Birmingham has an extremely varied culinary scene, and we feel Qavali will be able to bring something different and new to foodies throughout the city.
“Our menu will be full of rich new dishes which have been inspired by a diverse region, which for many remains relatively unexplored in terms of cuisine. Qavali will provide a high-dining experience within an environment to match and will help further broaden the horizons of our future guests.
“We can’t wait to open our doors for the first time later this year, and hope to be able to welcome our first customers sooner rather than later.”
James Campbell Adamson, Hines, said: “We’re thrilled to be able to offer a truly unique dining experience at Brindleyplace, and can’t wait to hopefully see Qavali open its doors later this year.
“Brindleyplace has long been established as one of Birmingham’s premier leisure destinations and this deal shows that confidence remains high that the estate remains a top choice for those looking to run successful businesses in the industry. We’re looking forward to being able to welcome the public back to the estate when it is safe to do so, and to see Qavali thrive and add to our culinary scene.”
