Qavali is an Indian restaurant and bar on Broad Street in Birmingham, named for the devotional musical tradition of qawwali. Its richly decorated dining room draws on the cultures and historic connections of India, Persia and surrounding regions. The setting is designed for an immersive evening, but lunch, brunch and afternoon tea provide several other ways to experience the restaurant.
Indian and Persian flavours meet most clearly on the charcoal grill. Koobideh kebab combines minced lamb with aromatics such as onion, nutmeg, peppercorn and rose petals, while chicken tikka and lamb chops bring different marinades and textures. Large mixed platters allow a group to compare several grilled meats alongside chutneys and salad.
Curries include Delhi style butter chicken, lamb rogan josh, paneer karahi and slowly simmered black lentils. Biryani, saffron rice and freshly baked naan turn those dishes into a complete shared meal. Vegetarian choices are woven through the menu rather than isolated, with falafel, hummus, aubergine, paneer, chickpeas and vegetable dishes appearing across starters, mains and tasting menus.
Desserts such as baklava, Turkish delight ice cream and Persian chocolate brownie continue the journey through rose, pistachio and warm spice. Cocktails, alcohol free creations, wine and tea offer pairings for both the à la carte menu and longer tasting experiences. Qavali’s distinctive strength is the way its food, drinks and theatrical interior all support the same Indo Persian story.
Address: 60 Broad Street, Birmingham B1 2HJ, United Kingdom
