Every corner of his house represents a place he has been to or is going to visit. World-classics books, scooters, an old piano, graffiti and paintings by Kharkiv artists, a collection of clocks, a fireplace and designer furniture. It’s always more interesting than at home, but as cosy and warm at the same time. The cuisine has a bright personality of Middle East. It’s the meeting place of hundreds of ingredients and combinations in different interpretation of classical dishes from Morocco, Israel, Iraq, Egypt, Turkey and Greece. You will see Lebanese tabbouleh, Israeli hummus, Moroccan shakshuka, bourekas, which have already become iconic, and Palestinian baba ganoush.
