Preparations for the operation of the restaurant are underway, the equipment is currently being assembled and the menu is being prepared, and as announced, stuffed lamb, romaine stew with herbs and a special pilaf will be the most prominent dishes.
In February, the opening of the first restaurant with Roma cuisine in the center of Thessaloniki is planned. The restaurant "Amalin" is the culmination of long-term efforts of the Dendropotamos Romani Women's Association to integrate women belonging to vulnerable population groups in society.
This will be the first non-profit Roma restaurant in the second largest city in Greece, and it will be cooked and served by women from the Dendropotamos neighborhood.
"It was our lifelong dream. The association has been fighting for the inclusion and promotion of good practices for 20 years. What could be better than highlighting the traditional Roma cuisine", said the president of the Dendropotamosa Roma Association, Gianula Maga.
As he pointed out, Roma cuisine is special and worth trying, and this important community project will also be supported.
"It is the best way to show society that we are part of it. That we are not invisible. Roma women will work in the restaurant. When I say socially vulnerable, we are also talking about ex-prisoners. We will give them support to find their way", she stressed.
Preparations for the restaurant are underway, the equipment is currently being assembled and the menu is being prepared, and as announced, stuffed lamb, Roma stew with herbs and a special pilaf will be the main dishes.
"Amalin" should open its doors on February 4, 2023.
