Baba’s Pierogies

The cheese and potato pierogi are delicious, as are the potato, and the blueberry. The Mac and cheese was also shockingly good. Recommend you get them all steamed. Was not such a fan of the bacon and cheddar one — a little too smoked for me.
This place is very clean, very quaint, easy to walk in on a Saturday night and eat immediately.

Guy behind the counter is the nicest, ambiance is clean and clutter free, and the menu is not too big, just right. Will definitely come back for lunch. Don’t be a fool– get the large (9) and splurge for the caramelized onions. Enjoy!

Super cute casual quick food spot in gowanus. The décor is modern, bright & cheery. You order at the counter & they bring you the perogies.
Food:
We got the Mac n cheese, potato & cheese & spinach & feta perogies. All of them were deliciously pan fried to crispy perfection. The potato & cheese ones were topped with caramalized onions & mushrooms, which j highly recommend.
–Mac n cheese was creamy & delicious
–potato & cheese were great but I think without the caramalized onion & mushroom add on they would have been a bit boring
–spinach & feta was delicious
–the sour cream they serve is totally amazing
–the blueberry perogies were not my fav but he home made whipped cream was AMAZING
Overall great spot for quick casual dinner or take out. Prices are a bit steep for what you get but the food is home made & quality so it’s totally worth it.

Had a great meal here earlier tonight.
The décor inside is really wonderful (make sure to read the plaque which explains the origin of the cushions and the wood).
We had fried mac and cheese, fried bacon and cheddar, and boiled spinach and feta pierogis. The spinach and feta were definitely our favorites but all three were great. They also came out within a few minutes of ordering.
The staff were really pleasant and we can’t wait to go back. The only minor dings I can think of are:
— lack of air conditioning
— would be nice if there were more pre-​curated combos on the menu (staff shared a good recommendation for a combo, feels like that should be right on the menu)

Best Pierogies in Brooklyn! Such an awesome place. The staff is so super friendly. This was my second time returning to Babas and it was still as amazing as the first. It’s so wonderful to see how much love goes in to making this lil pillows of goodness. You can literally look back into the kitchen and see them hand making the Pierogies to order. They are always fresh and delicious I’ve tried them all. If I had to pick a favorite it would be the potato bacon and cheddar.

Stopped by this place because a friend recommended it. Even though I’ve never had pierogies they were a pretty great snack. I prefer the bacon cheddar and the Mac and cheese to share. The bacon cheddar was the best out of the two. The staff there was very friendly.

We tried 5 different types and loved them all!!! Nice staff!!!
Not fancy just good food

The absolute best pierogies I’ve ever had in my life! This is a new regular spot for me. We went in and got the sauerkraut pierogies and the jalapeño pierogies and were so blown away that we ordered a second time (spinach and feta, and potato and farmer’s cheese)! Again, blown away. We had just enough room for the chocolate and hazelnut dessert pierogies served with homemade whipped cream, and everything was so delicious that if my stomach didn’t have a maximum capacity I’d still be there ordering food.
The service was wonderful, genuinely kind people working the register and in the kitchen. Everything tasted exquisitely fresh and the pierogies were handmade to order! We had a lovely chat with the chef and felt at home and welcomed. This place is a gem, don’t miss out!

Best pierogies ever. Made fresh. Every. Single. Day. They have the fresh dough in the back. You can see them making the pierogies by hand for every order. Nothing frozen, nothing just laying around. Super fresh! Get them pan fried. All of the pierogies are good, but my favorites are the jalapeño cheddar, the bacon, the feta spinach, and the classic cheese and potato. The sauces are great too. (Oh and if they have the dessert pumpkin pierogies — those are a must!). If I lived closer, I’d eat here more than twice a week. This place is amazing. Thank you for existing.

Stopped in for a quick bite to eat & we were pleasantly surprised how fresh & delicious our lunch was. We started with two small orders with the cucumber salad & then quickly realized we wanted round two! Ultimate favorites were the fried bacon & cheddar as well as the sauerkraut with the perfect hint of caraway seeds.
The staff was incredibly friendly & very knowledgeable of their menu.
Highly recommended to those in the area to try and yes their not cheap but their quality far surpasses any other pierogis we’ve had!

It was good though we spent much more money here than we anticipated.
For 2 people we had the 5 Sauerkraut, 5 Blueberry, 5 Potato and Cheese and 5 Bacon and Cheese, a side of apple sauce and a beer and it came to $ 48. Definitely more than we wanted to spend, and we still walked away a bit hungry, so there’s that. They also ran out of 2 types of pierogies so get there early rather than late!
They make them from scratch so budget some time (~15 minutes) or call ahead for pick-​up.
Some seating indoors.
I’m not sure what else to say — they’re pierogies.

I’m going to preface this by saying that I’m Russian and grew up on pierogies (or vareniki as we call them) and have been hard pressed to find decent pierogies outside the Brighton area. While this is not the perfect pierogie for me (Brighton still rules) I did appreciate their modern take and the variety of fillings on the menu. The space is bright and clean and the family (?) that runs it are very nice. You can see them making the pierogies in the back. I went with the classic potato filled ones with fried onions on top and sour cream on the side. My kids enjoyed them immensely. What’s not to like about mashed potatoes inside dough? What blew me away were the chocolate hazelnut filled ones. Thank god the serving comes with 5 pieces because I would have kept going. Will definitely be back for more.

