"When your work week can't quite budget another multi-course meal with colleagues who don't know the meaning of savings, we suggest hitting the Midtown location for lunch because they offer several thali-style entrees, all under $18. That includes dal, naan, the vegetable of the day, rice, and dessert—which winds up being a ton of food for the price (especially in this economy, where you need a small loan for a pack of gum). And for a few dollars more, their entrees of rich and creamy butter chicken and spice-rich tikka masala come in portions generous enough to yield leftovers for dinner. While the dining room has a calming, minimalist environment, we usually sit on the patio because it's off a quieter street that helps leave the Midtown chaos behind." - juli horsford, jacinta howard, nina reeder

"Of Tabla's two locations, the original Midtown restaurant is the one we prefer because it sits off a low-key street, which makes eating on the patio of this busy neighborhood feel less chaotic. Inside, the dining room continues the chill energy—a minimalist design with a few watercolor art works and modern lighting fixtures hanging above the marble tabletops. And you can de-stress further, knowing whatever you pick off their Indian menu will be tasty and satisfying. Their incorrectly named small plates like duck samosas and kurkuri bhindi actually give generous portions perfect for sharing or eating as your main dish. And when it comes to the entrees, stick to the standout signature dishes like handi gosht served in a bread bowl that ensures no top of the thick gingery sauce goes to waste. Food Rundown Kurkuri Bhindi Thin slices of crispy okra are perfect for sharing at the table because you get such a big portion. Just make sure you get first dibs. Samosas These are among the best samosas we’ve found. They’re giant and you get three in every order. They offer veggie (potatoes, peas, and fennel) and duck stuffed with excellent duck confit. You should absolutely get both. Handi Gosht Get this. Big chunks of goat are braised and set in a bread bowl with a thick gingery, garlicky sauce. This is a good-sized portion, so you have enough to share or take it home. Tikka Masala You can choose your protein for this staple dish, and we usually go with lamb because it’s so tender and pairs well with the creamy tomato-based sauce." - Juli Horsford

The food, the smells are SO Amazing, exceptional and memorable. We went on a perfect Sunday brunch with perfect weather seated outdoors. I’ve gone back numerous times thereafter, only question was the Tandoori Vegetable sides… thought it would be more roasted than swimming in white wet gravy. Still tasty but not what I expected tandoori. Not the cheapest parking with validation, but Midtown is midtown.

Tabla restaurant offers excellent service with the added bonus of outdoor seating and a beautifully designed interior. The drinks are delightful. The Lasooni Cauliflower appetizer, though flavorful, had too much color and was a bit on the salty side. The Brussel Sprout Bhel was perfect and absolutely delicious. As for the main dishes, the Kadai Chicken Thali and Veg Thali were just okay in terms of taste, wish there were more dishes included in thali . Liked the garlic Naan, and the dessert on the thali menu was a real treat!

Great atmosphere and amazing food. Perfect for date night or drinks with the girls. Quiet atmosphere. We sat inside but I also liked the patio set up, great atmosphere for the evening. Their Tikka Masala is the best I’ve had thus far and I’ve tasted plenty. The amul and jalapeño naan was also really good and cheesy! The Taabla sour cocktail was delicious. Not as strong as I’d prefer but still delicious. Will be back to try the entire menu! Must Tries: The Lasooni Cauliflower Chicken Tikka Masala Amul & Jalapeño Naan

I had a hankering for Indian, and figured Tabla is a proven, solid choice. My order (paneer tikka masala w/ basmati and garlic naan) wasn’t too complex and if it arrived cold, I could easily reheat it. Not only did it arrive warm, but let me tell you this was easily the best Indian dish I’ve ever had. It would probably make my top 10 dish list of all time. — I’m in shock at just how good this food is. Normally I’ll eat half and save half. Not tonight. I’ll probably lick the plate clean when I finish, despite being overstuffed. Thank you, Tabla, for providing me an amazing dinner tonight!

First time at this location, Second time trying this restaurant. The food is phenomenal. The ambience is really nice. They have a good wine and drink selection. I always have the octopus and the butter chicken as my go-to. When I’m in the mood for authentic Indian cuisine, I will always come to this spot.

This was my first visit with two other friends, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was great. The portions were very generous. The prices were good. I took a star off service because it appeared that the server was rushing us to leave immediately even though there was no one waiting to be seated. Otherwise everything was great and the employees were very polite and helpful.

