This place hit the spot just rite. Clean place, friendly employees and jovial owner. But best of all finger licking good food. We entered with all employees wearing masks as well as gloves and hand sanitizer bottles all around the place. They had seating indoors as well as outdoors. We ordered fish masala and katakat with naan and romali roti. The food was just delicious. I think they say this is Mumbai inspired Street food. Since I've not been to Mumbai so I'll take them at their words. However, I can tell you that katakat and romali roti were what you would expect in karachi. Just delicious! Also fish masala was delish! And naan was one of the better ones I've had in this area. Can't wait to go back and try some more dishes off the menu. read more

Not worth the money! All the dishes we ordered tasted the same ( same masala in all). I couldn't get through the Kati roll, and realized the paneer Mirch masala had the exact same taste and masala. I don't mind paying premium for quality but this place disappoints. Not sure why there is so much hype. read more

Ordered a paneer roll for $8 and was a bit sisappoimted by the small size. Lyckily the mango lassis are a decent size for $3.

Modern fast food format but sit-down restaurant quality. Clean location. Prices aren't bad. Service is ok, not overly friendly or welcoming, but sufficiently polite. Good quality of food overall. It's a good place to grab a quick, fresh, and tasty meal. It's a win if you don't have the time to go for a buffet or fancy-schmancy meal. Bottom line: Go for the food and the speed. read more

Your food for my party was beyond my expectation. We ordered all biryanis (veggie, goat and chicken) with pineapple, mint and cucumber raita (yogurt). Ordered cocktail samosa and hara bhara kabob for appetizer. Shahi tukda for dessert. You all were very professional. On time delivery. Everyone loved your goat biryani and shahi tukda!! Thank you!! read more

The vada Pav at the Herndon locate was okay but then u I tried the pav bhaji at ashburn location It was soooo goood read more

Yummy. I had the lamb shawarma burger and also tried the Tava Bhuna Masala which was a delicious lamb dish! The spices were amazing and I highly recommend this. I would like to see them get iced tea on their menu, only have hot tea. Nice friendly people. Great service. read more

Excellent food. We were there last night with my family. I got their 'samosa chat' which was spot on. The hot crushed samosas with yogurt and a culmination of spices and drizzled with zesty pomegranate. I also sneaked in more than a few bites of my husband's bhelpuri. I was able to enjoy the multifarious blend of different ingredients in their bhel while still retaining the crunchiness. My daughter had a recommended paneer dish. Can't remember it's name. The paneer was drenched in a colorful creamy sauce that my daughter loved and wanted me to replicate at home, as soon as she had a bite. I promised to take her back again, soon. Also, I am a rice person and even their white rice ( which came a side with the paneer dish) was cooked to perfection. It had a hint of cumin and cardamom. I could be totally wrong about that it, but it tasted sooooo good. The golgappas ( panipuri) were amazing. Took me back to my days back in Calcutta. Felt like I was having Mumbai food in Calcutta! They held their shape and did not break even after being soaked in the liquid. It was a wonderful combination of tart dates and the mint coriander concoction. Seemed like a busy place on a Friday evening. Will definitely be there again to try their other dishes. Took some pictures. They were not great, but I am no photographer. read more

See all

Amazing Indian food & experience! This is a classic in NOVA for sure! The Pani Puri is out of this world! 10/10 would recommend

Worse food ever high price no taste and this comments not because waiting my time it's just to other customer's knows about this before they wast their money id you guys looking for Raat food so please don't waste time and money I've ordered one lamb palao, one chicken cream roll, one chicken tikka pizza, now there are no sizes for pizza alright but that taste like they put chicken curry on top of pizza bread and then they put some cheese on top which taste doesn't taste like pizza now next chicken cream roll Oh My GOD instead of roll it was medium size double bun inside was some cream and then micro pieces of chicken that not the roll that's kind of chicken spread bun sandwich. Next lamb palao i would say 6 out of 10 that was not taste of palao number one second that was basmati rice mixed with lamb curry ni palao taste at all wasted my money and my mood and my time. read more

My favorite place to eat authentic Indian food. They have the best biryani rice and Naan bread.

Wow. Just wow. This restaurant is now on our "must go back" list. I had the Samosa Chaat and he had the Mughlai Korma with lamb. The chaat was sweet and savory and full of texture. The Lamb in the korma was tender and the sauce had a perfect balance of heat and sweet. The portions were generous and very filling. When I went in to pick up our order, the staff was super friendly and my order was ready on time. As they were retrieving my food, my eyes were drawn to a cooler in the corner which contained a wide array of delicious looking cakes. I couldn't resist and bought one that was mango and another that was flavored with cardamom and sprinkled with pistachios. They were SO GOOD. Very light cake layered with mousse-type filling. The cardamom cake reminded us of shahi toast. I know that we are just average white Americans who don't really know much about food from India so we can't speak to the authenticity of the food but we know we like it and we will absolutely go back. read more

The food is always good. The staff is always helpful. My only critique is the cost is slightly higher than I would expect for a fast casual restaurant. read more

Worst chat I have ever had. It was colda and tasteless. Sev puri just had bland boiled patato on a flat puri. Dahi puri was no better. Putting chole in chat is not Mumbai style. This is not Mumbai style chat. read more

I love this place for some good Indian food. I am really happy with their service and food. Everything is high quality including the service. I love the burgers from here as well as other items on the menu. They offer delivery and pick-up. I usually call in the order and pick it up. The food stay warm in their storage containers. Will definitely come back for more food and amazing service read more

Great food and service. The Mumbai street food tastes authentic and the paneer pizza is awesome. Portion sizes are significant as well.

