" I had read a lot about Tabla before finally visiting, and it exceeded my expectations! From the flavorful vegetarian dishes to the succulent meats, every bite was an explosion of taste. I enjoyed their complimentary chai, which was a lovely touch! The service was friendly, although we had to wait a short while for our food. I plan to go again to explore more options off their extensive menu, especially for a dinner with my family. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Tabla has become an annual family ritual. We enjoy the authenticity of the food as if we are dining in India! The Daal Makhani and Garlic Naan are always on point with flavors. I love how they cater to all spice levels; my kids are pretty picky, and they were able to make milder versions of certain dishes for them without any fuss. Plus, the complimentary chai is such a wonderful addition! A lovely atmosphere with constant praise for their service makes this a must-go! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, Tabla is one of my favorite places to go for a quick lunch. The Chole Bhature is hands down the best I've ever had. The flavors are so authentic and satisfying. The prices are reasonable, and I always end up getting more than my money's worth in portion size. I love how the staff is welcoming and how my food arrives quickly. If you're a fan of spicy but delicious Indian food, I highly recommend! It's family-friendly too, which is a big plus. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came to Tabla for a family celebration, and it was a hit! The food came quickly and was bursting with flavor. We ordered a mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. The highlight for me was the Masala Dosa and the Chicken Curry. Each dish was well-prepared, and the spices were just right. The service was excellent, very accommodating with my kids, and they surprisingly offered a complimentary chai that was super tasty! The only issue was a bit of noise from other diners, but we enjoyed our time nonetheless. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Tabla was OK, but I expected more after hearing all the hype. While the food was decent and fresh, I found the dishes to be overly spicy for my taste, even the medium spice options. Additionally, the service felt a bit rushed, and my server wasn't too attentive. I did enjoy the complimentary chai which was a nice touch! The ambiance could use a little more character as well. Overall, not bad, but I think there are better options for Indian food nearby. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tabla has become my go-to spot for Indian food. The thing I love most is that they adapt the spice levels to fit my family’s preferences, which is a bonus! We usually order the mix of appetizers, and they're all delightful. The service is fairly quick, though I did feel like sometimes they could use a few more hands on deck during peak hours. Overall, a fantastic experience every visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tabla is amazing! Everything from the Samosas to the Tandoori Chicken was fresh and flavorful. The restaurant gives off a laid-back vibe that’s perfect for a casual dining experience. The staff are prompt in serving food. We ordered a few biryanis, and they were simply delicious. Well worth checking out if you're an Indian food enthusiast! " (*Curated Review*)
