Strategically located on the picturesque Cinque port of Hythe is the Best Western Stade Court Hotel that's been wooing guests to this part of Kent for a long time on account of its proximity to the sea. Tucked away in the first floor is Tabla - the Indian restaurant that promises an elegant space for dining with beautiful views. Quiet, serene and comfortable, it makes the perfect meeting place for both business and pleasure. Those hoping to escape the hustle-bustle of city life won't be disappointed here.

Tabla brings in a creative twist to familiar tastes with dishes like chicken marinated in gin and badami paneer tikki, an interesting starter made of potatoes, almond and cheese, pan fried and served with tamarind coulis and a drizzle of green chutney. Try the chapli kebab - pan-fried patties of delicate coriander flavoured minced lamb - before moving onto khumb hara pyaz, fresh mushrooms and spring onions stir-fried with a touch of fennel.

Special occasions at Tabla come with thoughtful little touches that make the event even more memorable.
