   Excellent and authentic Indian food. Only issue was the rushed service. They bought over our main meal twice whist we were still finishing our appetisers. I suggest that you just order your appetiser first then order main course after you’ve completed your appetiser. Nice smiley people though and we’re gracious when I told them we weren’t ready for our main course.

   Wonderful find in a sea of mediocre food choices. The aroma of spices foretold our delicious meals. A definite stop if you're in Orlando.

   The restaurant itself was very elegantly decorated. However, the food was merely average and not worth the prices charged. We brought our own wine, one white and one red, and had them sitting on the table when were told at the start of the meal that there would be a $25 charge for the corking fee. We understood this to be a flat fee, yet since we were hoping that it was a BYO, we were reluctant to pay extra for our own wine. We discussed it for a few minutes, with the server standing there. Yet after looking at the high prices on their wine list, we opted to pay it. At the end of the meal, the server said that her manager wanted to charge us $50 for the corking fee, since it was 2 bottles. We argued that this was not what we were told at the beginning of the meal, so the server left to discuss it again with the manager. Eventually, we were charged for one bottle only, but the whole experience was embarrassing and made us uncomfortable, ruining what we had hoped would be a lovely evening out.

   Awful service. Waiters and servers walking around like headless chickens. Extortionate pricing for below par food. Better to stay away. Never will go back

   Tabla Indian Restaurant - OrlandoResponded on January 11, 2023I understand you are unhappy with the food and service, but calling our staff headless chickens is not appropriate and also not respectable. Our pricing is standard pricing like the other fine dining restaurants in town.

   Indian food was delicious we ate every drop. The Thai food was terrible. But, we should have known not to order Thai food at an Indian place. The ambiance was amazing, indian food delicious but the food is overpriced in my opinion.

   Tabla Indian Restaurant - OrlandoResponded on January 11, 2023Thank you for your wonderful review. We're glad we took great care of you!! We’re glad you loved our food and our service but we are sorry to hear about the Thai food, we are definitely a Indian and Asian restaurant. We hope to see you dine in again.

   Service was very poor. We were placed at a table without menus and then the waitress came to take our order. Also the main course was brought to the table but without dinner plates. We had to ask for the menu and the dinner plates. Not impressed.

   Excellent and authentic Indian food with a wide variety of dishes served in an elegant environment by a friendly and enthusiastic wait staff. The food was hot, fresh, and delicious. Our group agreed it was among the best Indian food restaurants we had discovered and plan to dine there whenever we have the occasion to be in Orlando. We truly had an excellent experience.

   The food was ok the chicken tikka Marsala was great. The appetizers were below standards. One appetizer was not acceptable and I asked that they remove it from the bill. The waitress was extremely pushy. She tried to tell me what to order. She told me not to leave a tip instead of them removing the item. I spent $95 for a meal for two. Not worth it at all. This is one you can pass.

   Tabla Indian Restaurant - OrlandoResponded on January 11, 2023Can you please give us the whole rundown of what happened as we asked our server her side of the story and we understand her point of view that, if you had problem with the food, you should have bought it up to her or the manager before you consumed it. Since, you ate it and then asked for the item to be removed, she was not able to.

    Service was not good. They spilled sauce over one of the people in our party. We felt rushed and were not even offered dessert. We had to ask for a dessert menu. Not representative of the star rating in open table.

    Tabla Indian Restaurant - OrlandoResponded on January 11, 2023We always respect and value of our customers. We understand that you were seated but unfortunately as you dined in with us and tried to order desserts after 11PM after the kitchen was closed we were not able to take the order.

    Good food but expensive compared to other Indian restaurants that we have dined at. We asked for all of the dishes to be prepared mild, which they were however the Samosas were very spicy. I realize that these are made prior but the server should have mentioned that they are real spicy.

    I took my husband for Father’s Day to the restaurant as a surprise. He had been craving for Indian food and wasn’t aware of a good restaurant in the area. I found this one and decided to try it. The restaurant is inside the Clarion Hotel and it is simple and very nicely decorated. They actually serve, not only Indian but Chinese and Thai dishes as well. The sever came right away and was very pleasant and attentive. We started with appetizers. My husband ordered Chili paneer fish, which consisted of Asian sea bass, Chinese chili garlic sauce, onions, and bell peppers. It was delicious. It had a sweet but lightly spicy taste, which combined with the onions, pepper pieces, and the fish created an awesome experience in the palate. I had Palak chaat, which consisted of air fried spinach with a touch of sweet yogurt, ginger, and an amazing tamarind mint chutney that was to die for. The flavors exploded in your mouth. For our main dishes, my husband had the junglee lal mass lamb with garlic tomato sauce. The dish is spicy, so if you can handle that, it is a very good flavorful dish. I had the Tabla’s style homemade lamb curry. This dish builds up some spicy sensation as you eat it, but it is amazing. I mixed it with their basmati rice, which is long grained, and the meat and the curry flavors and other spices filled my mouth with pleasure. We really enjoyed this place and will be back. I loved the spices in the food and how they are prepared and presented. They didn’t have the wine I requested, but they had others to choose from and it ended up been a good choice.

