A Halloween night out in Orlando usually runs on a schedule. Halloween Horror Nights gates open after dark at Universal Orlando and Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party fills select evenings at Magic Kingdom. Dinner has to fit somewhere in between. 

Two Tabla venues on Grand National Drive, a short hop off International Drive, are built for that gap. Tabla Indian Restaurant Orlando serves a six-item Halloween menu October 26 through November 1, 2026, with dishes priced $5.99 to $24. Next door, Tabla Indian Cafe & Sweets Orlando pours seasonal coffees and serves monster-themed treats all of October, open 6:00 AM to midnight daily, with prices between $5 and $12.99. 

Below you'll find every Halloween dish and drink on both menus, a few ways to build a night around them, and the hours that matter if you're timing dinner around a park ticket. Menu items, prices and dates come from Tabla's 2026 Halloween flyers. Addresses and hours come from each location's page on tablacuisine.com.

A Halloween Dinner Menu at Tabla Indian Restaurant Orlando 

The restaurant's Halloween restaurant specials run seven nights, Monday, October 26 through Sunday, November 1. Halloween itself lands on a Saturday this year, when the dining room stays open all day until 11:00 PM. The menu leans on seasonal ingredients: pumpkin in the rice and the chai, spinach in two dishes, and lentils in the dessert. 

Halloween Appetizer: Palak Ke Phool, $15 

Palak Ke Phool translates from Hindi as "spinach flowers," and that's what lands on the plate: crispy spinach flowers seasoned with flavorful spices and finished with an Indian twist. At $15, it's the menu's only starter and a good dish to split while the table decides on mains. 

Shyam Savera Kofta Curry, $21 

This $21 entrée pairs stuffed cheese spinach balls with a creamy korma sauce. "Shyam Savera" loosely means dusk and dawn in Hindi, a nod to the dark spinach shell around a pale cheese center. 

Lahori Fish Masala, $24 

The menu's top-priced plate is crispy spiced fish, marinated in Lahori masala and fried to golden perfection. Lahori refers to Lahore, the Punjab city whose name has long been attached to spiced fried fish. 

Pumpkin Pulao Rice, $20 

The most seasonal plate on the list is fragrant basmati rice infused with pumpkin flavors and aromatic Indian spices, at $20. Choose your protein from vegetable, paneer, chicken, goat or lamb, subject to availability. 

Halloween Dessert: Moong Dal Halwa, $8 

Moong Dal Halwa is a rich, creamy lentil dessert flavored with cardamom and ghee, priced at $8. In North India it's a cold-season sweet, so it suits a late-October dinner. 

Halloween Drink: Pumpkin Spice Chai, $5.99 

This chai blends traditional Indian chai with warm pumpkin spice flavors, for $5.99. Order it with the halwa at the end of the meal. 

Spooky Sips and Monster Treats at Tabla Indian Cafe & Sweets Orlando 

The café is where the Halloween theme shows up most clearly, in names like Black Magic and Fright Bite. Its seasonal menu started October 1 and runs through November 1. With doors open 6:00 AM to midnight, it covers a coffee before a convention session and a treat after the parks close. 

Halloween Sips

Drink Price What's in it 
Bloody Rose Ice Latte $7 Double espresso, rose syrup, vanilla, milk, ice, whipped cream 
Black Magic Cold Coffee $7 Cold coffee, chocolate, vanilla, ice, whipped cream 
Pumpkin Spice Chai $5 Masala or cardamom chai, pumpkin spice, milk 

Halloween Treats 

The café's two Halloween treats are both $8. The Monster Waffle comes topped with ice cream, chocolate drizzle and Halloween sprinkles. Monster Chicken Tenders arrive as five crispy pieces with fries and a spooky dipping sauce, which also makes them the café's most shareable snack. 

Spooky Combos 

Two combos bundle a treat with a drink for $12.99 each. The Fright Bite Combo includes Monster Chicken Tenders, fries and a Halloween drink. The Sweet & Spooky Combo pairs the Monster Waffle with one as well. 

Halloween Food Ideas for a Night Out Near the Parks 

Orlando Halloween nights tend to follow a few patterns, depending on where the evening ends up. Each plan below uses only Tabla's Halloween items, priced from the menus before tax and tip. 

Your night Where and when What to order Menu total 
Early dinner before Halloween Horror Nights Restaurant, from 5:00 PM on weekdays Palak Ke Phool, Pumpkin Pulao Rice, Pumpkin Spice Chai $40.99 
Halloween dinner for two Restaurant, any day October 26 to November 1 Palak Ke Phool, Shyam Savera Kofta Curry, Lahori Fish Masala, two Moong Dal Halwa, two Pumpkin Spice Chai $87.98 
Late bite after the parks Café, open until midnight Fright Bite Combo, Sweet & Spooky Combo $25.98 
Morning coffee before a convention day Café, from 6:00 AM Bloody Rose Ice Latte or Black Magic Cold Coffee $7 

Halloween Dinner Food Before a Park Night 

Halloween Horror Nights runs select nights through November 1, and Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party runs select nights through October 31. On weekdays the restaurant's dinner service starts at 5:00 PM, so an early table leaves time to eat before an evening ticket. On Saturday, October 31, and Sunday, November 1, the kitchen serves straight through from 11:30 AM. 

A Halloween Appetizer to Share 

For a group, start with Palak Ke Phool at the restaurant. At the café, a plate of Monster Chicken Tenders feeds a couple of people before anyone commits to a main. 

Halloween Drink Picks Without Alcohol 

None of the seasonal drinks on either menu lists alcohol among its ingredients. Pumpkin Spice Chai appears on both menus, at $5.99 in the restaurant and $5 at the café. The café's two iced coffees are the stronger caffeine picks for a late night. 

Getting to Tabla From Orlando's Halloween Hotspots 

Both Tabla venues sit on Grand National Drive, in the area around International Drive and Sand Lake Road. Here is how they sit relative to the places most Halloween visitors spend their day. 

Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights 

Tabla's Orlando location page describes the restaurant as near Universal Orlando. Guests staying around Universal can plan dinner at the restaurant and return to the café afterward, since it stays open until midnight. 

International Drive and the Orange County Convention Center 

Both venues sit just off International Drive, the stretch that runs past the Orange County Convention Center. For anyone in town for a conference during Halloween week, the café's 6:00 AM opening covers breakfast coffee and the restaurant covers dinner. 

Orlando International Premium Outlets 

Orlando International Premium Outlets sits on International Drive, and Tabla's location page names the outlet malls among its neighbors. A day of shopping can end with an early Halloween dinner, since weekend service runs all day. 

Disney Springs and Walt Disney World Resort 

Disney Springs and Walt Disney World Resort sit to the southwest, in the Lake Buena Vista area, which Tabla lists among the neighborhoods it serves. Disney Springs runs its own Halloween treats into November. For guests staying on the Disney side who want a sit-down Indian Halloween dinner off property, the restaurant's 11:00 PM close gives a wide window. 

Searching for a Halloween Themed Restaurant Near You? 

Searches for a "Halloween themed restaurant near me" around International Drive usually point to bars with full decor takeovers. Tabla's version of Halloween lives on the plate and in the cup: seasonal pumpkin dishes at the restaurant and monster-named treats at the café. For anything beyond the menu, such as group bookings that week, call the restaurant at (407) 248-9400.
