Tabla is the Indian-inspired concept from restaurant tour-de-force Danny Meyer ( Gramercy Tavern, Union Square Café). Chef/partner Floyd Cardoz cleverly peppers his menu with the intoxicating flavors of India—sweet and savory spices, chutneys, meats from a tandoor oven and soft rounds of pillowy, handmade breads. And the result is a delicious introduction to the sumptuous flavors of India. The stunning, bi- level dining room mixes muted jewel-toned accents, rich redwood floors and soaring windows that face Madison Square Park.
