A Decade of Delicious Indian Dishes – Cava Indian Restaurant’s Closure

After a decade, the much-loved Cava Indian Restaurant will close its Queen Street doors on Sunday 23 June. Their closure comes as a surprise to the region, with hundreds of locals taking to Facebook to share their saddened reactions and messages of support.

Jyoti Sharma announced her business’ closure on Tuesday 4 June, explaining the decision was not made lightly, and expressing her immense gratitude to the community, and to the customers who became family since 2014.

Devastating the community, Cava’s closure will leave the Burdekin without a specialty Indian restaurant for residents and travellers to enjoy.

The family will be leaving the Burdekin region towards the end of the month and are planning to move interstate to be closer to relatives in Melbourne.

“The community is very sad about the news, we’ve had lots of people just call up, and send lots of messages, everyone is really sad that we’ll be closing our doors,” explained Cava’s owners.

“Thank you so much for all the support, thank you to the locals and the travellers, and we’ll really miss the community and everyone here but it’s time for us to move on.”
