Dinesh Arora

Three years of Qavalli, and what a beautiful journey it has been! From the first daawat to countless tables filled with laughter, plates passed around, glasses raised and mehfils that stayed with us long after the last note-every moment has been made special by the people who walked through our doors. What began three years ago as a vision has grown into a place filled with memories, traditions, music and moments we’ll always cherish. To everyone who has dined with us, celebrated with us, returned to us and made Qavalli a part of your stories-thank you. Here’s to three years of your love, our virasat, and countless more daawats and mehfils to come. 🤍 Qavalli turns 3.

Honored to be recognized as the Best Nightlife Entrepreneur of the Year at The Big F Awards 2026! A moment of pure gratitude for this incredible milestone. 🏆✨

Building Qavalli into a space of extraordinary experiences has been a journey fueled by passion. Every night, every detail, and every memory brought us right here. 🥂✨

This award belongs to all of you—our amazing patrons and team who bring life to our spaces every day. Thank you for your endless love, votes, and support! ❤️🙏

At @qavalliraipur, Mughal grandeur meets the soulful spirit of Sufi culture in a setting designed for unforgettable evenings. Located opposite Magneto Mall in Telibandha, this upscale fine-dine restaurant and bar brings together heritage-inspired arches, soulful Qawwali nights, and a menu rooted in North Indian and Mughlai traditions. From Shahjahanabad Murgh Tikka Biryani and Kadhai Khurchan to Khameeri Roti and handcrafted cocktails, every detail feels like an invitation to linger a little longer. With Jashn-e-Qawwali, Noor-e-Qawwali and Daawat-e-Shaam, Qavalli is among Raipur’s must-visit restaurants for regal dining, live music, rich flavours and an evening steeped in heritage.

At @qavalliindore, every evening feels less like dinner and more like a mehfil unfolding in slow rhythm. Draped in regal hues and old-world charm, this space blends indulgent North Indian flavours with the soulful pull of live Sufi melodies. Think rich curries, fragrant kebabs, and cocktails that feel almost poetic — all served in an ambience that leans unapologetically royal. It’s not just a place you dine at, it’s a place you arrive at — for conversations, celebrations, and nights that linger long after the last note fades.

Honoured to receive the Restaurateur of the Year award 2026 at the Times Food & Nightlife Awards, Delhi. Grateful for this recognition and for the continued support, trust, and encouragement from our incredible team, guests, and well-wishers. Thank you, @timesfoodandnightlife , for this honour.
