Went there once a couple of days ago without expecting much... and was blown away. This is michelin-star grade food. Each and every single ingredient was cooked to perfection. The meat was melting like butter, the vegetables full of colour, texture and taste. The staff was adorable. I need to go back to make sure it wasn't all just a dream.
Excellent food and good service. Helpful suggestions by the waitress.
Fantastic food . Friendly and welcoming . Recommended
Great place amazing food and desserts. Very friendly staff
Very tasty and fresh dishes. Served like works of art. Cheaply! I would highly recommend! Respect for the chef !!!
Food ok. Prices even affordable. The service is a little expensive, but that's ok. Food delicious. Suuuper wild boar.
Great food. Pierogi with boar or duck - totally recommend... and to end fantastic outing - great desserts!
Poor not pleasant service at pastries section...second time ordered waffles and another dissapointment as they not doing them because of no time...why the offer is still on the counter...instead I get dessert....dissapoited.dirty cofee cups...
Fantastic Polish food and service with a smile. Been there many times and always enjoy it. Revisit yesterday and must say food wasn't that good like always, wine list change and prices go up. Will back again and will see if the food is back to normal.
The hot food was ok. Staff not that interested. Cakes are great, though.
Beautiful tasting soups and main courses. Fabulous night out with really pleasant staff too. Can t wait for our next visit.
There were only a few people waiting for a meal over 25min
Beautifully presented dishes with little to no flavour - this is the opposite of what Polish cuisine is about!!
Very nice place and delish food.
Fine dining, very fancy. The staff is happy to help, polite and professional.
I ll visit again, definitely.
Great restaurant and cafe. Wonderful desserts and cakes and really well cooked food which is reasonably priced and filling. Happily make this place my local. If you order cakes make sure you give plenty of notice - about 2 weeks is plenty.
The waiters are incredibly inexperienced. I think they were hired because they are Polish, this is wrong they should firstly know how to be good waiters!! Waited 15 mins for drinks, drinks came after food?! Waiter forgot my water and didn't remove wine glasses from table so 3 of us were sitting with 8 wine glasses on our table!! Didn't smile at all. No checking with us if food was ok? Seemed we were bothering him! No matter if food is good I will never be going back. Horrible experience.
The shop front is immaculate and the counters have cakes and patisseries which would fit in a Belgian choclaterie.
Friendly service with a smile and so reasonably priced.
I live treating myself to a snack here. X
As always, fantastic atmosphere, delicious dumplings and friendly, professional service. Mniiiiaammmm
Very delicious and elegantly served food.

My wife and I have been here a few times. Great polish restaurant. Nice traditional food, well presented and tasty. Really warm service.
Food and service was outstanding! Marvelous place with spotless facilities too!
One of my favourite places to eat in London, always tasty food, friendly staff and great service.
Staff was very friendly. Food was tasty but meat was a little too dry.
Hmmmm, no hit, the decor of the place is good, but the portions are weak, and the prices are twice as high as in the competition next door
Tasty, expensive, but worth the price. Nice service. The only drawback is very cramped. Man would like to sit longer.
Tips are added to the bill. Shame! There is no warning anywhere.
A beautiful place with delicious cake spacially chery cheese cake
Great menu and fantastic waitresses with knowledge. The food presentation 5 stars, the taste vary between good and very good. Very pleased with the prices.
Great Polish cuisine, dishes are refined in every inch with a unique taste, friendly professional service is always nearby. Friendly nice atmosphere, pleasant interior climate. Dumplings are made right before your eyes. Nice tasty. I highly recommend to all lovers of good cuisine.
Delicious food, copious portions, friendly staff. We dine here very regularly. In Poland, Sowa is famous for its pastries. In Ealing, we love the starters and mains! A fabulous experience.
Not sure what happened recently but have ordered meat pierogi and I have been feeling sick the whole day after a bit disappointed as previously had been here and never had experienced this plus I did expect premium quality as before especially inviting foreign friend to try the food and she felt the same ill.
Excellent place, great staff and amazing polish food!
Polish cakes are the best !! Love the atmosphere and decor in this place !!
My first experience of eating at a Polish restaurant, and definitely won't be my last! Food was beautifully presented and had lots of flavour. Particularly liked the wild boar, duck and selection of pierogi (dumplings) . A huge bonus is the Sowa patisserie attached to the restaurant. We were definitely spoilt for choice with so many cakes and desserts on display. So we ended up ordering some extra to takeaway with us. Can't wait to come back.
