The Tava Shop in Croydon

I recently visited Tava Shop and had a wonderful experience. It’s one of the best places to enjoy authentic Indian cuisine. What stood out the most for me was their tea – it truly has the real taste of India! The customer service at Tava Shop is excellent. The staff are friendly, attentive, and make sure every customer feels welcome and satisfied. Whether you're trying their delicious snacks or full meals, the team is always ready to assist with a smile. I highly recommend trying all their recipes – you won’t be disappointed!

Great lunch time offer. Food was brilliant. Will be back soon.

Truly an authentic experience, the dabeli and pau vada were delicious. Staff were very friendly and inviting. Will definitely be going back soon. Highly recommend!

Nice chaat items. The Rasmalai cake Is awesome.

DELICIOUS. Hardik was super friendly and recommended samosa chaat and pav bhaji to us. WILL BE BACK.

Best vada pav . authentic taste. Delicious chats . Must try gem in Croydon. Great Indian street food. Clean, friendly staff . Reasonably priced.

The Pav Bhaji Breakfast is amazing! Great service, lovely chai.

Best gujrati food ever….😍 fabulous food 👍 They provide banquet hall as well ……

Service is so good & the food they peeped is so delicious as specially muglai egg bhurjiii. & the staff is so friendly.

Best place in Croydon! They took special care of vegetarians, which I really appreciated. I’ve visited twice so far and plan to become a regular customer. I tried the samosa chaat, paneer roll, dabeli, and tea — all were delicious. Prices are reasonable, and I definitely recommend this place!

its the best food in uk . its our 5th time here and the staff was very friendly and polite .i definitely recommend this shop

Best food and also provide new servise.

Our experience was great and we tried a chole bhature and chai which tasted very awesome. 😊

My friends, family, and I all enjoy Indian food and different dishes.

It’s our 5th time in the shop the food is really good and the staff was very friendly and helpful

Very tasty chaat items And authentic Indian dishes

Best street food ever mouth watering... Friendly staff. deserve 10 Star. Offer food out of menu...come back again.., ☺️

Amazing indian street food. Loved it!!

Excellent mouthwatering food with best quality. Never disappointed. Definitely a five star

Worst Prawn dish it was spoiled please don't order it. My daughter was hungry and she had it but when I tasted one it was foul and we ended up having mouth ulcers with vomiting sensation. We were not offered any refund or replacement so please check with yours staff before commenting on the post. Me and my daughter were excited but have decided not to eat outside food anybody unfortunately :(

Love the food. Party of 6 and excellent service

Would recommend the chole bhature, mughlai bhurji

I visited Tava Shop, and unfortunately, the food was a complete waste of money. I ordered pav bhaji, and it had a strange taste I could clearly detect the taste of fungus in it. If you're planning to visit this place, please be cautious. You could be risking your health by consuming old, possibly spoiled food.

Its the best Indian fast food i had in UK. The wada pav is the best. A thumbs up for pani puri, lassi , manchurian momos, steam momos,rasmalai cake, chai is excellent…my kids loved the noodles and lassi. It fulfills the right cravings for the taste buds… If you are a mumbaikar you must trt this place…

Delicious paav bhaji, chicken kaati roll, dahi poori and paav bhurji. Quick service, friendly staff and good ambience for indoor eating.

- Sholay Bhaturay were very good and it's a shame they only serve them on the weekend. Something to look forward too :-) - the gol guppay, samosa and Indian tea was also very good. Will be going back for sure and recommend

Food is usually great but this time it was 35 minutes late and needed air frying before we could eat as it was wet from condensation. The courier did multiple stops with several orders so who knows how long the meal was en route. Disappointing

Great Mumbai Street Food and very friendly staff. Absolutely worth a visit 👍

One of the best place and food in Croydon millions times recommended

Recently returned from a trip to India and I was missing the food so much. After seeing the menu of this place, I had to come down and give it a try. They did not disappoint. 10/10 will deffo be back.

Superbbbbbbbbbbbbbb 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Staff is really good with customer

Loved the food Yummmiiiii Pav baji, panni puri, shakes, alootikki chat was best With momos, perfect taste

Yeah, the vada pav and dabeli were good. We also tried some dahi puri chat, and it was nice too. It's just a bit far from my place, which is why I haven't been back yet. But I'll surely visit again.

Amazing food. Staff is very friendly. Thank you 😊.

I’m Indian and i can confirm the chaats and pav bhaji are just as good as what you get in India!! Unreal!!!

Very tasty authentic indian street food, highly recommend!

