The mithai run happens twice in most households and nobody plans either one. There is the box bought in a hurry on Dhanteras, and the second, larger, more expensive scramble on the morning of Diwali when somebody counts the guests properly.
Tabla has put flat 15% off its festive sweets from 6 to 11 November 2026, which is not a one day discount pinned to Diwali. It covers the whole stretch from Dhanteras to Bhai Dooj, and this guide covers why that window matters more than the number attached to it.
Quick Summary
Tabla is running flat 15% off handcrafted Diwali sweets from 6 to 11 November 2026 at Orlando, Oviedo, Clermont and St. Petersburg. Diwali falls on Sunday 8 November, so the offer opens on Dhanteras and runs past Diwali itself. Tabla Orlando is open 11:30 AM to 11:00 PM that Sunday.
The offer is the Festival, Not the Day
Look at the dates next to each other and the thinking becomes obvious.
| Date | Day | Where it sits in Diwali |
| 6 November | Friday | Dhanteras |
| 7 November | Saturday | Choti Diwali, Naraka Chaturdashi |
| 8 November | Sunday | Diwali, Lakshmi Puja |
| 9 November | Monday | Govardhan Puja, Annakut |
| 10 November | Tuesday | Bhai Dooj |
| 11 November | Wednesday | One day past the festival |
Six days, bracketing Diwali on both sides. The discount at Tabla opens on Dhanteras, the day most families make their first purchase of the season, and runs a full day past Bhai Dooj.
Those are the dates as observed in the United States. On the Indian calendar Govardhan Puja and Bhai Dooj fall a day later, on the 10th and 11th, which this window also covers.
That is the part worth planning around. A one day offer forces everyone through a single Sunday. A six day one does not.
What Flat 15% Actually Changes
Fifteen percent on a single box of sweets is a rounding error. Fifteen percent on a Diwali order is not, and that is the distinction most people miss.
The discount scales with the size of the order, which is exactly the wrong way round from how most people shop for mithai. They buy small and often. The saving sits with buying properly, once.
| If your sweets order comes to | You pay | You keep |
| $40 | $34.00 | $6.00 |
| $60 | $51.00 | $9.00 |
| $100 | $85.00 | $15.00 |
| $150 | $127.00 | $22.50 |
Anyone buying for a house, a puja and three sets of relatives is closer to the bottom of that table than the top. Consolidate the order rather than making four trips to Tabla across the week, because the only variable you control is how much of your Diwali buying sits inside one order
Mithai Gets Bought Five Times, Not Once
Here is the behaviour the six day window is built around, and anyone who has run a Diwali household will recognise it
- Dhanteras, when the first box arrives and the season officially starts
- The day before, when the puja thali gets assembled
- Diwali itself, when guests arrive and the house empties its supply
- The day after, when somebody realises the neighbours were missed
- Bhai Dooj on the Tuesday, which has its own sweets and its own obligations
That is five separate reasons to buy across six days, and Tabla has discounted all of them rather than one. The practical move is to decide the whole week's sweets on the Friday, which is when the discount opens and the only day of the six you are buying with a clear head.
Handcrafted Means Ordering Ahead
The Tabla festive sweets are described as handcrafted, which is a claim about production rather than marketing, and at Diwali it has a consequence.
Handmade sweets come in batches rather than off a warehouse shelf, and on the busiest days of the Indian calendar the batch is the constraint, not the counter. So the order of operations matters:
- Call before you drive, particularly for the 7th and the 8th
- Ask how much notice a large tray or multiple boxes needs
- Place gifting orders early in the window, from the 6th
- Collect in one trip rather than splitting it across days
A Sunday afternoon on 8 November is the single worst time to arrive at any Indian kitchen hoping to improvise. It is also, predictably, when most people will.
Gifting and Feeding are two Different Orders
Most people place one Diwali order at Tabla and try to make it do both jobs, and it rarely works.
- The gifting order goes out of the house. It wants presentation, it wants to survive a car journey, and it usually needs to be several identical boxes rather than one large assortment.
- The house order stays put. It needs volume, it will be eaten over several days by people wandering past the table, and nobody cares what it looks like after the first hour.
Work out the two numbers separately before you ring Tabla, because the gifting count is always the underestimated one. Both sit inside the same 15% between 6 and 11 November, so there is no advantage to splitting them across days.
What to Confirm When you Order
Every offer has details that live with the kitchen rather than the poster, and the Tabla sweets range has a few worth settling in a single call.
- Which sweets are included in the festive range this year
- What box or tray sizes are available, and the price of each
- Whether the 15% applies to large or catering sized orders
- How far ahead to place an order for the 7th and 8th
- Whether it is pickup only or available with delivery
Five questions, one call, and it avoids the version of this week where you arrive on Diwali morning to find the thing you wanted went at nine.
