Welcome to The Alcove
An intimate address where flavour becomes a feeling
The Alcove was imagined as a retreat from the ordinary — a place where considered design, generous hospitality and deeply rooted cuisine meet. Here, char-grilled tandoor, slow-built curries and the energy of the wok are served with the grace of fine dining.
Every detail, from the first welcome to the final pour, is composed to make you feel both celebrated and at home.