This place was awesome! The ambience was great and the service was top notch. The bartender served some of the best drinks I've ever had, and was very attentive, AND had a cool Batman keychain..LOL..Ordered the samosas and they were on par. The mango chutney goes well with those. The butter chicken was savory and the lamb had just the right spice. Great place for a date night, to hang with friends. Will most definitely be back!

For my first time at an Indian restaurant I must say I enjoyed everything I tried . The food was full of flavor, hot and fresh. The staff was pleasant, but I did feel a little rushed. They kept asking can they take our plates and we were still eating and enjoying our conversation. Overall a great first time experience.

I'm not sure I should be giving 5 stars given my digestive issues that night but my weak stomach isn't yours. Service and food were excellent and the restaurant, while not unique or very pretty, is classy and pleasant for dinner. Came here for our anniversary. We started off with their Brussels sprouts appetizer and I got their spiced old fashioned. The app was similar to a tuna tartare in the way it was served. Very unique for Brussels and tasted delicious. The old fashioned was superb. Loved it. For my entree, I went with their specialty that was made with chicken. Let me start with that it was delicious. I loved this. Spicy and full of flavor. I would absolutely eat this again IF I could turn back the clock and be in my 30s. Unfortunately, my 40s have brought with it a digestive system that simply can't handle what younger me could handle. And here, they don't ask you for your spice level. They make it the way it's supposed to be made, which is Indian spicy. Don't get me wrong-I loved it and actually brought home the leftover sauce. But it was difficult on my system. I would love to come back and just try a standard tikka masala or butter chicken. Something that I know won't rip a hole in my intestines. Old age sucks. But Tabla is superb.

Had some nice food there with my friend. My friend got tandoori chicken, I got the rabbit curry, and we shared side Roti and tandoori veggies. They all tasted good. It was my first time to have rabbit in U.S.! The meat was super juicy, packed with flavor from the curry--it had some spicy kick, but not too much--and many other different flavors from the herbs. The tandoori veggies was interesting: they coated the cauliflowers and bell peppers with yogurt and cheese before they were grilled, so that they were creamy and smoky. The chicken dish was huge and my friend enjoyed it as well! The restaurant was a bit pricy, though. The price for mains were actually reasonable, but the side dishes were expensive lol. For example, their roti was $6 each and it was not enough for one. So in total 4 out 5. Will try other dishes in the future!

I've been here a few times and have loved the food every time! The menu is very vegetarian friendly. Every dish we had, I would get again. We arrived close to closing, and they told us the kitchen closed earlier than their hours say. I'd recommend getting there an hour before closing if you want a non-rushed experience. They still sat us even though we came less than an hour before closing, but the end of our meal felt rushed.

In the heart of Midtown off of Cresent. Parking was easy-2 hour validated in garage next to the restaurant. The food and atmosphere was great. Just felt a little rushed by the waiting staff. I ordered the Duck Samosa $12; Lamb Sheekh Kebab $18; Truffle oil & Parmesan Cheese Naan $7; no-alcoholic lychee sour $6 everything was great, even the complementary desserts were a hit! At the end of our meal, our waiter bought some small sweet treats and two desserts for the table. Mango ice cream cone and a pistachio dessert custard. Thanks Tabla! SYOY

It seems like they add food coloring to a few of dishes. Some dishes were ok and one was really bad. I complained to three server who basically just left it there and didn't offer to replace it. We paid for it too. For Indian food go somewhere else.

We did have to wait even with a reservation but the bar is pleasant. The meal was surprisingly eclectic and Flavorful. Service was great. We would go back. Highly recommend.

TLDR: BEST Indian food I've had in Atlanta ever! 10/10 and pricey but the price is worth it. The service is quick and attentive. If you are in Midtown Atlanta this is a must try! I decided to try this place on Juneteenth after my friends and I were craving some authentic Indian cuisine. I had the chicken tikka and the garlic naan and I was licking my fingers the whole time! Almost burned my tongue lol... I was SO hungry... Truly 10/10 in every way and I will be returning very soon. Thank me later :) Tip: Basmati rice comes with all the dishes!

Probably one of THE best if not the best Indian restaurant in the city. Everything was excellent - food , service , ambiance - all 5 star. We ordered the ginger / fenugreek paneer, bukara daal and garlic naan. Paan whiskey cocktail (photo below) - really good. Paan kulfi for dessert - best kulfi ever!

