REVIEWS OF Tabla Indian Restaurant - NC IN South Carolina

Akhil Kumar

The best Indian restaurant in Charlotte! One can get a delicious food here. Overall it is a pretty good restaurant in all aspects .

Kenneth Etter

Excellent experience even though our company contacted them for a holiday lunch (for 40+) at the last minute, staff was awesome, friendly and professional. Food was great, served buffet style with immediate refills on any dish as it got empty. Definitely would recommend this as a lunch or dinner choice if Indian buffet is an option.

This is the best Indian food in all of Charlotte. I ate there today for the buffet and everything was absolutely delicious!!! The staff there is very friendly but nothing beats the great food!! I am lucky that I only live 10 mins away, try this place out if you love Indian food like i do :)

Danielle Earnhardt

Some of the best indian food I've ever had, and it has excellent service. Highly recommend!

Damo Muppuri

This restaurant is like no other desi food joints. I have been to Charlotte couple of times and have tried this restaurant. The Vijayawada biryani is very special, taste is uncomparable and gives you an authentic indian taste. Another item that is out of this world is the grilled fish, this one is incredibly light and flaky, mouthwatering, and perfect with wine. Next time will try other items. The only thing lacking here is a wide array of wines.

Norah Payne

the service was friendly and sociable. this place has a cool design.

sudhakar sa

Nice Restaurant. Prices are average. Good service. Food is good and home like. Best place to go with family to grab food fast.

Blake Hunter

I come here often for the vijayawada biryani and the food used to be delicious. But, there was change in the management recently and so did the taste as well. Quality is degrading day after day.

Sarathy Partha

Was having my son's second birthday party and Had ordered food for 25 persons... Manjesh provided with menu option and was really helpful...the food was nicely packed and was more than enough for the guests.. everyone liked the food And most importantly the cost was within my budget

buchi cherukuri

The best Indian restaurant in Charlotte area…The food is always divine here! We have ordered food for my daughter birthday party with around 70 guests…. food was delicious and authentic homemade Indian food with high-quality. Everyone commented on how amazing the food was and where I ordered. I recommended to my friend for his house warming and he also ordered and he was very happy with food. Would highly recommend for party orders, lunch and dinner. Indian flavors !! All here in one place.

Arvind Namasivayam

Tabla is one of the best Indian restaurants in Charlotte area and our very favorite!!! The food is amazing and great service too. We have catered from Tabla couple. We are very satisfied with quality and quality of food, plus a great service!

Kimberly DeJesus

Visited for the first time after the restaurant changed names 2 years ago. As I walked up to the door, the aesthetics of the outside were lacking. Tint was peeing off the doors, closed sign was not lit but hanging crooked in window. As I entered I immediately noticed a difference in the ambiance. It was much more casual than the previous setup. There was a drink dispenser off to the right by the checkout that had a plate under it with residual dried liquid. It caught my attention as this is not what I am used to seeing here. The buffet was ok. It didn't have a great variety but the flavors of the food were pretty good. Naan was over baked, crispy and dry. There was a side of chickpeas off to the left of the buffet on an extra large serving dish. The dish wasn't covered and was completely exposed to the open air and anything floating by. Service was mediocre. The waitress came by once to take our used plates but didn't check on us at all. Their were used napkins on the floor that the staff walked by several times and no one picked up. There was plenty of water available at room temperature. Pitchers were provided but no ice. Although the food was good for the little that I tried, I probably won't go back. There are other Indian restaurants in the area that offer good food, clean ambiance a d more attentive service for the price.

Suman Gandhe

We just love the food here. I would say the best Indian restaurant in Charlotte area. I’ve been here several times and was never disappointed. Samosa chat is on the top.

Manoj Santhi

Both the times I visited this place I was not very impressed by their service. Could be better and more professional. Long wait times even when there are many vacant tables. Cleanliness need to be improved. Smudgy glass doors and shabby front desk make you wonder how things are in the kitchen.

