authentic atmosphere, then you've come to the right place. We had a very nice evening here and haven't eaten so well for a long time.

Very cool cuisine! Vegetarian or with meat, everything is great. As cool as the fresh Urquell on tap!

Definitely go to Kuchnia. Super nice waitresses will bring you super delicious Polish food, which you can then enjoy in a super rustic restaurant. A vodka from the extensive selection available on site goes perfectly with this. My recommendation is the hemp vodka, but the people at the bar can also make great recommendations. And now let's go to Kuchnia, it's really great!

Went there again yesterday after far too long and was still thrilled. I can't understand the complaints about the prices. Delicious, fresh and homemade things cost money and here, too, energy and personnel costs have increased. Delicious food and drinks paired with very attentive staff which contributed greatly to a successful evening. Greetings to the entire staff and next time I'll ask for a needle and thread for crafts with lemons and orange slices.

Five of us had reserved a table and were looking forward to a great evening. A day later, another group increased their reservation, which meant that our reservation was suddenly no longer valid and we could have sat outside in the "best" weather in Hamburg. No thanks!

Very nice service and delicious/authentic food. Always worth a detour.

Always a pleasure!!🥹 Great daily specials, super nice service, never been disappointed! Absolutely recommended!

Very tasty food in a rustic environment. Thanks to the recommendation, tried the cold soup and it was delicious.

Can't say. Thru closed the kitchen early compared to other restaurants

We were there spontaneously and were lucky enough to find a spot spontaneously. The team and facility create a truly welcoming atmosphere. :) The menu features classics of Polish cuisine. The drinks menu is also very interesting with Polish and modern drinks (with and without alcohol). But we decided on the recommended daily specials. The food was absolutely amazing! Hearty, but not too heavy, very finely balanced and really well prepared! Just the thing after a long day in Hamburg and we will definitely come back again!

Food is very average and it’s very overpriced. 20 euro for pirogi with super thick dough and dry filling is a bit too much. Staff is friendly, atmosphere is fine.

It was okay. Price/performance not justified. Food tasty but not exceptional either. Unfortunately service is not good. You definitely pay for the good location here. Overall, clearly too expensive.

Surprisingly hard to find good Polish restaurants, despite the large Polish community, but Kuchnia is wonderful. Great food, great cocktails, lovely staff and service. Highly recommended.

Good traditional cuisine and friendly staff!

Cozy restaurant with excellent cuisine. Even vegan dishes are on offer.

This is a wonderful little restaurant. Traditional Polish cuisine is brought into the 21st century here. And you feel like you used to at Grandma's kitchen table. Food tastes very tasty...

The ambience and service were very nice. The food also tasted good, but unfortunately we were a bit disappointed… I specially ordered a vegetarian mix of pierogi. My girlfriend a mix of meat and vegetarian. Unfortunately our plates were swapped and I got a pieroge with meat. Since the contents couldn't really be identified anyway, we only noticed it at the end. For me it wasn't the end of the world but something like that definitely shouldn't happen... In addition, the prices were really high. I can't estimate how complex the preparation is but for almost 20€ I would have at least expected that I would get what I ordered, without meat.😬

The atmosphere is really nice and the service is good too. But the pierogis are way overpriced and taste very worldly.

Were in Kuchina for the first time and it won't be the last time. The service is very friendly and the food is really recommended. Both the starter and the main course were really tasty, take a look at the pictures.

Was there with Paul to take photos, nice people and also recommended.

Very nice service, fantastic location with a great ambience. Very good advice on drinks, cocktails and food and a great price/performance ratio. The daily menu was great and the food was generally very fine and visually beautiful. Okay for vegans, but fantastic for Polish cuisine. It's great that there is a Polish restaurant of this level here!

Amazing perogies and a stunning selection of vodkas (including homemade!). Haute Polish cuisine and very friendly staff complete a perfect meal!

Best man, the place rocks. Kind regards Lahl and Köppen

For a long time, Kuchnia was a restaurant for me that I could recommend without reservation. Unfortunately, it has diminished somewhat over the years. On my last visit with a group of 6 people we waited over 2 hours for food. The hunger was then so great that no one could enjoy the food anymore. The food is good. Just Polish cuisine. The prices for these have always been quite high at Kuchnia. The fact that the prices here are obviously constantly increasing makes the restaurant more and more unattractive for me.

