Manish Dave is the man behind this Indian restaurant and its noble initiative. He moved to Ukraine from Vadodara, Gujarat in October 2021 to open a restaurant for Indian students living in the country. Before the restaurant could reach and become profitable, they faced an unprecedented crisis. He provided his restaurant basement for people who needed a safe place to stay and food to eat. His message on Telegram invited people of all nationalities, “We will do our best to arrange food and free accommodation as we can. Stay united with Ukraine.”

Dave told the Washington Post he would welcome people from all walks of life. The 52-year-old said in a phone interview, “Any nationality, any person can come here and stay temporarily. I will continue to provide accommodation and food until as much as possible,” he added.

Saathiya Restaurant already has a capacity of more than 130 people in its premises. Dave and his 11-member staff prepare Indian food like Dal and Chawal for the people. They are trying to reduce the spice level to suit the taste preferences of many countries. The restaurant owner has received donations of food, rice and vegetables from the people to continue maintaining the operation of the shelter.
