But our regular customers? Well, they are very regular. And when we say "very regular" we actually mean "addicted". Basically, if we close the door on them, they will go into withdrawal and start crying out for pierogi Ruskie from the street. Even thinking about it makes Mama cringe.

We've just got too much love goin' on for the folks that come here three or four times a week to leave them out in the cold because we have booked out the entire joint for an event.So please come and party with Mama! Book out as many of our 85 seats as you like, if you have that many guests!
Others may want to hear all about our 28 different Polish vodkas, but we know you tour group folks don't really have time to hang around and chat. We regularly serve groups of more than 60 people with a 2 course meal in 45 minutes or less, from start to finish.

Whether you have a group of school children from Poland or you are showing a group of University intakes their way around London, we would love to provide you with a nice quick rest, a bathroom break and beautiful hot meal to cheer everyone up before getting back out on the road.Download our PDF document which you are able to save to your drive, fill in, save and email to us at book@mamuska.net!
South Bank's newest and coolest venue for hire is now open! A steel hand-fabricated bar, concrete bulkheads and steel beams on the floor will excite and put your guests at ease all at once. Venue only, full or self-service bar, reception or full dinner catering are all available as you perch above the Old Arch dining room o one side and the entrance lobby of Mamuka!
Whether you're travelling through Waterloo station and need to stop for refreshment before you jump on a train or if you are visiting some of London's most famous attractions then Mamuka's right where you need us. Just a moments walk from the London Eye, Big Ben and the Palace of Westminster and also convenient for the many hotels on the doorstep drop in for a drink or snack or one of Mama's famous hearty Polish meals.

Please make the ordering system easier - I do not want to have to download some app or have to make yet another account simply to order some food. This is highly unneccessary and very irritating, especially when I come to relax and take a break from all the cookies, ads, sign ups, pop-ups and the general plethora of internet annoyances.

I've not yet been to Poland, but most of the staff I met were from there. The food was great! We got the meal for two and couldn't finish it (and we can pack it away if we let ourselves). Great atmosphere, frienldy staff. Reasonably priced. We are first time visitors to London and do not regret our meal here! We will definitely return if we pass through London again.

Went out looking for food and ethanol after arriving from Seattle, and wandered across the street from our hotel into...Polish Heaven. The best pierogis I've had since I lived in Manhattan. The service was incredible in the face of a total computer meltdown. 10/10 would recommend, and look forward to coming again.

Hoping that they are suffering from Covid disruption supply chain problems. They were out of 6 listed wines , beers and three main entrees. The food was canned tasting. Industrial tunnel decor meets disco with loud music , lighting. Very thin meat, thickly breaded. Overly whipped mashed potatoes. "Salad" was carrot shreds with maybe vinegar and ...garlic? My partner liked the pierogis.

Do not recommend the place. I ordered ‘’crispy potato cakes’’ and got DARK potato cakes. It wasn’t tasty at all, but the waitress even not asked us how it was, did we enjoy?horrible service!!!the kitchen not new for us, so it is nothing to do maybe not for our taste and we know potato cakes should be light not dark!!!

Delicious food, great dessert, and the service was amazing. We had the friendliest server who not only helped us decide, but was also really fun. They have a great selection of Polish drinks as well, definitely try Soplica with Hazelnut
Bardzo dziękuję!

I have walked past many times, but they were closed (early morning). One evening, whilst in the area, I decided to stop. Restaurant located on Lower Marsh Road, a quickly gentrifying street with more and more restaurants - not to mention food stalls on weekends, and perhaps also during the week.

Good amount of customers when I visited. Quick seating. Ordered soup and noodle dish. Fairly quick delivery of food.

Good sized portions. Probably one of the tastier Thai food places I've been. I would definitely visit again.

AMAZING. Got the beef roll-up and ruskie pierogies and they were both to die for. For a lot of people on my group, it was there first time having Polish food and my entire table ordered different items, they loved it all. Would definitely recommend!!

Came in hungry after a London bus tour. This place was next to the hotel I was staying at, so thought I'd give it a try. Had the lunch special and had the pierogi lunch plate; which included a drink and small salad bar plate. It was satisfying enough for me!

I must say that the ordering process is a bit confusing. You are to make your way to the back in the seating area and grab a menu. Then you walk back to the front to place your order and after that, you go back to find a seat again. I think it'd make more sense to have menus up front and have you order before looking for a

Stopped here for dinner before going to the very touristy London Eye. It's on a cute side street near Leake Street tunnel. It was lovely to sit outside as it was a warm evening. Food was delicious. Potato/cheese pierogies were flavorful and not as dense/heavy as pierogies can be. Adding sautéed onions, sour cream & bacon made them even more delicious! Husband & I both ordered the pork cutlet with mushroom sauce, which we thoroughly enjoyed but it was very filling- could have split one order. My son got the pork goulash which was very tender & nicely seasoned. Good selection of

Awesome authentic Polish food. The beef pierogi were a little bland so the needed the onions and sour cream. The pork schnitzel was one of the best I've had. The Russian style pierogis tasted like the ones I had growing up from an authentic Polish cook.

I had looked up places to eat near the London Eye and this popped up - I'm 100% Polish so I was obviously a little bias towards it once it came across the list. I looked into the menu a bit, their website, and pictures so I decided I just gotta try the Polish mom's cooking. I got there around the early afternoon on a Tuesday there was barely anyone there. The staff was super friendly and attentive & the menus were printed as if they were newspapers. They especially promoted their vodka which I thought was hilarious given the whole association with vodka and Polish people. The staff

On the plus sides, the place does large, hearty portions of pierogi the way your Polish grandmother would cook them (i.e. filling, doughy goodness with insane quantities of sour cream on the side), and the prices are not bad at all. Some of the fillings need a bit of seasoning, but it's perfectly filling, hearty food. There's also an ordering system not dissimilar to putting a prescription in, where you wait with your number to go and collect your pierogi, which can be fun to watch the numbers tick by.

In terms of the decor, it's very trendy in style (it's an arch with a very

Such a great find by our hotel.

They have only been open for a month but they have great things going for them.. Namely awesome Polish food, banging beers, and delicious Polish food.

In an area with higher priced, mediocre food this restaurant is perfect for the area.

Comforting polish food that is delicious and warms the soul. All the employees were super nice and answered all our questions before we ordered. They have an extensive polish beer list and vodkas in house.

AND while waiting we were able to sample their salad bar with ALL THE PICKLES AND SAUERKRAUT. A wonderful appetizer while