    Poor server we did not get what we ordered, 45 min wait for meal. We were given cold plates then 20mins later given cold rice in stainless dishes, meal was bland. We ordered poppadoms and reminded the server half way through the meal, he forgot again and brought them out as we were leaving. As a good will gesture he offered us them free as we were walking out, we declined. Very poor restaurant.

    Service was super slow. We waited 45 minutes after we finished eating for a check and containers. Ask 6 times for togo containers. Food isnt tradtional indian flavor. Most had a trini accent, dont know if the cooks are from trini. Everything was salty. We order chili fish.. salty and ok, lamb chops and tandoori chicken.. no flavor of tandoor, salty and tasted like shan mix for seasoning, not good. Lamb biriyani was ok, chicken tikka masala had a different flavor again ok sag paneer was ok. The best thing was the naan, light and fluffy. Place was busy which maid me wonder why the food wasnt that good but maybe everyone else is used to this flavor. Service was the worst.

    My family and I had a great dining experience at Tabla. The spices were not overbearing and the food was absolutley delicious. We enjoyed the manchurian chicken, samosas, tandoori chicken, lamb chops, and two kinds of naan (garlic and butter). I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for great Indian food and friendly customer service. My family and I will return to this restaurant during our next visit to Orlando.

    We found this restaurant near-ish to the Universal area via an app. When our car pulled up to Tabla attached to the Clarion Inn we almost bailed on the spot. SO glad we did not. The food here was truly fantastic and the service very attentive and courteous. We had chicken curry, chicken tikka from the tandoor, garlic and pepper naan (hot!) and a few other things and it was all truly excellent. The ambience isn't so great but I'd still happily go back for the excellent food. This was a great surprise. Don't miss it!

    This is not your typical Open Table restaurant. It is one large bare room with absolutely no ambience where the sound bounces off the walls and the lighting is strong. While they had a display of a few bottles of wine, there were no signs of liquor, beer or wine being served. The restaurant was filled with happy, noisy families. Service was harried and inconsistent. The food was quite good and the prices were reasonable. Not a place to go for a romantic dinner! It was a bit of a drive from our resort so I would not go back, and, if I did I would do take out.

    The restaurant completely disregarded the reservation made via Open table. They were overbooked and completely clueless on how to manage the guests. We decided to wait and eat since it was too late at night to go find other restaurant. We were hoping food would be nice based on reviews that we read. Oh boy! It was disastrous - undercooked, had used spoilt oil, had to send few dishes back, server didn't know what he was serving. I wouldn't recommend to anyone

    The service and food was horrible even for Valentine's Day dinner. We had an 8 o'clock reservation when we got there the line was out the door. At around 8:30, we were informed they were running 45 minutes behind schedule and would not be honoring reservations. Instead, they would start new list with everyone in line. While waiting, we realized they were cherry picking which patrons they would sit 1st instead of going in the orders that we came in. Yes... There was definitely special preference given to hotel guest and others who looks like they were familiar with the place. Someone who had came after us was placed ahead of us. He was very apologetic and explained he was being bumped ahead of us because he had kids. I'm not sure what part of the process is that. Once, we finally got to the table after an hour it took over 20 minutes to take our order and get served even a mango lassi. When I explained how horrible one of the item was the server told me he could not exchange it. We were completely ignored after that. We still waiting for a straw, extra rice and for the waiter to tell us whether or not they have salad. Once the check arrived we realized they added an additional dollar to each of the entries. When I pointed it out to the server he said that they needed to print out new menus and the prices had changed. Definitely a horrible restaurant with some questionable practices. I would not send anybody over there to get mistreated and pay high price for food that's not even decent.

    Service & Food were good. The food is traditional North Indian food and they do make it spicy when you ask for it. But I feel it is a bit expensive. The ambiance like most Indian restaurants is an after thought. There is usually no one to greet you. I understand there is a staff shortage but in general these sort of services are just overlooked st Indian restaurants.

    They have really huge crowd and it’s noisy. They were hardly able to serve the minimum capacity. We had to wait 2 hours to get our food. Food was ok. But, the wait time was ridiculous. No one responds or provides any update on your order. We didn’t get our drinks in the meantime. We had to wait an hour to get the drinks. It was not a good experience considering how good their ratings were. I would suggest the Tabla Restaurant in Winter Park. We had great food and very responsive people at that restaurant!
