    Fabulous Birthday lunch at Tabla today. The staff was so kind and generous providing a complimentary dessert with a candle. Extra servings of bread, Rice and refills on dipping sauces. Took photos of my sister and I to make the visit extra special. We will be back very soon Best Indian restaurant in town

    Lamb korma and shrimp biryani.
    John G.

    Good service and better Indian cuisine than other restaurants in the area is why we sometimes end up here. This time I ordered lamb korma spicy. The garlic, cardamom and ginger flavors were dominating, but overall the flavors were a bit off, as expected. It's possible too much salt caused this. My wife had the shrimp biryani with medium spice. Cardamom flavor came though, but it seemed deadened.

    Lentil soup
    Joe E.

    The food was disappointing: Tandoori chicken was not fully cooked and some parts looked raw. We ordered the Lentil soup which was watery, overpowered with garlic, and lack any lentils. The tandoori naan was overcooked, the tandoori fish was basically taste like fish in a puree tomato sauce. The Biryani was made with chicken breast, which is not authentic at all because you are missing out on the true flavor and experience of eating a biryani dish. The entire menu is overpriced. For three people, $145 would seem fair if the was truly authentic Indian food. I ordered curry chicken, which was described as chicken on bone, my dish came with steam chicken breast in a curry sauce. When I brought it to the waitress attention, she said it how they make it for white Americans. Well they shouldn't advertise themselves as Authentic Fine Indian Cuisine. The service is ok.

    DO NOT EAT HERE! My wife almost broke a tooth on a small METAL BALL that she found in her saag paneer that we got from their takeout. I called the restaurant immediately to let them know, and the person I spoke with acted as if this was not an unusual occurrence. He said these things "sometimes happen" (wtf?). He apologized and offered to refund the entire meal no questions asked. The owner whose name is Vbabu subsequently texted me and asked for a photo (see attached). So, several weeks passed and no refund. When I texted to ask about it, the owner said he would call me. A month later, nothing. This is completely unacceptable! I spent $140 on a meal that I could not allow my wife and child to eat, and the owner of the restaurant could not care less! There are several better Indian restaurants in Ridgewood so do not risk this happening to you! No wonder every time I go there, it is empty. Well I will not be going back, that's for sure! I dare say if you care about the safety of your family you won't either!

    Mango Lassi
    Darren S.

    Recently got the app, "Doordash", and was hunkering for some indian food for quite some time. My keywords for the search: pakoras and naan. No sooner did I find the page for this restaurant, "Tabla Fine Indian Cuisine". Looking through there menu, my appetite grew. I not only orders a side of vegetable pakoras and garlic naan, I also ordered a DELICIOUS lamb rogan josh, and to wash it all down, a classic mango lassi. I ordered around 6:45, and my food came at about 7:20, not too bad for delivery. The food did get a bit cold on arrival, but I did reheat my food. Let's start: I was craving onion pakoras, but there were simply "pakoras" on the app, so I assume its a veggie-medley pakora. It is strong on squash/pumpkin if you like that flavor...I'd give that a 4/5. Delicious, but that squash is filling! The LAMB ROGAN JOSH was something I was looking forward to, because I've seen many people order it and say it's amazing. I loved it! Only downside? I wanted more meat! There was a lot of sauce to clean-up with the garlic naan, but I was done with meat (+rice) REAL QUICK. I think it's part appetite, but also part inflation. Whatever the reason it was gone too soon! Lastly, I got the mango lassi. I put it in the fridge to get cold again. What can I say? It's a wonderful fruity, smooth drink that washes all the spicy food down and gives me a fresh palette. There mango lassi has a slight hint of cardamum, fyi. Besides the meat issue and pumpkin-heavy pakoras, this place was a gem! 4/5! Would recommend!!

    Bullet Naan
    Mufti A.