Barath Jayaraman

The food is too good. Authentic South Indian food. Not oily as well like many other restaurants. The service is just great. They always serve with a big smile. I have been here for buffet, got go to boxes in buffet and also ordered take outs few times. It's really rare to see an Indian restaurant that is very consistent with the taste everytime and not even a single bad experience with the service. I wish they open a branch in Fort Mill

Hemanth S

The food is tasty, I would definitely recommend the ulvachar chicken biryani!!

Armando Castro

Dudes are polite and food is awesome. Super recommended.

Ms. Kaye Crozier

Very authentic Indian food. The wait staff was very courteous.

Surya Prava Biswas

average run-off-the-meal south Indian restaurant. Makes me sadly miss real Indian cuisine from India. These South Indian Restaurants in USA are no match to the restaurants in India.

Kaushik Chavan

I only use one criterion when I evaluate an Indian restaurant. The answer is always a very binary thumbs up or down. "Is this just like some of the great food I knew growing up in India?" Yes!!

Jessie Semach

I'm not a big foodie, but I love Indian food! And this place definitely fit the bill! The food was awesome and the service was great!

Jimy George

Great value on weekend buffets, included mango lassi and spiced tea. Usually spicy and cause heartburn afterwards from overeating, but worth it! Packed during main lunch hours and not a huge space, so may need to wait a few minutes for a table.

Maverick 1979

Very poor customer experience. Waited for 15 mins and could see they seating other customers in front of you who just cuts the line in front. They are not even apologetic and I had to literally walk away than dining here. You need to have a proper table management for better patronage

bindu jandhyala

Good place for indian food

Ranjit Raveendran

We had our Daughter’s first birthday at Tabla’s party hall, food was awesome and delicious at an affordable cost.Every Guest liked the food and so appreciative.Definitely a 5 star from my side as Tabla is the best in south Charlotte.

Sharease Pattillo

Had an issue with my food, contacted the manager and he made everything right with me. He went above and beyond what I feel a manager should do....I will continue to eat here after the great service I've received.

Aarti Pathak

Good Food. Everything was delicious. Uttapa, Kheer, Gulabjamun, pakodas, chicken fry, Paneer butter masala, biryani! Everything. Service is good as well.

Jatin Shetty

Amazing food! Completely unexpected... The manager of the place also came and spoke to us. Really nice people.

Lili P

Tabla was a wonderful surprise. We had previously came here when it had more southern indian dishes. As soon as we saw that it changed oownership and I am so glad we did. Each dish is full of flavor with vegetarian simosas, channa masala, Gobi stew dish, sambar, and many more vegetarian dishes as well as a selection of fish, chicken and goat dishes.The meats were made from tandori style to curried. For dessert that have some indian sweets that you just cannot say no to. Would highly recommend.

Mona g m

Buffet has variety and is low priced on weekdays

Vasanthi Areekath

Bad service. Long wait

Ajinkya Mane

Great food ...definitely try old monk beer and vijaywada special biryani

Debasis Bhattacharyya

Best Biryani in Charlotte area

David Gilman

The best Indian food in Charlotte. The lunch buffet is great, it's pretty busy too (the secret is out!) so you might have to wait for seating.

Amit Sharma

Very good food and we had party for Birthday, must visit.

Maliks Haddad

Very good flavorful food.We all enjoyed this food.This is the best Indian food. We love it!

R K

Haven’t tried the menu. But free chai is amazing!

bala achuth

Plates are not that much clean. And items are very few in buffet and poor in taste. But location is too much hotter with poor air conditioning. And server to aggronat towards the customers.

George

The buffet is to die for... Not literally but figuratively. The Goat Curry is amazing by the way

Sujin Pringle

Went here for a birthday party. Big enough to seat 50 odd people. Place was clean, they even have people who will take care of decorations for the party. Food was good. Overall has a nice party hall

Farah Naz

Tabla was pretty good food, that was served pretty quickly. I tried the chili chicken, the pepper goat curry, reshmi chicken was good after being paid with the cilantro chutney, and all the naans (plain, garlic,and cheese) were awesome. The chicken biryani was nothing to rave about, but the chicken in the biryani was seasoned very well. The price was decent for the quantity of food, a couple of people can easily share a dish.

