I think there are two parts to TAWA and we were in the back/quiet part. The other part (bar/lounge) has music, a big bar and is much livelier, which we didn't want! We never even saw it-our friends arrived early and were seated in the back so that's where we ate. Delicious Indian food, served well. The Manchurian cauliflower is a must. Cocktails were delicious (martini, manhattan and specialty cocktail-a margarita of some sort that was delicious), but took a very long time to be served (20 min). Great samosas, tikki masala (we had shrimp tikki masala which was interesting and good, but few shrimp), saag paneer wonderful and the portions were generous, including the rice so we didn't have to ask for more. Will go back for the kebabs which sound amazing too!
