The design journey is further enriched by collaborations with celebrated international artists. At the entrance, hand-drawn murals by artist Alexandra Ross, inspired by ancient Greek frescos, lend the space a timeless sensibility. Suspended above the main dining area is a poetic fabric installation by Elonah O'Neil Reid, reminiscent of laundry lines in a sunlit courtyard – a tribute to the name Avli, meaning 'courtyard' in Greek.

'We're thrilled to become part of Bahrain's vibrant dining landscape,' said Tashas Group CEO and Founder, Natasha Sideris.
