Incredible food! Everything we tried was absolutely delicious. Pierogies, potato pancakes, and the hot borscht are standouts. Don't sleep on this place!

My wife and I love this place. My family comes from Poland and whenever I crave food like my aunts and grandmothers used to make, I come here. Super authentic... read more and unfussy, delicious food. Staff are very friendly, food comes out quickly. A nice, casual, inexpensive place for a great Polish meal. I recommend the tripe soup, the chicken cutlet, the sauerkraut and mushroom pierogi, the carrot and horseradish salad, and the red cabbage salad. Just fantastic.

Just ordered take out from Relax for the first time and I'll definitely be back. First off the service ordering and through pick up was great- friendly and welcoming. I... read more ordered the polish plate which is an impressive amount of food and all excellent. It's a good mix of items that complement each other. Well prepared and each item is equally good. I'm not sure I could pick a favorite. Next time I'd love to dine inside as its a really cute atmosphere. Well done all around!

Best polish food. When I visited Poland I kept comparing the food there to what I've had from this restaurant. It's THAT good.
Jane M. 5/20/2022
Great Polish food. No real waiter service. Go up and order, the food is brought to you. Cash only. Amazing food. Like my Polish mother's and grandmother's. Great food like... read more Pyza but nicer room. Much nicer and spacier. Prices still very reasonable. Home cooked by a bunch of Polish ladies in the kitchen, like every other great Polish restaurant in the neighborhood.

This is it! This is why I love living in Greenpoint. Sure,
we've got the pretentious rip-off places with
confused service, reclaimed wood and Edison Bulbs,
Fleet Foxes playing in... read more the background, small
portions and sky high prices but we also have
fantastic, dirt cheap, old school places
like Relax. All of your Polish comfort foods are here;
delicious home made mushroom, borscht,
vegetable and chicken noodle soups, fresh pierogis,
kielbasas, stews, roasts, home made desserts, fruit/
cheese filled blintzes and a whole bunch of great
vegetarian options. All of this is unbelievably
inexpensive. You will spend less here for a full
course meal with sides than you will for a single
cocktail at some New Brooklyn lame azz gentrifier.
Word to the wise and the truly hip: support these
authentic local businesses. You will miss them when they are all gone.

So happy Relax has reopened after all this time. Every time we walk by in the neighborhood we would wonder whether we would see the doors open again. Not only... read more are they open, but the food is DELICIOUS. Stopped in for take-out last week and couldn't be happier. We will be returning frequently!
