Empowerment is on the menu this September. ❤️

We’re proud to be part of Kitchen Possible’s Kitchen Possible September fundraiser, joining restaurants across Chicago to support their work with kids through cooking.🧑‍🍳

Kitchen Possible teaches children ages 8–12 in under-resourced Chicago neighborhoods not only how to cook, but how to set goals, follow a plan, ask for help and believe in what they’re capable of.

At Anelya, $1 from every Crayfish Deviled Egg sold this September will be donated to Kitchen Possible.

So come have a deviled egg and help us support a great organization doing meaningful work in our city.

See you at Anelya this September. ❤️

New in the menu 🌟

🥟 This time Varenyky - our handmade dumplings, filled with caramelized sour cabbage, served with a creamy walnut & mushroom sauce, sautéed chanterelles, and toasted walnuts.
Just couple days in the menu, but already is everyone’s favorite!

🍖 And new version of Halushky now is made of soft potato sough, stuffed with slow-braised lamb and served in a rich lamb broth with fresh green ajika and crispy shallots.

It’s always exciting to bring something new to our menu, but what we love even more is seeing you enjoy it.

Come by Anelya and share a warm, cozy dinner with us. We can’t wait to hear which dish becomes your favorite 💖

Our guests have been asking for Napoleon Cake for a long time….

Starting this weekend, you’ll find it on our dessert menu.

Made in house with delicate layers of buttery puff pastry and our baked sour cream pastry cream, it comes together into a soft, melt-in-your-mouth dessert. Finished with a touch of rose petal syrup for a light floral note.

We think it’s the most romantic dessert of the summer. We hope you’ll love it as much as we do. 🤍

Meet Dacha (Дача) 🤍

In many families, Dacha is a place where everyone gathers outside the city in summer time. To share a meal, celebrate, relax, and spend time together. That’s exactly the feeling we wanted to create with our private dining room.

Dacha is a cozy, completely private space for birthdays, anniversaries, baby showers, family dinners, reunions, or simply getting everyone around one table.

It seats up to 16 guests for a family-style dinner or up to 23 guests for a standing cocktail party with snacks and appetizers.

We can customize the menu, put together a cocktail or w**e package, or even organize a private w**e tasting to make your celebration feel just right.

Available Wednesday through Sunday.

If you’re planning something special, we’d love to host you 🫶

BIG NEWS 🇺🇦🍷

For the first time at Anelya, we are proud to pour Ukrainian w**es! It is exclusive! Outside of Ukraine itself, these bottles can only be experienced at Anelya.

This collection brings together some of the most exciting modern Ukrainian w**eries, each rooted in the unique terroirs of Southern and Western Ukraine.

✨ FROM THE MYKOLAIV REGION — Beykush Winery **ery

Located on the unique Cape Beykush, with shores washed on one side by the Berezan Estuary and on the other by Beykush Bay, the w**ery is known for its experimental, small-production w**es that have become symbols of modern Ukrainian w**emaking.

Represented at Anelya by:

🍇 Artania — elegant, layered, and beautifully balanced, with bright fruit, soft spice, and a long, refined finish.
🍇 Telti Kuruk — made from a rare indigenous grape once nearly forgotten. Crisp, mineral-driven, fresh, and deeply connected to the history of the Black Sea region.

🎾 FROM THE ZAKARPATTIA REGION — Stakhovsky Wines .w**es

Founded by former professional tennis player Sergiy Stakhovsky, this w**ery represents a new generation of Ukrainian craftsmanship and passion.

Represented at Anelya by:

🍷 OW Cabernet — expressive and vibrant, with refreshing acidity and delicate aromatics that make it incredibly easy to fall in love with.
🍷 ACE Traminer — a bold and structured natural orange w**e with rich character and remarkable depth.

🌊 FROM BESSARABIA, ODESA REGION — Villa Tinta **ery

A w**ery dedicated to preserving and reviving local Ukrainian grape varieties from one of the oldest w**e regions in Eastern Europe.

Represented at Anelya by:

🍇 Odessa Black Alibernet — deep, velvety, and powerful, with notes of dark berries, spice, and smoke. A true taste of Southern Ukraine.
🍇 Odessa White Sukholimansky — floral, fresh, and aromatic, with bright citrus and soft stone fruit notes, made from a uniquely Ukrainian grape variety.

These w**es tell a story of culture, resilience, history, and modern Ukraine poured into every glass.

And honestly, there may be no better pairing than Ukrainian-inspired food and Ukrainian w**e. 🇺🇦✨
