I loved the atmosphere in this restaurant it is gorgeous! I felt like I was walking into a Michelin restaurant with top chefs. But that is where it stops.
The food for some reason tasted gamey to me. I had the butter chicken and my friend ordered a masala, we also got an appetizer sampler which was pretty good except for the lamb.
I also ordered the Lassi Madness drink which was awesome, perfect blend of mix with coconut cream.
Our waitress seamed like she didn’t want to be there or like something serious happened to her and was not feeling her job that day.
There was another lady that was there that was very pleasant and checked in a couple times.
I’d go again and try something else to see if the flavors change for me and I will update this review.

I’m confused about TAVA. The saag paneer, chicken tikka masala, spicy lamb masala, naan and basmati rice were very good, flavorful etc. But the veggie momo tasted rotten. The bottom of the pan was filled with rotting lettuce. We called TAVA and asked for a refund on the momo. They didn’t seem at all concerned about the rotting lettuce. We asked again for a refund. They said we would have to DRIVE 30 mins back and forth to return the food, and only then would they consider a refund!!!! It was $17. This food was INEDIBLE. It was below freezing outside. I’m disgusted and will never go here again. You eat some rotting lettuce next time 🙂 also, we dropped over $100 at this place.

Great food and atmosphere. Nice interiors and very professional service. We loved the Village Goat Curry – if you can handle bone in goat it’s wonderful. We tried the butter chicken and also had a wonderful dish of stewed cauliflower, potatoes in a saffron or curry spicy. Not to be missed is there naan. Fresh baked to order and comes in a ton of different variations. We had the onion garlic naan and it was great. Will definitely be back. The menu is… enormous if I tell you there are 100 items I am probably not exaggerating. But our server was a good guide and gave the perfect recommendations.

TAVA Fresh Taste of India is a fantastic lunch spot! We ordered salmon tandoori, chicken makhani, lamb masala, garlic naan, and basmati rice — and everything was delicious.
The salmon was perfectly cooked, and the lamb was tender and flavorful. The highlight was the chicken makhani; its rich, creamy sauce was absolutely divine. The garlic naan was warm, soft, and full of flavor, perfect for scooping up the sauces.
The ambiance was relaxing and inviting, making it a great place to unwind during lunch. Service was excellent — attentive but not intrusive. Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic Indian cuisine!

Went here frequently when they had the buffet. But even now without a buffet, the food is hot, fresh, and delicious. Tandoori chicken is always my favorite and they definitely do it right. I went when it was pretty much empty inside, so it was quiet and had fantastic service from the waiter(s). Clean as can be, including the restroom (which I think speaks volumes about any establishment).

OMG! One of the best Indian restaurants I have been in one year in Illinois! Good, kind staff. We had a bit of issue with the order, but the manager fixed it right away. The food was amazing, not greasy, yet delicious and healthy. Dessert -Kheer was Devine! Out of the world. Creamy and yum, also just about the right amount…Going to bring all my girl gang again soon, and the kids when they visit home… Great job teem Tawa!!

I had a really disappointing experience here due to inconsistent rules and unprofessional service.
The day before this visit, I came with three people, ordered one lunch bowl and naan, and shared it. There were two employees working and no one said anything about a no-sharing policy. We were never informed such a policy even existed.
The very next day, we returned with five people. There were three adults and two children. The three adults ordered two full bowls, and the two children were going to share one bowl, since ordering two separate bowls for them would have resulted in a lot of wasted food.
As soon as I mentioned this, a staff member became hostile and said sharing wasn’t allowed unless the children were under 10, which they are. yet she still insisted both children needed their own bowls. After more back and forth, she suddenly said the children sharing one bowl was “fine,” but continued arguing that there is a strict no-sharing policy for the adult bowls.
I explained that we had done the same thing the day before with no issue and were never informed of any policy. We were even buying an additional bowl compared to the day before. When I asked to speak to a manager, she wasted so much time and called them and then claimed the only reason we were allowed to share the previous day was because we ordered sides like samosas or chicken skewers, which is completely false!! We ordered only the bowl and naan. And, we still wanted to order naan during this visit.
Between the inconsistency, the rude attitude, and being lied about, we chose to leave. It honestly was really frustrating having to deal with that while taking your family out to a restaurant. The restaurant lost at least $50 in business over something that could have been handled politely and clearly from the start.
If you have a no-sharing policy, it needs to be clearly stated and consistently enforced, not selectively and not with hostility. This experience was frustrating and disappointing

The paneer lababdar here was simply amazing, served fresh and bursting with flavor. The roti was also freshly made and delicious. The ambiance makes for a pleasant dining experience. My only downside was that the waiter seemed to be rushing me to place my order. I walked in at 8:15 pm, and they close at 9 pm, so I understand the timing, but it still felt a bit hurried. Overall, the food is excellent but the service could be a little more relaxed.

It’s a lovely relaxing dining experience. There are so many items on the menu to choose from including vegetarian and vegan items. I went mid week and had one of the luncheon special bowls. The food is served, piping, hot and delicious.
