Domestic atmosphere, sharming servers and amazing food. I ate mixed salad 🥗🤤 portion is huge, taste is unforgivable! The main dish was smoked sausage, which reminded me of childhood! I will come again!

Only what I will change the red vine of the house is the sweet one! I like dry ones!

Feels just like the restaurants in Slovakia. Phenomenal food made from scratch. Polite server and comfortable atmosphere with folk decorations. Highly recommend.

Had a lovely dinner at Koliba with my girlfriend who is from Slovakia. We both agreed that Koliba is like a small pocket of slovakia in the middle of NYC. The food is very tasty, the beer is cold and the service is attentive - even if you do not speak slovakian. Definitely worth a visit if you want to try trafitional slovak food.

Talk about a charming authentic Slovakian restaurant. A friend of mine brought us here so we could sample foods from her culture and it was the highlight of our weekend. The food was flavorful and cooked to perfection. You have got to start with the bread. It’s almost like a challah but far lighter. it was amazing!!!! Everyone in the group agreed they would be going back.

Our Czech friend brought us to this place claiming this is the most authentic Czech food in New York and boy did it not disappoint. The assault of meat and cheese and cabbage dishes was roughly what I expected; it left me moaning as the next dish rolled out onto our table. I’d say the duck was the best of them, closely followed by the smoked pork. Make sure you order few shots of sliviza to make this all go down smoothly. Desert is probably best ordered somewhere else.

Best duck in NYC? YES! It would be a challenge to find better duck, ente, kachna than at Koliba. It's not available every day, so call before you go, but go anyway! It's tender, juicy, meat, its thin crispy perfect skin will delight your taste buds. It's not on the menu, make sure you ask for it. If they don't have it, everything is excellent. I hate duck at most restaurants. It is occasionally acceptable. At Koliba, it's traditional European preparation will make you change your opinion about duck. Brought with red cabbage and knedliky (dumplings). My wife had beef with dill sauce and extra dill sauce haha which is homestyle cooking in Czech tradition. Excellent pivo (beer) too of course. Started with garlic polevka soup and sauerkraut soup, great beginning to the meal. We've been here 4-5 times over 15 years and they have never disappointed! Note that I couldn't resist taking a taste of the duck before I took the picture haha!

This restaurant is wonderful. Such a great, authentic ambiance and delicious food. The pierogies and goulash are so good - we order them almost every time. Cheap house wine and draft beers offset the expensive entrees, but they're worth the cost anyway (and they're photogenic too).

Authentic Czechoslovak cuisine and beer. The ambiance is amazing and brings you back to the old folk times in Czechoslovakia with ceramic, wooden drawings and many other decorations lining the walls.

The wait staff was also fantastic. Two friendly and beautiful waitresses took care of the small restaurant. They spoke in Slovak or English, whatever worked for the customer. They are happy and enjoy what they do which makes the experience that much better.

Their food was excellent and in plentiful portions. I had the garlic soup (cesnaková polievka), dumplings with sheep's cheese (bryndzové halušky) and Czechovar beer. I would come back again the next time I am in town.

If you want to try a taste of Czechoslovakia stop by this restaurant, you won't regret it.
