I ordered the butter chicken and naan, and both were definitely the highlights of the meal. The butter chicken was flavorful and the naan was fresh and delicious. Service was good too. That said, I was hoping for a few more menu options to choose from in a buffet setting. Also, the portions were pretty filling, and I'm not sure I could regularly eat that much rich food in one sitting. Overall, it was a good experience and I can see why people enjoy it. For me personally, the location makes it a little difficult to visit regularly, so I probably won't be back anytime soon. Still, I'm glad I gave it a try and wish them continued success.

We ordered more than $90 worth of food from Ruta Taina, St Cloud for a family get-together…read more Unfortunately, the quality of the food did not meet our expectations. We ordered: * Bistec encebollado with tostones, white rice and habichuelas: the steak and tostones overcooked and dry, tasted vinegary with no bistec juice. * Bifongo with camarones al ajillo and salad: the shrimp were also overcooked/rubbery. The picture online looked way tastier. * Arroz con gandules: the rice was bland and lacked flavor. - Cuban sandwich * Canoa (macaroni salad), alcapurrias, and two empanadas. This was particularly disappointing because our first experience with Ruta Taina had been very good. Based on that experience, we felt comfortable spending more than $90 on food for our family gathering. Unfortunately, this order was significantly below the quality we had previously experienced. Given the price, we expected better. Based on this experience, we do not plan to order from Ruta Taina again.

We ordered the vegetable samosas to start and they were fantastic. For main entrees, we got the butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, and garlic and rosemary naan. The chicken dishes were flavorful and tender and the sauces had just the right amount of spice. The naan was light and fluffy and was the perfect addition to soak up the delicious sauces. The restaurant was clean, and the ambiance was inviting and warm, yet bright. The staff was very friendly from the minute we walked in and checked in throughout the meal to make sure we were enjoying our experience. I also recommend that you don't leave without having a Mango Lassi!! We will definitely be back!

I'm done*** Tabla Lake Nona - I have been to Tabla several times and have always had a great experience except my call in orders. I decided to do 'to go' again this time as we wanted to watch the soccer game. The call in was very strange and we couldn't understand each other at all. When the phone was answered, it sounded like someone was asking 'Is this Tabla?'. I said I was wondering the same. The person went silent so I asked if this was Tabla and he said 'yes'. So, I asked if I can place an order for Yelp and some other items to go. He said 'yes'. So, I asked him is he was ready and he was. I had a question about one of the dishes and I didn't actually get that answered and hoped for the best. He said it would be 10-15 minutes, so I rushed over as we were really hungry and didn't want to have it get cold. I was thinking that was quite a strange time frame as it was a large order. There is a lot of construction so I was blocked getting into the parking lot as I came the back way from the neighborhood and parked over at Lowe's. It would have been nice to know there was construction when I called and to take Narcoossee to get into the lot. From where I was at, it was not possible. When I arrived about 15 minutes after the call, it wasn't too busy for a Saturday with about 3-5 tables full, but smelled delicious. Not surprising with the game on but they had several people doing to go orders. The staff was busy and friendly and knew about the Yelp deal so that was covered. An HOUR after I ordered, I finally had my food and could walk back to Lowe's and head home. They forgot an item which added an extra 5 minutes. But, still, a really long time and unacceptable to wait that long given there isn't much room at all and it was too hot outside. And, for the person who took the order to tell me a completely off base timeframe. I ordered the butter chicken with the naan and the mango lassi. I had all of that previously and these were excellent as anticipated. We also added the palak chaat and chicken lollipops which we had not tried before along with the mix grill which is a favorite. The palak chaat was quite good. I think it would have been better onsite but it was a slightly crunchy spinach appetizer with lots of great flavors including mint! The chicken lollipops was delicious as well. They were crispy and a large portion too. I'd definitely both of these items again. Sadly, the mix grill was entirely too spicy so we will have to figure out how to redo it. It is a lot of food (and quite pricey) and great for a group. It was a very large expense to be too spicy. The substitution of the lamb for extra chicken was honored thankfully. Overall, ordering over the phone is a bad idea, especially if you need to make adjustments or have allergies. It never works out. If you want to do take out, go by in person and run a few errands while the food is being made. If you order in the restaurant, you will be better taken care of.

First off, this is around the fourth or fifth time we visit Saffron Indian Cuisine in the Sand Lake…read morearea. The restaurant, in our view, has gotten increasingly lacklustre in the past couple of years. While the tables and the interiors are still generally clean, we have noticed wobbly table legs and cracked/torn seat covers that seem to remain unchanged and/or unrepaired for months. Coming to the food, while most of the Punjabi and North-west Indian fare on their menu has been the typically Americanized Indian food for the most part, anything outside of that category on their menu can and will throw you off. Especially if you've had the authentic stuff and know what those dishes taste like. On our latest visit last night, we ordered dahi tikki for appetizer which was served to us without the dahi. No attempt was made on part of the server or the kitchen staff to correct the error and provide the yogurt dressing. So we had a couple of aloo tikkis (spiced potato patties) with the regular chutneys that were at the table. We also ordered chicken vindaloo, bhindi do pyaza and butter naan for the entrée. To our surprise, the chicken tasted nothing like vindaloo and it had potatoes in it!!! LOL! For the uninitiated, Vindaloo is the Indian interpretation of 'Carne de Vinha d'alhos', which was introduced in the early 16th century to the former Portuguese colony of Goa in India. In Goa, the dish is colloquially known as 'vindalho' or 'vindaloo' and is prepared in a very similar manner to its Portuguese counterpart. It's a type of braised meat prepared with bold fiery spices and wine vinegar to impart that recognisably bold, pickle like flavour and has a beautiful, rich brown sauce. Vindaloo has absolutely NOTHING to do with Aloo (potatoes) in any shape, way or form. What was served to us seemed like some Frankensteined variation of Chicken tikka masala with some potatoes thrown in at whim. The bhindi do pyaza was alright in terms of flavor but the team in their kitchen ignored to discard the cap/stem of the okras causing the preparation to have a rather unpleasant texture and mouthfeel. The butter naans were also very inconsistent in texture. The first one was fine, the second one was overcooked, brown and crispy and the one we ordered to go was slightly undercooked and doughy. Also, not sure if it's worth mentioning, but the lights inside the restaurant kept being dimmed to the point of being turned off several times when we were seated at the table at around 8:30PM. I'm not sure what's going on with this restaurant but if the owners and staff actually read the reviews, please do something about it. We have been to Saffron before and we used to really enjoy the food, the service and the overall atmosphere. But lately it's been all going downhill. The only saving grace is that the portions served here are still huge. But that won't save the restaurant if the quality of the food and everything else keeps tanking. It'll be a shame to see another good restaurant fall from grace. We would absolutely urge the owners to take notice and fix things so those of us who have loved this place in the past can keep returning.
