Céad míle fáilte · Our story
Made in Cork. Made by hand.
Golniva started with a simple idea: Cork deserves flavours it hasn't tasted yet. Dumplings folded one by one, kebabs off the grill, flatbreads blistered in the pan, bright green chutney — and golden sweets to finish.
We're a small online kitchen in Cork. Every dish is prepared here and brought to your door by our own team, with every allergen labelled — and nobody leaves the table hungry.
