USA, Canada / Has anyone been to "SZALAS" restaurant in Chicago area? [6]

I've been to Szałas a couple of times. The food is excellent. I personally like the placek po węgiersku, but most anything you order will be good. Very nice atmosphere, reminiscent of some of the places in and around Zakopane. And the service is a bit on the surly side, just like in Poland, so you'll get the full Polish dining experience. ;)

I don't know that you'll need reservations. Both times I was there, they had plenty of available seats, but you may want to call just to make sure.

Beware, though, of the neighborhood. It's a bit on the ugly side.
