Tabla Express Boston

Tabla Express Boston serves Indian and Indo-Chinese food at 122 Brighton Avenue in a casual food-court format. You can build a bowl with an entrée and a side or order a larger plate with several dishes. Butter chicken, palak paneer, chana masala and dal makhani give a sense of the curry choices, while the Indo-Chinese options include chilli chicken, vegetable Manchurian and Hakka noodles.

That mix makes it useful when you want to try more than one thing without ordering several full entrées. Rice and naan are available, with appetizers and desserts for a larger meal. Pickup and delivery are offered through the restaurant’s website. Use the Boston location’s menu when ordering: Tabla has several other branches, and the Express setup differs from its full-service restaurants.
