Great food, good prices, I am craving the dosas and pepper chicken right now. Plus you can bring your own wine with no corkage, always a plus!

The look and feel is average and the food is good. They have both south and north Indian items in the menu. Plenty of parking and the price is reasonable.

A mirror image of a Mexican tapas restaurant. Small dishes reasonable priced. I'd have to say authentic since we were the only non-Indians there. Would I go here again? yes

Don't go to Tabla on Monday. It's closed then. (My co-workers and I learned this the hard way.)Ok, with that said... Tabla is a tasty choice for Indian food on the Peninsula. To be honest, I still...

We had higher hopes for this restaurant because the reviews gave the impression it was a sort of hidden gem. But that expectation resulted in slight disappointment. We still compare the food the...
