Reviews for Tava Indian Street Food in New Orleans, LA

Taking fusion to a whole new level. Every drink, bitters, sauces and menu items have been carefully thought out. Delicious!!!

Love this Gem in New Orleans. We’re visiting from San Francisco/Bay Area where isn’t a shortage of Indian places. However,... Tava just won us over ?????????? It’s creative Indian inspired menu had us wanting every item on the menu. So with difficultywe narrowed downs to the * started off with a delicate mango diqarii * Chaat + Lamb Vindaloo - amazing burst of chaat flavorson crispy tators spiced with toppings, some soft cooked lamb with flavorful and tamarind date and coriander chutneys cooling itall down. Very nice twist on the chaat which is classic Indian street food. * dosa classic with potato sabzi, yummy chutney andSambar, don’t forget to add the “gun powder” mix. Crisp nicely done * Egg and cheese kathi roll was the absolute bomb!Reminded me of morning egg and chapthi breakfast back home with a kick of crisp and cheesy softness * so good you'd want toREPEAT the roll- Kathi Chole - awesome ???? * chicken sandwich ohhh hmm good flavor, crisp southern style chicken infused withIndian masala. Potato chips on side are delightful * lastly the kulfi dessert sandwiched in Parle G’s brilliant!! Read more

Words can’t describe how delicious the Kati rolls are. I love authentic Indian dishes made by my friends, this is NOT that,... but it’s clever and refreshing. The taste and texture is out of this world! I’m so impressed y’all are spoiled and luckyto come eat here. Enjoy! Read more

I finally made it to Tava after drooling over the photos on Instagram and waiting for the restaurant to open. I wish the... hostess was representative of the cuisine or at least the friendliness of New Orleans. She almost turned me off from staying andenjoying my meal. In any case, my waiter Andrew totally took care of seating me, and was very attentive. He also gave amazingrecommendations from the menu. All of the dishes were absolutely delicious from the Dragon Bhel appetizer to the Paper Dosawith gunpowder masala entree to the tiny but yummy Mango Kulfi between Parle biscuits dessert to the frozen rosé or Frosé alight pink hue with a beautiful preserved blood orange slice. During my meal, Andrew mentioned that the bartender recognizedthat my drink was poured with less than what's usually served and brought me another Frosé. I very much appreciated that on awarm summer afternoon. I loved tasting the complex flavors and savoring each note as it melted down into single flavors. Ireminisced about the street foods and meals I enjoyed during my stay in India. I should have known to request my dishes to bemade spicy Desi style, as that bit of a kick and familiar flavor was missing. I'm Guyanese, so my capacity for spices is prettyhigh! I took some Dabeli Sliders to go and will definitely be coming back to try other items on the menu. Read more

Best spot to try some indian snacks in the city, food comes out fast, service is excellent, good creative cocktails . The menu... is short and sweet as its focused more on Dosa and 3-4 appetizers !! Read more

We tried tava for the first time and it was alright. Prices were reasonable but the food with limited menu and variety was... mediocre at best. We tried 5-6 different items from appetizers to street corn to chicken wings to dosa to Bombay sandwich tobehold spending around $75 bucks. We won’t be coming back… Read more

Absolutely outstanding food! I've loved their dosas for a while, but tonight had their Dragon Bhel salad with chicken and it was... ???????????? -- I'll be getting it every time I eat there now. Sadly we demolished it before getting a photo. Service was alsogreat. Read more

This is not your average Indian restaurant! I came in for the original cocktails and was not disappointed. The tamarind... pomegranate hurricane was the winner of the night, but the old fashioned with masala bitters came in a close second. The paperdosa was delicious, and you already know I'll be back to try the rest of the menu soon! The veggie options were abundant andeverything smelled amazing. Don't miss out! Read more
