ToTu Cafe

Great place. Very friendly. Polish beers on tap! Lentil pierogi was great. Took forever to make pierogi, but that because they’re made to order. Hungarian soup was amazing.

I visited recently and ordered the Kebab plate. It was very good. I sat in the bar area and was waited upon promptly.
I vowed never to come back but I changed my mind and gave it another try. I am glad I did. I noticed they have put more items on their menu.

A nice Polish place with authentic Polish and Hungerian food. This bar is nice looking and has an upper restaurant part that looks fabulous. The service was good and food excellent in this place that looks more bar but is in fact more restaurant with an emphasis on food. I would encourage all Polish people in the area to check out this place.

This was our best experience yet… server sweet and attentive. Food amazing… had the polish sausage, perogies, and pizza bread. Excellent — can’t wait to go back.

I was there just this Saturday, right after the River-​dance show in Rosemont theater
and there was a birthday party with a dj, in lent it is unusual to see Poles dancing
but they had a good time, drinking and dancing
any-​who, I was there with my friends and we ordered food — I got a kebob, and my friend got Zapiekanka — like pizza bread —
it was good — maybe not great, but good and the price was good too
it is a polish joint so some snobby Americans especially high-​maintenance females from nothshore may feel «uncomfortable «
we all had fun although most did not drink %

Totu has some really excellent Polish food, but we won’t be returning. I’m not sure if we arrived at an off time, but the only server was also running the bar, which was awkward and just made our group –the only ones in the dining room — feel unwelcome. She spoke about as much English as we spoke Polish so I can let some of the service confusion slide, but honestly she missed out on some very basic things– only serving one couple at a time, letting half the table have their food a full 15 minutes before the other half got our meals, etc.
It seemed this place doesn’t want to be a restaurant. We arrived at 7:30 on a Friday night, which seemed a reasonable dinner time for us. The food took *forever* and our server kept getting very, very confused. It took almost 45 minutes to settle our checks and we came very close to simply walking out.
That said, the food was really yummy. I had the Hungarian pancake and the goulash reminded me of my grandmother’s. The pierogi were good but I prefer mine seared after they’re boiled, and the potato pancakes were tasty. My husband’s kebab was extremely overcooked. But the prices were fair and since we had a group of 6 friends, we were able to talk and visit during the long stretches of downtime.
Overall, good food couldn’t save this place for us. It’s a local bar; it’s simply not a restaurant.

Very fun place with good prices. Fun weekend entertainment often available. If you want to get together with your friends for birthday it is a good place to hang out and have a great time.

Totu kebabs are Chicago-​famous.
I learned what good pierogi tastes like here and what Zapiekanki is (Polish pizza which is better than pizza) and tasted red and white borscht for the first time.
