The Menu
Available for Lunch only , I went to Kava to try their Thali with my colleague. This was my maiden visit to restaurant Kava at ORR , though I have been to their Rajajinagar property couple of years ago.The setting was traditional and had a festive feel. There were of lot of live counters and dishes were displayed in a traditional south Indian way. I could see Filter Kapi counter among others too.
The menu here is a rotational one and keeps changing regularly with dishes from the southern states of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu , Kerala and twin states of Andhra & Telengana. Here’s how our Thali menu looked like that day.
