Nine nights of garba and nobody arrives empty handed, which is why Navratri Sweets get bought in volume rather than one box at a time. Tabla is running 15% off its sweets from 11th October to 20th October, which covers the full stretch of visiting, hosting, and showing up at someone's door at 9 PM.
This guide lays out which sweets are on offer, what each one costs before and after the discount, and which Tabla locations are running it. The counters differ by city, so the prices do too.
Quick Summary
Tabla is offering 15% off Navratri Sweets from 11th October to 20th October at its locations, including Lake Nona, Oviedo, Orlando, Winter Park, St. Petersburg, Grapevine and Boston. The Florida restaurants carry boxed sweets at $15, $20 and $30, so a $20 box of kaju katli costs $17 during the Navratri special. St. Petersburg sells sweets by the piece from $1.50.
Where the Navratri Special Is Running
The Navratri Sweets offer runs across Tabla locations from 11th October to 20th October. The discount is the same 15% everywhere, and the sweets counter itself differs by location.
- Orlando Restaurant
- Orlando Cafe
- Oviedo
- Lake Nona
- Winter Park
- St. Petersburg,
- Grapevine
- Boston
Check what is in the case at your location before making the drive, since the Navratri special applies to the sweets each store actually stocks.
What 15% Off Comes To on the Sweets Box
Percentages are easy to announce and annoying to calculate standing at a counter. Here is the Tabla Navratri special in plain numbers, for the boxed sweets range carried at the Florida restaurants.
| Sweet | Regular | With 15% off |
| Milk Cake | $15 | $12.75 |
| Boondi Laddu | $15 | $12.75 |
| Mysorepak | $15 | $12.75 |
| Kaju Katli | $20 | $17.00 |
| Kaju Pista Roll | $20 | $12.75 |
| Mango Bites | $20 | $17.00 |
| Stuffed Dates | $30 | $25.50 |
Four boxes at the $20 tier saves you $12 across the order, which is roughly one more box of laddu. The maths does what maths during a festival should do.
The offer runs 11th October to 20th October, which is ten days to get the order placed.
The Box You Take to Someone Else's House
Arriving at a Navratri evening with a box is not optional, and the choice says something about how much thought went into it. Among Tabla's Navratri Sweets, kaju katli is the one that nobody has ever handed back.
A box of thin cashew diamonds at $20, down to $17 during the Navratri special, is the safest thing on the list to hand over. Kaju pista roll at the same price is the one for a house that already has three boxes of kaju katli on the counter.
- Kaju Katli, $20, now $17. The default, and defaults exist for a reason.
- Kaju Pista Roll, $20, now $17. Same cashew base, pistachio through the middle.
- Mango Bites, $20, now $17. The one that gets eaten first by anyone under twelve.
Stuffed dates at $30, down to $25.50, is the box for the house you are trying to impress or the relative who comments on everything.
The Sweets You Buy for Your Own Kitchen
Not every box leaves the house. The $15 tier of Tabla's Navratri Sweets is the one that sits on your own counter for nine nights and quietly disappears.
- Milk Cake, $15, now $12.75. Dense, grainy, browns toward the centre.
- Boondi Laddu, $15, now $12.75. The one that holds up best in a tin.
- Mysorepak, $15, now $12.75. Ghee-heavy and crumbly, and the first to go in most houses.
Three boxes at the $15 tier comes to $38.25 with the Navratri special applied instead of $45. That is the difference between buying two and buying three, which is the calculation everyone is actually making.
Buy the laddu on the 11th. It will still be good on the 20th, which is more than can be said for most things in this list.
Navratri Sweets in Orlando
Orlando runs Navratri hard, and the week of the 11th is when every house in the area starts stocking up at once. Tabla's Navratri Sweets Orlando lineup is the same seven boxes at the same 15% off, from the 11th to the 20th.
The Orlando location carries the full sweets box selection, which means kaju katli, kaju pista roll, mango bites, milk cake, boondi laddu, mysorepak and stuffed dates are all in the same case. Mixing tiers across one order is the move here, since the $15, $20 and $30 boxes all sit together.
Go early in the window rather than late. Nine nights of demand on a fixed case of sweets ends the way it always ends.
Navratri Sweets in Winter Park
Winter Park's Navratri crowd tends to be the one picking up on the way somewhere, which makes a sealed box of sweets the practical order. The Navratri Sweets Winter Park offer at Tabla runs on the same dates, 11th to 20th October, at the same 15% off.
Call ahead to confirm which boxes are in the case on the day you want them. Sweets stock moves faster during Navratri than at any other point in the year.
Navratri Sweets in St. Petersburg
St. Petersburg does this differently, and for a lot of people it is the better way. Tabla's St. Petersburg counter sells Navratri Sweets by the piece rather than by the box, which means you build the assortment yourself instead of taking what the box decided.
| Sweet | Price per piece | |
| Motichoor Ladoo | $1.50 | |
| Kaju Katli | $1.50 | |
| Kaju Pista Roll | $1.50 | |
| Punjabi Cham Cham | $2.00 | |
| Gulkand Petha Roll | $2.00 | |
| Pakiza | $2.00 | |
| Milk Cake | $2.00 |
The 15% comes off the total, which is where buying by the piece pays. Twenty motichoor ladoo is $30 at the counter and $25.50 during the Navratri special. Twenty of the $2.00 sweets is $40, down to $34.
The gulkand petha roll is the one most people have not had before. Order two and find out whether you want twenty.
Navratri Sweets in Grapevine and Boston
Texas and Massachusetts get the same 15% and the same dates, 11th October to 20th October. Tabla Grapevine and Tabla Express Boston both run the Navratri special on the sweets they carry.
Neither kitchen lists the boxed sweets range that the Florida restaurants carry, so a call ahead is worth the thirty seconds. Ask what is in the case on the day rather than arriving with a list.
How to Get the Navratri Special
The 15% applies to the sweets during the offer window at participating Tabla locations. Here are the terms in one block.
- Dates: 11th October to 20th October
- Discount: 15% off sweets
- Where: Tabla locations, including Orlando, Winter Park, St. Petersburg, Grapevine and Boston
- Sweets range: boxed at the Florida restaurants, by the piece at St. Petersburg
Buying for a party of twelve rather than a family of four is worth a phone call ahead, since a large sweets order is easier to have set aside than assembled while you wait.
