The Scene – Occupying a cavernous space in the Met Life Tower, the restaurant's soaring staircase, deeply stained woods and lush, curvilinear details make a striking impression. The second-floor dining room, itself gently bi-level, has a serious but relaxed air; smart, impeccably professional and engaging service creates a very comfortable dining experience. – – The Food – This isn't Indian cuisine, but seasonings and techniques from the area lavishly spice up what would otherwise be competent and creative American food. Take roast chicken, to which a cumin jus and…

Bad Food
by orangeshade
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
by ShreyaD
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!
- Pros: Ambience
- Cons: mildly pricey

One of my favorite spots in NYC
by roxananyc
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.
The Details on Tabla
Know Before You Go:
The more casual Bread Bar is located just downstairs and offers a more affordable menu. Refreshing drinks and patio seating make it a relaxing retreat during the warm months.
Look Good:
Planning a more formal occasion? Tabla, upstairs, offers a more refined ambience and more formal menu.
What to Drink:
The pineapple and lemongrass-flavored house special "Tablatini" is tasty, but the tamarind margarita, with fresh lime and orange juice, tamarind and Sauza Gold, gets the nod for best drink in the house.
Save Money:
A 3-course prix-fixe menu is available for $54.
The Extras:
Tabla Street Cart right outside the restaurant boasts a brief menu of items ranging between $4 and $8. Open Mon-Fri, 11:30am-3:30pm.
What to Drink:
The often powerfully spiced food puts up a heck of a fight against even the most full-bodied of wines, but there are several good contenders on the bill. The beer list, however, includes Colorado's hard-to-find Flying Dog, which complements the food with ease. Or try one of several specialty cocktails, such as the tart Tablatini and the posh pomegranate gimlet.
