Alex from Kyiv

About me I was born in Cherkassy, USSR in 1985. In 2002 I finished Sumy Grammar School and Sumy Art College. I then graduated at the Kyiv University of Construction and Architecture in 2008 with an architectural Master's degree.

Orang+utan Kyiv

Vegetarian sandwich bar

""Orang+utan" Kyiv is a nice small hipster sandwich bar. Trust me, I'm not a vegetarian but I've just loved their sandwiches from the first bite..."

Some nice guys opened a nice small sandwich bar in the city center. Orang+utan is vegetarian and really tasty! Trust me, I'm not a vegetarian but I've just loved their sandwiches from the first bite! Seriously, you have to try their tofu+nori and paneer+pesto ones. There are also lots of salads, hot and cold drinks, cocktails, smoothies and coffee. They also propose a soup of the day - every time it's different. Also try their speciality - spicy and fragrant homemade masala tea. Did I forgot to mention their sweets? I definitely suggest you take a couple or more of these kerob candies they offer.

The interior is simple and stylish. I like their logo and love the plants down the hall. The place is pretty tiny but cosy and bright. The staff is very friendly because it's their own business, they run the place. The audience - mostly hipsters. Mostly it's takeaway.
