Move over beachfront: word on the street is that this is the place to share a cocktail with<br \/>friends.<\/p>\n<p>Located on Cape Town\u2019s quaint and arty Church Street, Awara\u2019s early-evening allure is in that it\u2019s \u2018a high-end location where the communal sharing of tapas follows seamlessly after a cocktail or three have broken the ice,\u2019 says owner Dr Sabi Sabharwal. So take a seat and peruse the drinks menu \u2013 whether you like your cocktails shaken, stirred or on the rocks, the names will delight, from Pani Puri Gin and Masala Old Fashioned, to Love in Goa and Kerala Dreams.<\/p>\n<p>Look further, to the ingredients, and you\u2019ll notice that the fruits and spices that make Asian-fusion cuisine so deliciously unique do double duty in these libations. Hibiscus, tamarind, mango and dhania are delightful additions. Highly recommended are the coy cardamom-scented Blushing Lady, the sweet lemony Awara Elixir, and the granadilla-soaked Porn Star Mojito, a lime-free nod to Bollywood.<\/p>\n<p>Feel like something savoury to go with your cocktail? Then cast your eye over the tapas menu. \u2018Particularly popular are the Crispy Okra, a chickpea-battered okra with potato straw fries, the Chicken Satay, with red and green curry marinade and signature spicy peanut sauce, and the Lamb Kofka, a minced-lamb kebab with dhania and green chillies,\u2019 says Sabharwal.<\/p>\n<p>If you were familiar with Bukhara, which occupied the same inner-city location for over two decades, an immediate vibe-change will strike you on entering Awara, which is casually chic and very today. Named after the 1951 Bollywood movie Awara (The Vagabond), this is an exclusive venue where adults can meet and socialise in a stylish space (children under 12 are not permitted after 18h00). But the authentic feeling of a visit to Mother Asia remains, as evidenced by the enticing spice aromas wafting from the kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>Vibrant, trendy, and already a drawcard for its classic curries and fusion tapas offerings, Awara, with its tongue-in-cheek cocktail menu, is fast becoming a top choice for after-work revelry.<\/p>\n<p>Awara is located at 33 Church Street, Cape Town city centre, and is open Wednesday to Saturday between 11h00 and 23h00, and Sunday to Tuesday 11h00 to 22h00.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/contact\/featured\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"post-views-icon dashicons dashicons-chart-bar\"><\/span> <span class=\"post-views-label\">Press Release Views since 1 July 2022:<\/span> <span class=\"post-views-count\">92<\/span> <\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/unwind-with-the-elixir-that-is-awara\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republish for Free Republish This Story Republish our articles for free, online or in print, under a Creative Commons license.