Ashwin Kamath

Excellent food. We had an event organized in the banquet hall adjacent to the restaurant. Manjesh (owner) was honest about the food options and the portions needed. We went with his suggestions and it turned out to be a wise decision. Food was really good and all the guests had excellent time . Staff was also very helpful . Will recommend for sure.

Vijay K

Service quality is very poor, after getting a table we had to ask around 3 to 4 time's for water. After placing the order for about 5 minutes one person comes out and tells us that sorry we ran out of food it was not even closing time. Then we placed different item's and requested to keep spicy level to mild [for kids] but they didn't care and made it very spicy. On top of all this for 3 adults and 2 kids they have charged service charge of 18%.

edukondalu gonuguntla

I visited Charlotte and tried here. I really loved the food here. I tried nonveg and taste is really good. Its Hyderabad biryani style. Worth trying here. Go for it.

ManikandaPrabhu Sathasivam

I bought food for my Daughter’s birthday party from Tabla. Food was awesome and delicious. Every Guest liked the food, Especially the Vijayawada Chicken Briyani. Food was with right level of spice and perfect taste. Based on my guest count they have suggested me the food quantity for my party was more than good enough. Reasonable price, Easy Dealing and authentic taste. Definitely a 5 star for Tabla.

John Ruskin

Very tasty and excellent service.

Nirm Patel

Amazing flavor can't believe I didn't stop in until now! Great tasting Indian food, typical Desi flair and haphazard service but if you love great taste you gotta stop in!

Shweta Jawandhiya

We had a party here, guests enjoyed the food. It was yummy Food, Easy dealing. Would recommend for sure!

Raji Senthil

They catered food for 40 ppl. The food was tasty. The service was on time and made life easy.

Rakib Islam

One of the best Indian buffets ever. Period. I have rarely seen an Indian buffet with quality moist grilled chicken. The goat biriani is fresh, meaty and endless. Head over for a treat.

Archana shah

Good food not much variety..

Victoria Kioroglo

It was OK. I'm not really fund of the Indian food, so I can't really trully criticize it. Their food is spicy and hot. Some people love that. I liked their carrot havla. It was good.

Atifa Ishaq

One of the best Indian restaurant in North Carolina. The food is incredibly delicious and the taste is very consistent. Every item we tried on the menu is excellent. Never disappointed. We really enjoy their lunch buffet as well, especially on weekends. While everything is delicious on their menu, their biryani’s and tandoori items are a must haves. Owner is also very humble and professional. Would definitely recommend this place to everyone.

brian gleason

Very authentic, flavorful Indian cuisine! We really enjoyed the food and interacting with the friendly staff. We will definitely be back to eat at Tabla again.

Chandrasekhar Rao

We are regular visitors to Tabla nowadays.Most of the times service and food quality are good but yesterday the service was pathetic.The main course served before starter and nans were served without main course to one of the other customers. We have waited for items for more than 45 minutes. When I asked manager, the simple answer was that they had too many orders. When you can not handle too many orders, Do not accept them. I hope the service will be handle better when you have many orders.

chandra sekhar alluri

All items excellent verities , delicious and tasty.

Gayatri Patil

Recently I attended a get-together and food was really good, especially Dahi Vada was very soft and tasty. Enjoyed curry and Biryani as well!!

Kira Siri

Typical desi restaurant, poor service and food. Went for Buffet, no alacarte on weekends, poor service and food. Fruit juice served in sampler cups, they dont even attend table and ask for drinks. Very soon you will see a different restaurant, no wonder why indian restaurants change owners locations so often.

Rakesh Harish

Great quality food! If you want some delicious appetizers and brilliant biriyanis just head straight to this place. The quantity is great too. Best in Charlotte...

Prasad Reddy Gandham

One of the best INDIAN FOOD around me. Serving with smiles adds more flavor to the food. Best service Best food Best place

NIRMAL PATEL

Liked the ambience and food was okay too. Service could be little faster as we were alone.

Nadja Alem

The food is good if you go and order from the menu. Since they have to prepare each plate they take in consideration how spicy you would like your meal. But if you go to the buffet hours and you are not spicy tolerant your stomach will suffer. Don’t get me wrong I like spicy food but lately the food is so spicy hot that you can’t even enjoy the food or finish your plate.

swathi rayabarapu

We ordered food from Tabla for our daughter’s 1st birthday..The food is amazing and delicious.. I would definitely recommend to my friends and family.

