Delicious, freshly made, traditional food. The dumplings are the best!! Lovely cafe and friendly, warm service with a smile and good chat. A great addition to the Govan food scene.

Overview
ZAPIEKANKI is a small Polish takeaway on Langlands Road in Govan, built around the namesake open-faced baguette (zapiekanka) plus pierogi and other home-style plates like hunter’s stew. Reviews repeatedly call out generous portions for around a fiver, friendly owners, and food that fills the Krakow-street-food gap in Glasgow. It works as a quick weekday lunch or early evening pick-up rather than a late night out: recent listings show roughly noon–7pm, with Sunday closed and Saturday hours varying. Google ratings sit near 4.9 from a modest review base. The shop passed a Glasgow City food hygiene inspection in September 2025 (FHIS Pass). Expect a short classic Polish menu suited to walk-ins and takeaway. Diners often mention pierogi, zapiekanki (sometimes with kielbasa swapped in), and the warm welcome from Dorota and the team.

Not had any Zapiekanka since being in Krakow, and had been keeping my eyes peeled for a place in Glasgow and my goodness was it worth the wait! Very nicely I was allowed to have kiełbasa instead of pepperoni, and it was well worth. Lovely hearty and warming food designed for Scottish weather! The staff were incredibly friendly and chatted away to me about why they started the shop. For a fiver this made for a filling and well priced lunch. It’s a small menu, of classic Polish food suited for a quick bite. Thank you very much, I will be back for the pierogis!

This place is an absolute gem in Govan. The pierogis and hunter’s stew are next level. So much flavor, warmth, and nourishment in every bite. Dorota is so kind and caring as well, making you feel really welcome.

Went to grab a quick bite, ham zapiekanka was amazing and the freshly squeezed juice was delicious! Very nice atmosphere inside
