As soon as you as your feet touch the Brazilian cherry wood floor in the candlelit restaurant, you feel the ambiance.A roaring fire crackles in the fireplace. Conversation is abundantly shared along with fragrant Indian dishes. There is no mistaking these familiar authentic Indian aromas and spices as they waft from the kitchen, where the Tavas are busily clanging.Tava(h), tawa(h) is actually a Persian word for a large, convex, disc-shaped griddle or fry pan used primarily for cooking traditional South Asian dishes, especially flatbreads from countries such as India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Turkey and Afghanistan.