Nick C

Fruit on the counter was black and stale when we got it to the notice of the person working there he was rude and said that's its fresh I got a pic to prove below .very bad service and bad attitude from mr Chandar he show know how to talk to customers too

Aswin Yedlapalli

I had a party order recently. While everything was great, the boneless chicken biryani and karvepak chicken were in a league of their own. Very helpful with suggestions as well. Will definitely go back again

Chander Bhatt

friendly staff & very good service ..love the food ...Akbari chicken kadai..fantastic place for indian food ...

Alex Lind

Ordered takeout which was available 30 minutes late. They did offer me a free drink at the end of my wait, but really the food was too slow. It wasnt the best Indian in the area, but ok for takeout.

Bindhu Subramanian

Catered for my daughter’s birthday. Chicken 555 was the highlight. The quantity was more than enough and everyone loved the food. Even kids started enquiring from where food was :)

Jessica Kord

Great service but mostly it's the food.. SO DELICIOUS and fresh

Prerit Singh

Absolutely love their food. Definitely recommend trying their Lunch Buffets if you are in Ballantyne.

Ramya Rajendran

Chicken Briyani was good. Malai kofta was sweet, lot of raisin(kismis) taste. didn't like much.

Sasendra Krishna

This was a different place before. It was bad. Then Tabla management took over almost over 6 or 7 months ago. And this place has been consistent everytime I visited, ordered through Uber eats, ordered their lunch at work services. Amazing place. Great taste and service. Clean restaurant. Food is worth every penny and more. 100% recommended.

CICF Fellowship

We catered for a big event (around 250 people)in December. The food was excellent! Both Indians & Americans loved it!! We even had plenty leftover. Manjesh took care of the details & even suggested some ideas for us regarding what to order. The food was a BIG HIT among the guests!! They came in & set up & food was hot & fresh. Thank you Manjesh & Tabla! We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Tabla for both dine in & catering!! Hema & David

Vinod Kumar

Enjoyed the nice spread of biryani for the dinner. One of the best place to enjoy authentic South Indian food.

Christina Ramadhan

Great restaurant with tasty Indian food. Lunch buffet is a great value.

Rafael Alcazar

Tabla restaurant is a basic dishes buffet type Indian restaurant. It is a simple setting, at a simple price. On a weekday lunch, it offers 4 variations of chicken. Tandoori, massala, curry were my choices. Along with these offers, there were 4 rice dishes, a couple of other accompanying dishes and naan bread. Also dessert, salad and water bottles. Everything was flavorful and true to its base. Easy access, plenty of parking, clean. Set lunch price:$9.00 +tax. Not bad at all.

Priyanka Jadhav

The food we had was delicious. It's a must visit restaurant.

Varsha Reddy

The food is really good. And the ambience of the place is nice. Would definitely recommend it!

Arun V L

We celebrated our daughter’s birthday in Tabla. Tasty and quality food served . Restaurant has a party hall based on prior booking and we have used this space for our party. Overall a good option for parties with tasty food.

Daniel Branham

It's a little hole-in-the-wall, but the food was buffet style and it was very good

SURENDRA ANGADI

Its good for veg and non-veg dishes

Raghavender Kukunoor

We order take out frequently and food is always great. Family packs are great.

Mriganka Sarkar

Great food great price

paddy Engineer

Amazing food, friendly staff..! We celebrated our Son’s birthday party recently. Despite short notice, staff here did all their best to make sure party goes well. Food was very tasty, moderate spicy as we needed. Party has was enough and we were granted early access to do decorations. We left very happy and would repeat again for sure. Keep up the good work guys.

Padmaja Chowdary

One of the best places to go for authentic Indian food! I love the flavors at Tabala and the staff is really friendly and helpful. Wide selection of good quality, delicious food. Excellent Service!!

Chakradhar

Best chicken biryani I had in ballantyne area.

Bobby wilson

GREAT FOOD, good prices!

