The Halloween Menu at Tabla's Four Restaurants

Halloween Special Menu
Halloween Special Menu

The restaurant menu has one appetizer, three entrées, one dessert and a special drink, served October 26 through November 1 at all four restaurants. Pumpkin, spinach, lentils and cardamom carry most of the plates, so anyone looking for Halloween dinner food with real autumn flavor will find it here. Each dish below is listed with its menu price and description.

Halloween Appetizer: Palak Ke Phool, $15

Palak Ke Phool is the only starter on the restaurant menu, priced at $15. In Hindi the name means "spinach flowers," and the menu describes it exactly that way: crispy spinach flowers crafted with flavorful spices and served with an Indian twist. It is the lightest way to open the meal before the curries arrive.

Shyam Savera Kofta Curry, $21

Shyam Savera Kofta Curry costs $21 and sets stuffed cheese spinach balls in a creamy korma sauce. The Hindi name translates loosely to "dusk and dawn." Kofta are round dumplings; here they are made with spinach and stuffed with cheese.

Lahori Fish Masala, $24

Lahori Fish Masala is the highest-priced dish on the menu at $24. Table describes it as crispy spiced fish, marinated in Lahori masala and fried to golden perfection. The name refers to Lahore, a Punjab city long associated with spiced fried fish.

Pumpkin Pulao Rice, $20

Pumpkin Pulao Rice brings the season's best-known squash to a $20 plate of fragrant basmati rice infused with seasonal pumpkin flavors and aromatic Indian spices. You choose the protein: vegetable, paneer, chicken, goat or lamb, based on availability. Pulao is a rice dish where the grains cook together with the spices, so the pumpkin flavor runs through every spoonful.

Halloween Dessert: Moong Dal Halwa, $8

Moong Dal Halwa closes the menu at $8. Tabla describes it as a rich, creamy lentil dessert flavored with cardamom and ghee. Made from split yellow moong lentils, this halwa is a cold-weather favorite in North India, which suits an October night.

Halloween Drink: Pumpkin Spice Chai, $5.99

The restaurants' Halloween special drink is a $5.99 Pumpkin Spice Chai. Per the menu, it is traditional Indian chai blended with warm pumpkin spice flavors for the perfect fall treat. It pairs with the Moong Dal Halwa at the end of the meal, or with Palak Ke Phool at the start.
