Café Delhi Heights, renowned for redefining culinary experiences across India, has unveiled its latest venture, Sarava, in Assagao, Goa. Nestled in a century-old Portuguese villa, Sarava beautifully marries the essence of Goan heritage with the global comfort food Café Delhi Heights is celebrated for, offering a one-of-a-kind dining destination.

Since its inception in 2011 at Crosspoint Mall, Gurugram, Café Delhi Heights has expanded to 43 outlets across 14 cities, earning a reputation for innovation and diversity in food. Sarava adds a new dimension to this legacy, inviting guests to embark on an immersive sensory journey in the picturesque setting of Assagao.

Signature dishes such as the smokey Fish Tikka, Tangra Style Chilli Paneer, and Kerala Tawa Fry Fish pay homage to regional flavors. Classics like the Dhansoo Veg Seekh and the indulgent Old Delhi Butter Chicken bring comfort to the table, while innovative creations like the World of Mushroom elevate the dining experience with caramelized oyster mushrooms and kale chips.

Creative Cocktails and Exceptional Coffee

Sarava’s bar menu is a showcase of innovation, with cocktails like the Jackfruit Negroni, a bold blend of gin, white rum, and jackfruit-curry leaf cordial, and the Smoke Break, a smoky mix of bourbon and Jägermeister.
