damnlines hasn't pointed a lens at Karczma Polish Restaurant yet. The most-wanted lines get a camera first.
Karczma's small dining room fills up fast on weekend nights, and thebestofgreenpoint.com warns that anyone heading in for a weekend dinner "will probably be met with a long wait," advising guests to expect the wait and grab a drink while they hold out for a table.
The same local guide notes there's no day-of booking window since the restaurant only takes reservations up to 30 days in advance, so walk-ins without a reservation end up waiting at the bar once tables fill after 6pm on weekend evenings.
