Lavang Opens in Downtown Dubai with Modern Indian Fine Dining
By: Iuliia Turasova
Downtown Dubai welcomes Lavang, a fine dining Indian restaurant that blends traditional flavours with modern flair. Founded by Diviya Kalra, the daughter of celebrated chef and restaurateur Ashok Kalra of Kuwait’s Mughal Mahal, Lavang is both a tribute to her heritage and a fresh take on Indian gastronomy.
The restaurant is named after the clove — a small but powerful spice that represents the heart of Indian cooking. With Lavang, Diviya channels her culinary upbringing into a dining experience that is polished, thoughtful, and rich in flavour.
Located in the heart of Dubai, Lavang’s interiors are as bold as its flavours:
- Towering 12-metre ceilings
- Cascading chandeliers
- A colour palette of turquoise, beige, and white
- Polished marble and gilded detailing
The atmosphere strikes a balance between grandeur and serenity, inviting diners into a world of understated elegance.
The food at Lavang is rooted in classic Indian cuisine but designed for a contemporary palate. Expect familiar favourites, reimagined:
- Pani Puri and Jalebi Chaat
- Malai Caesar Salad
- Wild Sea
- Mangalorean Crab and the Chicken Tikka Trio
Each dish is plated with care and precision, highlighting the depth of Indian spices while embracing international techniques. Whether you’re craving nostalgic dishes with a luxurious twist or simply looking for an impressive new spot in Downtown Dubai, Lavang is worth a visit.
