TAVA Cuisine of India

We had a wonderful lunch buffet today with our group of nine, and everything was absolutely delicious! The variety of dishes was impressive, offering true, authentic Indian flavors with just the right amount of spice. Our favorites were the flavorful chicken soup, the perfectly cooked goat dum biryani, and the refreshing fruit salad dessert. Omkar and Vijay were courteous as always, checking in multiple times to ensure everything was perfect. The staff was friendly and attentive, making our experience even better. If you’re looking for genuine Indian cuisine and great service, I highly recommend this restaurant!

Absolutely delicious food and great service! Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and authentic. The curries had just the right amount of spice, and the naan was perfectly soft and warm. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. Easily one of the best Indian restaurants in Richmond — highly recommend for anyone craving real Indian flavors!

Really like this restaurant! As a big Indian food person I enjoy a lot of the basic items like samosa's and other but Tava also has a lot of unique dishes which were also very good. As will all Indian restaurants there are a lot of vegetarian options and also a lot of healthy options. The atmosphere is very relaxing and the service and staff were very helpful and friendly. Great addition to the Short Pump area. Parking is easy and there is also a nice bar and plenty of comfortable booths and seating. You will love this place!

We recently celebrated our son’s birthday party and had a wonderful experience! The staff were incredibly cooperative and friendly, ensuring everything went smoothly. Everyone loved the food—it was absolutely top-tier. We highly recommend this place if you’re planning an event. Go for it!

We organized a party for our parents And they really made our day. It was very relaxed. The service was awesome. The food was really good and they have really nice section inside the restaurant where we can have a private party.. The gathering was around 25 people and they can have a party for around 50 to 75 people easily.

Absolutely loved the experience! The live unlimited panipuri took me straight back to the streets of India. The mango sunrise mojito was perfect for summer, and the chicken fried rice tasted just like Indian street food. The service was excellent, super friendly and quick. The whole experience felt warm, welcoming, and full of flavour. I’ll definitely be coming back again — and bringing friends along next time. Highly recommended! 🙌🔥

I googled and searched on Reddit for the best buffet in the Richmond area, and while this seemed like more of a niche choice, I can’t imagine anything being better. This buffet was so good! There are plenty of options for vegetarians, pescatarians, and non veg eaters. There’s a good variety of flavors. The staff was really friendly too!

TAVA is my new favorite Indian restaurant. They have only been open for take out for two months and dining in for one month. As you can see from the photos, we ate out of the paper plates since they just received the dishwasher the day before. None of the obstacles changed how the food was delivered. Everything we ordered was well prepared and the flavor was satisfying. We loved the Chicken 65, it has perfect flavor and tenderness. Gobi (Tandoori Cauliflower) was delicious, it went well with the meat dishes. I always loved a well prepared Goat Curry dish. They definitely have delivered. I was a little disappointed with Chicken 65 Biryani. It could be better and it was slightly salty for my taste. The Bullet Naan has a little kick to it. I didn’t taste the cheese in the Cheese Garlic Naan, but it was still good. You have to try their Mango Lassi, it was so GOOD!
