Bijoy Majhi, Bhupesh Jain and Rajnish Taneja, have created a space to provide exquisite Med- European dining and bar experience to the food lovers after Angels in My Kitchen.
You'll cross the bakery on your way up to the first floor outlet of Ca Va. We were the only ones when we walked in and got pampered and were still pampered after more patrons came in.
We started with Virgin Mary and Mango Passion Martini.... Well made drinks which were followed by some lovely dishes selected by my friend.....
Chunks of chicken, peanuts and garlic in paper thin shells of fillo pastry with hand-ground pesto..... This my readers, was just f-a-n-t-a-s-t-i-c... and had me going at it like a bear to honey.... The Chicken was tender n well cooked, the pastry crispy and sauce yummy..... the peanuts added to the bite....
The Pan seared Prawns with Spicy Barbecue Sauce was delicious... succulent, flavourful and brilliantly done. The bread basket which had an Olive Focaccia, Wheat n Bran Bread and Garlic bread served with Herb Butter was nice but not great enough to rave about or poke holes about.
The Home smoked Breast of Chicken with sliced Mexican Jalapenos Pizza was well done.... just that the crust was slightly like a quesadilla, would have preferred it slightly more crisp base (just a personal preference) and the Chicken Leg Steak with Red Wine Sauce was also nice. However my friend found the mashed potato insipid .....
We devoured all the food on our tables n left nothing but a few crumbs n mashed potatoes....
For dessert I wanted Tiramisu..... I ordered it only after checking if it'll be served in a glass and not a plastic cup or something.... When the plastic cup came, I was very disappointed.... Since it was from the bakery below, we weren't charged for it.....
The taste was nice but the fingers were absolutely soggy n not crisp.... only good(read bad!) enough to feed the pigeons outside the window....
Now for some nit-picking..... The toothpicks arrived in different heights.... My friend had this bright idea of taking it in perspective to show the variance in height.... ;) Now thats what 2 people do on a well spent Sunday afternoon with tummies full and pampering... They are spoilt and will nitpick and want a perfect experience.....
That's me enjoying the Tiramisu..... and since modesty doesn't feature in my middlename.... The Tiramisu from my kitchen is much nicer..... but this one's not bad either considering I can enjoy it without having to slave in the kitchen myself and then waiting overnight for it to develop flavour....

Just a word of caution... The place is slightly on the expensive side but the experience was nice overall including Food, Service and Decor. Would give it a 3/5.
PS - The place also has discount for Amex card holders
