Because nothing says “I love you, Mum” like bottomless tea, rose Turkish delight, and a cheeky Champagne upgrade.
Fortitude Valley’s most fabulously fragrant high tea is expanding its calendar—and just in time to impress the matriarch in your life. Starting in April 2025, Kazba’s cult-favourite Harem High Tea is officially available every Sunday, giving you even more chances to escape the everyday and step into a Middle Eastern daydream (one pistachio baklava at a time).
Already a hit from Tuesday through Saturday, the extra day of indulgence means you can now spend your Sundays draped in velvet booths, sipping bottomless BlakBrews and pretending you’re in a rooftop lounge somewhere in Marrakesh—with better coffee and more halloumi.
Let’s talk about this spread. Kazba’s three-tier tower of edible elegance is far from your typical cucumber sandwich affair. Think sesame falafel with tangy toum, halloumi doughnuts dripping in chilli jam, and smoked salmon latkes that’ll make your grandma’s blinis blush. And yes, there are chicken pita “tea” sandwiches—because we stan a cultural crossover.
The sweet tier? Chef’s kiss. Expect rosewater Turkish delight, dates stuffed with orange and almond, and delicate pistachio baklava that are somehow light, rich, and absolutely Instagrammable all at once.
It’s all served with unlimited specialty tea and St Remio barista-crafted coffee for just $69pp, but if you’re feeling fizzy (and honestly, why wouldn’t you?), splash out with 90 minutes of free-flow Sparkling Wine ($99pp) or go full glam with Taittinger Champagne ($119pp).
Vegetarian and vegan queens—Kazba’s got you, too.
Mum’s the word
Mother’s Day plans? Sorted. On Sunday, May 11, every Harem High Tea booking comes with a complimentary glass of sparkling wine per guest—so you can raise a glass to Mum and her flawless taste in children.
Whether she’s into Turkish delight or just likes a reason to drink before 3pm, this is your moment to treat her to something a little exotic, a little extra, and a whole lot delicious.
But wait, there’s more… Bazaar Beats now on Thursdays
Because Kazba is basically the cool cousin who always shows up with a speaker and a bottle of something bubbly, their Bazaar Beats DJ sessions are now vibing every Thursday from 4pm, as well as Friday and Saturday nights.
Expect Ibiza house meets Middle Eastern grooves, cocktails on tap, and live sets from DJ Gloria Ansell and rotating guest artists, all set against the moody luxe backdrop of Kazba’s now-iconic lounge.
High Tea with heat. Beats with bite. Welcome to the Harem.
