Great food- good prices. The inside of the restaurant is a little hole in the wall. Server very soft spoken, not sure if there's a cultural gap or soft spoken personality. Really appreciated the depth of flavor of these dishes in order: 1. Chicken Chettianu (sorry spelling is definitely wrong)- the curry is creamy with depth of flavor of curry leaves and cloves and multiple spices make me want to imagine what is inside 8/5 2. V chicken biryani - flavorful, great sauce, great flavor 7/5 3. Chocolate dosa - great option for a kid! Crispy dosa and chocolate sauce, not at all spicy. 5/5 4. Puri kids - puri (large) with a mildly spicy Chana. Unfortunately, too spicy for our 3 year old, but pretty great taste. 5. Palak paneer- a little bit of an iron taste, needed more cream maybe? The paneer was nice, but a little spicy. read more

Tabla Indian Restaurant - Samosa Chaat / kadai chicken / Garlic Naan - Indian Near Me - Pleasanton, California

We came by on a Sunday to try their thali lunch special. There's plenty of parking since it's part of a complex, which was nice. When we arrived, there wasn't anyone to greet us. After waiting about 15 minutes, we went inside to ask the only server if we could be seated. Another 15 minutes and a few check-ins later, we were finally shown to a table. They use a QR code for the menu, but you can't order through it. You still have to wait for someone to take your order, which took a while. We eventually got someone's attention and ordered two thalis, one egg biryani, and one dahi vada. We asked a few times to make everything mild, but it all came out closer to medium spice. The flavors were great, but it was too spicy for us to really enjoy most of the food. The chai at the end was a highlight. It's free and self-serve, and was delicious. We'd be open to coming back at a quieter time and hoping for better service and a better handle on the spice level. read more

There's definitely room for improvement here. We entered through the side entrance of the restaurant and didn't see a host or anyone to greet us, which was a confusing start. It took about 30 minutes to get seated, and there seemed to be only one waiter covering the entire dining area, so we had to flag them down each time we needed something. We ordered two thalis and an egg biryani, which we were told would be mild, but all the dishes turned out to be much spicier than expected. Unfortunately, it was too overwhelming for us to enjoy fully. That said, the flavors themselves were excellent, and it's clear the kitchen knows how to cook well. If we return, we'll be sure to ask in advance which dishes are truly mild. One thoughtful touch we appreciated: the self-serve chai station at the front. It added a nice, homey feel to the experience. read more

We ordered Takeaway and I was pleasantly surprised by the ambiance of the dining room, tastefully warm and modern for an Indian establishment. Will have to return to try eating in! We ordered: Saag Paneer Lamb Kofta Chicken Tikka Masala Garlic Naan Mango Lassi Thr cashier was polite and efficient. Their menu is impressively extensive. Our order was ready in 15 minutes exactly as promised. We ordered medium spice but the dishes seemed milder than expected. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Would love to return to try more dishes and enjoy their dining room! read more

We tried the biryani and kebab platter. Both were really good. Ambience was interesting with an interesting chaat counter but there was also some sort of junkyard visible from the windows (place could use a bit of tidying up). Service was polite, timely, no issues. read more

As a non-South Asian, I'm a little intimidated to dine at South Asian restaurants, but we had a wonderful dinner at Tabla Indian Restaurant. Due to a medical condition, I can't eat spicy food, but the food we ordered was very favorful AND not spicy. The dining area was quite spacious, and there were 2 TVs. The service was great - helpful and attentive without being obtrusive. Here's what we ordered. We had an order of Dal Fry (yellow lentil beans) ($10.00), which was probably my favorite dish of the night. The lentils were properly cooked and very tasty, and not too heavy. I loved it! Next, we had an order of Butter Chicken ($14.99) which was not spicy at all. Even though it had strips of chicken breasts, the meat was tender and juicy. I can't speak to authenticity, but it was very similar to what I expect when I order the dish. And it was a great dish to dip our naan into. Our third dish was Kadai Chicken, which was very slightly spicy, but a wonderfully seasoned dish. The chicken were chunks of dark meat simmered in a delicious, darker sauce. Also highly recommended. We also had 2 orders of plain naan ($2.99 each) and an order of basmati rice ($2.99). Both were very good. Some deets: you can order and pay on your phone, but our waiter took our order and we paid with a mobile POS device. There is a private parking lot shared with other establishments. There is some outdoor dining tables, too. We dined at 6:00 on a Wednesday night, and there were only a few other occupied tables. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience. I will definitely be back to try other dishes, and to re-order the dishes we had tonight. read more

