After a two-year hiatus, Taki Taki has returned to Warsaw, trading its humble food truck origins for a stylish new spot in Powiśle’s Arkada Center. While it has evolved from street food to sit-down dining, its core remains unchanged: masterfully roasted rotisserie chicken. Yet, Taki Taki goes beyond the standard kurczak z rożna kiosks, reimagining chicken sandwiches with a creative flair that begs the question: why didn’t anyone think of this sooner?

The menu’s standout is the sandwich, featuring tender, boneless chicken legs marinated to perfection, roasted until the skin is crisp, and paired with their signature sauces. These are no ordinary birds either. Owner Maciej Ożóg-Orzegowski proudly sources chickens from a small farm in Karczew, ensuring a level of quality that sets Taki Taki apart. The bread, from Warsaw’s celebrated Aromat bakery, cradles the savory filling like a warm hug.

Side dishes round out the experience, with fire-roasted potatoes and fresh, house-made salads. For the purists, a whole chicken can be pre-ordered, offering a classic yet elevated option. The ambiance enhances the food, with Taki Taki providing indoor and outdoor seating, curated music, and a staff that takes pride in connecting with their guests

Warsaw’s culinary scene has long overlooked the potential of rotisserie chicken, often relegated to beach-town kiosks. But Taki Taki’s approach—melding quality ingredients with inventive preparation—proves that it can be a serious contender in the street food arena. It’s high time the humble roasted chicken gained the recognition it deserves, and Taki Taki might just be the trailblazer to lead the charge.
