About Us...
Why we are the best
Ask anyone from India what makes food authentic and they will tell you the same thing. It is not the decor and it is not the menu size. It is the spices, the technique, and the patience. That belief is the foundation of Tawabl India. Our name literally means spices, and since 2013 we have been grinding our own masala blends, running a real charcoal tandoor, and cooking biryani the slow way for families across Riyadh. Two branches, one promise: food that tastes like it came from a kitchen in India, not a shortcut.
- Authentic recipes from the heart of India
- Unmatched quality
- Experienced professional chefs
- Unparalleled service

Yes. Our kitchen is led by experienced chefs who trained in Indian kitchens and mastered traditional techniques over decades. They cook the way food is prepared back home, layering spices patiently, sealing biryani for slow dum steaming and grilling over real charcoal. Their expertise is the reason our flavors stay true to India.
Absolutely. Our name Tawabl literally means spices and we take that seriously. We grind and blend our own masala mixes in house rather than relying on pre packaged powders.
