- No Comments on Tavora – A Place That Is Loved
Every once in a while, a name finds you — not the other way around.
For us, that name was Tavora.
In the heart of Africa, Tavora means “the place that is loved.”
And that simple, soulful phrase captured everything we wanted our kitchen to stand for — warmth, belonging, and the joy of food made with heart.
When we started Tavora, we weren’t just building a brand — we were creating a bridge between cultures.
A place where African and Indian spices meet, where slow-cooked flavours tell stories of both continents, and where every dish feels like it’s cooked for someone you love.
A Culinary Journey Led by Chef Nicole Gonsalves
At the heart of this flavorful journey is Chef Nicole Gonsalves, who brings with her over 26 years of international culinary experience with some of the world’s finest food brands.
Her approach to cooking is deeply personal — she believes that great food is never rushed.
In Tavora’s kitchen, meats are slow-cooked with patience and precision, ensuring every bite retains its natural nutrition, tenderness, and juiciness.
Nicole’s expertise shines through in a menu that’s bold yet comforting — from smoky wraps to signature burgers and rice bowls that carry the warmth of home.
Every dish reflects perfect balance — the spice of India, the soul of Africa, and the care of true craftsmanship.
More Than a Kitchen — It’s an Emotion
Tavora isn’t just a name.
It’s an emotion — a flavour that connects people across places, a kitchen where every ingredient tells a story, and every meal reminds you that love is the finest spice of all.
Because here at Tavora, taste isn’t just served — it’s shared.
Meat You Soon… 🖤
