When you dine at DON’YA Ukraine’s Kitchen, you experience more than just authentic Ukrainian food. Every meal supports refugees who have left everything behind and are starting fresh in Canada. Our restaurant was created to provide them with a place to heal, work, and build a new future through the power of food.
We employ Ukrainian newcomers who have fled war, often arriving with little more than hope. In our kitchen, they find stability, purpose, and the chance to rebuild their lives. Every perogy pinched, every cabbage roll wrapped, and every dish prepared carries a story of strength, resilience, and cultural pride.
Our customers are more than guests—they’re part of a growing community that believes in compassion. Whether they come for the comforting flavours or to support our mission, they leave knowing their meal has made a difference. Each plate served strengthens the bond between cultures and brings people together.
Every dish we serve—borshch, holubtsi, nalysnyky—is made using time-honoured recipes passed down through generations. Cooking these meals allows our team to hold onto their heritage while introducing Canadian diners to authentic Ukrainian flavours. It’s more than just food—it’s a celebration of culture and identity.
At DON’YA Ukraine’s Kitchen, food is just the beginning of something bigger. Every meal builds bridges, offers second chances, and brings warmth to those who need it most. Even in the hardest times, there is always hope on the table, ready to be shared.
