" Every visit to Tabaq has been enjoyable for me. Their authentic flavor is what keeps me coming back. I particularly like their tandoori naan, fresh from the oven; it’s an absolute must-try. The seating can be tight, but the energy of the place makes up for it. I appreciate the hardworking staff, and they always seem pleasant. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tabaq is a little gem! Although it’s located in a small food court, their food is on another level. I can't recommend their nihari enough; it's tender and flavorful. The service? It can be slow, especially on weekends, but it's worth the wait! Just keep in mind that you might have to share a table with strangers if they're busy, which can be awkward. Overall, a great place! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Tabaq after hearing good things and was somewhat disappointed. The food was decent, though it lacked the authentic taste I was expecting. The service staff seemed overwhelmed, and I had to remind them of my order. I'd say it's worth trying once, but I won't be rushing back anytime soon. They definitely need to work on the service aspect. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Tabaq based on all the positive reviews, but my visit was disappointing. The food didn't have the authentic taste I expected, and I found the service quite poor. The seating area was cramped, and it was difficult to enjoy my meal. I regret making the trip and I’m not sure I’d recommend it to others. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was quite surprised by how delicious the food was at Tabaq. The halwa puri really took me back to my childhood. The flavors were rich and authentic. Though the atmosphere is a bit chaotic, it didn't take away from the enjoyment of the meal. This place is definitely on my list for coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tabaq is a mixed bag for me. While the food – especially the halwa puri – is fantastic, the service can be frustrating. I noticed that they tend to forget orders or mix them up, which is unacceptable during busy hours. If only they could make a few adjustments, it'd be perfect. Still returning though, you can't beat the taste! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great traditional atmosphere. The staff is always cordial. I love their halwa puri, so fluffy and flavorful. I also had their nihari, which was incredibly hearty and nourishing. It’s fantastic to see so many women working here! Even when it is jam-packed during weekends, the food and service remain commendable. " (*Curated Review*)
