5 /5 Marc Kirby: A Hidden Gem in Wood Green: A True Taste of Poland!
Folk House Zakopane on Westbury Road is an absolute treasure. This family-run restaurant serves up authentic Polish food that instantly transports you straight to the heart of Poland. Tucked away in the back streets of Wood Green, near Turnpike Lane, it’s the kind of place you almost don’t want to tell everyone about, because it’s that special.
I started with the traditional rye soup, which was rich, hearty, and full of flavour. For the main, I had the pork shank, and it was nothing short of incredible. The portion size was huge, and somehow each bite tasted even better than the last.
The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and genuinely Polish; from the décor to the hospitality. You can really feel the pride and love that goes into every dish. If you’re looking for authentic home cooked Polish food in London, this is the place to go.
An absolute must visit; once you’ve been, you’ll definitely be back.