We got the mango lassi, also Iasooni cauliflower, paneer moilee, saag paneer, onion kulcha, and veg biryani. Lasooni cauliflower - 9.5/10 chrunchy, garlicky, sweet and spicy must get Mango lassi - 7/10 not bad but nothing special good texture Paneer moilee - 8.5/10 VERY good unique coconut South Indian flavor. We ordered it to be spicy since because of the spice reviews and it really wasn't spicy at all. Saag paneer - 7/10 nothing special. We ordered medium spicy and really came as mild I think. Next time would go with spicy. Onion kulcha - 8/10 very good texture Veg biryani - 6/10 dissapointed. The look is awesome but the flavor and spice is lacking. Maybe you'd be better off with a non-veg biryani. Raita - 9/10 MUST GET came with veg biryani. Great flavor a little too sweet but very good

Ate at tabla last night. Very solid spot for Indian food. Service was great and friendly. Sat outside which was really nice on a great night. Buddy and shared the tandoori Branzino fish and lambRogan josh curry. We also had chili naan and onion kulcha. The Branzino was good but it's a small fish. Just had to be careful of the bones. The side of curry sauce that came with it was really good. Zero complaints on the lamb rogan It was really good. The chili naan lacked chilies. Kinda bland. Over all it was a great meal been to a lot of Indian restaurants around the world. This one was one of the most expensive. $26 for curry is pretty pricey.

Since they asked us if we needed validation, then there is a lot near here, but we did not park there. There is also street parking near by. This is a more upper scale sit down Indian restaurant with NO lunch buffet as many other similar restaurants have. The number of dishes they have is somewhat more limited and classified differently from other Indian places we have been to. The atmosphere was average to noisy on our visit at about 6:30 on a Monday. Inside is dimly lit and there is patio seating. We recommend indoor to try to avoid the mosquitos. We got the saag paneer which is listed under curry, the butter chicken, and the garlic naan. The saag was more like curry in consistency and had a little different flavor than other Indian restaurants as did the butter chicken. However, we liked the way they seasoned the food. Each dish cane with a personal sized bowl of rice that you could put the curry directly on to. We also got the tiki margarita, which is a bit sweet, but we liked it. It also came with a spicy colored salted rim which had excellent flavor to complement the drink. We have been to numerous Indian restaurants in three different countries and several states in the USA and this was one of the better ones. Was a little pricey for two people, about $100, with tip, but probably about right for a higher end restaurant with today's inflation. The service was good. Overall, recommend trying this place.

Tabla owes me nothing! When you pull up, there's paid garage and street parking and you can smell the aroma as you walk towards the restaurant. The service is great, no complaints there. Now about this delicious food! I ordered the Lamb Rogan Josh and my friend had the classic Butter Chicken. I am craving this dish as I write this review. The flavors are unmatched! Cooked to perfection! Our entrees came with a small side of rice. And they did not skimp on the lamb at all! Greatly appreciated! We had the corn ribs as our appetizer! It was my first time trying corn ribs and whatever seasoning was used did the job! Not one complaint! I had left overs which is the best kind of left over to have! Just yummy! You will leave this place full and happy! The best way to end dinner is going into the restroom and helping yourself to the huge bottle of mouthwash they have with little cups next to it! Because I definitely ate all of the chopped garlic on those corn ribs! So this was definitely well thought out! 10/10

A solid fine dining for indian food! Though I will say it caters to non-Indians, it is perfect if you want to give it a try. We walked in with a large party and they were able to accommodate fairly quickly. The dishes were delicious and the food came out fairly quickly. It could have been spicier. Definitely try their Amul Cheese & Jalapeño Naan!

The food was absolutely delicious at this restaurant! The portion size is good for the price. The service was excellent. Plenty of indoor space and a few outdoor tables.

Food and service is great! Definitely recommend their jalapeño cheese naan. Best thing I had there!

Yelp
Phenomenal! This is an upscale Indian restaurant with many vegetarian options. The decor is very modern and clean. Clean private bathrooms. The paneer is very nice! I would highly recommend the amul cheese and jalapeño naan... not very spicy but the cheese was similar to cheddar cheese. The curry was pretty good, they did not ask what spice level but it had a kick. The service was great.