Delicious Indian food in a casual atmosphere with friendly service! I was in the mood for Indian food and wanted to try a new place. What a find! Our friendly server Pankah gave us some great recommendations. The Banjara Chicken was incredible. Boneless pieces of chicken thighs marinated in yogurt and spices then grilled were very flavorful and juicy. The mildly spicy herby mint chutney complimented the chicken well. I liked the Dal fry-yellow lentils were spiced and creamy. I wanted a curry and the recommended Chicken Chettinadu was delicious. Tender morsels of chicken thighs in a spicy savory sauce was delicious with the garlic naan we ordered. I can't wait to come back to try more dishes! read more

We just picked up our food so I can't say anything about their service but the food was so so...I don't think I will try again.

Looks like they opened it recently. There used to be another Indian restaurant. They have digital menu. We waited for sometime for the server to take our order. But the food arrived quickly. The grilled masala fish was good so was the chicken 65. However want to clear, the picture in the menu showed two whole fishes but they served just one fillet. The naans were fresh, dal fry was yummy and chicken tikka masala was good too. The ambiance could have been better. I feel they are still setting up. The seating arrangement is bit odd . But will give them some slack. Overall good food read more

Went for dinner the Sunday before Memorial Day 2026. Enjoyed tasty Somoza chat,Lamb Gongura biriyani and Chicken Mughali biriyani. Generous portions, reasonable price and the food was tasty. Only reason for 4 stars is that the place is untidy, servers look untidy and the atmosphere untidy. The samosa chat was served in a cardboard bowl that was breaking up as you held it. Could do better on the overall presentation of the place. read more

Been to tabla multiple times and the breakfast buffet during the weekends is a hit with our kids, I love the thali on the weekdays and it's very reasonable. They have digital menu and service is usually quick on the weekdays however I felt it gets a little bit crowded for the breakfast buffet which might result in longer lines read more

Tabla Indian Restaurant - Thali - Indian Near Me - Pleasanton, California

I was cruising around looking for a place for lunch and Indian popped up. It is new to me, this Indian place. It has a large oddly configured dinning room. An QR code brought up the menu, so I ordered my garlic naan, butter chicken with rice and mango lassi. Little that I knew, that was for to order and I should have reviewed the online menu but provide my order to service person. They were able to transit it to dine order. The lassi and naan came out quickly. When the butter chicken was delivered, it was inviting to dip the naan into it. That was very satisfying. The chicken in sauce and rice made everything good. Whereas the a little heat from the sauce was making me sweet, the lassi cool me down but wish it was sweeter. All together I finished everything. It was a nice experience. read more

We visited Tabla Restaurant for the first time to celebrate my mom's birthday and were pleasantly surprised--it used to be Amaravathi the last time we came to this location. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly kind and attentive. They even offered to bring out a dessert (Apricot Shahi Tukda) with candles at the end of our meal to help us celebrate, which was such a thoughtful gesture--and to our delight, it was complimentary! As for the food and service--we were thoroughly impressed. We ordered Gobi 65 (dry), Chicken 65 (dry), Masala Fish, Garlic Cheese Naan, Masala Dosa, Chicken Fried Rice, Pav Bhaji, Goat Biryani, Banjara Chicken, Rose Milk, and Mango Lassi. Portion sizes were generous, and everything we tried tasted great--most dishes were a solid 8/10 or better. Pankaj (I believe he's the manager) was incredibly courteous, checked in on us several times, and offered spot-on recommendations. A special shout-out to the wonderful lady at the front who seated us and quietly made sure the birthday dessert--with candles and even a "Happy Birthday" song on the TV's was brought out at just the right moment. That really made our evening extra special. To top it all off, although we didn't ask for it, Pankaj generously gave us a 10% discount as a kind gesture from the restaurant. Truly epic hospitality. 10/10 experience--can't wait to come back! read more