Great food and authentic taste, we enjoyed

Delicious Indian street food at very reasonable price

The Tava Shop is a true hidden gem in the heart of Croydon! If you're craving authentic street-style Indian food, this is the place to go. The flavors are bold, the food is absolutely delicious, and everything is prepared fresh and fast. The shop itself is simply decorated yet warm and inviting. The open kitchen was a great touch, allowing us to see the food being made while also reassuring us of the place’s excellent cleanliness. The service was friendly and efficient, making our experience even better. My wife and I weren’t looking for anything overly fancy, just something packed with flavor, and The Tava Shop delivered. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in Croydon, and I highly recommend giving it a try! I’m giving five stars, but my rating is based on experiences with similar types of restaurants, casual, street-food-style eateries. Within that category, The Tava Shop truly excels!

My family's all time favourite place for a quick bite to eat.

Amazing people with amazing service and food was really good will visit soon.

Very nice and tasty food. I recommend.

Indian street food. Highly recommend pav bhaji and chole bhature. They should open branches in London city or Wimbledon to get more people to come in.

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. Update - Feb 25 - went back to try chana bhatura again and it was delicious, hence updated the rating 😊.

It would be better to increase the price than to reduce the quantity of pavbhaji. This samll cup 9£ very costly

The food had a piece of metal in it.

Food was good but felt a bit pricy . The pav paaji , jeera rice and butter chicken is yummy .

Delicious and tasty! Reminiscing of my time in Mumbai. 10/10

Indian flavours in everything we ate. Authentic Indian street food. Tried vadav pao, dabeli, sev puri, momos and the dessert (rasmalai cake) and we can’t choose our favourite

loved everything about it, will definitely be ordering again

vadapav pavbhaji is like very tasty and India steert and all items very tasty.

The order never ARRIVED even if it said so. No refunding nothing. Impossible to talk to anybody and the restaurant absolutely useless in helping out.

The best Indian street food restaurant in London and the best services and special thanks for staff and I’m recommend for chicken Chinese, best butter Bhabhi pav I love food and service I am definitely coming next time thank you ❤️👌👌💞

The tava shop, can’t say enough. Nice location and clean store.also staff is very helpful.

Just popped in for breakfast and amazed with the service and quality of food . Indian street food indeed has the best taste . Keep it up for the great service lads . Highly recommend

I stumbled upon The Tava Shop in Croydon, and wow, it hit all the right notes! We ordered Dabeli, Vadapav, Chicken Fried Rice, and Rasmalai Cake, and every bite took us right back to the flavors of India. We were a bit hesitant at first since the place was empty, but decided to grab a takeaway – and I’m so glad we did! The food was genuinely amazing, like proper Indian street food. If you’re looking for that nostalgic, authentic taste, this is the spot. Can’t wait to go back and try more dishes!

We had a great experience at the Tava Shop. The food was delicious especially the vada Pav, momos and Pav bhaji. Special thanks to Yash for serving us and recommending the dishes. We’ll definitely come back here

We went today and had such a nice food and really enjoyed every second we spent here, the guy who is at till was an amazing person with smile on his face of all time🥳🥳

Such a lovely food and best service. I recommend to visit and eat. Great experience.

Food not fresh or properly cooked.

Food quality and taste was excellent, best and authentic indian food i had in croydon. best service as well

Great food, great staff and wonderful service. Highly recommended

This has just opened in South Ealing and I absolutely love it. Everything so tasty and fresh. Chicken roll is the best as well as the chaat is amazing. This is by far the best restaurant I have ever eaten in whole of 24 years i been in england. Fresh and you can tell this is cooked with a passion. Well done Tava shop

Really nice place with an amazing food. Highly recommends

If you’re craving authentic Indian street food in Croydon, Tava Shop on the High Street is a hidden gem you absolutely must visit. From the moment I walked in, the vibrant atmosphere and enticing aroma of freshly prepared dishes set the tone for a perfect evening. The menu is packed with delicious Indian snacks, each bursting with flavor and authenticity. I was particularly impressed by their Pani Puri, which had the perfect balance of tangy and spicy. The Aloo Tikki Chaat was a delightful combination of crispiness and savory goodness. I also tried the unique Manchurian Momos, which offered an exciting fusion of Indo-Chinese flavors. For dessert, the Rasmalai Cake was a fantastic surprise—a soft, creamy treat with the right amount of sweetness. Not only is the food incredibly tasty, but it’s also very pocket-friendly, making it a great spot for a casual evening with friends. Pair your snacks with a cup of hot chai, and you’ve got the perfect setup for a relaxed, cozy hangout. I can’t wait to go back and explore more of their menu! If you're in Croydon, do yourself a favor and visit Tava Shop for an authentic Indian street food experience.