My girlfriend and I decided to stop by here yesterday, before going to the theater. I had never had a pierogi before and was curious about it. We ordered the three types of pierogi with fried onions and brown butter and an asparagus pierogi with two types of asparagus. Plus a mixed salad. (Potato, beans, red cabbage and lettuce heart) We can really recommend everything. Here and there in the pierogies I think there was a bit of salt missing, so that's why I deducted a star. (Salt and pepper were of course at the table for seasoning) Overall, I would give it 4.5 stars and can recommend the restaurant with a clear conscience. Thanks to the extremely friendly host.

Excellent, exceptional food and very friendly service. We'd love to come back!

Super delicious food and great atmosphere. I had a starter and a dish from the daily menu and absolutely loved it. Really a recommendation!

Delicious real Polish cuisine. Very tasty and authentic, especially fresh and everything homemade. Despite the packed restaurant, very friendly and relaxed staff. Everything goes hand in hand. Cozy atmosphere. A bit cramped and a bit noisy due to the many guests. Unfortunately that evening there was only one toilet for men, women and divers... the other one in the basement was closed... but you don't come for the toilet ;-)

Good place to get to know homemade Polish cuisine in Hamburg. All with a modern twist.

Great food, great ambience - always again.

Everything is super tasty and authentic!! The staff is very friendly and competent.

Location super cool, food and cocktails very tasty. Still a bit too expensive.

Simple atmosphere in a former butcher shop, extremely tasty Polish dishes and very attentive, friendly and quick service! We'd love to go there again!

Great food/cocktails We recommend

Very nice restaurant with attention to detail that creates the right atmosphere. The pierogi from the daily menu were delicious and refined with lots of fresh ingredients. The staff was very friendly and gave us tips for exploring the city. Highly recommended.

Nice little restaurant. Great food and the cocktails were also great

Super delicious food in a special atmosphere. Totally nice people and totally relaxed. Top

Since I moved to Germany from Poland I’ve been looking for a good Polish restaurant and I think that might be the one. I just wish it was in my city. the staff was super friendly (and please don’t worry neither of you guys don’t speak Polish! 😂) the ambiance was also very cosy and pretty Polish. The food was great, pretty modern, did not taste like at Polish Grandma’s place but I absolutely didn’t mind it. Żurek was so so, not sour enough and it was missing this special kick, but pierogi and bigos were incredible, highly recommend trying them out. The place is pretty pricey but I think it was worth it.

Really great atmosphere! Cozy and cool furnished. If you feel like you're in your mother's room... the food was real fusion food! The service was so nice! Always happy, I think I'll try the whole menu soon. It would be smart to make a reservation in advance…

We enjoyed delicious starters and two delicate soups as well as a delicious dessert here.

No more Polish portions, completely overpriced🙄

Dinner was delicious, borsch and Pierogi were really worth the trip. Service with a smile, really well impressed

Von außen eher unscheinbar und wirklich mitten im Herzen von St. Pauli. Einrichtung eher einfach und sehr rustikal. Ganz anders sieht es in der Küche aus. Rustikal? JA aber einfach nur sehr sehr gut. Fleischliebhaner oder Vegetarier, hier wird jeder fündig. Das Team: Typisch bunte Truppe, aber super nett. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Wir sind selten in der Gegend aber wir kommen gerne wieder u d empfehlen das Kuchnia weiter.

Big compliments to the kitchen. Quality can then also have its price, so 👍🏻. The service was super attentive and really friendly. And because it's all about the food, the simple furnishings don't bother you. Maybe better cutlery😉

Unfortunately not as authentically Polish as I had hoped. None of the staff spoke Polish, and the location isn't the prettiest, but it's still charming. The food was delicious. Especially the starters. The pierogi were a bit dry and not "like mom's", but still tasty.

Exceptionally good food and very friendly service. We had venison bratwurst on herb mushrooms with mashed potatoes and hazelnut crunch. The hammer!

A great surprise! Polish food and delicious vodka in the right atmosphere.