Food was very full of spices more indian style than anything else. But my downfall was I brought it home which is almost a hr away which took away from the freshness of the food. read more

This place opened up in July and I'm really happy it did. I'm new to the area and was looking for good, decent halal Desi food. The interior is clean and designed well, prices are decent, and the food is actually really good. I ordered the Bhindi fry (okra), pav bhaji, channa, and a couple pizzas. Certainly coming back. Even if you don't keep halal, it's typically a higher standard of meat so all is good. read more

The food wasn't that outstanding. I have had better Indian food at other fast food joints. The chat serving was a good size , the chicken biryani was all sauce and not much rice which didn't taste good and we didn't like that at all. The naan and The shrimp fry were decent. Overall pretty mediocre food. Now for the customer service - the server/cashier was very rude and lacked basic etiquette. The guy clearly had an attitude and showed it pretty openly. Will never go back there. If you cannot treat your customers with respect then there is no reason why I should spend my money there. I ain't asking for special treatment. Just cordial and respectful. I don't think it's too much to ask if you are in the service industry. Very disappointed. read more

Best Indian food in the area, love the consistency and always tasty. Best items are following Lamb Bhuna Shrimp Bhuna Chicken Polau Samosa Chat read more

This restaurant surprised me in a good way. I went in with little expectation of having a good meal. We ordered bhel puri, samosa chat, junglee hoagie, Kati roll with chicken, bheeja masala and seekh masala. While the junglee hoagie was a disappointment (it was room temperature chicken and very little flavor), the Kati roll was delicious. Bheeja masala was one of the best I have had in DMV. The samosa chat was our favorite and seekh masala was flavorful and had the right amount of spice. We also ordered pani puri, amu cheese pizza (for the kids). The pani puri it was decent (nothing too amazing but also not a disappointment) but the cheese pizza was a hard pass for even the kids. The restaurant was clean. They have outdoor seating with heaters too. The service was quick. I would make the trip again to try more options. read more

Food is alright. BEWARE of place phone cake orders. They would write your credit card number on the order slip and then just throw the slip in trash without even tearing or shredding the slip. There is a HUGE fraud issue here and not to mention that the restaurant is running into PCI compliance issue! I will rethink next time! read more

This was the 2nd time in 1 week that we got food from here. Great food, a fresh change in Ashburn, not your typical Indian restaurant but actually an interesting and diverse menu. We have tried many of the sandwiches etc and very happy. Prices are reasonable! They are practicing social distancing and wearing masks. read more

I'm a Kokni form Mumbai so that's the review viewpoint. The food is excellent especially the shrimp Tava fry. The bheja masala and lamb bhuna masala are also excellent. read more

Fabulous! Very authentic! The portions are huge, and the prices are very reasonable. Try it. You will like it.

The food was so good and on time delivery. I highly recommend this place. Try and enjoy .

So glad to have such fresh & tasty Indian food place in Ashburn. Brings back memories of eating chats and sandwiches from Mumbai beach stalls! True Bombay style street food, long awaited & very much welcomed in Ashburn. Tava offers abundant veg and non-veg options with generous portions. We were able to reserve 2 tables for outside seating. Gracious owners came out and chatted about their vision of the street food concept. Highly recommend Tava Fry. We will definitely be coming back, thank you!! read more

Had ordered a pick up order. Service is good and food is alright. Too much oil/clarified butter and spice do not add up for a sumptuous meal. Pav Bhaji was the only item we liked and rest rolls and burger was just not good. Had better expectations with street food but turned out to be another Indian spin off restaurant. Might try again something else to give another try. read more

Awesome food! Best street food, Tava Pulav, sev puri, pav bhaji we had. Great service, good quality food and clean place. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Great new spot! loved the food! If you haven't gone yet YOU ARE MISSING OUT! I got the garlic nan it was perfect the cooks and staff are so nice! They make you feel at home! read more

I absolutely love this place. I have eaten at several places around the area and they have the best Indian food. Great customer service, clean, prompt, and didn't make me wait long with the pandemic. 10 out of 10. Would recommend this over any other Indian food in the area. read more

Worth the drive. For awhile, it has been hard to find a restaurant that serves good Indian food, and most people don't even realize it. Tava hits the mark. Looking forward to them expanding to Falls Church... read more

Incredible food, excellent service! The Naan Chaap is really really good and the Rasmalai cake is out of this world. We ordered Bhel with some hesitation because we have found it to be a hit or miss at other places but the Bhel here was very fresh, not soggy and perfectly flavored. Would highly recommend it! read more

Immediately blown away, service and food was outstanding! I look toward to being a regular! Best Indian food in Nova!

Its just mediocre in flavor. Lamb kati roll was likely made from leftover curry and had whole pieces of cardamom that had to be spit out. "Chicken shwarma" is actually red colored bland chicken tikka. Also felt it was overpriced for kati rolls. read more

Great food! Friendly service! Super clean environment! Definitely recommended! Came to this restaurant once and promise I'll be coming back many more times with friends and family! read more

This is my new favorite place, not only if the food amazing but the customer service is great! I had tried then chicken tikka pizza and shrimp masala And they are to die for! read more

This has been a good restaurant. Have tried a few things and they all have been tasting great. Can't wait to try out other things on their menu items and hopefully update the review to a 5 star. read more

We liked this Bombay street food esp Tava items. We ordered Bhuna Gosth, Bheja, Romali Roti, Dahi Puri, and Ragda Patties all good a bit spicy but worth it read more

Have tried pav bhaji, mumbai pizza and mumbai panini sandwich. All of them were average in taste and did not taste like it was freshly made.