Diwali Lands on a Sunday this Year
The day of the week changes the whole collection plan, and 2026 has handed everyone an easier one than usual.
Diwali falls on Sunday 8 November. Nobody is leaving work early or doing the puja after a commute, and the sweets run does not have to happen at nine in the morning or not at all.
| 8 November, Sunday | Hours | |
| Tabla Orlando | 11:30 AM to 11:00 PM | |
| Tabla Oviedo | 11:30 AM to 9:00 PM | |
| Tabla Lake Nona | 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM, then 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM | |
| Tabla Winter Park | 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, then 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM | |
| Tabla Clermont | 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, then 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM | |
| Tabla Grapevine | 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM | |
| Tabla Indian Cafe St. Petersburg | 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM |
Tabla Orlando runs straight through on the Sunday with no afternoon closure, which gives eleven and a half hours to collect an order on Diwali itself.
The two to watch are at either end. Tabla Clermont shuts between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM on Diwali day, and Tabla Indian Cafe St. Petersburg closes earliest at 8:00 PM. Neither is a problem if the order is already placed.
The catch is that everybody else also has a free Sunday. A slot arranged on the Friday is worth more than an open kitchen on the day.
Where to Order From
The Diwali sweets promotion runs at four Tabla locations across Florida.
5847 Grand National Drive, Orlando, FL 32819. Phone (407) 248-9400.
Open 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM to 11:00 PM Monday to Friday, and 11:30 AM to 11:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday.
945 City Plaza Way Ste 1001, Oviedo, FL 32765. Phone (321) 966-8069.
Open 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM Monday to Thursday, 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM on Friday, 11:30 AM to 10:00 PM on Saturday and 11:30 AM to 9:00 PM on Sunday.
Dhanteras falls on the Friday, when Tabla Oviedo closes between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM. Plan the first order of the season around that gap rather than into it.
2447 S. Hwy 27, Clermont, FL 34711. Phone (352) 638-4004.
Open 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM, the same hours every day of the week including Diwali Sunday. Tabla Clermont is the only one of the four with an identical schedule seven days a week, which makes it the easiest to plan around. The two hour afternoon gap is the thing to note, so order before three or after five.
10324 Roosevelt Blvd N, St. Petersburg, FL 33716. Phone +1 (727) 742-8825.
Open 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM Monday to Thursday, 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM on Friday and Saturday, and 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM on Sunday.
It runs straight through with no afternoon break, so a two o'clock collection is never a problem here. The trade is the Sunday close at 8:00 PM, the earliest of the four on Diwali itself.
9971 Tagore Place Suite 9, Orlando, FL 32827. Phone (407) 743-2846.
Open 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM Monday to Thursday, 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM on Friday, 11:30 AM to 10:00 PM on Saturday and 11:30 AM to 9:00 PM on Sunday.
Dhanteras falls on the Friday, when Tabla Lake Nona does not reopen until 5:00 PM. The first order of the season is a lunchtime job here rather than an after work one.
216 N Park Ave # H, Winter Park, FL 32789. Phone (321) 422-0321.
Open 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM Monday to Thursday, 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM on Friday, 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM on Saturday and 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM on Sunday.
Tabla Winter Park opens at 11:00 AM rather than 11:30 AM, half an hour earlier than the Orlando, Oviedo and Lake Nona rooms. On Diwali Sunday that half hour is the quietest part of the day.
1000 Texan Trail #130, Grapevine, TX 76051. Phone (682) 888-8828.
Open 11:00 AM to 9:30 PM Tuesday to Thursday, 11:00 AM to 10:30 PM on Friday and Saturday, and 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM on Sunday. Closed on Mondays.
That closure lands on 9 November, which is Govardhan Puja. Tabla Grapevine is the one location of the seven where the festival week has a gap in it, so anything needed for the Monday has to be collected on the Sunday.
Ordering Through Diwali Week
A six day discount at Tabla is only useful if the order actually gets placed, and Diwali week is not a week anyone has spare attention.
- Order on the 6th for anything going out as a gift
- Call ahead for the 7th and 8th, which are the two busiest days
- Confirm collection times rather than assuming the counter will be quick
- Keep one order rather than four, since the discount is flat either way
Sunday the 8th is the day to collect something already arranged, not the day to decide what you want.
Before the Last Box Goes
A tray of mithai arranged at home on the Friday of Dhanteras, with the gifting boxes already counted and nothing left to decide by Sunday evening, is a rarer Diwali than anyone admits. Tabla has flat 15% off handcrafted festive sweets from 6 to 11 November, which is every day of the festival rather than one of them.
Call your nearest Tabla, in Orlando, Oviedo, Clermont or St. Petersburg, and place the gifting order on the 6th while you still have a clear head.
