Our Story

Chef Andrey Kravchenko was born in Ukraine and grew up in Israel, where he began building a deep connection to Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavours.

Today, ThinkOFood is built around one simple idea: Bring the quality of a great restaurant to your table - without you lifting a finger.
