We are delightful in many ways. While for some it is one of the finest speciality Indian restaurants, to others it is an amazing English Riviera retreat. And there are those that love it for its rose water and saffron marinated walls studded with themed art, red chilli flavoured chairs, buttermilk swish linen and its friendly family feel.
Imaginative cuisine, undeniably happening ambience, the flavours, the aroma, the whimsical presentation, the live cooking sounds, presented with the Lavani signature of hospitality. All come together in perfect harmony in an exciting new avatar!