My jail would the parking garage above the restaurant where you can only smell the delicacies being cooked below, but only smelling, never tasting. The aroma wafted around and a tingle started in my toes and then went to my nose. I have been enchanted by the smell and finally popped my head in. A take out order with duck samosa, butter chicken that comes with rice, and a cheese/jalapeño naan. - butter chicken - all the reviews talk about it and maybe I'm just a snob. But it was creamy and delicious, the right amount of meat. But I think there was a bit too much sweet, and would've appreciated a good spice hit. - duck samosa - honestly a huge disappointment. Dry and not very flavorful at all. Duck is fatty and you miss all of it here. - jalapeño/cheese naan - a bit over priced and just a naan quesadilla that is alright. I think the smell is amazing, though the food does not live up to that. There are water bottles that say if you smell it, the taste will be there. Not for me. I think it's over priced and not for my tastes. Though would recommend everyone come by at least once.

Was recommended this spot by a friend. This Indian restaurant is unassuming and located in the heart of Midtown Atlanta. It's dimly lit and elegant- ideal for dates and small intimate gatherings. The moilee curry was rich with a little kick; the chicken breast chunks were juicy and definitely fresh. Paired very well with naan. The garlic naan was heavy on the garlic but not overpowering, lightly crisped on the outside and a little oily at the bottom. The masala chai was pretty standard. The servers were plenty and fairly attentive. Altogether, I paid about $40- a little on the pricier side, but one of the best Indian places I've tried and for that, still very much worth it.

We went there on Tuesday night at the spur of the moment. We were visiting from out of town and the hotel was walking distance. As we were walking around the day before, the smells pulled us in. We order 3 small plates and the rumali roti (a very thin tortilla like bread). The food was very tasty and filled us up. We then had the rice pudding (me) and the rasmalai (wife) for dessert. Service was quick, ambiance was nice and food was great.

If you're looking for authentic Indian food, you must treat yourself to Tabla, known as one of the most popular Indian restaurants in the Midtown area. Located at the Swanky 77 12th apartment building, Tabla has a very sleek and chic, contemporary atmosphere unpretentious with a welcoming vibe. A friend of mine suggested I try it. Well, today was the big day. Figured I'd take full advantage while everyone else was out eating barbecue or home firing up the grill... Ha, April fool's wait, this is July ...smh! LOL..ANYWHO, I was wrong. Tabla was packed they do take reservations, which I didn't have because I was playing the game of being spontaneous. Never again! Lesson learned. Luckily, the bar had a few spots available, so I grabbed a seat. Indecisive on what to order, I went with the butter chicken with a side of Basamti rice, and it was DELICIOUS!! Tender chicken pieces with a mild tomato sauce, still slightly spicy, which I'm a fan of... Just Yummy!! Highly recommend ... they also validate your parking...woot woot.

Yelp
Lovely atmosphere! The surface was really good. A little awkward but good. My friend and I ordered a cocktail before ordering appetizers. The server was very attentive. I had lamb korma, and my friend is vegetarian so she had a vegetable curry dish, which looked delicious. The appetizers and the dinner came out, hot and fresh! We asked the server to split our checks, according to what we ordered. When we brought to his attention that there was something on one of the checks that I didn't order, he responded "but she paid for the appetizers". She paid for the appetizers because she wanted to. I didn't ask to pay for her beverage. But because it took so long for us to get a check, we just let it go. It's not the Price is the principal. He seemed new, but because he was nice I'm gonna let it slide, but it was worth mentioning. The food was amazing. I will be back.

The food was great. The only real issue I had was we had a reservation for 5:15 and didn't get seated 25 minutes later. Mind you, we were the only my ones at the restaurant at the time. But I would definitely come back.

I have never had Indian food like this. A friend recommend it to us and it did not disappoint! The ambiance is low light but small lights at table to see. Very clean. The service was above and beyond and the food was delicious. All staff was friendly and helped eachother. We would return if in the area.

