Tabla Restaurant

A lovely spot for comforting, home-style South Indian food. We tried the dosa, idiyappam, thatte idly, paneer butter masala and chili paneer. everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The flavors were well balanced—not too spicy—so you could really appreciate the quality of the ingredients. The dosa was crisp, the idiyappam was soft and light, and the thatte idly had that perfect traditional texture. Even the chili paneer had great flavor without being overpowering. Overall, it felt like a wholesome, satisfying meal that reminded us of homemade food. Would definitely come back for their breakfast combo and thali meals .

I recently visited Tabla Restaurant on Olive, and honestly, it was one of the most satisfying Indian dining experiences I’ve had around St. Peters, Creve Coeur, Ballwin, and Maryland Heights. I’ve tried almost every Indian place in these areas — some have great street food flavor, others fine-dine presentation — but very few truly capture authentic Indian taste across all regions. Usually, you’ll find a restaurant that makes great biryani or South Indian food, but their Punjabi gravies taste South Indian, or the other way around. **Tabla** breaks that pattern. We ordered **Thatte Idli, Appam Veg Stew, Masala Dosa, Paneer Tikka Masala, Dahi Puri, Pani Puri, Vada Pav, and Paneer Crispy** — covering South Indian, North Indian, street food, and Indo-Chinese — and *every single dish* tasted aut

I wish I lived closer to this establishment so I could frequentlymore regularly. Their breakfast options are sooo delicious and a great value. The appam with mutton stew was excellent with crispy yet chewy appam and fall off the bone mutton. On the weekends they offer set breakfast menus which are not only incredibly delicious, but a great value. I had difficulty choosing from the menu because there were so many good options. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Had lunch with friends at Tabla in Creve Coeur and wow—what a meal! The goat curry and goat fry were next-level tasty, packed with flavor. We also tried the veg thali, and it was really good too—great variety and authentic taste. Easily one of the best Indian lunches I’ve had in a while. Service was super friendly. Definitely coming back!

Tabla - is a very authentic South Indian restaurant. Their food is very tasty and genuinely authentic, I was a fan of their food when they were open in the Chesterfield mall. After the mall closed, they moved to this location on Olive. I would recommend any Non-Vegetarian Thali. Their pricing is reasonable and the food portions are good. I will definitely come back again. I would not recommend any of their specials. Their regular items are authentic.
