About Kyiv Social

Warm garlic aromas and lively communal chatter greet you at Kyiv Social, Chippendale's bustling hub for hearty Ukrainian comfort cooking. Regulars gather around shared tables for deep bowls of beet-red borscht, crisp chicken schnitzel lathered in garlic butter, and handmade varenyky dumplings capped with sour cream. Operated as a social enterprise, the kitchen backs every meal served with a donated plate for communities in need both locally and in Ukraine. Diners settle in without rushed booking turn times—lingering over house-infused vodka cocktails and plates of honey cake.

  • Plate-for-Plate Mission: Every meal served funds a meal for people in need across Australia and Ukraine, with front and back-of-house roles staffed by displaced refugees.
  • Unhurried Communal Seating: Reservations run without strict turn limits, encouraging long, unhurried group dinners around shared tables.
  • Hearty Ukrainian Staples: Heritage Slavic recipes center on beet borscht, buttery chicken schnitzel, pampushky, and handmade dumplings.

  • Refugee Employment and Empowerment

    The kitchen and dining room provide meaningful employment and training for Ukrainian refugees, preserving cultural culinary traditions while supporting community resettlement.

    The workers are refugees and the recipes come from home, with a modern flair.

  • Unhurried Seating Without Time Limits

    Unlike standard dining venues that enforce strict 90-to-120-minute table turnarounds, guests can relax and linger without reservation time pressures.

    There was no time limit on our booking which we appreciated as our dinners tend to need more than the typical 2 hour limit.

Hearty Ukrainian classics beloved by guests

  • Chicken Kyiv

    The chicken kyiv is a standout - crunch breading that isn't too oily and moist chicken topped with a rich butter sauce flavoured with herbs and garlic.

  • Varenyky

    We ordered the Pampushky (so good!), House-Smoked Salmon Forshmak, Holubtsi, Varenyky with potato and dill, Varenyky with pork and beef, the Kyiv-style chicken schnitty and the special pork skewers with mash and pickles. Every single dish was delicious and looked fantastic.

  • Borscht

    My top 2 dishes were the Borscht and the Goulash. The Borscht was such a delight to have and the sour cream adds a really nice touch to the soup.
