LIVERMORE — People across the Bay Area finding ways to raise money for Ukraine relief efforts. The owner of one East Bay restaurant is doing what she can as well, because she shares a similar story of running from war and becoming a refugee. It’s a story that, up until, now she has been reluctant to tell.
“I can feel it. I can feel it. It’s not only for Ukraine, but for every single country that goes into war,” says Kahriman. “We went through that and we know how little things can be huge. Huge. You have no idea,” says Kahriman, as she was holding back tears.That’s why she decided to put some of the most popular dishes on a special menu, with proceeds going to humanitarian aid in Ukraine. The restaurant covers all the costs of food and labor.
“It’s pretty cool. I’ve come here all the time with her, so it doesn’t surprise me that she’d do something like this,” says Vicky Hambrick, who was dining with Billiou.
