Tabla

TLDR: Roach. I was served water with a dead cockroach in it. I’ve heard some good things about the food at Tabla, so I decided to give it a try. upon being seated, we were given the menu and glasses of water. The lighting was a very dim inside the restaurant, so I didn’t notice it at first. But my friend pointed out there’s something in my cup. At first, I thought it was just a housefly - which can happen in up-to-code kitchens- but upon closer inspection, I realize it was a cockroach. I was disgusted and quietly notified the server. Definitely will not be going back to this location.

This is the best Indian food we have ever eaten, anywhere! (Admittedly, we haven't been to India). It was creative, beautifully presented, and delicious. Service and menu was great as well.

Excellent Excellent Excellent. Food, service, food was amazing. Get the tandoori shrimp. Lamb shanks & Whole fish was amazing. Don’t skip the sticky toffee pudding.

We were about to book seating online, but there were so many available times that we thought we’d just walk in. There were no seats available when we walked in even though we saw some open. They probably didn’t have enough staff for the tables. That’s why they couldn’t seat us, but there was a spot at the bar, I am thankful because the bartender was excellent. He was probably better than any server we would have had. He was very knowledgeable about the food and help me pick what I thought I would like. everything came out unique and different than what I was expecting. I almost thought it wasn’t my order which was a great surprise. Okra Appetizer- cut very fine and fried with Greek seasoning on it. Delicious. Mash potato stuffed peppers were very unique looking, but because the seeds are still in them they were too hot for me. A cool dish nonetheless. Lamb kebab- I’ve had better, but this was flavorful and very fair priced. I ate it all. Goat Pot Pie- OMG so much flavor, so clever, so perfect with rice or any Naan bread they have is heavenly. Onion stuffed Naan-utterly amazing. How did they get those onions into that bread, it’s magic lol. Dessert- Sticky Toffee Pudding was not all that. The icing on top was caramel and it is delicious but the little cupcake taste like a Ryebread cupcake, the icing really saved it and it is kind of small like a basic cupcake in which the bartender did give me a heads up, but I wanted something sweet, I ate it all as it was edible, but not my favorite. Clean restrooms, great drinks, dark date nite vibe lighting, nice establishment, cultural appropriate people working in kitchen. I’ve had this place on my list for some years, but never went because I don’t like curry. A lot of dishes had curry in them as I expected but the dish I had with curry didn’t taste heavy on the curry at all. I am bummed because I waited this long to try this place and I’ve been missing out. Definitely five star across-the-board. Some items can be expensive when you get a couple of things, so choose wisely or come when you have a few dollars in your pocket lol. I highly recommend this restaurant. Food came out so fast, it was like they knew what we wanted or something, geesh. Even the dipping sauces are delicious Vegetarian options: Have a whole vegetable section on menu

I had a great dinning experience here. I was able to be seated immediately, despite it being a Saturday night. The food was great and came out quickly. Service was fast and friendly as well. I would highly recommend. You can smell how good the food is all the way from the street.

The food was sooooo mmm mm good!! We ordered drinks, apps, and fish curry and shrimp tikka masala entrees. My Mumbai nights drink was delish! Only downside for me is that my server poured the water and didn’t return til my friend arrived (10-15 mins later) and I was trying to order for him before he arrived a little late. I’ll definitely be going back though.

Main course is amazing. We tried Paneer Pasanda and Dal Bukhara. Naan are great as well. Appetizers could be better. We tried Palak Patta Pakoda and Brussels Sprouts Bhel.

So at the front desk they gave us complementary ticket for the parking for two hours and it was less than two hours and we scanned it and it didn’t work so we paid with our credit card and then we went back in the restaurant to talk to manager he said he cannot do anything anymore and we asked for the refund they didn’t even help us with that and started making accuses, be careful they are trying to make people fool by giving this parking ticket which doesn’t even work.

The menu was definitely interesting. They had dishes that you don't necessarily see in the typical Indian restaurant -Lamb Shank for instance. The first was presented very well. As for the taste, it was good but not great.