The food is very good. Prepared with care and very tasty. The service is very friendly and provides tips where necessary to make a choice from the menu. We were a group of 4 and each had our own dish, each of which was very tasty. The price/quality of the dishes are good. Not cheap, but definitely worth the amount. The atmosphere of the restaurant fits well with St. Pauli, a bit alternative but atmospheric in its own way.

Very tasty dumplings and friendly staff! Definitely worth a visit! Don't miss out on the desert pancake with sorbet ice-cream!

Bellissima esperienza. I camerieri troppo simpatici e il cibo particolare. La vodka ottima

Authentisch schmeckende Pierogis und andere polnische Spezialitäten. Betreiber sind sehr herzlich. Gemütliches Restaurant in der Nähe von Kiez

Hippes Restaurant unweit der Reeperbahn

Tolle, ehrliche Küche! Wir kommen gerne bald wieder!

Eines meiner liebsten Restaurants in Hamburg. Hervorragende und besondere Gerichte (besonders auf der Tageskarte) und gemütliches, rustikales Ambiente.

Was soll ich sagen: ausgezeichnetes Essen, sehr schönes stimmiges Ambiente, super freundliches Serviceteam, was will man mehr. Ein echtes Juwel.

Einfach toll! Wir hatten nichts zu kritisieren. Die Servicekräfte waren sehr zuvorkommend, gut gelaunt und hilfreich. Das Ambiente wirklich schön, leuchtende Kerzen, schöne Dekoration, echte Blumen/Pflanzen auf den Tischen. Die hausgemachten Pierogi waren extrem lecker! So gut wie in Polen. Bier und Tee auch super! Vorweg ein Gruß aus der Küche, fanden wir sehr gut. Die Auswahl war ausreichend, auch für Vegetarier und Veganer viel zu finden. Eine etwas "eingeschränktere" Karte ist für mich immer ein gutes Zeichen. Wir waren extremst zufrieden und haben uns total wohl gefühlt, ich werde es auch meinen Freunden weiterempfehlen.

Wir hatten mit einer großen Gruppe einen wunderschönen Abend im Keller der Kuchnia. Das Essen war einfach toll und ehrlich. Das Personal so herzlich und bemüht, das erlebt man selten. Absolute Herzensempfehlung, weiter so 😍

Das Essen war großartig, der Service freundlich und sehr aufmerksam. Auch preislich stimmte alles. Anderen Gästen, die ohne Reservierung kamen und für die offenbar kein Tisch frei war, wurden sogar alternative Restaurants in der Nähe empfohlen. 👌🏻 Das Ambiente ist eher rustikal, aber dennoch gemütlich. Klare Empfehlung! Wir kommen definitiv wieder.

Super Essen und außergewöhnlich freundlicher Service!!!

Merveilleux endroit bien tenu. Service personnalisé très agréable ( serveuse/patronne tout sourire) . Cuisine copieuse et deliceuse. Produits frais. Bon choix de vins ( blancs).

Wir waren das erste Mal dort und sind begeistert! Leckeres Essen und sehr nette Bedienung! Gerne wieder!!!!

Wir sind schon satt geworden, aber wenn man die polnische Küche kennt, dann ist es doch ziemlich schlicht und einfach zu teuer im Vergleich zu dem was geboten wird.

Yes!! I loved the place. It’s not fancy, but has great Eastern European vibe. Feels like eating at my grandma’s place, and food is as great! We had buckwheat pancakes with caveats, sour vegetables, beetroot carpaccio and pirogi (dumplings). All dishes were great, but we liked pirogi with potatoes and cottage cheese the most (but in my opinion they were a bit too greasy). They also serve good beer and Georgian wine. So, if you’re looking for true Polish experience, don’t miss it out! P.S. compliments to the staff, super nice people are working here.

Дуже смачно! Я замовив борщ і пльоцки. Все було дуже смачно, ніжно і просто не перевершеною. Однозначно рекомендую!

Einfach gut! Tolles Team und sehr interessante Gäste. Unsere Erwartungen deutlich übertroffen! Wir kommen gern wieder!

Superfreundliches Personal, tolles Essen und passende Atmosphäre 🙂

Wirklich toller und leckerer kleiner Laden in Hamburg. Wir haben hier zu zweit sehr leckere Pieroggi gegessen! Auch für Vegetarier ist einiges auf der kleinen Speisekarte zu finden.
