It's SO GOOD! I've also had their lunch buffet. It's been a while, but I remember enjoying it and the food being fresh. The employees are polite and super nice. My last order, I felt so bad because I was running late after ordering online and I didn't realize I was cutting into their midday closing hours. The gentleman was waiting right there with my order.

I made chaat out of pani puri as they had all the chutneys and veg raita as well--it was delicious. The hakka noodles were yummy too! I'm a vegetarian, and in the main course vegetarian options, I really enjoyed the daal tadka and paneer bhurji along with rice and naan. I also love their dum aloo (during A La Carte) --it's always great. The flavors are very authentic and everything tastes fresh and well prepared. There are plenty of vegetarian options, which I really appreciate. The overall spread is quite satisfying and nicely balanced. The place has a good vibe, and the service is friendly and attentive. Overall, the food is always great and never disappoints!

i've actually been ordering and going to this restaurant for a few years now I'm not sure why I…read moredidn't get to the review until now. It's one of the few places in the area that I can get Bombay Aloo. It's absolutely delicious and it's pretty much the only thing I get.

Highly recommend trying it if you haven't already.

I love to try places that they consider themselves authentic. Since it was for lunch, we had the option to eat the buffet or à la carte. We chose a la carte. We got some naan and I got a plate with multiple type of meats (totally forgot the name). The naan was average - definitely not as tasty as the authentic one. Now the meat it was super delicious and the service was outstanding. I would come back for that plate.

I saw some unique items and decided to give them a try. I tried both the Chaat Platter and the…read moreGulab Jamun Creme Brulee and really enjoyed them. The platter includes three dishes the Samosa Chaat, Dahi Bhalia Chaat, and the Pani Poori. Personally, I wish the Pani Poori came with chutneys instead of the mint water and tamarind water. Because both of the Chaats had chutneys and they were really good. The chutney flavored water didn't have much flavor to it. If you're looking to try something new I would definitely recommend the Chaat Platter. The Gulab Jamun Creme Brulee was delicious. It didn't have much of a Gulab Jamun taste but the custard was good. The serving bowl is pretty shallow so you don't get much but for $7 I'm not upset. There's a couple other desserts that I would like to try next time though. Because of the pricing, if I were to try appetizers and desserts I probably wouldn't get a meal as well. My server was Harika and she was a pleasure! Her and the other staff went over my questions and helped show me pictures so I could know what I was ordering. I certainly appreciated it. Will definitely be back.

I ordered the butter chicken with garlic naan, and wow... the butter chicken was hands down the best I've ever had. I chose the medium spice level, and it was absolutely perfect--just the right amount of heat without overpowering the incredible flavors. It was rich, creamy, and so flavorful. The garlic naan was fresh, soft, and the perfect complement to the meal. Beyond the food, the entire experience was wonderful. The restaurant is beautiful, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and every staff member I interacted with was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I left already looking forward to my next visit because there are so many other dishes on the menu that I can't wait to try. If you're looking for amazing Indian food in the Oviedo area, Tabla is definitely worth a visit. I'll absolutely be back!

Recently I ordered chicken corn soup from this restaurant through Uber. And one of the servers from the restaurant, Ramiza, contacted me and told me that they don't serve chicken corn soup and asked me what I would like to replace that dish with. I appreciated the honesty and customer service because there have been several times where I've ended up with missing items from different restaurants when ordering through Uber. I appreciate that Shahi got on top of that quickly. I'm sure that if they added chicken corn soup to their menu, it would be as good as their other items.

Places like Tikka Shack are one of the places that can provide that education. Introducing Indian flavors in familiar dishes is a good way to transform picky eaters into true gormands. I wanted a quick, delicious dinner one evening before heading out on a road trip the next day. So I swung by to see what this recent move-in had to offer sleepy little Oviedo. Ambiance was very, well, Oviedo. A giant mural adorned the wall. Chickens, the Welcome sign, even a sandhill crane. It was very pretty. Service was superb. There was a nice cashier lady who gave off a owner or manager aura. We talked through the menu together and came up with a couple of delicious options for me to order. Option one was the Tikka Chicken Pizza (Tikka Sauce, garlic, fresh mozzarella, red onions, tomatoes on a Naan crust topped with cilantro). This thing was a lot of fun! A nice, thin, crispy crust, and mozz. But accompanied by a delicious tikka sauce. A little freshness from the onions and the tomatoes, and you have a very nice pie here. Something like that pizza is something a kid would try, or a subdued palate adult would try, and act as a gateway dish that would get them deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole that is the best cuisine on the planet. I love it. I also had a curry, which was nice. Very flavorful. I was expecting a little bland, but no, lots of good spice and flavor. Accompanied with a proper amount of basmati rice. Yummy. And I accented the whole meal with a cheesey, garlicky naan. Which is probably universally accepted as the best bread on the planet. Love that naan. Wash it all down with a mango lassi, and this place knocked my socks off. I don't know what brought them here to Oviedo, but I sure am glad they came. It's nice knowing that I have a fast-casual Indian place right down the road. Will definitely be back.

Fifth Element Indian Kitchen 1448 W International Speedway…read moreBlvd, Daytona Beach, FL 32114 I really wanted to like Fifth Element Indian Kitchen, but this visit was a complete letdown. We ordered the Thali expecting a well-rounded, flavorful Indian meal--but what arrived at the table was far from it. The food was served cold, which immediately set the tone. Naan, which should be soft, warm, and slightly crisp on the edges, was instead leathery and overly chewy, almost as if it had been sitting out far too long. The Thali was supposed to include chicken biryani and chicken curry, but both dishes missed the mark entirely. The chicken served was dark thigh meat, which in itself isn't an issue when cooked right--but here, it lacked any depth or proper preparation. More disappointing was the complete absence of flavor. Indian cuisine is known for its rich layers of spices and aromas, but everything on the plate felt bland and lifeless, as if the spices were an afterthought rather than the heart of the dish. Adding to the disappointment, the interior decor felt very dated and gloomy, lacking the warmth or vibrancy you'd hope for in a dining space. The bathrooms were also filthy, which only made the overall experience worse. Having dined at several Indian restaurants, we know what a good Thali should taste like--balanced, vibrant, and satisfying. This was none of that. It felt rushed, poorly executed, and lacking the care that defines authentic Indian cooking. Unfortunately, this experience was disappointing enough that we won't be returning.