I came here on a Thursday night about an hour before it closed. They had a pretty cool assortment of Pierogies and I was happy the staff was helpful in my making a decision. We wound up with the cheese and jalapeño versions, both delicious. I have never had a pierogie made with so much care. The outside pasta shell was soft without being too firm or mushy. The presentation was also nice with some slivered scallions. They weren’t cheap, but they were delicious. It cost around $ 20 for 10 pirogues and the additional sees of sour cream and applesauce. They were both the most expensive as well as the most delicious pirogues I have ever had!

Baba’s Pierogies are definitely some of the best pierogies I have ever had. They offer several different pierogie fillings and they are all cooked to perfection. I came with 3 friends and shared the mac n cheese, jalepeno, and bacon and cheese pierogies. I also had a few bites of the carrot salad. The pierogies are all made in house and can either be fried or boiled. I can’t even tell you how delicious these dumplings are.
The restaurant is a small, family run business that seats about 10 people total. The tables are small, so not the best place to come with a large group. I would say to definitely eat in the restaurant because the presentation of each dish is quite adorable.
So why the –1 star you say? You have to order 5 – 8 of the same pierogies. The restaurant does not let you mix and match, which I think is a problem. When I come to a restaurant that sells dumplings, I want to be able to mix and match what I buy, especially if I dine by myself. At a place that acts as more of a takeout join, I should be able to order 1 mac-​n-​cheese, 1 jalepeno, and 3 bacon and cheese pierogies (or whatever tickles my fancy on that day).

I’m a Suffolk guy, to you brooklynites, that might as well mean montauk or Mars… Now I don’t get as west as I’d like as often as I’d like, but This particular day, I was in philly; yup, I was eating cheesesteaks and buying fireworks
If you know me, I’m not satisfied with 6 cheesesteaks, okay?! I’m going to try as many things from as many places as I possibly can. This being said pierogis were a chance craving that I was going to stop in jersey for on the way home, but plans change and thank god they did!!!
As soon as I crossed the bridge I made a B line to Baba’s and man oh man was it a big payoff.
They have a few special types that aren’t always on the menu, but we managed with a boat load of pierogis to send us rolling home.
They were all better than the next and you need to go try them for yourself. They had just opened not a month or so earlier and I was pumped to be an early customer. He told us all about growing up and his grandmothers pierogis, it was awesome! We entertained him I guess, it was a fun night just hangin’ out with the girl, talking to the owner, and eating these little pouches of heaven.
Hard to pick a fave but I feel like the classics were amazing as could be.

These just might be the best perogis I’ve ever had. I only gave 4 stars because I didn’t get a chance to try them all. They don’t allow you to buy individual ones or one of each. You have to buy either 5 or 9 (same kind only) and they have 10 different kinds of perogis.
I ordered the classic potato and cheese and the spinach and feta. I also ordered the homemade apple sauce because you can’t eat perogis without apple sauce right. They make them right there when you order so it takes a while but it is worth the wait. Wow! I ate all 10, fried of course, because you have a choice of fried or boiled and I’m a sucker for fried perogis. They serve them with Caramelized onions if you like and I liked! Also included was sour cream. I will definitely be back to try the rest. Did I say yum?!!

Was in the neighborhood, and wanted a quick bite but not too heavy. Baba’s fit the bill. Growing up on polish food, I’m familiar with the fare. Babas takes the classic pierogi and goes a step further, offering them a bit of a gourmet twist. They offer pierogi boiled or pan fried, in various flavors. I went with the bacon cheddar potato pan fried, and a keibassa platter. It consisted of a nice link of keibassa, some krout, a horseradish dip, and some bread. The pierogi was excellent. Pan fried, akin to a good chinese dumpling should be, yet stayed soft, tender. Very flavorful. The keibassa was equally tasty, but the accompanying dip and krout were not as bold tasting as I would have liked. Hearty sausages need big flavor to balance against IMHO. I’ll definitely be back, the thought of those dessert blueberry pierogi are lingering in my mind…

Tasty pierogies in a cute space in Brooklyn. For two people sharing, we went with two small orders of pierogies (5 in each order) — one more classic flavor, the sauerkraut, and one more unusual, the jalapeño cheddar. Both were delicious and I recommend smothering one in caramelized onions and also trying the dip (with sriracha) on the side. Side of beet salad made me feel a tiny bit better getting some veggies in. All in all, a fun place to try some unique, homemade pierogies although prices are high and I’d still rather hit up the Polish restaurants in Greenpoint.

Wait, WHAT? A restaurant and the main dish is Pierogies? That’s fantastic, and straight out the gentrification handbook! How could this go wrong?
Really it can’t, and they’re making some pretty great Pierogies, though the prices are be a bit surprising for a typically inexpensive comfort food. I’ll just leave it at that. More importantly, they’re filling. So in the end it balances out your wallet and your pleasure.
Each dumpling is handmade to order, so it takes a bit of time, but they are tasty and worth the wait. If you’re looking for a Polish snack, stop by and get some to go — unless the 3 tables are empty and you can stay.
Actually that’s one thing to consider before going, the seating is limited and I have walked by and noticed it was full, so be prepared for that if it’s a popular dining hour and you need your pierogie injection ASAP.

I am so happy that I can get my pierogies close to home ! This place is a god-​send and did not disappoint at all.
You put your order at the counter and the restaurant makes it fresh. I would highly suggest the extra toppings of caramelized onions and mushrooms & trying some of the dips. We ended up getting a large and small order of different pierogies. This was definitely enough for two if not too much.
After you put your order, snag a table! When we were there on a Friday night, it was a bit difficult to get seating. This is because it does take time to make the pierogies so the customers are usually just sitting at the table and waiting for their order.
Lastly, bus your own table.
I believe when we went about a month or so ago, the restaurant was still working on getting their beer and wine license.
