LavShash Restaurant hosts a special event on Saturday, August 24, to celebrate Ukraine’s Independence Day. The restaurant, owned by Kateryna Voskanian, who recently immigrated to the US from Ukraine, will offer a menu of traditional dishes and live music during five seating times.
The celebration marks the 33rd anniversary of Ukraine’s declaration of independence from the Soviet Union.
LavShash’s Independence Day menu will feature popular and tasty Ukrainian and Eastern European dishes. Guests can savor delicious okroshka, a refreshing cold soup made with sour cream, potatoes, finely chopped cucumbers, and radishes. The iconic beet soup, borscht, will also be available alongside holubtsi (stuffed cabbage rolls), and goulash served with mashed potatoes. These dishes are designed to help remind Ukrainians of the comfort foods of home and introduce many local residents to new dishes from the Eastern European region. To complement the meal, diners can enjoy uzvar, a traditional Ukrainian beverage made with cooked dried fruits and berries.
The event will feature live performances by Ukrainian musical artist Inka and acoustic guitarist, Anton, who will play Ukrainian national songs.
You can make your reservation for one of the five seating times on Saturday: 11:30 AM, 1:00 PM, 5:30 PM, 7:00 PM, and 8:30 PM.
For those celebrating at home, LavShash is offering pre-orders of Ukrainian Napoleon cake, a popular dessert for celebrations, for $45, serving eight people. Pre-orders must be placed by AUG 21.
