What is TAVA…and TAVA dining?TAVA is unlike any contemporary Indian dining experience you have ever had…or likely ever will have. 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.

The new back room was just perfect for our family's celebration! From wine to appetizers to entrees to dessert, the food, service, and ambiance were ideal! And, the team graciously accomodated numerous food allergies. To top the evening off, the servers brought out a sparkler and lead singing of Siman Tov/Mazel Tov! Highly recommend Nuovo Chicago for an upscale Kosher-dining experience.
