At a glance
Qavali Restaurant & Cocktail Bar brings Mughlai Indian cooking and a cocktail-led bar together at 60 Broad Street in Brindleyplace. The restaurant takes its culinary direction from the historic kitchens of the Mughal Empire, with a menu shaped by the food traditions of India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran and Turkey.
The cooking centres on slow-cooked curries, charcoal-grilled kebabs and biryanis layered with aromatic spices and saffron. The approach is designed around deep, developed flavours and dishes that work well for sharing. It suits diners looking for a more considered Indian meal, as well as groups gathering for a relaxed lunch, dinner or drinks.
The setting draws on Mughlai Indian art, giving the restaurant and lounge a decorative, culturally influenced character. The bar carries the same theme through a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails, alongside wine, spirits and draught beer. Bar snacks are also available, making the venue suitable for a drink-led visit as well as a full meal.
Qavali also offers an afternoon tea with a Mughlai influence. The spread combines finger sandwiches and scones with Indian sweets and savouries, with champagne available for those seeking a more celebratory version. It provides an alternative to the restaurant’s main dining experience and works for relaxed daytime occasions.
Bottomless brunch is another part of the offering, pairing gourmet food with unlimited artisan cocktails. The food takes inspiration from the broad route associated with Mughal culture, while the drinks focus on creative flavour combinations and presentation. A tasting-style visit can therefore move from small plates and cocktails to more substantial curries, kebabs or biryani.
With its restaurant, lounge and bar formats, Qavali is suited to date nights, group meals, afternoon tea gatherings and cocktail occasions. Private hire, events, gifts and bespoke catering are also listed among its services, giving the venue a wider role beyond standard restaurant dining.
