Concierge.com's insider take:
Though Tabla's fine-dining flagship does brisk expense account business combining Indian flavors with haute French technique, it's the more casual ground floor Bread Bar that's the real sleeper hit. This restaurant-within-a-restaurant features traditional Indian street food, updated—and elevated—by Bombay-born chef Floyd Cardoz. Join the after-work crowds at the warmly lit earth-toned bar or, in warm weather, at the sidewalk tables overlooking Madison Square Park for innovative cocktails (the Kachumber Kooler features green chiles, cilantro, and cucumber) paired with delicious snacks like cumin-scented Goan guacamole, green-mango-studded Bombay bhel puri, and flaky tandoor-baked breads filled with bacon and Cheddar. The combo platter that is available only at lunch—with vegetables, rice, bread, and proteins like banana-leaf-roasted fish—offers a bargain intro to Cardoz's refined modern take on Indian cooking. The Wazwan tasting menu, a $49 family-style feast featuring a huge selection of shareable dishes, is the best deal at dinner.
Open Mondays through Thursdays noon to 11 pm, Fridays and Saturdays noon to 11:30 pm, and Sundays 5 to 10 pm.
