1998
Qaswa Hills opens in Vijayapura
Founded by the Group of Rahamatullah, in the shadow of Gol Gumbaz.
Our Story
A royal kitchen,
a Vijayapura address.
Qaswa Hills Restaurant is a unique Arabic & Mughlai dining experience, rooted in the heritage of the Adil Shahi dynasty.
Located in the premises of Hotel Pearl, opposite the iconic Gol Gumbaz, our restaurant pays tribute to the royal "Tahasildar's" — the then-revenue servants of the Adil Shah Dynasty.
We prepare a variety of soups, tandoori appetisers, sizzlers, main courses of seafood, Chinese dishes, mutton and chicken — as well as biryani, noodles, roti and bread. Each dish is hand-crafted, slow-fired, and served with a side of Vijayapura's legendary hospitality.
Founded in 1998, the Group of Rahamatullah has grown Qaswa Hills from a single Vijayapura address to four cities. The spice blends, the cooking methods, the warmth — all have stayed the same.

What We Stand For
Four small promises.
Slow-fired, always
No shortcuts. Our tandoors run for 8 hours a day, every day.
Hand-rolled
Kebabs are rolled by hand, spices are ground in-house.
Local & seasonal
We source produce from the region — Vijayapura's farms and dairies.
Service, not service-y
We treat guests like family. That's the Adil Shahi way.
