Specialties
Welcome to Tahlequah, capital of the Cherokee Nation! The Kawi Cafe was started in 2007 as a training program for entrepreneurs. It has grown and is now a work experience program for re-entry adults. In 2021 we worked with indigenous food specialist Chef Nico Albert to completely revamp our menu to all native inspired dishes! We are THE ONLY place in Tahlequah to offer a fully immersive dive into the cuisine of Cherokee culture! We want to be the first to welcome you to Tahlequah and look forward to have you try our Cherokee Fusion menu!
