Podil East India Company

Kyiv


As the name implies, this American-owned place in the heart of Podil's bar district offers drinks as well as food with an Oriental twist. It's American owned but inspired by the likes of Maugham and Kipling. At the back is an intimate room where couples speak in hushed tones.