AmithKidu

This probably is the best south Indian restaurant in South Charlotte. I have dined in and more often have done pick up orders and both times haven't been disappointed. Very consistent. Lot of options on the menu to try out from. They have different spice levels such that authentic taste seekers are not disappointed. Lately they have introduced several different types of biriyanis which makes their menu even more versatile. I hope they keep up the standard.

Jessica Parker

Love love love the food. Always friendly staff too!!

s gupta

Great place to enjoy flavorful food. We do a lot of take outs from this place and every time we get the same consistent flavors (which is rare). The biryanis and chicken appetizers are amazing and worth a try.

Satrajit Chaki

We went there for the Sunday lunch buffet. Food quality was good, if not exceptional, we liked. The space is not adequate to handle the Sunday lunch buffet crowd and felt too cramped. Some of the key non vegetarian items took ages to refill. In fact, one of them never got filled even after around 10-15 minutes wait, and then we left. On the whole, not a very bad experience, but also makes sense to explore other options for weekend Indian lunch buffet later.

Divya AMRITH

We always enjoy their VijayWada Biryani. I hope they retain the quality always. Their Manchurian is good too. I found the chilli chicken tasty but slightly dry. We enjoy Tabla food.

Bruce Johnson

Food 5, service a 3. But will definitely be back. They do a lunch buffet weekdays during lunch and on weekends. I wish they would make better labels for the buffet items for people that are not familiar with native Indian Dishes

Siddharth Jaiswal

Great place for Indian food. We ordered for a small party at home and our guests as well as us enjoyed the food. Spice level was good for kids as well as adults

Satish Sivasubramanian

Not sure if the price is right for the special buffet on July 4, but enjoyed the food

Leo

I had visited this place twice for Buffet and it was very good. Based on that experience catered from Tabla. Easily the best Catering experience I have had (order process, pricing, delivery, setup, TASTE, quantity and follow-ups to ensure everything was ok). All the guests made explicit compliments on the taste of the food. Thank you Tabla for exceeding exceptions

Tabitha Leeds

Update: after posting, the manager reached out to me and I was able to go back and eat at a different time and the website is being updated. Great customer service and the kids were right. The food is great. Thank you Table for being willing to listen and help correct the concern. The restaurants website has no information about the buffet or hours. It also does not state that if they are serving the buffet then no menu items can be ordered. My kids really wanted to eat here so I looked and made sure the menu had items that would accommodate my good allergies. We arrived and after my kids had gotten food were told I could not order anything separate. So I had to watch my family eat. I explained that it was an allergy and was told it did not matter. The kids said the food was good.

Jennifer Bazarov

Absolutely best Indian food in Charlotte. Speedy service, clean, and very reasonably priced. Do not often review places but this place definitely earned it.

IDo Care

Great buffet, freshly made and versatile selection of dishes. Excellent lunch choice in the area, in my opinion. Maybe there should be additional explanation regarding ingredients, I am not as well versed and wasn’t sure what the different dishes are, and also what are the condiments they offered. I am sure though they would’ve explained, but I didn’t bother asking. Overall - very good experience.

BHAVIK BAKSHI

The place may not look lively compared to some other restaurant chains but don't go with that. It us still decent place. Very good food. Authentic taste. I am vegetarian and I have only tried Biryani and couple other items but you can go wrong with Biryani. Expect a little longer wait (that takes away 1 star) but worth it. Quantity of Biryani is good so careful if you are in group.

Pankaj Shrivastava

Delicious food and great service... must recommend for catering service I order for an event and every thing was delicious... boneless chicken biryani, malai kofta, paneer chilli are best from what we ordered. Food Quantity was also perfect.

Mark Brinton

Enjoyed the new thali options, you have the option of getting vegetarian or meat. The vegetarian thali the day I went was well spiced, and was interesting to try some of the dishes. Downgrading my review to three stars due to a piece of a spoon in one of the dishes.

Anurag Giri

Good indian buffet with limited veg and non veg options. Wide options available on buffet on weekend with weekend buffet price. They also have al a carte option where biryani is best in the menu.

Dipanshu Roy

Lot of buffet items but not enough space to sit and enjoy food

Niranjana R

Awesome indian food.

