"Pabla Indian Cuisine shares a Renton stripmall with a dentist's office, dry cleaners, and a Fred Meyer. Which means you could technically get your errands done and have some exceptional Indian food, all in one trip. This kosher and vegetarian restaurant was once known for its extensive lunch buffet, and now is a takeout-only spot. But that doesn't mean the quality has changed. No meal here is complete without their spicy eggplant bhartha and saag aloo scooped up with onion-stuffed kulcha. There’s also a small market with ready-made freezer versions of their popular dishes if you want to stock up on dal channa before the next half-inch snow warning comes along.
