At the heart of the Qavali restaurant, sits an exquisite bar area
Legend has it, that this is the place where age-old stories come to life. We honour them with a generous range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails, all of which celebrate unique flavour combinations, as well as the joy of a beautifully presented beverage. For the wine connoisseurs, there is an extensive wine list; and also a range of spirits and draught beers.
So, do bring your loved ones along – to a place where Indo-Persian history is celebrated and refashioned. We’ll be waiting with bar snacks and plentiful smiles; and look forward to clinking glasses with you.While we are happy to welcome children, they need to remain seated at the table. Unfortunately due to the nature of the restaurant and decor, we are unable to accommodate babies, prams or strollers.
