Thava Indian - Johannesburg

Butter Chicken, Makni Dhal, Biryani was Delicious. The finishing touch was the amazing taste of the Masala Chai.

This is the most delicious authentic Indian restaurant I have eaten at in a long time. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. I had a lamb vindaloo that was superb. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Overall experience was not as expected due to the fact that I had heard exceptional review about this place and has high expectations even before I had my first bite. The quality of ingredients was good but the prepared food was average. Quality of Roti was average and even the portion size was small. Curries were prepared well however they were either very sweet or very hot. The chef did use extensive chilli while preparing a vindaloo dish dish which has a spicy base but not hot per say). If in the area I will visit once more to experience the good food that I was told I could get here. I just hope it was a odd day for them that day .

Service and food seems to have slipped a little since my last visit. The restaurant was also less full than before. Prices have increased by a large percentage, perhaps the reason people feel the value for money is no longer there.

It’s a shame I didn’t get to visit the restaurant but I am so glad I took take away! The food was very yummy and so happy to see that there was a variety of dishes from north to South Indian! Loved the chilli chicken and butter naan. If in Johannesburg defo one to try!
