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:
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.
