We had such a great experience here. We arrived just as they were closing the restaurant so they could bring in a private party within the hour. We were disappointed because we were traveling and a friend had suggested the place. When we mentioned this to Ibrahim, he kindly offered to seat us if we would order and eat quickly. We agreed. Ibrahim made menu suggestions and the staff treated us like special guests, bringing us dishes that "you have to try". All of the food was fabulous. I especially loved the black-eyed pea dish that is an award-winning signature item. If I lived in Atlanta, Id eat here every week.

Last Satday evening I had a bad experience with staff of this restaurant. Ive ordered 2 items for take away. Theyve told that they will deliver them in 30 mins but even after 50 mins they didnt and when Ive asked them to cancel my order again took 10~15 mins to do so. Simply theyve wasted my 1 hr and the guy who posed himself as manager showed lot of attitude that they are busy on weekends. If they had told me before taking my order Id have saved this 1 hr of my weekend evening. Generally Im not interested in writing reviews but their worst attitude made me to write this feedback.

Seriously delicious! Four guys so we shared 4 entrees, 2 appetizers, and three desserts. For me, the standouts were the chora chat (a black eyed pea appetizer), the lamb pasanda, and the shrimp katakat (so delicious). Highly recommend! [Edit after second visit] In my opinion, this is flat out the best Indian restaurant Ive ever been to. I love so many of the dishes, especially the lasooni gobi and the shrimp katakat. Ive been back, with friends each time, and we all agree that this is the best food weve eaten in a LONG time.

Incredible! I tried the Tava pulao with chicken and although the chicken was sparse, the dish was the tastiest Ive had! Similar to biryani and suggested by my server, Asma, who was extremely attentive. The crispy black-eyed peas small plate was delicious and unexpected, since I am not a fan of black-eyed peas but read a review raving about them. Very deserved praise! They also served a complimentary plate of chips with what I believe was a cilantro/tamarind sauce... yummmm. What a great place! So glad I stopped

The food has been very well executed each time. The sauces combine spices with bases that make for rich savory bites. Mainstay dishes such as butter chicken and saag (paneer or chili) are present and although there isnt much derivation there is sufficient diversity to make for a fulfilling dining experience. Despite having minor issues with service during some visits, I return due to the quality of the superb food preparation. Overall a great food experience but service can be improved some for consistency.

I feel Indian food is made better at home but this place is something else.. Tava is the only Indian place I felt is the best food wise as they make everything with so much heart and soul of the chef.. it wouldnt be wrong if I say their food is best in Atlanta area.. Their staffs are very friendly and their manager Valeryian is the best. And the ambience is pretty decent too. Their Tava shrimp and jalfarazi chicken is to die for

Fantastic place and good service. I met the owner on the way out and she has a passion for food and bringing in a new type of dynamic to Indian food. In fact, she told me where the meat for her restaurant comes from so I walked down the strip center to the halal market and picked up some lamb. Keep up the good work.

Excellent service and great food. Chicken Tika Masala, which was tender and flavorful, is not on the menu, but they will make it for you if you ask. Loved the Nihari shredded lamb sandwich - it was fantastic - and the Butter Chicken was spot on. Just found my go-to Indian restaurant in Decatur!

Mukhtar Voss

Extremely tasty with exciting options. I was really impressed with the quality of the meat dishes, the quantity, and that each one came with two roti. Im bringing all my friends and family back! I had lamb pasanda, hara chicken tikka, and shrimp katakat. All perfect 10s!

Service was little slow today but the food is always amazing! Apps Bahari Chicken wings to (my favorite) , lamb kabobs. Entrees Lamb Passenda, Hara Chicken and chx and paneer Toka for the kids. The kids meals were really mild. The food was great!!!

Love this place and reasonably priced lunch special. This is one of my regular lunch spots when working in Tucker area. Friendly and peaceful environment. Only complaint, more freshly made chips and sauce on starter because it is really delish.

Service and presentation are great. Masala chips was a nice touch. Tried out a couple of appetizers, dhaniya chicken and bihari chicken wings. Portions are right sized; prices a bit on the high side. Taste is ok to good. Would recommend trying.

The cauliflower app was spicy and delicious. We also had the Lamb specialty and butter chicken, both very good! For dessert, dont miss the cottage cheese dumplings. Service was perfect. Well be going back again soon!

Small serving for the amount you pay. Some dishes were disappointing and compared to other fine dining Indian restaurants, very highly priced. Service was slow and very laid back. Anyway, some food was decent

My Service

Food was fast, flavorful, and our server was so soft spoken and adorable. The organic flavors really come through, the price was ok. A family of four had lunch for a total of 47 dollars including 22% tip.

Very friendly and attentive staff. Peaceful and open atmosphere. Food was great. They even treated me to a plate of their chutneys which was delicious. All for a very reasonable price. Thank you Tava!

Limited menu. Very less options. Tried behari wings, was over cooked and less spicy. Main course was good. Specially the nan and roti. Very sweet and professional staff.

Tasty food, good service, reasonably priced. A hidden gem in Patel Brothers plaza. And the complimentary chips and chutney when you dine in are a nice touch.

Stephen Joiner

Really disappointing. Tiny portion of overcooked chicken and dry rice. Sauce was bland. The picture I included shows how little food you get for the price.

Rakesh Ravikumar

Service was extremely slow. Food was ok but service was very poor. Our waitet kept assuring us by saying the food was almost done but to no avail.