It was a good experience with proper Indian street food. The taste was amazing and also the service. As we went there for the first time, the staff even came to us personally to take our feedback about the food and overall service we received. They were very open to feedback and that was a good thing, as that showd they care about customers and they want to improve wherever necessary. We tried Chole bhature and Pav bhaji. The food was not oily like most other so called “Indian” restaurants in this area. We went during brunch m, so there was no waiting and service was quick.

It was good and cheap. If any indians in uk want to try indian chaat u must try

Lovely Indian street food .. love it

Amazing chats and their must have is their Rasamala cake .. mind blowing

Just had a lovely quick lunch here. The food was really good (with a nice kick) and the staff was extremely nice. Definitely worth a visit.

Food was really tasty and good service staff was really friendly ,,,

Delivery was ok but expected a little early as was hungry. May be the order decision was late. Anyway; enjoyed the food

This is place is definitely an authentic one for Indian flavour food lovers.

"Delicious Indian-fusion treats! Pav Bhaji was flavorful, Masala Cheese Fries were addictive, Manchurian Momos were unique, Paneer Fried Rice was creamy, and Rasmalai Cake was decadent. A must-try for foodies!"

Very good service.. and quick service.. i like the tava shop ..

Lovely place to enjoy chat, snacks and a good masala chai.

Food and customer service was excellent. Worth a visit

Wow….I’m so happy and belly so content that we went and tried the food at this place. Everything we’ve ordered was so tasty and we cannot wait to go back for more. So glad that we live close by so we can visit it again as often as we’d like. We enjoyed both the food and drinks and actually ordered more pani puri so that we can finish the mint water. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Excellent food Excellent service Thanks to the staff but in particular Hardik who served us very well

I took my 82 years old mother, the food was good a bit expensive, good vegetarian choices, we had pani poori which could have done with a bit of tamarind chutney and masala could be a bigger portion. The dahi baka were yellow in colour again a little bit of tamarind chutney would have been enhancing the taste. The dabeli was good but needed a bit more salt, the paw bhaji was lovely

Amazing food so tasty had to order several dishes twice!

The quality of Tawa Shop has gone down since it has opened. The salt and oil is more then required. Did not enjoy the food as it did not look fresh and healthy. I am dissatisfied as I used to live Bombay style and chat food. Please go back to how it was. Freshly prepared and not overpowering salt and tangyness.

As a foodie, The Tava Shop in Sutton impressed me with its delicious, well-balanced dishes. I tried everything on the menu, and each item was packed with authentic flavor. The service was outstanding, thanks to a friendly and attentive waiter who ensured we had a great experience. To round off the meal, I enjoyed a cup of Deewani Chai, which was the perfect finishing touch. If you're in Sutton, this place is a must-visit for both the food and the exceptional service.

Good food with good service… must visit 😋

The food is very flavourful with authentic street food taste. The desert which is called Rasmalai milk cake taste like heaven . Very well priced each platter and variety of option . Good ambiance. Really enjoyed the lunch

Great business selling fantastic food

We hosted a birthday party at the tava shop and had a fantastic experience. Praveen and his team were incredibly helpful in creating a custom menu with unique dishes not in their regular menu, and decorating the party hall. The value for money was exceptional, and we were thoroughly impressed with both the food and service.

I loved the chole bathure and the service. The food is authentic Indian street style and chai is amazing

Amazing food and amazing service with nice staff

Vegetarian alert!!! One of the best Indian street food in Croydon, London. Honest review. You can have nice vadapav dabeli and many more.

A great spot for an evening hangout with friends! The street food is delicious, with authentic flavors at reasonable prices. The staff is very friendly, and their thoughtful gestures really made our visit special

Excellent food and awesome service. Best spot for chats in south London/Croydon area. Must try - Pav Bhaji and Paneer Fried rice.

Never disappoint great flavours good portion will always order from here

There are very few restaurants in London where you get the authentic taste of Indian food. I am coming back in future when I come to Croydon. Keep up the good work.

Food was really awesome 👌 , Great service....hidden gem in croydon.love it😍😍😍😍

Good quality food, good service and nice n clean restaurant.....Thank you

Spicy Indian food at its best. Better than SKVP which I find to be a bit bland for my taste.

I ordered chicken momos they were too spicy to eat.i have ordered them many times before but this time was too spicy to eat.

It was amazing food, with great service and atmosphere. Took me back to India after having such a good food.
