Al Hamra, Scottsdale

Al Hamra connects Eastern and Western traditions by pairing eight signature cocktails with aromatic Indian and Pakistani cuisine. The restaurant takes its name from a Spanish palace and, like the royal court that once dwelled within it, puts an emphasis on entertainment. Live music permeates the space as the wait staff ferries about tandoori entrees and classic chicken, lamb, seafood, and vegetable curries. At the bar, glowing, backlit shelving illuminates both the colorful libations and the decorative drapes and artwork that adorn the walls.
