Reviews for Tabla Indian Restaurant - San Mateo in San Mateo, CA

Great food! Fast service! Reasonably priced. Great quantity! Kids were pleasantly surprised with the 70 mm paper dosa- a must... try. Samosas and the mint chutney were flavorful. The best restaurant we have eaten at in SF so far. Also the masala tea is onthe house. Read more

The food was great. Great place for dosa! The chutney was also really good. We had onion dosa and parotta with kurma. Both were... great. They have decent biryani as well. They had complementary tea. Go to place for good indian food in the area Read more

I’ve eaten at a lot of Indian restaurants while living in the Bay. This is seriously at least top 3. I’d go so far as to say... top #1 food wise. The samosa chaat is good with crispy bits in it. The naan is buttery and flaky and soft. The kids dosa withcheese was even delicious with the coconut sauce. The veg korma is always my favorite at any restaurant and this one has paneerin it! The sauce is just a tad sweet and a teeny bit spicy. The chicken tiki masala was delicious too- the chicken isn’t drylike so many other spots end up doing. It almost had a bit of a smoky taste. They also offer free masala chai. We willdefinitely be back here, and I live nowhere near San Mateo lol Read more

Average but flavorful food. I would want to give them a 4.5 star for service as it was quick and the staff which was extremely... courteous. If you are in the area and craving for decent Indian food, this place won’t disappoint you. Read more

We had gone for dinner on the way back from SF. First of all I’ll start from the best. This is perhaps the only Indian... restaurant I know that has chai (Indian tea with milk) on the house and the chai was fantastic. We had ordered chole bhatura(deep fried Indian bread with garbanzo beans) and it was outstanding. We also had ordered Pav Bhaji (bread with a spicy Indiancurry) and it was decent. Overall I would rate it 5/5 because the staff were super friendly, food was tasty and service wasreasonably fast (15 mins). Read more