TARUN REDDY

Good buffet on weekends!

Raman P

The food is incredibly delicious and the taste is very consistent. Every item we tried on the menu is excellent. Never disappointed. One of the best Indian restaurant in Charlotte area.

Carlos Alonso

The reason I decided to write this review is because this is one to many times that this restaurant's buffet has made us sick with ridiculously and unnecessarily hot food. The restaurant serves very good food and even made me stop going to my other "go to" Indian restaurant in town for a while. Ordering a la carte is great and pretty consistent. Probably the best butter chicken I've had. The problem lays with the lunch and weekend buffet. The food is inconsistently cooked. One day everything will be very enjoyable and balanced, but more times than none, especially lately, the food would be ridiculously spicy to the point of making it indelible, uncomfortable and even making you sick. I have a pretty high tolerance to hot food but sometimes its just impossible to eat, making you waste money on a buffet that you can't even finish half a plate. This issue is not with just one or two dishes offered, but with every single item on the buffet. It appears that they have some cooks with a heavy hand with the masalas and others not so much. Also, as a restaurant, they should worry more about their customers. They have been focusing on catering large events sometimes neglecting their customers, either not giving you proper service or making you wait a ridiculous amount of time for food, because their kitchen staff is too busy preparing a catering order. They would even sell out certain dishes even after you order them because of this. This restaurant has a lot to offer and with more consideration to other palates, and not just their hindu patrons , it would be the best Indian restaurant in town.

Sandeep Kamalanath

We had catered food from tabla resturant for my son’s birthday event. Food was excellent and tasty. EVERYONE in the event APPRECIATED and LIKED the food. Appetizers chicken 555 was juicy and fantastic. Baby corn Manchurian and Paneer butter masala was awesome. Naan was soft. Chicken chettinad and goat(soft and very well cooked) curry was spiced up perfect and tasty. Best Vijayawada biriyani I had so far, it was the highlight( it got over). Gajjar halwa was sugared perfect. Veg biriyani was tasty as well. Manjesh from resturant helped me in ordering the right quantity based on the people count. Riju was very helpful and very welcoming at the resturant. I would strongly recommend anyone to confidently to go with catering order.

Devaraju Rajagopal

We didn’t dine there .we ordered takeout and it was ready on time.The food we ordered was good and tasty.Paneer briyani family pack has sizable quantity.Chicken 65 and chicken lalipop was tasty and kids liked it very much.Butternan was soft and good.

Supratim Bhattacharya

In one word it's 'Awesome'. I hosted my daughter's birthday party there and food was truly very tasty with the perfect blend of spices, ingredients and every guest loved it. Moreover, staffs are very helpful and well behaved, they really made our life easy to make the occasion successful. I highly recommend this place for a perfect destination for Indian cuisine.

Sundaresen Bhalasubramanean

I can say quality of the good is good here. Service can be improved a lot. I ordered a dish first, only to get a response from the waiter that the dish is unavailable after 10 minutes. Finally ordered a Vijayawada Special Boneless Chicken Biriyani.They have marked this dish as a best seller. It tastes good but I can only accept it as a chicken fried rice and definitely not as a Biriyani. Rice wasn't flavorful enough to account it as a Biriyani.

Rishi Nair

Ordered mild spicy biryani . Came out to be almost non edible + very spicy biryani . Butter chicken was very good .

