Holy moly! This…read morewas such a great meal! I'm a huge fan of Indian food and other south Asian cuisine, but wasn't sure what to exactly expect with Nepalese food. I am hooked! It was different than Indian (obviously) but I think I may like this better. I got the Newari khaja set, which is a combination of several traditional Nepalese dishes and it was a fantastic introduction to the flavors they use. I ordered hot (I asked for a 7 on a hotness scale of 1 to 10) and it was perfect. The heat was balanced by a tangy mustard oil present in some of the dishes. It was a deep and hugely satisfying flavor profile. I will return many times and explore further offerings (their menu is vast). If you have not been here, go! If you like Indian food, try this! If you've never had Nepalese food, you owe it to yourself to try it. You will not be disappointed! The staff was super friendly and helpful as well.

Service was great - I had a special request to have a small cup of masala sauce to dip my masala fries in & he didn't hesitate to make some fresh just for that and it was delicious!! We've eaten from here many times via toast or delivery - very happy to finally get to dine in! And after the meal - we got to grocery shop at the attached Indian grocery. Every dal - grain - savory spice you could ever dream of! Love it!

Interesting place for lunch with Indian-inspired items you won't find at other places. The ambiance…read moreis just okay as it is a combination Indian grocery store and restaurant. Service was friendly and efficient on a mid-week weekday. The chicken tikka masala pizza was good. The naan crust was a nice variation from a typical pizza crust. The chicken itself had good flavor and the sauce was also good. Nothing really remarkable. The butter chicken melt was noted on their menu as being one of their best sellers and our server highly recommended it. The presentation was actually better than the taste: it was okay, but the butter sauce really didn't have much flavor at all. The masala fries were crispy and well-seasoned. I would rate this place a 3.5. I'd like to round it up to a 4, but it just didn't quite get there for me. Maybe it's better as a dinner spot for more traditional Indian dishes.

Just moved to the area and was excited to find an Indian restaurant in the area. Decided to give…read morethe place a try and it was a great experience. There was some kind of event happening at the time, which made the place very loud and lively, but we were seated right away. The staff were all very friendly and we had multiple people come by to check on us throughout our visit. With the event going on, there were kids running around the restaurant being pretty rambunctious and loud. The menu was pretty extensive but we decided to try some simple dishes for a first visit. Chicken mushroom, chicken biryani and peshawari nan. Everything came out fairly quickly. The dishes were the right temperature, super flavorful, moist and the sauce was delicious. I was worried about spices and the chicken mushroom was not spicy. The peshwari nan was moist and really good with the nuts and fruits, I could have eaten that by itself. Crisp and chewy and just really good. We ended the meal with gulab jamun which was syrupy sweet and moist. The price was reasonable at just over $40 and it was a wonderful dining experience.

We ordered the shrimp and chicken Masala today. 10/10 for both. The spices were delicious. They give complimentary chutney and pita chips which was pretty unique. You do have to order naans separate so keep this in mind, we went with the garlic naan and cheese naan. We also tried the mango lussi, it was very creamy. Service was great very attentive and helpful. It was a lovely midweek dinner.

Never having Indian food before I decided to try something different and I was not disappointed…read more It's a nice and quaint little restaurant off the main strip. Very clean and welcoming. I was greeted by Yash who helped me choose a couple of dishes that he thought I would enjoy. He was very friendly and explained everything well. I settled on the Chicken Tikka and some steamed Nepali chicken Momos. As I was waiting for my food, another employee, Tej brought me a glass of water and then explained to me the origin of Momos and we had a very friendly and enlightening chat. I truly appreciated how friendly and helpful they both were. As for the food... what can I say.... Wow... The chicken Tikka took about 20 minutes to cook (of which I was informed before I ordered) but it was worth every second of wait. The chicken was extremely flavorful and juicy. I got medium spice to start out and it had a good amount of kick. I'll be braver next time and up it a notch. It came with some jasmine rice and mint chutney that enhanced the flavor when combining them. The Momos were the perfect appetizer. Very flavorful and warm. They paired nicely with the tomato based sauce it came with. Overall this was a great first impression of Indian food, a restaurant I will come back to on my next trip to Lexington, and a cuisine that I will be searching out more on my travels!!

Was so curious as to what was going in and I'm quite pleased!…read more Didn't realize Tabla was a franchise but it's still pretty nice. Only saw a couple people inside at the time but the decor is pretty. Lots of expected items like samosas for appetizers and naan listed under breads. Appreciate that they have a lunch platter option! You get to try a whole bunch of items at a very reasonable price. Got the chicken madras with medium spice. Flavorful, but I'll probably get it a level 4. The samosa was yummy and the lemon coriander soup was more like a light broth. Rasgulla was delicious, but if you've never had the fresh cheese, the texture might throw you off! Was in a rush, so I didn't realize it until I'd driven back that we didn't get our drinks. Still very worth it!