Starting this review off by saying that I am a regular of Tabla. All of my sit down dining experiences here are fabulous. Literally everytime I walk by this place my mouth begins to water and it's hard to resist stopping in because you can smell their ambrosial food from a (long) Atlanta block away Leaving 3 stars because of their takeout experience. If you end up doing this on Uber eats and walking there - give yourself at least an additional 15 minutes after the order is "ready" to grab it. I'm completely fine with Indian food taking a long time because a GOOD curry takes patience. I can comfortably say my last tikka masala was a little watery - likely a result of it not being cooked down long enough. They also forgot the Naan in the order - which if you're an Indian food freak like me is worse than even the most heinous impulse-induced street crime. At $35 for Tikka Masala, Naan, and extra rice you expect a flawless execution - even while doing takeout. Leaving at 3 for now. May update later next time I go back in person!

Atlanta if you have not had the pleasure of dining at this crown jewel you are missing out! I had an early Saturday dinner at the midtown location and as usual they did not disappoint. The aroma of food draws you in from the street! The decor is authentic , exotic, calming, and eye catching. The service is amazing. The entire staff is attentive , and professional with a very welcoming demeanor. The food is ridiculous! Hands down this is my #1 top Indian restaurant in Atlanta . You are missing out!! Everything is tasty and delicious! The duck samosas served with mango chutney will have you slurping your fingers in pure delight! The spinach fritters are amazing amazing and unexpected but - just delish! The depth of flavor in the dishes are insane!! The butter chicken and tikka masala will knock your socks off and the Lamb Moilee is OUTSTANDING! They offer several different flavors of Naan my fav is the Kashmiri - filled with fruits and nuts!! Dine today. and thank me later!!

LOVE this place! The portion sizes are perfect, and the flavor is too. Service is always quick and friendly. Whether you're sitting inside or outside the ambiance is cozy and inviting.

Located in the heart of midtown! Tabla is an upscale ( heavyn on the up) indian restaurant with a very cool elusive vibe. You can park in the parking deck and they will validate your parking ( be warned its not a ton of spots in the deck for restaurants so you might have to circle around for a bit) The restaurant was a cool atmosphere. The food was good. I went with a party of 6 and my friend was able to make a reservation online which is great! There was great service. Water was always served. I think my biggest issue was i felt the portions were very small for the pricing. I got lamb rogan josh for $26 and it had about 5 small pieces of meat. It came with a little bit of rice but i felt like it couldve been bigger. It was tasty though i really liked the Palak Patta Chaat a lot which was a fried spinach appetizer with yummy sauces. I only ordered those two things and my total cost was $50 with a 20% tip but it is meant to be upscale so i get it but I think portions should be a little bigger for that cost.

Super authentic Indian food! Very cozy location tucked away from the craziness of Peachtree street with outdoor patio seating. Highly recommend the lamb kebabs and the chicken tikki masala.

We shared the butter chicken and it was great. We even had leftovers. The rice is so good too! I feel like from the outside it's so unassuming but when you go inside your transported to a fancy Indian restaurant! It was beautiful, quite, and had great ambiance! We will come back and try other things next time.

Great Food. Friendly Service. Clean environment. A trifecta that is hard to find at an indian restaurant! We made reservations online and were seated immediately after arrival even though we were late. Food is very tasty. Definitely recommend the Lasooni Cauliflower for appetizers. Paneer Tikka Masala was a favorite. The Tabla Kofta is a unique twist to the Malai Kofta, however it was too sweet for our liking. The kofta was interestingly filled with saffron infused cheese. Again, interesting flavor, but not our favorite take on "Malai Kofta". Garlic naan and roomali rotli were prepared perfectly- very enjoyable and accompanied the gravies perfectly. Location is a nice spot in midtown area. Staff and service was friendly, informative, and quick.

Yelp
The host Yamini was very sweet. The bar tender Nirav is awesome! Had a great conversation with him. Food tastes great!! I had Paneer(Cheese) Tikka Masala. Was great. Nirav asked what kind of wines I like and he suggested a red wine, that I enjoyed. For the sake of not sounding to be promoting the brand, I am refraining from it. But ask him for his recommendation. He is really good to talk to you if you are sitting at the bar. The highlight of my experience here is: their Lacha paratha (layered bread) is so soft and fresh, it is beyond the world experience. I never tasted such a tasty soft Lacha paratha that's so well layered and crispy. You must try. I am actually packing a repeat order of the same home for tomorrow. After you taste your food there, if you like my review, please give it a thumbs up. Enjoy the food. Cheers! Manny