purnachandrarao kakkera

Very good and also price is too good

Jaikrishna V.S

Does not really matter a lot when your waiter lies to you on your face ! We recently had a bad experience while visiting Tabla. It all began pretty decently till we were done with the starters, which was pretty decent. The biriyani's we ordered was below average. The main bummer however came when did not receive our check and decided to go over and pay at the desk. Our waiter Ve***(not putting up the name, was in the receipt) billed us up. I asked if the tip was added and he replied with a 'No'. The amount that popped up on the screen looked a bit on the higher side for the 5 dishes we ordered, so I asked him again, 'Are you sure the tip is not already added ?'. He replied firmly with a 'No, it's not'. So, I went ahead and added a decent percent as the Tip as the device prompted and just entered my email I'd for getting a detailed receipt in my inbox. I didn't give too much thought into it until I received my receipt at a later stage in my inbox. I had apparently tipped the waiter twice and ended up paying close to 45 % extra as tips alone ! My problem here is not the % or the amount that I paid for the pretty average service and courtesy, it's the blatant lie by the waiter that is the problem. He lied to my group twice, all for a few bucks. You, sir, lost your restaurant a customer and some Goodwill with that gesture. Edit (To the Owner's response): Really appreciate the reaction from your side and glad to know that corrective measures were taken from your side to make sure the incident is an one off. As I already mentioned, my primary concern was about the gesture and not the money involved and hence my friends and I are good with your response alone. As for the rating, we will update it based on our next visit :)

Hemantha Krishna Chandra Sekhar Chundi

Excellent eating experience.. from walking in the door and being greeted by employee, seated and drink order taken, was maybe 5 minutes. Meal was served hot and excellent taste...

Akhila C

Great quality food and it tastes really good. Tabla Food@Work - Good quality with right quantity and on time delivery. Hope everyone enjoys the food.

Murali Krishna Pinnaka

I would have seen reviews and come to this place but I didn’t do that. I realized very late.

Abhilash Nukal

Had a better experience 2nd time. Vijaywada spl biryani was nice.

VenkataRamesh Kommoju

One of the best indian cuisine in Charlotte. Polite staff and good range of South Indian dishes. They customise the spice level based on your request. Had a good time with my good friend. Wonderful, and worth for repeat visits.

Kristin Sherman

I have been here twice and they are not very friendly, but last night the guy up front was talking on the phone and completely ignoring all of the customers in line. After 10 minutes, I got fed up and left. I have never seen such rude and unprofessional service before. I will never be returning.

Kowshik Bachu

All most every item from menu is good. Hyderabad bonless biryani & Gobi Manchurian must try.

Angelina Bell

This place is absolutely outstanding. Feeling here is like a restaurant in Fort Worth I liked.

Devangi Derasari

Food was very tasteless. We ordered the sabjis we usually order and it was too sweet and one of the sabji had wrong ingredients. Very disappointed with the food this time. May be they have a new chef but food was not what we had eaten before.

Abhijit Shirodkar

This typical south indian restaurant. If you are fan of south indian food then visit this place. They offer north indian dishes with touch of south india. Buffet is good( weekends)

Giti Khosravi

Authentic Indian buffet...right spice levels...staff is very friendly, courteous and awesome customer service. Joyce, chander and Hubbert are the best.

Sruthi Srinivasan

The food was really good and the service was quick.

harshada kadam

The music is unpopular old Hindi songs which make the ambience ok. The food is good. Ambience is good.

Kiesha Clay

My first time here and definitely not my last. If you desire authentic Indian cuisine hands down the BEST I ever tasted. The curried goat, butter and bullet naan ( made with green chiles), paneer tikka masala and Gongura chicken curry oh my goodness I can't tell begin to explain the layers of spices and love put into these dishes. Nestled in a small strip mall 15025 Lancaster Hwy in Charlotte. Make a special trip....I'm so serious you will fall in love!

Larry Hinshaw

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience

Alpesh Suthar

Great food and service. Perfectly well cooked food. I have only tried vegetable dish’s on this trip.

Chris Sullivan

Really good place. The lunch buffet had a great variety including things I've never tried before. I love how they separate vegetarian and non vegetarian items. It has a lot more heat than many of the other places in Charlotte.

Shailen Gaddam

Requested for catering service. Must say great food and service. The owner is very friendly and volunteers to help throughout the process. This is arguably among the 2-3 authentic Indian restaurants in Charlotte with high quality food.

John Dye

Wow this place has changed. It used to be a buffet, banging Bollywood music, kinda noisy but laid back, a little expensive but the buffet was so so good. Now, the Bollywood TVs are off, the buffet is gone, the food is expensive, though I will admit still tastes good. The phone rings incessantly.

Raj Peddisetty

Great food. Management strives their best to improve quality. One of the best indian restaurants I’ve been to. Always - fresh, high quality and delicious food. Truly authentic Indian food. Very generous portions.

