Kava has gone the traditional way to serve their dishes in pots and pans made of copper. They have gone out of their way to recreate the magical experience of the city.

The menu is cyclic and promising, with a new dish every day, in order to incorporate nearly every Hyderabadi dish by the end of the festival.