I would like to say that I love this place a lot.
Food, people, cakes, ambient - everything is great. I always recommend to all my friends and family to must go there. If you like trying different cousins and you have not tried Polish Food yet. Don't hesitate. All the Menu is in English and everyone there speak English too. All the cakes are delicious.
Well done Sowa!!!.There are many proud Polish people to Recommend your lovely place as a one of the best Polish Restaurant in London. Very happy customer :-)
Very good food
Nice service
The ceremony in Sowa is a guarantee of a successful reception. The communication of my son was just such: beautifully decorated table, delicious, wonderfully served food and a wonderful atmosphere. And people working in Owl are characterized by professionalism and unusual courtesy. I definitely recommend it! :)
Absolutely amazing. Every single time I'm there service is great, food is so delicious and always nice atmosphere. Highly recommended and I will definitely be back for more cakes and pierogi:)
Half of duck in it own gravy was terrible. It was cold inside and I suspect it was few days old. I am very displeased with quality. Worst experience. :(
Gourmet standard Polish food. Absolutely delicious although everything very rich and flavoursome - almost too much so!
Prices reasonable.
Only problem - no Polish beer! Only Czech?!
The worse ever experience disgusting dry old beby chiken with very oily green lentils on the side few wine tomatos ....very disappointed travel specially to ealing on the day of 50%eat out help out scheme unfortunately waste of time waste of money
Polish Pierogi with meat and Russian pierogi are the best!
We were there for the first and last time. We waited quite a long time before someone would kindly come. We placed the order and waited patiently. After 10 minutes a waitress came over informing us that one dish is not on offer ... Well, I chose something else. In the end I got the salad instead of fried cabbage. The menu differs from the served dish.
We enjoyed trying the dishes here. Would recommend.
Lovely staff but very disappointed with a food that was swimming in a grease.
My second , second chance for Sowa and second review...I still think they are overpriced considering sizes of portions. On the top of this, polish gnocchi,kluski slaskie, were not freshed, fried on the pan instead cooked in the water only, More
Very good food and a friendly staff. I will definitely be back there
Delicious food, friendly and helpful staff, great atmosphere and decor. This place is great for lunch and dinner, and it has a nice selection of dishes, however it does lack vegetarian options. It is also joined with a lovely patisserie with the most amazing cakes and other sweets. We've picked this restaurant three times to celebrate my birthday, as it's just so convenient to buy a lovely birthday cake from the patisserie and enjoy a nice lunch/dinner and a coffee. I could not recommend this place enough!
It used to be better, but recently it has turned into canteen dishes from exclusive dishes. The service is great as always but the food is much weaker than it used to be.
Good Polish food at a London price. However, it is worth visiting. I also recommend confectionery with great products, which is right next to the restaurant. A very wide range of products made on butter and without chemicals.
A very calm restaurant with authentic fresh Polish food. Very popular with Ealing's Polish community. Friendly and attentive staff.
A swish coffee shop/patisserie and restaurant which has clearly won over a far bigger crowd than merely the expected Polish clientele.
Much to recommend in terms of the selection of cakes and very good coffee but if you're tired of being dragged to certain well-know High Street coffee chains by your little ones in their quest for a hot chocolate, take them here for a change - its possibly one of the best hot chocolates I tried in a long time.
Oh, and if coming by car there is a convenient car park hidden behind the shops on the same road. A parking spaces outside are either for blue-badge holders of for loading and unloading.
Fabulous polish food, been here many times and everything was great. One of the best places to eat out in Ealing. Check out their chocolates and cakes, handmade and amazing.
Fantastic, great food,attentive staff, lovely cakes,
Good food and cakes but service especially in cakes and coffee side is awful.
A friend took us here, since we wanted to try his native cuisine. And what a treat!!! Started out with Polish Beers and Czech lager with our first course, 3 different kinds of dumplings and loved them all! Next up Blini, Steak Tatar, and Goat Cheese salad -- all of it so delicious!
Great taste of food, first class. Very good quality restaurant and food.
Always have an amazing meal at Sowa. Service is prompt and very friendly. Absolutely recommended!
The place look good but the food was very poor except the desert was good...
Good food, but hopeless service, stoned waiter taught me manners.
Very pleasant place to have some of the finest polish dishes. Well recommended. To start with we choose sour soup, which was served in a very presentable way and it tasted even better than expected. We tried the beef rolls- beautifully cook, served with dumplings. That was very delicious dinner and we will definitely come back to try some more.