The worst experience ever had. Their management is not that much response. Inside Air conditioning is not working at only inside temperature is like 80 degrees. At last coming to food it doesn’t cook properly.

What a gem! I love Indian Cuisine. I haven't had Authentic Indian Food in a while. It was very flavorful. The spices were on point 100% . And I loved that that had a pretty good vegetarian selection. This was the best!!! I would totally recommend this place to family and friends. ALSO the staff and owners were very kind and courteous! The Mango Lassi was on the house! I had 2! Yum!

Gongura goat!!! Their best. Starters were bad. But main course like curries and biryanis worth the money. Warning:: Gongura goat or chicken - Spicy!!! No way of changing them to mild. Also they raste better that way. :-).

Veyty tasty food...just loved it...

Kevin Martin

Really wonderful food with options that aren't too spicy. We got samosas, chicken 65, and chicken tikka masala. All of it was delicious and large portions. Fast takeout service, too.

Amar Pushpak Kumar Kunamneni

Too worst service. No one is there at entrance for offering a table. And food is not that much worthy.

Ramakrishna Seetamraju

Amazing food!! Very authentic taste and fast service. Vijayawada dum biryani was just beyond expectation. The best Indian food experience in town.

A restaurant experience is a combination of food quality and service. While Tabla makes decent food, their service needs improvement. I suggest staff training on greeting customers, general cleaning procedures, and customer service.

Food is spicy so keep that in mind before going there. The service is not the best but it is nothing you can't handle (they are getting better, the owner is open to critics so I think that's pretty cool). The buffet price (to go) on Fridays is set by weight, any other days you pay around $11 no matter the weight. Worthy to visit.

Taralkumar Patel

Nice Indian cousine. And great buffet lunch place.

Monica Deepthi Palteru

Tabla has the authentic taste of Indian food. Fantastic experience. I have been coming here for years even before it changed names. Food has always been unbelievable. Highly recommended.

Raman Seth

Food is good -- I wish the servers and the front desk could serve with a smile. Have a flat affect. Even though you are paying money, the attitude and service is that you feel that I should be extremely grateful to receive food. If the servers and the billing person expect payment similar to other restaurants - atleast serve with a smile and courtesy - "Can I get you some water?" The customer service and experience will go a long way.

Tasty food, can give a try.

The Gobi 65 was very good. I had the medium spicy chicken biryani, it was hot to me. Make sure you follow it with the mango smoothie/yogurt drink.

For me the buffet at Tabla has definitely been among the Best Indian restaurant in Charlotte. They are having a small spread, but a delicious one. The tandoori, butter chicken and biryani in the buffet are amazing. It's definitely my to go restaurant and buffet in Charlotte. Only drawback of the buffet is that the variety more or less remains the same and refilling is limited after 2 pm.So would suggest to reach a bit early.

Poor service! Too expensive, food is served in small portion. very disappointing!!

We drove an hour to this restaurant because of the good reviews on the internet. We had a very bad experience here and will not be going back. Our server was very inattentive and paid much more attention to the incoming internet orders on his pad than he did to us and our table. He actually forgot to bring me my dinner after he delivered my husband’s dinner. I had to approach him while he was on his pad to remind him I still needed my dinner, and this was after I waited 15-20 minutes after my husband’s dinner came out. The food is expensive for the small portions we received and it appears most entrees are a la carte. The items that we ordered that were marked as mild were so spicy they were almost inedible. The decor and atmosphere in the restaurant seems disorganized with lots of items just shoved and stored against the walls. This place seems like a carry out restaurant that added tables as an after-thought.

Great Indian food and friendly staff... to me, this is California Anjappar .. honestly liked it

Pinky Chouhan

We have ordered food for multiple events and all our guests we happy with the taste. Best place in Charlotte to have Indian food.:) owner is super friendly. He goes beyond his way to help in planning out best food options for events.

Rahul Nachane

Tabla restaurant has excellent chefs and good customer service. We had a catering order and Manjesh personally delivered food home. The quality of the food and service is good. Their chicken Tandoori is my favorite. Thank you Tabla & Manjesh for your food and service!
