Tolani Wine Restaurant
In South African slang, Tolani means too good, and that is exactly what this UWS gem is: an unpretentious spot you simply can't get enough of. Drawing from the very best flavors, techniques and ingredients from each corner of the world, Tolani Wine Restaurant's menu brings a culinary adventure to your backyard, marrying authenticity with ingenuity.
Filled with small to medium sized plates meant to be shared, the menu is best experienced as a journey around the world. Start in Greece with a grilled octopus salad, hop over to the West Indies with goat curry and mango, shoot over to the Maghreb for a duck pastilla and shoot pea salad, enjoy a T-bone cooked Brazilian-style or perhaps a Thai Green Papaya and cucumber salad with crisp rice peanut sauce.
The space at Tolani was imagined and created in two distinct divides – the upstairs is a semi-casual bar meets lounge, while the downstairs lends itself to the fine-dining experience. Both on and off-site catering is available. Tolani’s eclectic ambience and reputation are credited to its unique and authentic dining experience.
With its versatile and globally inspired menu selections Tolani illuminates and draws distinct flavors the world over. By pairing any of their dishes with their extensive wine varietals, we are confident your dining experience will as the name Tolani implies be “Too Good.”
