This cosy Ukrainian restaurant offers the perfect balance of homely hospitality and celebratory flair – ideal for everything from office parties to family get-togethers.
Step into the heart of Kyiv without leaving East London.

The banquet-style menus are packed with traditional Ukrainian festive dishes. Think pike perch baked with cheese in creamy mushroom sauce, chicken kruchenyky wrapped in bacon and stuffed with cheese, or pork shpundra slow-cooked in beetroot kvass. Starters such as grilled goat’s cheese with pecans and pomegranate or warming bowls of chicken kholodets set the tone for a generous and indulgent meal. For dessert, sweet Ukrainian dumplings filled with Morello cherries or cottage cheese bring things to a perfectly nostalgic close.
Planning a Christmas do with your own personal touches? You’re welcome to bring your own alcohol, or the team can provide a curated selection of drinks. There’s even the option to bring in your own decorators, entertainers or musicians or let Ole Kyiv’s trusted partners help you set the scene. The warm lighting and stylish interior already provide a magical winter setting, ideal for early evenings filled with food, laughter and toasts.
Located at 145 City Road, just minutes from Old Street station, Ole Kyiv is an off-the-beaten-track festive gem that combines tradition, flavour and celebration and leaves you planning your return visit before dessert arrives.
