Halinka Polish Deli

Our favorite place in the area to get Polish groceries. Excellent frozen pierogi. Well priced canned goods. Really good hot buffet, try potato pancakes!

Good quality cold cuts, many polish (imported form Poland) items and home cooked meals and deserts — of course Polish cuisine. I buy often from them. My favorites are natural ham, Kabanos, Polish style cottage cheese and Black Currant juice.

Great Polish food, if you have triple the amount of money to pay for it. I’ll go when I want homemade pierogies and farmers cheese.

So glad that I discovered this shop. Halinka’s is a rare little gem for those who appreciate authentic Polish food. Their pierogies are delicious and come in different varieties: potato, cheese, onion, sauerkraut, even fruit-​flavored. They have cookies (chrusciki!), cakes, pastries as well as a large selection of grocery items straight from Poland. I’ve tried something which is similar to my mom’s haluski (she was Slovak): noodles with cabbage & bacon. Not bad. I look forward to trying their other deli items.

The products have no prices. Whatever item you consider buying you have to ask and I did that for three things so imagine how annoying that is. I dont feel like going there anymore.

Stopped in for lunch and tried the Polish Sampler # 2: a stuffed cabbage, 2 kielbasa pieces, 3 pierogies and 4 potato pancakes. All very tasty and reasonably priced. For under $ 10 (+ bottled water) it was easily the best lunch I had all week.

Decent place for Polish food items. They have cakes, bread, sausages of different types, an array of frozen pierrogies and lots of other things. I can’t say I’m an expert in this area but this looks like a useful source for Eastern European treats. I noticed a picture I put up of sauerkraut has the caption Maoists— I’m sure I didn’t write that –so I’ll blame auto correct as usual.

This is a fair location and fair polish deli in a pinch. Many homemade polish items and overseas must haves.
Maybe i am too used to delis in north east NJ and greenpoint Brooklyn ny for authentic on site smoked hams and kielbasa and kieszka. They dont do it on site and they didnt even have kiezka. Gonna go to a butcher to see if they have that.

This place is a hidden gem! Discovered it and have been here many times since. As authentic as you can get.
All take out. We started off with a small portion of potato pancakes and then each had a build your own platter with pierogis, stuffed cabbage, and kielbasa. Wish they had a mushroom sauce for the stuffed cabbage but no big deal.
They have a bonus of many freezers stocked with a plethora of different pierogis that once boiled melt in your mouth. Even some with fruit inside. They also have a number of different frozen soups and stews. Exceptional! I always make sure to bring the frozen products home for quick meals during a busy week.
Highly recommend this place. 5 stars all the way!

If you love Polish food this is the place… no need to drive to Trenton, Wallington or Chicago. I have lunch here every other week. They have a steam table of prepared dishes that will take you to a typical Polish kitchen. All the food is fresh, authentic and flavorful. I love this place.

This is a deli and grocery with hot and cold foods not a restaurant. This place is awesome! Deli meats and Kielbasa very good. Also ha a good assortment of polish groceries, and baked goods. You have to try the cheese Babka. I haven’t tasted a Babka like that sine my mother passed away. Baked right there. The Paczki is good too.

Got to try the chrusciki cookies — authentic and to die for. Crisp little fried wafers with confectionary sugar.

What I ate:
Walnut cake. It had a creamy texture and the predominant flavor was walnut not sugar or frosting like with other baked goods. It didn’t taste too sweet either, it’s something that would compliment tea very well.
The cakes there range from Polish specialties like walnut cake or apple cake, to overall crowd pleasers like cheesecake.
I went back a second time when the hot food was still being served and had a mixed plate of perogis, sausage, potato pancakes, some sort of cabbage leaf stuffed with sour pickled vegetables. I also had a mint apple soft-​drink I purchased from the grocery section. The food tasted wasn’t outstanding in terms of taste, but its more along the lines of something I could see myself eating regularly. its like comfort food.
Service:
I was helped by a blonder slightly elderly woman who was as boss as the cake I ate. She read my puzzled yet excited face like a book and offered to answer any questions I had about the food.
Misc:
I saw many awesome things walking around the store: hot foods like soups, pierogis, kielbasa and many other appetizing things, snacks like candy and chocolate, sauces, teas, foreign soft drinks and pickled vegetables. They also have a nicely furnished dining area in the back. There is a lot of natural light cause of all the windows, which help makes it feel comfortable. It’s also quiet as it’s decenrly separated from the storefront, there so its a great place to talk casually with friends while you eat.
I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a delicious, foreign and relatively inexpensive meal served in a warm environment.

Coming from a Ukrainian family we know good pirogi and keilbasa and Halinka delivers! We live in bedminster and drive down to buy our babka, kielbasa, and whatever else reminds me of my grandma’s old school cooking from Halinka, it is wonderful not having to drive over to passaic for some good kielbasa.

I love when new and interesting businesses pop up. This place is really Polish and they seem to really know what they are doing. The pierogies are out of this world good. Probably the best I have ever had. My mom and I were trying to decide on which pastries to pick out and the person checking out our order was very helpful in describing the different types offered. There was one that I had which was really terrible but the other one I had made up for it and was delicious. Everything is in Polish and can be very confusing, but the two men behind the counter was really nice and helpful.
