Mamuśka! Polish Kitchen and Bar is a large, lively restaurant near Waterloo that celebrates the generous everyday cooking of Poland. Its informal style makes traditional dishes approachable for diners who grew up with them as well as people discovering Polish food for the first time. The spacious Addington Street venue sits close to the South Bank and Westminster, providing an easy meeting point for families, groups and visitors. Food, drink and a sociable atmosphere are given equal importance, creating a restaurant that feels welcoming rather than ceremonial.
Pierogi are central to the experience, with soft Polish dumplings offered in several fillings and portion sizes. The wider menu explores dishes such as bigos, schabowy, gołąbki, potato pancakes, beetroot broth and breaded croquettes. Slow cooked stews provide depth and comfort, while salads, soups and vegetable choices offer lighter contrasts. Many recipes are prepared by Polish cooks using familiar techniques and flavours, helping the food retain the direct, satisfying quality associated with family kitchens and casual restaurants across Poland.
The bar extends the journey with a broad selection of Polish beer, craft beer and vodka. Clear vodkas sit beside fruit, nut, herb and spice infusions, allowing guests to compare traditional pours or choose flavours suited to their meal. These drinks work naturally with pickled vegetables, rich stews, grilled sausage and fried dishes, while cocktails and alcohol free choices broaden the selection. Sharing a tasting menu or several plates with drinks is an easy way for a group to explore more of the restaurant’s character in one visit.
Different areas within the venue create space for everyday dining, larger gatherings, live sport and celebrations. The atmosphere is energetic but relaxed, with counter style practicality balanced by the warmth of table service and a well stocked bar. Children are welcomed with dedicated choices, while vegetarian and vegan dishes make group visits easier to organise. Mamuśka! succeeds by treating Polish food as both a source of cultural pride and straightforward pleasure, serving substantial cooking in a setting designed for people to gather, talk and stay awhile.

The Waterloo Beef Burger
We start out with 200g of prime beef chuck, mince it on site and season it to perfection. Char-grilled to medium, cheese added to taste and topped with our own freshly made coleslaw and Polish gherkin, all served on a toasted brioche bun. Perfect!
Bigos Polish Stew

Our Vegan Kotlet is made from Moving MountainsTM. We make a perfect cutlet, bread it and shallow fry it ourselves – just like we do with Schabowy! So if you’re looking to cut down on meat and still want those Polish flavours, this is for you, complete with 22g of vegetable protein.
Vegan Kotlet Tower
Can’t decide between our home-style delicious vegan stew and the vegan kotlet? Problem solved! Order this Tower of a meal and get two tastes in one! Enjoy!
Vegan Leczo
Chef decided that we need a break from Vegan Stew … so he’s serving Vegan Leczo Stew! The difference? More peppers, less chick peas and a lot more Polish.
