Love this place! Will miss it!

and the tamarind margaritas! felt like a good part of my fun years in NYC were spent at the bread bar or outside under the portico with some cocktails and na'an! Good times!

Bad Food

I was a bit disappointed with the food and also the quality. I heard raving reviews and i took my staff to celebrate. The service was very slow and food a bit disappointing.

Interesting

Went there to celebrate my husband's birthday with friends. Getting a reservation was relatively easy and the staff was very accommodating about the time and number of guests. The cuisine was very interesting. Cannot call it Indian but definitely had some Indian accents. I would recommend adding a bit more kick to the flavors... they lay very much in the background. I loved my crabcake, my husband's naan-ini and my friend's asparagus foogath. Service and cocktails were outstanding!

One of my favorite spots in NYC

This is one of my favorite restaurants in NYC! The decor is beautiful and the atmosphere is great. The tasting menu is very interesting and everything is delicious! Sometimes the service is a little slow but I actually don?t mind it because it gives me time to enjoy my conversation without feeling rushed.

Disappointing Return

Four years ago, I had a sublime dining experience whose memory lingered of a remarkably inventive fusion of Indian, French cuisine. I was disappointed when I returned with my family of four for a dinner two days before the New Year. Unfortunately, neither the food nor the service met expectations.

Several dishes were excellent- crab cakes, lobster,and kobe steaks. Inexplicably, the sauce on the skate and cod was just too salty-rendering the dishes almost inedible. My daughter's snapper included a portion of skin with the attached remnant of a side fin that should have been trimmed. The chicken samosas were not tasty and seemed out of place in this upscale menu. Finally, the pacing of the dishes was too slow, almost 2 1/2 hours for a three item prix fixe menu. Had the food been sufficiently inspired and enthralling, this would have been time to savor. Instead- it was irritating to try to stay awake to find out what one had ordered for desert. Perhaps this was just an off night, but I will not be returning soon to shell out $100 per dinner without liquor at Tabla despite it's pretty decor.

Service was deathly slow, food lacked taste, portions were small

We went to the bread bar at Tabla for my friends birthday on a Monday night. There was a decent crowd. People were mostly around 35 years old. We all ordered one dish and some of us ordered bread. The waiter barely came over at all! We had to hound her down and ask for items many times. My chicken Tikka was dry and lacked any flavor. My friends who ordered it also said it was bland. My friend's ceviche looked super tiny! We ordered the pumpkin chocolate cake and some vanilla lemon dessert. The chocolate one was pretty good but the other one was just plain weird and the flavor didn't go. Stay away from this trap. They treated us like we barely existed and it was a Monday! Imagine a Friday night.

All Kinds Of Interesting

The Bread Bar at Tabla is all kinds of interesting to me. A modern take on Indian food. It's not quite traditional and not quite fusion. The space is nice and lofty, it features an open kitchen which is fun to watch. My standout favorites were the Pork Shank, chicken masala (which does not come in a soupy base), lemon pilaf and the naan. The Pork shank falls right off the bone. The chicken is definitely some of the most perfectly done chicken I have had the naan is really good. Those items were fantastic but everything else I would say was interesting. A must try but, I'm not sure if it's made my favorities list just yet.

Fusion genius, go with the veggies

I went there about three weeks ago. It had been some 5 years or so since I last set foot. Unlike most NY restaurants, Tabla had been open all that time, which obviously is no small feat. I understand why. The food is absolutely creative and simply the best practice of fusion cuisine I've ever had. Overall, the vegetarian dishes faired better than the meat dishes, probably because the subtlety of the spices worked better on veggies. I was blown away by the raita-inspired cucumber soup (on the house), which had chia seeds to give it that cucumber-seed texture. That was pure genius. My only beef is the excessive use of salt. It wasn't necessary and only took away from the other spices that were working their magic.
