Hi there! I am so surprised reading all these negative comments about The Knaypa. I have been there so many times (including my civil wedding) and cannot be more pleased! Food is DELICIOUS, freshly cooked and nicely served. Staff is always polite and helpful. The atmosphere is just wonderful - romantic upstairs, great for dinner for two, and little 'montain style' tawern downstairs - great to spend nice time with group of friends. Prices are high but relevant to quality and quantity!
I am highly reccomending The Knaypa to everyone!

In The Knaypa restaurant we had a son's christening party.
Food was more the delicious, service was great - staff went extra mile to make us happy.
The Knaypa manager was extremely helpful, we could rely on his suggestions. My guests, my husband and myself we will remember this evening for a long time, thanks to great atmosphere, caring and very professional manager and dedicated staff.

did not enjoy it! once we arrived to the restaurant we had to wait for few minutes to be seated. I did not have a time to sit properly because menu was pushed into my hand. We have ordered coffee and glass of wine, that was brought to us after 20 min of waiting and waitress forgot to bring sugar! 10 min later waitress brought main dish, i was a bit anxious that he has forgotten about our salads too, so i asked for it and got reply: " i got only 2 hands" !
menu does not say anything about service charge and we were charged 12.5% without our knowledge
definitely will NOT go there again!

In April I had my wedding reception in "The Knaypa". The food was adequate. The drinks were too expensive. The room downstairs doesnt fit 40 people there were 30 of us and we were just able to fit. All of our requirements were not fulfilled. It ruined our beautiful day. We were extremely disappointed. We would never recommend this restaurant to anyone.

We went to the Knaypa on a Sunday evening, it was quiet when we arrived but it livened up later on. The restaurant was fairly small but had a nice atmosphere.
The food was excellent, reasonable priced for large portions which arrived quickly. As a first time for eating Polish food I was very impressed and would recommend anyone to try it.
The service was very good. Our waiter was very polite and helpful, offering advice on the best way to get a selection of Polish dishes.
The only downside was that the wine wasnt chilled, but the waiter did apologise and stated it was because the one wine which wasnt in the fridge.
Overall a good experience.

Visiting the restaurant for my friends birthday last night. There were 15 of us. Food was nothing special, very overpriced for what it was. Service was slow and the waitress was extremely rude. Talking and insulting us in Polish!!! We tried to contact the manager by telephone who didnt speak English and then hung up.
We brought our own birthday cake and asked if we could have it at the end of the meal, they had the cheek to try and charge us £30 for this 'privelige'. Unbelievable. Obviously we refused.
On the whole a very dissapointing birthday meal. Would never return or recommend this restaurant to anyone!!!

This evening Sunday 21/02.20011 - I had the miserable misfortune in visiting this place - I had with me two Filipino guests to whom I have praised polish food . . needless to say after visiting this Restaurant my guests must think that Poland only houses peasants . . . the food was abominable and the prices excessive to say the least - £75 for pigswill for 3 with no alcohol . . . .it was that good that immediately after paying and leaving, my guests asked we stop at a KFC . . . they have as much idea as to what they are doing as I have of flying a boomerang to the moon . . chances are I would succeed before they do......certainly one place I would give a very wide berth to in the future even if it meant paying the congestion charge . . .
