Behind every great Ukrainian dish is a recipe passed down by someone’s baba. At DON’YA Ukraine’s Kitchen, many of our most popular items—like cabbage rolls, varenyky, and nalysnyky— made the same way grandmothers in Ukraine have prepared them for generations.
Our team includes Ukrainian newcomers who learned to cook at their grandmother’s side. Today, they bring that same attention to detail and love of tradition into our kitchen in Edmonton. The dough is still rolled by hand, the ingredients still measured by instinct, and the flavors still evoke memories of home.
In times of uncertainty, food becomes an anchor. For many refugees working at our restaurant, making traditional Ukrainian food is not just a job—it’s a way of keeping culture and identity alive. By sharing these dishes with locals, they’re also sharing stories, heritage, and heart.
From baba’s kitchen to DON’YA Ukraine’s Kitchen, the legacy continues. Guests often say our food reminds them of childhood or loved ones. That kind of connection is why these recipes endure.
In a fast-moving world, food has a special power to slow things down. It lets you pause, enjoy the moment, and feel the warmth of home. A good meal brings people together, creating joy and meaningful connections.
Come and taste dishes that passed down through generations with love and care. These time-honored recipes have nourished families and kept traditions alive for centuries. Now, they freshly prepared for Edmonton at DON’YA Ukraine’s Kitchen.
