A Taste Of Home Since Day One

What started in 2022 as a small dream shared by two friends has grown into one of the largest producers of Ukrainian food in the Netherlands.

 

As the official European franchise of Galia Baluvana (Vesela Pani in Europe), we proudly prepare Ukrainian and Eastern European dishes using the brand’s original recipes and proven production methods, loved by millions.

 

But for us, it’s about much more than food.

 

As Ukrainians living in the Netherlands, we know how much comfort a familiar meal can bring. A bowl of borscht, freshly made syrnyky, or warm varenyky can instantly remind you of home, family, and the moments that matter most.

 

That’s why our mission is simple:

To bring the taste of home to every family living far from home and to share our passion for food with you.
