NEW DELHI, DECEMBER 2023: Walk into a gold and auburn oasis of lavishly upholstered walls, dramatic drapes and cosy alcoves. Glistening chandeliers illuminate this majestic setting, with gilded bar fronts on both sides, ensuring that every guest is treated like royalty. Don’t miss the wall that pays homage to the legendary ‘qavvals’ of our times and reminisce in the days gone by over drinks made from the root to the bark. This is the season for fine weather, big appetites and timeless memories. Come make memories at Qavalli with a slew of heartwarming dishes that are perfect for the frosty days ahead. Every season brings with it a bounty that is good for the mind, body and soul and winter in Delhi is all about fresh greens, hearty lamb and world class fish and seafood.
This winter indulge in a seasonal classic like Mutton Kharode, slow cooked mutton bones and hooves, seasoned with aromatic spices to create a broth that is both rich and deeply wholesome. The Palak Channe ki Chaat is an homage to the freshest spinach of winter combined with the sweetest of fresh peas in a melee of chutneys and yogurt. The Dilli 6 Matar ki Chaat is a local delicacy from the streets of Delhi, sweet, spicy and tangy, all at once. This is also the season to celebrate vegetables like Broccoli seared into a decadent Koyla Kebab and an absolute vegetarian delight. For non-vegetarians there is nothing better than the aromas of coal, the Dhungaari Murgh Tandoori and the Dhungaari Salmon Boti will transport you to meals by fire places, cooked over coal, savoured over long conversations and laughter.
For the main course, the Shahi Methi Malai Makai is an ode to the lightly bitter but deeply flavourful fenugreek leaves that are a seasonal special and the Gucchi Malai Matar which will fill your heart with pure joy. This is also the time for great catch, the Mahi Rezala Korma, fish cooked in a rich creamy curry, tempered with desi ghee. The true stars of our winter selections are the Haleem and the Nalli Nihari, slow cooked mutton ribs blended with broken meat to make a smooth and luscious dish and mutton shanks simmered overnight over coal, topped with fresh ginger, green chillies and crispy fried onions. Add a side of Palak Gosht ki Dum Biryani to bring more love and warmth to your meal and finish with Kesari Phirni. This is how we serve the finest produce of Winter at Qavalli, a place where stellar cocktails meet the culinary legacy of Awadh and the timeless music of Qavvals.
