Kawali Restaurant at the Grand Hotel

About Kawali Restaurant at the Grand Hotel

The Grand Hotel stands on Queens Parade at Seaburn, directly above the beach and the lower promenade, and is part of The Elite Venue Selection group of hotels. Its restaurant, Kawali, is open to non-residents and looks out over the promenade towards the North Sea.

Kawali serves what it describes as a home-made Asian fusion menu, combining familiar dishes with Asian-inspired cooking: starters such as chicken satay and prawn toast, mains including Thai green curry and katsu curry, and traditional puddings such as sticky toffee pudding. Afternoon tea is served in the hotel during the day. The restaurant took part in Sunderland Restaurant Week in both March and September 2026, when bookings were required 24 hours in advance. It suits a sit-down evening meal on the Seaburn side of the seafront, and it is a short walk from Seaburn Metro station and the Queens Parade bus stops.
