    The menu is build-your-own style, so you really can't go wrong. The tikka and daal sauce are fantastic -- and if you can't choose, get them both! That's the beauty of Tava, it's completely up to you.

    Like chipotle but with Indian flavors! Gluten free items are labeled and they'll let you taste anything. Will definitely go back!

    A chipotle-style approach to Indian food. And it's really good. Great place to grab a quick bite to eat.

    Get lamb AND chicken in your burroti, ask for only a little rice, and get the combo with a mango lassi and chips.

    Don't try to fit everything into a burrito... It will explode. Ask for things on the side instead :)

    Get the Tika Chicken Burroti and only put cucumber, tomatoes and lettuce. It's delicious, slightly spicy and yet it feels fresh.

    Delicious, but don't plan on getting anything done for a few hours after eating here, other than a nap or a food coma.

    Chicken tikka was a tad spicy. Good enough for quick bite. Bowls are less messy than burritos.

    They were not kidding when they called it the tava "lava" sauce. Tongue is on fire, but I enjoyed the spice.

    As of April 2016 menu completely changed and new one is nothing to write home about. No burrotis, bowls, etc. Overpriced veggie plate wasn't filling. Still fast service, but I won't go back.

    Pretty sub standard food. Paneer was rock hard and what's with the chipotle style serving. Looks goopy.

    Slow service, and my burroti was unflavorful at medium spice. Nice idea for a "chipotle" of Indian food, but I wouldn't recommend it.
