We had dinner sitting next to the live music performers which were so talented. We ordered a starter and a main dish for each of us and everything was just perfect. Great food, staff really kind and very professional. I cannot find anything which could...have been negative. Certainly I will go again as soon as I’ll back in Krakow.More

We visited the restaurant after spending some time in the Jewish district. We sat in the lovely garden which was beautiful, with a lovely atmosphere. The location is lovely, surrounded by quirky bars. The restaurant had a lovely vibe with a calming atmosphere. The staff...were very friendly and we especially enjoyed our conversations with Gabriel who shared common interests in music and football as my fiancé ( although different teams!). This made the experience really enjoyable as it was nice to engage in conversation and to talk and compare our home countries and experiences. The home made vodka shots were amazing, and Gabriel provided extended flavours that were not yet on the menu, our favourites were the coconut, banana and pineapple! I had ruskie to start and duck for main followed by a brownie, my fiancé had the sausage starter, burger for main and a brownie, we really enjoyed the food it was beautiful. We highly recommend Starka for the lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and stunning food. We will be returning. Thank you, Dziękuję. Elly & Liam. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇵🇱More

Nestled in the heart of Krakow, Starka is a delightful culinary haven that stole my heart. The cozy interior exuded warmth, and the charming decor added to the inviting ambiance. The attention to details leave a good impression. What truly stood out was the personalized...service our waiter — Anna was not only knowledgeable about the menu but also gave sincere and warm emotions . An evening at is an experience that lingers on the palate and in the heart."More

This place seems to often have a wait but it is worth the brief wait. The staff is very attentive and friendly. The Perogi were fantastic. The Vodkas are delicious. The entrée was excellent. Many thanks to Anna for the wonderful service and excellent assistance...in English, made the experience just that much nicer.More

During our stay in Kraków, my friends and I visited a few of the most highly rated restaurants and I think Starka was actually the best one! The ambiance and food were really great. The service was amazing, our waitress was super friendly and gave...us great recommendations. And finally the homemade vodka! They have many flavors, my friends and I ordered many rounds and shared some of them and all were great. I ordered pineapple, apricot, coconut and apple with cinnamon and just when I was about to order the 5th round, our lovely waitress told me that she has something special for me, a flavor that is not even on the menu. It was banana and actually it was the best out of the bunch.More

Amazing atmosphere. Beautifully presented food, fresh ingredients, tasted wonderful. Staff so helpful, relaxed and professional. We enjoyed the mix of traditional polish food with more modern salads and vegetarian. Will defiantly return.

Such a lovely place in the beautiful atmosphere of Kazimierz, just nearby the Schindler’s list passage. Excellent food: Ruskie Pierogi (amazing, one of the best ever eaten in Krakow) and both beef cheeks and duck breast were marvellous; also the selection of wines was definitely...appropriate to our dishes. In the end, we were suggested a couple of amazing handmade vodkas to get together with desserts! And the beautiful Kinga was lovely and totally available all the time to answer our requests or offering suggestions! Highly recommended to taste some traditional Polish cuisine with an excellent touch of professionality and kindness in the heart of the beautiful Jewish area.More

Starka is a lovely restaurant with a nice atmosphere and central location. The layout and decor is also very well thought through. The staff are polite, friendly and present themselves very well. Our waitress Asia was wonderful and very helpful. The food was good but...a little pricey for what we received. It was certainly tasty and the portion size generous but we both felt the food lacked a little bit of love. All in all a great experience..More

Very friendly and helpful staff: we arrived at 7pm to book a table for 8pm and it was already completely full (on a Monday)! The waitress took my name down and asked to come back by 9pm and when we did, we found a perfect...table for two available. Cheerful waitress Ania recommended very good choice of dishes - great overall ambience too!More

We were delighted that Starka could accommodate us with a last minute reservation. We were seated at the small table next to the bar and we had a very enjoyable evening. To begin we shared the mixed pierogi, then enjoyed the beef cheeks and duck...breast, followed by desserts and several flavoured vodkas. All the food was beautiful, both in taste and presentation. The whole staff were very friendly, with Judy being especially attentive and willing to recommend vodkas to try.More
