Tawa Kitchen

About Tawa Kitchen

Cambridge families tend to end up here for the food rather than the frills, and it delivers — chicken biryani, the pastry-topped version that arrives as a genuine surprise, tilapia with malabar paratha, chaat with vegetable samosas, and a mango lassi that keeps children happy while the rest of the table waits. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access, outdoor seating and free parking, and the staff are friendly and willing to dial the spice down for younger palates. Two honest snags: it fills up and gets properly noisy on weekday evenings, and portions are on the small side for the price, so this suits a treat rather than a routine feed. Service can also run slow — one visitor waited five minutes for water. If someone in your group is strictly vegetarian, say so clearly and check the plate.
