About this menu
Qavali Restaurant & Cocktail Bar is an Indian restaurant on Broad St in Birmingham, with a kitchen that draws on Indian and Persian cooking. The menu opens with To Begin, then moves to Charcoal, where you will find Mangal seekh kebab, and on to Hyderabadi Biryani, made with paneer, chicken, lamb or prawn. Stews follow, among them Persian lamb shank and saffron sea bass, before the sections turn to sides, bread, rice and condiments.
If you are after a smaller start, To Begin is where to look before choosing a main. Guests who like food cooked over charcoal can stay with that section, while a biryani makes a simple order. Anyone leaning towards fish or lamb can head to the stews, which is where the sea bass and the lamb shank sit. Sides is where the table can fill out, with Peshawari naan among the bread, plus rice and condiments, so everyone can choose their own accompaniments.
