I've been to Tabla in NYC, and the food at Junnoon is nowhere near as good or inventive as Tabla. I guess mentioning their slight association with Tabla works as a good marketing ploy, but for those who have actually been to Tabla it is just setting us up for a disappointing meal. The dining room is nice and the service is professional. The food is very overpriced. The $18 dollar lunch plate seems like a relative bargain, but the protein portions are tiny. For dinner, they charge you for everything (raita, chutney) despite the already high prices for the entrees. If the food was Tabla caliber, it may be worth it... too bad it's not.
