Tabla: A Restaurant in Full Bloom With the Best Onion Rings Around

By Ed Levine Eats   Dec 12, 2007

A few weeks ago I had lunch with Steingarten at Tabla. We had an absolutely terrific meal there, and we both arrived at the same conclusion: Tabla chef-partner Floyd Cardoz is cooking with so much confidence now he is clearly... FULL REVIEW

By NYC Nosh   Sep 20, 2007

Tabla Bread Bar

By Big Apple Dining Guide   Nov 28, 2006

I get the same thing each time I eat here. The lamb naanini sandwich. It is an excellent dish though I confess it lacked the luster of the first and second visits. Still delicious. Add a Lagunitas Brewing (Petaluma, CA) "Censored" beer and you are good to go. FULL REVIEW

late for tabla

By eat 2 love   Nov 24, 2006

tabla is a great restaurant for a date. it’s stylish, has good food, a relaxed vibe, full course dinner upstairs while the casual tabla bread bar downstairs is a good bet for when you want cocktails and quick bites . it’s a very popular indian restaurant and always bustling for good reason. the chef floyd cardoz is known for his creative blend of indian dishes with fresh local greenmarket ingredients . i’ve always loved the mosaic of giant vegetables lining the circular opening between the bread bar downstairs and the dining room balcony upstairs. since its opening in 1999 when it received 3 stars from the new york times , the quality of the food has stayed consistently good which is no small feat . so when my date, a financial consultant, asked me to meet him there i agreed .

My Mini Meyer-athon

By VittlesVamp   Sep 23, 2006

What better way for The Vamp to ring in year 5767 than to partake in vittles? And why stop at just one stop for said New Year's vittles, when New York City has so many culinary treasures to offer? Well, I figured for my figure's sake I ought to narrow the field down a bit. So last night, in celebration of Rosh Hashanah, I joined a good friend for a wee tour of Danny Meyer's wee Madison Park empire. FULL REVIEW

NYC Dining: Tabla Bread Bar

By Off The Broiler   Jul 22, 2006

Tabla is another one of those Danny Meyer restaurants that I had been meaning to go to for several years, but just never had the time to do so. With the opportunity to interview various pitmasters the night before the Big Apple BBQ block party, I thought that a meal right across the street at the Bread Bar was an ideal place to begin an evening of major BBQ rig envy.

Tabla

By New York Journal   Mar 16, 2006

I’ve never ordered a tasting menu that didn’t have at least one dud—even at Per Se. That changed on Saturday evening, when my friend and I ordered the five-course tasting at Tabla. This was a culinary exercise in near-perfection, from beginning to end. FULL REVIEW

Tabla Bread Bar

By Big Apple Dining Guide   Feb 16, 2006

I went and had a quick, late dinner last week at the Bread Bar. I've eaten at Tabla upstairs twice before, have had drinks on the street (the flights of Jack Daniels during the BBQ Block Party is too much fun/trouble) but this was my first time eating in the bread bar. FULL REVIEW

Tabla for 3

Swimster flew in from California, returning from his long winter break, and we were set to celebrate with a fun dinner and drinks. We also had another reason to celebrate. Swimster's friend from Switzerland just moved to the Big Apple on assignment with CSFB. And we decided to include MoritzJunge in our plans FULL REVIEW

Janus and Ganesh New York City Entry #43

By Veal Cheeks   Dec 18, 2005

Some restaurants gain the attention of diners, while others, seemingly well situated are passed over. We hear a lot about Craft, little about March. Much about Bouley, not much about Chanterelle. Perhaps sheer talent has something to do with the matter (and it certainly should), but all four restaurants present food at a high quality of proficiency, and each would be candidates for the best restaurant in Cleveland - or perhaps Boston. What distinguishes the great from the sturdily competent. FULL REVIEW

Return to the Bread Bar -- Now With Pics!

By A Finger in Every Pie   May 15, 2005

Last night we went, not to Manderley, but to the Bread Bar at Tabla again. And it was no dream, but once again a delicious reality. G and I haven't been there together, just us, for quite a while. Last time for me, as you recall, it was with a gaggle of girlfriends who had ordering issues. The time before that, we went with friends for a celebratory dinner. Previous to that, we went with G's parents, when they were in town a while ago. But it's been quite some time since it was just us. FULL REVIEW

The Bread Bar at Tabla

By A Finger in Every Pie   Mar 11, 2005

At first I was at a complete loss as to how to write this post.  You see, our only digital camera is G's video camera.  So I lugged that giant with me in my purse, if you can imagine, out to dinner with four girlfriends last night.  And each time I aimed it at the plush and lovely restaurant setting, the delectable food, the fun drinks, the adorable wait-staff, the delightful friends -- it didn't work.  It stayed dark.  Way too dark.  I called G for a quick consult, and realized that it was basically just too dark in the restaurant to get a real picture.  G said there was probably a setting that we never use that would alleviate the problem, but at that point I was beyond experimentation and into my first passionfruit cosmo (which carries the embarrassing title of Lots of Passion.  Such a name causes a moment of unseemly coyness when ordering from the aforementioned attractive wait-staff).   In any case, I comforted myself with the fact that many a restaurant review is posted without photos -- and this is actually more of a restaurant anecdote than a review.  FULL REVIEW

Bread Bar at Tabla

By Walker New York Eats   Jul 11, 2003

Last night we went to a gallery opening (the photography exhibit was called Enchanted Evening, and a lot of famous photographs and well-known photographers' works were on display) on 22nd and 10th and then took the bus over to Bread Bar at Tabla. We had been to Tabla in January and I was kind of disappointed, although the dessert I had was fantastic (a Meyer lemon souffle with sour cherry compote). At Bread Bar, which has a lot of small dishes that you share tapas-style, Todd panicked that he wasn't going to get enough to eat so we ended up ordering way too much food, all of which was pretty good. The chutneys really made the meal, though. FULL REVIEW
