Tabla Indian Restaurant

Best Indian food in Charlotte. Portions are huge compared to other Indian restaurants while also being reasonably priced. Ask them to make it spicy and they actually will, unlike other places. Service was great and food came out quick, we will definitely be back.

This is our go to place from past 3 years since we moved to Charlotte. We were never even slightly disappointed with their taste. We took lot of our visiting guests for dine in and they as well really liked the taste. I would highly recommend below vegetarian items on menu. Veg Manchurian Paneer Tikka Masala Malai Kofta Bread basket Mango lassi Staff (Chandra, John / James and others) is also very nice and provides excellent service.

Okay so I gotta say this! Tabla Indian Restaurant is honestly one of the best spots I’ve eaten at around here. The food? Straight up authentic. You can taste the effort the chefs put in. Every bite hits from the regular Indian classics to even some of the Indo-Chinese dishes they’ve got on the menu. It’s not watered down or “Americanized” it’s the real deal. The vibe of the place is super clean and welcoming. It’s kid-friendly, wheelchair accessible, and just has that no-nonsense setup where you can actually enjoy your food without distractions. And the service? Chill and polite. You can tell the staff are genuinely trying their best, which matters a lot to me. But yo, the coolest thing is that right next door they have Sweet Magic, owned by the same folks. That place is basically heaven if you’re into Indian snacks or desserts. Talk about their chocolate mousse and Oreo mousse? Bro, those are next level. Cute, delicious, and something you can’t just find the same taste anywhere around here. Now, two things that really stuck with me: 1. The prices they’re super fair. Like you don’t walk out feeling ripped off. It’s affordable enough that honestly anyone could come here without stressing. 2. The washrooms sounds random, but listen… they’re probably the cleanest I’ve seen in a restaurant. Simple, no over-the-top decorations, just clean. And the glowing mirror with the lights built in? Low-key one of my favorite little details!!! . . !! Important!! And here’s something real: tipping. If you’re planning to tip (and you should, because the people here truly deserve it), don’t just drop it in the tip box or on the bill. Chances are it doesn’t always reach the actual servers. If someone takes good care of you, hand them the cash directly. As Americans or ABCDs (American Born Confused Desis) or even for us immigrants trying to build a life here; cards are an everyday thing. Back home, we all know tech can fail anytime, so carrying some change was natural. That little habit actually makes a difference here too. A couple of dollars in someone’s hand might help them cover gas, grab a meal, or chip away at convenience bills. It’s a small gesture, but it hits different to them honestly. So yeah, for me Tabla is more than just another restaurant. It’s tasty food, great service, clean vibes, and people who actually deserve the support. I’d recommend it to anyone whether you’re Indian and craving home flavors, or just someone who wants to experience real Indian food without breaking the bank. This spot is a winner in every way.

Delicious, fresh food and friendly, responsive service! Tabla has become a frequent stop for me. The staff is great. The food is delicious and well prepared. You can request spice to your liking and they deliver. My friend and I try to keep the order varied from visit to visit, but the current fave is mixed veg pakora and lamb chops. Also, I really enjoyed and appreciated the most recent additions of the cucumber lemon beverage (so nice as it was very hot out) and the papadum! All of the dishes we have tried have been great so far! I very much recommend Tabla!

Facility is very clean. Came in today for lunch with the hubby. We loved the chicken Tikka Marsala, lamb curry, and garlic Nan. Everything was exceptional. The only thing they didn’t have was roasted vegetables for a side but the flavors of our meals made up for it.
