Pierogi originate from central and eastern Europe. They are filled dumplings, similar to a Japanese Gyoza, with a sweet or savoury filling. Pierogi can either be boiled, for a soft texture, or pan-fried for a crispier taste.
Wawrzyniak said: “Street food is popular across the world, but the options available here in the UK are severely lacking.
“More and more people are leading busy lives, they want to eat on-the-go but they also want to explore new flavours and try new things, and that’s exactly what Pierogi Kiosk aims to do: combine the convenience of the fast food culture with authentically different cuisine that tickles the taste buds.
“For me, it’s always been about introducing diners to Polish dishes with a British twist.”
Pierogi Kiosk will be launched in shopping centres, train stations and major marketplaces. The first Pierogi Kiosk franchises will be launched in London by the end of 2019.
