“Named after my grandmother, Anelya represents a crossroads of nostalgia, heritage and the modern cooking styles that my wife and partner, Chef Beverly Kim, and I share. This restaurant started as a popup to provide humanitarian aid to the region, but has become a way to preserve our culture. We can’t wait to introduce you to food with the essence of what Anelya cooked for us, as we become a part of your own family’s story in Avondale and beyond.”

Warmly,

Chef Johnny Clark

Dine

Comforting favorites inspired by old-world cooking

Start your meal with a curated selection of beverages like a bottle of trendy orange wine from Slovenia, or head to the bar after work for a craft cocktail like The Muse with gin and beet kvass.

Our appetizer cart will roll to your table to start the meal with over 10 bites beckoning to be picked like our fan-favorite smoked carrot paté or sunflower seed hummus.

Our main dishes offer a variety of homestyle flavors just like your mother made from thick soups to layered pasta and fluffy Ukrainian garlic bread.

Metric coffee and a flaky pastry like our Napoleon with black tea pastry cream invite you to finish the meal with hours of good conversation and a dining room that feels like home.