Holy HOLY crap! This is the restaurant that makes you wish you had not given other restaurants 5 stars cause they deserve to be above...... Went with wife, older daughter and her significant other. We had the Lassoni Cauliflower,Butter Chicken, Saag Paneer (chicken), Parda Biryani (vegetable), and some garlic naan. It was all really good. Frankly, though - the butter chicken made me forget (almost) the other dishes. It is absolutely one of the BEST dishes I've ever had. The seasoning was on point and sauce actually creamy. That dish alone is a 5 star review. The service was really good - I have a tree nut allergy , alpha gal and am diabetic. My wife has a gluten allergy and is dairy free. We are restaurant nightmares. The staff listened to us and helped us through the menu. Funny enough though, the thing that impressed me was on the drinks - I was contemplating a old fashioned (their's is "spicy") and they brought me a sample of the drink (what?) to try before I ordered. I recommend the drink. We had some of the other specialty drinks and they were also good.... One thing (agin) about the old fashioned - it is smokey and I could really taste the flavor. I recommend for dates, adult family, friends and business prob not ideal for preteen and younger. DO NOT FORGET THE BUTTER CHICKEN

I am not exaggerating when I say this is the best north Indian in Atlanta. We ordered butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, truffle naan, and gulab jamun, and every single item was perfect. 10/10!

Ok everyone - THIS is delicious Indian food in Midtown. We live OTP (sadly) but often come inside for great food (unless we hit Buford Hwy, but I digress) and this place!!!! OMG!!! We had the lamb tikka masala, dal makhani (sublime!!), naan, and raita. We also had a couple of cocktails - Lolo Aur Bebo and the Old Mumbai. Fantastic!! Our service was amazing and the server was fun to talk to. We sat outside and enjoyed the distinct ambiance of Midtown Atlanta. You would be wise to eat here - especially for dinner but lunch is great too!!!

Scammy thieves. They rejected my gift card because it was "over a year old". This is unlawful and unethical.

I've been to tabla several several times for business meetings. The food is always excellent, but today I take issue with the service. I made a reservation on OpenTable for a 1:30 pm lunch. I did not think to check what time they closed for lunch, but when I got there I was told they stop taking orders at 2 pm and close at 2:30 pm. I was a little surprised, given they had a 1:30 pm time slot available. I still decided to stay at the establishment and wait for my business partners to join me. I placed an order for all of us slightly before 2 pm (1:55 pm) and the food came out closer to 2:25 pm. My guests arrived around 2:30 pm and as they were sitting down, I was immediately handed the check. I went ahead and paid my tab. We began eating, and I understand they "close" at 2:30 pm, but most restaurants I've been to there is still atleast ONE server that stays for a guest until they are done with their meal. At about 2:45 pm we were urged to leave because they were "closed". I just thought it was a little strange, uncomfortable and unprofessional. It wasn't like we were going to stay for hours, but we literally only got to eat for 15ish minutes.

My boyfriend and I were craving Indian food and decided to try out this restaurant in Midtown. There is street parking, but there's also a deck directly adjacent to the restaurant where you can get parking validated (otherwise the rate is $30/hr). We came to the restaurant on a Friday night around 7 pm and had to sit at the bar because we did not have a reservation. If you want to have a nicer dining experience, I don't recommend sitting at the bar (make a reservation in advance!). The seating at the bar is quite tight and there's nowhere to hang your purse. We ordered the duck samosa, lamb moilee, and shrimp biryani. The duck samosas were disappointing in that the duck was very dry and the fried pastry was quite thick. Of the entrees, I enjoyed the lamb moilee which was flavorful and creamy. I didn't enjoy the biryani because the rice was was too fragrant and spicy. The part I least enjoyed about our dinner was the bartender who served us. Although I understand the bartender was overwhelmed with serving the customers at the bar and making drinks, he was very aggressive in his service, which made the dining experience unpleasant. For one, he took away the samosa plate before I was done eating without asking (which I'm sure his intention was just to clear the table). Then, he would drop all the dirty dishes in a bucket very quickly, making the plates and bowls clash loudly. He also kept splashing me because he was very forceful when making drinks with this shaker. Again, I understand he's probably trying to be efficient, but as the customer that had to sit in front of him, it was a stressful dining experience. If I come back, I would definitely make a reservation.

