Did you know you can experience a little bit of Poland right here in Maine? It’s true. All it takes is a visit to Portland, where you’ll find Bogusha’s Polish Restaurant and Deli. The authentic Polish cuisine isn’t the only thing there is to love about the restaurant, though. There’s also the fact that it includes a small grocery section, so you can take a bit of Poland home with you. Take a look:
Bogusha’s Polish Restaurant and Deli is located on Stevens Avenue in Portland.

It’s housed in a small, unassuming building, so it’s easy to pass up, but you definitely don’t want to do that.

And that’s because the eatery serves up some of the best, most authentic Polish food around. In fact, many have dubbed it the best Polish food in all of New England.

Kielbasa, stuffed cabbage, and marinated herring are just a few of the authentic dishes offered. Pierogies are also part of the fare, of course.

Not only are the pierogies made fresh on-site, but they come stuffed with a variety of different cheeses, veggies, and meats. Cheese and potato, sauerkraut and mushroom, and spinach and feta are just a few of the tasty options.
