Tabla is a modern Indian restaurant franchise founded in 2008 in Orlando, Florida, by Anshu and Nora Jain. Headquartered at 5829 Grand National Drive, Orlando, Tabla began franchising in 2024, giving entrepreneurs the opportunity to bring its celebrated Indian, Thai, and Chinese fusion cuisine to new markets.
Tabla offers two distinct franchise models: a full-service fine dining concept and a fast-casual model with a limited menu. Both formats focus on fresh, flavorful dishes made from authentic ingredients.
The menu features traditional Indian curries, Indo-Chinese specialties, fusion creations like Butter Chicken Melt Burgers, and a variety of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options.
What sets Tabla apart is its commitment to quality, consistency, and customer experience. Tabla’s focus on excellence has earned it a reputation as a top-tier restaurant brand in Central Florida.

Tabla Indian Cuisine provides a structured training program for its franchisees to ensure operational consistency and quality. Here are the main training components:
Initial Training Program: The Managing Owner and one manager must complete Tabla’s initial training within 45 days of the restaurant’s scheduled or actual opening date. This training, held in Orlando, Florida, spans approximately two weeks and includes classroom and on-the-job instruction. If additional individuals attend, a fee of $500 per person per day applies.
Refresher and System-Wide Training: Franchisees and their managers must attend periodic refresher courses and system-wide training sessions as designated by Tabla. These sessions are mandatory and cover updated operational procedures. Franchisees bear the full cost of participation, including travel and accommodations.
Supplemental Training: Tabla may provide on-site or remote supplemental training when requested by the franchisee or required by the franchisor due to operational shortcomings. This comes at a cost of $500 per trainer per day, plus related travel expenses.
Territory Protection
Tabla Indian Cuisine provides limited territorial protection through a “Designated Territory,” typically defined as either a five-mile radius or an area encompassing a specified population around the franchise location. While this Designated Territory grants some local exclusivity, it is not absolute.
The franchisor agrees not to open or authorize another Tabla Indian Cuisine restaurant within the franchisee's territory during the agreement term, provided the franchisee remains compliant.
However, Tabla reserves significant “Reserved Rights” that limit the scope of protection. They can still sell through alternative channels like retail, grocery, or online platforms, and can establish restaurants in captive locations such as malls or airports—even within a franchisee’s territory.
