PLEASE COME IN TIME!!!
About the Dishes:
Chebureky: A beloved dish of Crimean Tatar cuisine, chebureky are deep-fried turnovers filled with ground or minced meat and onions. Shaped in a signature crescent, these savory pastries are a popular street food throughout Eastern Europe.
Varenyky: These Ukrainian dumplings are made by wrapping unleavened dough around various fillings, like potato, cheese, sauerkraut, mushrooms, or fruit, then cooking them in boiling water. Varenyky are often served with sour cream, fried onions, or both, adding even more flavor to this comforting dish.