So crazy that I ended up going here for a birthday gathering, about 8 years after my first review and was really hoping it'd be a good experience this time. The staff attitude is much better, albeit they are very pushy for you to order quickly and will try to get your plate even if you lean back a bit, seriously! Now the food - wow, what a shame that they have still not made much changes. Garlic naan - still underdone, thick, and hastily sent over you can tell. Rotis - almost crusty, no texture. Rumali roti - was good though. Entrees - Saag Paneer - very bland, come on chef pls taste it and truthfully realize that it really has no flavor. The korma veggies - do avoid as it is another mish mash of all kinds of veggies with no flavor. Kadhai paneer - was ok. Paneer tikka masala - was like paneer with tomato soup. Aight this thing is out of my system now, buh bye Tabla. PS - ran into a neighbor who had the exact same experience at Tabla, so really not sure how this place is still humming along.

What amazing food and service! We visited twice during our three-day trip to Atlanta. I wish there was a branch here in Boston. Beautiful ambiance.

The Cheese and Jalapeño naan is SO RIDICULOUSLY DELICIOUS. The truffle oil naan was quite yummy too but was slightly easy to get sick of by the second piece. I honestly expected some more authentic Indian flavors. Not to say that the food wasn't good, it was tasty but felt quite regular. I got the dhaba chicken curry and my friend got the dahi eggplant. Both of us felt that if we came here again we would not get those items again. They were tasty and filled our stomachs but didn't make us want to come back for more. I tried to ask for my chicken curry to be extremely spicy but it was very not spicy :(. Our server was very friendly and it was a smooth experience. The place is small and cozy but very clean and well maintained. For the price of the food though it doesn't feel as luxurious. Speaking of the price of the food, I think we were even more disappointed to be served just alright food because this place is not cheap. For food that's on the expensive side we expected a lot more flavor and something way more memorable. Overall, good food just a little underwhelming for the price.

VEGAN SPICE WIMP REVIEW Yes, that's quite a niche market. For vegans who don't like spicy food. Stay with me here, people Came here early on a Sunday evening. Pro tip#1: make a reservation! They managed to squeeze us in only after we promised to basically eat & run (we had a show at 7:30, so that was fine with us!) Food was pretty good HOWEVER it's SPICY & some ingredients are not listed on dishes- which is tricky for those of us with dietary restrictions Brussels sprouts were delicious! Very creative, not your run of the mill pile of roasted sprouts. They are cold, which was unexpected. Samosas were solid, the filling was a little spicier than expected. Channa pindi was good... though I couldn't eat much because it was spicy (can you see the theme here?) Cauliflower was good. Very small portion for $23! But the sauce was super tasty. Vegetable biryani. Presentation I've never seen-- in a copper bowl with bread (maybe roti) baked over it. Very cool. Although not listed in the ingredients IT HAS CHEESE, such a bummer for me as a vegan. So pro tip #2 is ask about the ingredients in every dish! Nice ambiance. Great service. Parking right next door (but we didn't know that so we parked on the street) Tummy was a little funky the next day, same with my daughter who came with.

Overall food was good, would get again. The mango lassi was not good it was really salty, however, rest of the food was very well spiced.

This place was awesome! The ambience was great and the service was top notch. The bartender served some of the best drinks I've ever had, and was very attentive, AND had a cool Batman keychain..LOL..Ordered the samosas and they were on par. The mango chutney goes well with those. The butter chicken was savory and the lamb had just the right spice. Great place for a date night, to hang with friends. Will most definitely be back!

Tabla is an upscale Indian restaurant located in Midtown, on the ground level of the 77 12th luxury apartment high-rise. I recently celebrated my birthday there with a friend and had a fantastic dinner experience. The restaurant offers a diverse menu, featuring both North Indian and South Indian cuisine. We ordered Chicken Achari, Dabba chicken curry, and parda biryani, all of which were delicious. The garlic naan and lacha paratha were the perfect accompaniments to our meal. I've been a loyal customer of Tabla since 2017 and have witnessed the prices gradually increase, but the quality of their food has always remained exceptional. I must also commend our server, who provided attentive and prompt service throughout our dining experience. Overall, Tabla offers an upscale ambiance, outstanding food, and attentive service. P.S. Don't miss out on their creative cocktails with an Indian twist. I highly recommend trying the Delhi mule, it's amazing!

This place is so good and the best Indian food I've ever had in my life it was so amazing but a bit pricey. I had their garlic naan bread and butter chicken at mild spice and it was not spicy for me but a tingle on the tongue. Their food is made fresh to order so it was bomb
