The Bangladeshi community in Poland consists of migrants from Bangladesh to Poland and their locally born descendants.[2][3] In 1994, illegal migrants from Pakistan and Bangladesh arrived in Poland through Ukraine on the way to the west on a Soviet helicopter.[4][5] Bangladesh has sent skilled migrants to Poland, including trade trainers.[6] In recent days many Bangladeshi migrants have established successful kebab businesses throughout Poland. This type of kebab has become a popular fast food, especially among young Poles, due to its affordability and quick preparation. Moreover, several skilled Bangladeshis are operating management and business development consulting firms, primarily in Warsaw, Krakow, and other major cities.[citation needed]
