The Tava Shop Reviews Summary

Location and Ambience

Pros:

• "Located on the High Street of Croydon, it's really difficult to miss this place."
• "The restaurant is small but very modern feel."
• "A great place for vegetarians. Located on the high street of Croydon, a very popular place among locals."

Cons:

• "The place may look small but packs a very big spirit for some amazing food."
• "A small joint in one of the pockets of Croydon. Great variety of Indian street food, which I feel are a bit overpriced."
• "There is limited seating place (4-5 tables), so you may have to wait your turn."

Food Quality and Taste

Pros:

• "The food tasted good, right flavours for the dish I'd ordered."
• "We tried paav bhaji, chole bhature, veg steamed momos and vada paav and trust me in Uk this was first time I had authentic Indian taste."
• "A must go place if you have cravings for snacks on Croydon High Street. Undoubtedly the perfect solution for evening hunger."

Cons:

• "Originally intended to take paw bhaji but couldn't try it as it wasn't vegan due to butter in it."
• "The vada pav had a slightly different coating but tasted delicious."
• "Saw good reviews, so went to try some food. Ordered Chana bhatura and paneer roll. Paneer roll was super delicious, Chana curry was a bit spicy but nice, bhaturas were like a shoe, they were very hard and spoilt the fun of enjoying the amazing Indian dish that is chana bhatura, shame really."

Service and Staff

Pros:

• "Service was fast waiting only for few mins. The staff even checked on us to see if everything was okay, you don't find that often."
• "Their staff is super friendly and have quick service which makes it perf place to go for all your street food cravings."
• "Wow. I really must say, I have never been as impressed with a cafe/restaurant as I have been with Tava."

Cons:

• "Food is a hit and miss. Quality and service varies entirely on when you visit."
• "Very slow service during the week in the evenings most likely due to just two lads trying their best to hold everything together. Very very slow service."
• "I had earlier given 4 stars, but now despite the price being high the quality has deteriorated as well."

Parking and Accessibility

Pros:

• "For parking- there is a paid parking area at 3 min distance."
• "Easy to reach."
• "Great friendly customer service!!"

Cons:

• "Parking is difficult around their shop."
• "I finally got to visit Tava Shop on Mother's Day. I wasn't sure what to expect but was treated to a pleasant surprise and can't believe this cool little cafe is walking distance for me."
• "A small joint in one of the pockets of Croydon. Great variety of Indian street food, which I feel are a bit overpriced."
