Community Rating
Reviews via GoogleWhat diners say — our read
This listing's ratings cluster at the two ends of the scale. Service tends to be raised approvingly here, averaging 4.2 stars. After that, pacing appears most often — 22% of the corpus, averaging 3.5.
21 of 27 rated reviews are four stars or higher; 6 are two or lower. One subject never comes up here: freshness. If you had to pick one number to represent this corpus it would be 5, the most frequently given rating (19 reviews).
The inspection lands in between as well: DBPR graded this kitchen a C (77/100), citing 1 high-priority, 1 intermediate, and 12 basic violations. DBPR last walked in on May 14, 2026. Across its inspection history the kitchen is declining, which argues for reading the older reviews with caution. Ranked against Orange County, it is safer than 15% of the restaurants we score. The citations behind that grade include food from approved source and cross-contamination.
Neither signal is decisive on its own here, which is why both are shown. Everything above is computed from the 27 reviews reproduced below.

Food is pricey and not worth for the prices. Ordered chicken biryani got rice mixed with chicken gravy, the same thing was questioned to them they don’t do Dum biryani but this should tell while ordering biryani. Too much oil in the food.
-
Food was delicious! Sevice was professional and friendly. Manali was our server and she took great care of us; the recommendation for the butter chicken was appreciated.
-
The food was really good and the experience was awesome. The experience was better as Shaan was serving us. He has a great attitude.
-
I had a very disappointing experience with the service. The server that serving us was not good he was an Indian guy wearing different clothes from other servers. We asked the staff for our server's name, and they told us it was "Falentine" (I'm not sure if that's the correct name). From the start, he was very rude, seemed to be in a constant rush, and made us feel like we were inconveniencing him whenever we asked for something. The worst part was at the end of our meal. We asked for the bill, but he took a very long time to come back, even though he seemed to be avoiding our table. When he finally did, he had a lot of attitude and didn't seem interested in providing good customer service. Good service can make a big difference, but unfortunately, this experience left a negative impression. I hope the restaurant addresses this so future customers are treated with more respect.

Delicious meal. There were 7 of us, including 2 vegans. Shaan was our server. He was so friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.
-
Phenomenal service and food. My baby dropped a glass bottle full of milk and they cleaned it up for us while reassuring us that it was ok. Service was very courteous, timely and attentive.
-
Excellent food! Would come back!

Valentine was really good. He accommodated our request and food preferences really very well.
-
During our visit at Tabla, Valentine was our server very helpful and amazing guy. Must try for sure.
-
I’m extremely hungry, but when I took my first bite of food, I chose to remain hungry rather than having it.
-
The best staff at our party at the Tabla Ballroom. Shaan and Prateet were so so hospitable the entire night. Staff makes sure we all ate properly and drank plenty. Food was excellent too. Highly recommend them for food, service, and party needs. So impressed
-
Great food and amazing service. Our server Vanisree took very good care of us and walked us through the menu beautifully, if you ever visit please ask for her she was great. The chicken 65 appetizer was incredible, full of flavor and the perfect amount of spice. The Indio fried rice was a very unique blend of flavors that worked very well together. 10/10 experience would definitely recommend.
-
Here the service is worst. And to prepare food it take more then 30 mins for single dish to serve. Here the people who give service are also not treating customers good.
-
Worst service I ever had in my life. They treating there guest on there skin. I'm an Indian and I'm getting worst service.

-
The food was amazing and our waiter valentine was an amazing server.
-
Valentine was such a sweet server and the food was delicious!
-
Horrible place! We found hair in our food, employees of the kitchen do not wash their hands after using the restroom and 2 members of our party received food poisoning. We spoke to the manager who sounded concerned at first, but never followed up with us. Every time we call the staff says he is "unavailable" -- avoid this place.
-
A nice little Indian restaurant attached to a hotel. The food was delicious and had varied selection. Indo-chinese section was very good and that’s what we ended up having. Would recommend this place to everyone.
-
The service was prompt and quick, the place was clean. The place got busy but the waiters kept checking in on us which was nice. The food was decent, nothing to write home about. We are ordered palak chaat, Hakka noodles and sczehuan.
-
Shaan did an amazing job taking care of my family. If you come definitely go to Shaan
-
