New York City: Tabla’s 10

Snow pea foogath with coconut and mustard seeds. Portuguese-style spicy pork sausage in a brioche bun. Bombay Parsi spicy-sour curry with sautéed scallops and cilantro. Pork, duck, and pistachio sausage served with spiced orange chutney. These are just a few of the dishes that Floyd Cardoz served last Wednesday night at Tabla’s 10, the restaurant’s weekly anniversary celebration. “I won’t know what will be on the menu until I talk to my farmers,” he says, “but it will be different each week.” With no dish costing more than $10, and each a fascinating play of spice and texture, the room was filled with fabulous aromas as happy diners scooped naan, curries, and chutneys off the banana leaf–covered tables. I can’t wait to see what Cardoz will be serving next Wednesday.