    Overview: very good Indian food with a great staff What I got: Papad Pakoras Lasuni gobi Chicken momos Trio kebab platters Chicken korma Chicken tikka Bullet naan Cream cheese naan Madras coffee Ras malai The papad were warm enough but still crispy. The momos although on a softer side were very flavorful and had a nice spicy kick to it. Edges were a little burnt which added a great depth of crispness to it. Got the tandoori trio platter. The red chicken was lacking a bit of salt but still very flavorful. The malai chicken was amazing. Very well blend of spice and creaminess. The green chicken was good too. Pakoras were a bit oily and lacked a bit of salt. But still very good and crunchy. Lasuni gobi was amazing. Had great flavor and a spicy after effect. Loved it and would absolutely recommend getting these. My mouth is still embering The chicken korma was good. A little different style than I have had before but it's really good. The chicken tikka masala was good too but might have been a bit too tomatoy for me. Nonetheless it was good and full of flavor of course. The bullet naan was crispy and absolutely amazing. The cream cheese naan .. not sure how I feel about it yet. One one hand it should go with everything but on the other hand - it shouldn't. It's down to your preference. On its own it was good. With the curries, I don't know. The madras coffee was normal coffe with a slight spice and milk blend. Had the ras malai for dessert and it did not disappoint. Spot on!! Overall the restaurant was great! Service was great! I went off peak ours generally when other Indian restaurants and closed and I was there for about 2 hours and they were very attentive even when the place started filling up Ambience was great - beautiful and classical decour. Spacious and well lit.

    We've been here about five or six times and comment to each other every time about how consistently good the food is. The decor is very pleasing and when you sit down, you will always be asked about your preferred spice level. Recently we tried the salmon tikka and the coconut salmon. Both have beautifully cooked salmon and just the right spice level. We will continue to come back as often as we can.

    I judge almost all Indian Restaurants based on how good their Biryani is, and this was definitely not good. For the price ($28 for Chicken Biryani), neither the quality nor quantity was good. Chicken Lollipop and Gravies that I had ordered were pretty good though, and if I had just tried that, I would have probably given them 4 or 5 Stars, but the Biryani was a huge disappointment. I would recommend this place for Appetizers and Curries

That was a sophisticated quiet lounge space with chill modern music and dark lighting and a host that was professional and effective. the food was incredible. however despite the sign in the window now, this isn't tashan. Gone is the calm and conducive atmosphere and now it's brightly lit, vibrating at times with loud Indian music and not the same. My last 45 minutes spent there had a host or manager basically yelling into the phone in the dining area 10 feet from me so loudly that the kindly waiter volunteered an apology because they were catering the next day. i actually had said nothing but that's how loud this guy was on the phone. i was the only diner. on a saturday night. All of these while mildly unpleasant details aren't why i'm not returning. it was the food. tashan's chicken tikka marsala had huge succulent cubes of chicken and quite a few immersed in a creamy incredible sauce. Now? Half the portion with six or seven stringy chunks of chicken in bland sauce. the enormous saddle size Naan of Tashan? Now it's the same size but this bread was lukewarm, flat, thin and bland. Samosas? Also not very tasty and were doughy. And the mango lassi with a thin cardboard straw took forever to suck out of the cup as it was medicine thick but was ok i guess. it saddens me to know an eatery that was so top notch is gone. Cook recently left - host returned to India. all good things come to an end.

And originally only came with maybe 5 pieces of bread total which def wasn't enough for a party of 5 and 3 big plates of hummus. THE DRAMA- A waitress or the owner? She was holding a plate that I assume was my stew and I said that's mines and she automatically said no it's not mines...hmm ok my fault...yet turns out it was mines...she wasn't the person who took my order yet assumed it wasn't mines nor asked "did you order Gheymeh Bademjoon?" I found that off putting but shrugged it off, maybe I was just starving from not enough bread for all that hummus which was freaken delicious. We had a few main entrees and everything was tasty and def authentic with all those unique flavors. I did put the hummus over my rice for extra flavor, didn't want to toss them out. Overall it's a good spot, one of a kind of flavors you don't have often. My group left full but not exactly satisfied? Oh it's also a BYOB place. Not sure I would go back though.