After it has been Tabla, my experience has been all good. the food is very good specially the chicken appetizers the vegetarian gravies I tried were also very good. I have tried paneer, kofta. Thanks for the good food. I did order take out only. my only concern is the packing, one thing was leaking in the bag, they did repack it after i told them. read more

I've only done takeout here so I can't speak to the service, environment, but this is the best butter chicken I've had in years! I've done delivery twice. The first time was perfect, but the second time, (although delicious), had very little chicken and mostly sauce. Hopefully this was a fluke, but will be ordering once again to see. read more

We have been to Tabla quite a few times and used to enjoy their weekend thali (great value for money). This time, we went for Sunday dinner and were surprised to see how busy it was! We tried their papad appetizer, bread basket (which had 12 pieces), butter chicken, banjara chicken, and Andhra chicken curry. The papad appetizer could have had more sides--it only came with one. The banjara chicken and the breads were really good and fresh. Overall, it's a great place for delicious Indian food with good service! read more

This place deserves a good review. Honestly good food Good service , my go to place.

Fast service, friendly staff, and consistently good South Indian food! Prices are reasonable, especially considering how expensive many local Indian spots have gotten with inflation. They also offer specials regularly, which is a nice bonus. I've tried several dishes here over multiple visits, including the Karivepaku Chicken, Chicken 65, Non-Veg Thali, Ulavacharu Biryani, Mughlai Biryani, and Chicken Chettinad. Everything has been flavorful and well-prepared. Definitely one of my go-to places for South Indian cuisine. I'll be coming back again for sure! read more

PSA - This is not the same as the Danville location. The food here is very different. We loved the food at the Danville location so we're excited when this location opened because it actually has seating versus the Danville location which does not. But the food is not the same and service was not it. We've been twice and there won't be a third unfortunately. read more

No proper communication and bad response time when asked for menu items !! Really disappointed with service !! We called and checked for availability of Thali before going and when we went they said no more Thalis for the day !! read more

We had a hankering for Indian food and decided to head to our local spot but I was surprised to see that the Amaravathi House was changed to Tabla. We were a little hesitant because we're creatures of habit, but decided to try them out anyway. Everything we had was delicious! I ate way more than I needed to because it was so good! The service was very attentive as well. They also gave us a sweet treat for dessert, and while it was much too sweet for me, I appreciated the gesture. read more

We two went for Breakfast Buffet around 9:20 am. Horrible experience with - Food- all was COLD and not at all good taste - idli(dried). Sambhar, Vada, Pongal(dried)and Chai too. All previous made was not getting filled until the last piece was emptied from the container. Service- gave 1 star since the host/owner was considerate to get us hot Sambhar and Idli. And he microwaved the tea too. I am normally also a person who doesn't get excited to see if in a restaurant setting we have to eat in paper plate. To be honest we came back hungry and not over full like you expect on a buffet setting. read more

We ordered goat biryani , noodles, karivepaku chicken , PBM , everything is too good . Still craving for goat biryani. It's not just regular masala under and rice on top dish . It's a pure custom dish made only for goat. Got nice buttery texture to rice and meat read more

We ordered multiple biryani's , non veg thali, naan and noodles. None of the food was great. The place was very dirty and the service was subpar. When we visited this previously couple of months back, I believe they were under a different management. It was much better back then. read more

My man Pankaj came through with this one. I'm Filipino and grew up eating typical Indian food (butter chicken and naan), but I heard this was the go to spot for legit Indian food. I met someone in the parking lot that drove all the way from San Jose to eat here so you know it must be good if they skipped places in Fremont to come here. Great prices and very friendly and hospitable staff! I'm addicted to their chai!! read more

We had the pleasure of working with Tabla Indian restaurant in Pleasanton for catering for our daughter's Baptism reception, and they truly delivered an exceptional experience. The food was absolutely delicious, every single item was full of flavor and perfectly prepared. At most events, there are usually one or two dishes that are just okay, but in this case, every item was a hit with our guests. We received so many compliments on how tasty everything was. The presentation was also beautifully done. The setup looked stunning, and we appreciated the clear signage with dish names and the caterer's name. It looked really professional. A special highlight was the live chaat counter, which was a huge hit! Guests loved it and kept going back for more, it really added a fun, interactive element to the celebration. Thank you for helping make the day so memorable with amazing food and service. Highly recommend! read more
