Avli by tashas’ Shared Table Dinner returns to Bahrain Harbour on Tuesday, 22 September, with a three-course Mediterranean menu served family-style around one long table. If you haven’t been to one yet, the idea is simple: one long table, one set menu, and a room full of people who mostly walked in as strangers.
The Shared Table Dinner happens once a month at the award-winning Greek restaurant, and the menu changes each time, so regulars get something new to try even though the format stays the same.
How the Shared Table Dinner Works
Forget booking a table for two tucked in a corner. Everyone eats together at a single long table, and the courses come out family-style, meaning dishes land in the middle for the table to pass around rather than plated per person. It works just as well for solo diners as it does for couples or groups of friends. You don’t need to arrive with company. Phones are meant to stay in pockets for the night, and the whole thing feels more like a dinner party than a restaurant booking.
Avli by tashas takes its name from the Greek word for courtyard, and the Bahrain Harbour site was built around that idea: an open, gathering-style space with arched doorways, marble floors and views straight out over the marina.
What’s on the Menu for 22 September
The three courses this time round:
Starters (sharing plates)
- Green Salad
- Tuna Carpaccio
- Lamb Keftedes
Mains
- Miso Seabass
- Lemonato Baby Chicken
- Gemista
Dessert
- Chocolate Parfait
- Baked Cheesecake
Partway through the evening, Chef Vlassia brings out a dish from her own family recipe and talks the table through it. Guests leave with the recipe itself, so it’s less a tasting and more something you can cook again at home.
