Since 2018
It started with a grandmother's tava.
One iron pan, a notebook of recipes in fading Urdu, and four generations who refused to let either go cold.
Our founder's grandmother cooked for forty people every Sunday on a single iron tava that crossed the border with her in 1947. When she passed, the tava came to us — along with a notebook of recipes written in fading Urdu. This restaurant is that notebook, cooked nightly.
1947
The tava crosses the border with one family and forty recipes.
2018
Tava & Co. opens with six tables and the original notebook.
Today
Two floors, the same six original dishes, and the same tava — still in use every morning.
“We don't cook to impress. We cook the way she did — to be remembered.”
