bahrainthismonth.com | JULY 2025 DINING 38 Athenian Soul Arrives Avli by tashas opens its Bahrain doors with a fresh take on Greek hospitality, artistic design and soulful cuisine, blending heritage and elegance in a new waterfront destination. Avli by tashas, the acclaimed restaurant concept by Natasha Sideris, has officially opened in Bahrain, bringing a unique blend of Greek sophistication and Mediterranean soul to Bahrain Harbour. Developed under the refined hospitality brand Harve – part of Bahrain-based Infracorp – the opening marks a new chapter for the celebrated dining brand, which already enjoys success and Michelin Guide recognition in Dubai. Inspired by the Greek word avli, meaning courtyard, the Bahrain venue is a poetic reinterpretation of communal Athenian living – offering an intimate, lounge-style setting that encourages both lively gatherings and serene, reflective meals. At the heart of its appeal lies a carefully curated interior filled with antiques and artworks that evoke a timeless, soulful atmosphere. From hand-drawn murals reminiscent of ancient Greek frescoes by Alexandra Ross, to floating fabric art by Elonah O’Neil Reid and ceramic installations by Keti Anastasaki, every design element contributes to a deeply layered aesthetic. “We’re thrilled to become part of Bahrain’s vibrant dining landscape,” says Ms. Sideris. “There’s such appreciation here for quality and genuine hospitality, which perfectly aligns with our philosophy that every guest should feel like family from the moment they step through our doors.” The launch reflects Infracorp’s wider mission to shape lifestyle-driven spaces across the region. “Avli embodies the kind of experience we’re passionate about creating,” says Abdulaziz Tawfeeqi, Senior Director of Project Development at Infracorp. “Spaces where guests feel immediately at ease, where the design and food invite connection.” At the centre of this experience is Head Chef Vlassia Anagnostou’s à la carte menu – a refined, contemporary celebration of Greek classics using ingredients sourced directly from Greece. With a vibrant selection of meze, seafood, vegan creations and slow-cooked meats, every dish is a conversation starter. Avli by tashas is now open at Bahrain Harbour. 77222111 [email protected]
