About Qavali Restaurant & Cocktail Bar

Qavali Restaurant & Cocktail Bar is an Indian restaurant and cocktail bar on Broad Street in Birmingham, drawing on Indo-Persian cooking across a 56-dish menu. Stews and curries sit alongside Samsun Pide Chicken, a Turkish-style flatbread option, and butter chicken remains a recurring order. Afternoon tea rounds out the offering, built around baklava served with a range of teas and coffees. The entrance is step-free for visitors with mobility needs, and high chairs are available for families with young children. Dishes are also available for takeaway or delivery for those eating off site. The restaurant opens daily, and reservations are recommended. Guests are seated with a waiter assigned to their table for the evening.

Customer Review Summary

Butter chicken emerges as the dish reviewers return to most often, praised repeatedly for being full of flavour and cooked to perfection, alongside standout mains like the Persian Lamb Shank, Lahori Chicken Karahi and Nihaari Naan. Close behind is the baklava, which staff repeatedly bring out unprompted for birthdays and anniversaries, often personalised with writing or a candle, and the vegetarian tasting menu and okra also draw specific praise. Several reviewers highlight the afternoon tea, calling the pistachio baklava and jasmine pearl tea among the best they've had, with unlimited hot drinks included. Service is consistently singled out by name-dropping individual servers as attentive, knowledgeable and quick to arrange celebratory touches like a free birthday drink or cake. A few note smaller drawbacks: one diner found solo seating arrangements not ideal and had a nearby group's behaviour affect the atmosphere on Christmas Day, while another suggested the afternoon tea setting would benefit from lower or no background music. Multiple reviewers close by saying they plan to return whenever back in Birmingham.

    “First time eating here, I’m n fussy with my food but I have to say the food was amazing 10/10 atmosphere was really nice, drinks were 10/10 Also our waiter Savan was absolutely brilliant. Looked after us, was really friendly and to top the night off he gave us some lovely baklava for our anniversary meal. Top guy thank you Savan. Would definitely recommend eating here. And I will definitely be coming back”

    “Lovely evening at Qavali. In Birmingham for work so eating on my own but no problem to get a table for one. I had the vegetarian tasting menu which was excellent. A nice mix of flavours and textures. Lovely staff too and they gave me my hot drink at the end for free (even though I sent the first one back having not realised it had caffeine!). A great experience, I will return next time I'm in Birmingham.”
  • Monisha Khan
    “We came as a table of 16 on 12/7/26 and was met with some lovely and friendly staff members who were also attentive. The food looked and smelled amazing and tasted even better. I would also say that for celebrating a milestone, it’s perfect in terms of price and atmosphere. Would recommend.”
