FAMOUS GOODY BAGS!

an incredibly special price to celebrate the inaugeral Great
Perthshire Picnic!
Pop in on the 23rd and 24th of September to either shop and
pick up a bag!
Maximum of 2 bags per customer, while stocks last.
SIMON HOWIE
My first love was always farming, but at the age of twelve
my dad suggested butchery, so I started as a
Saturday boy in a local perth shop.
After finishing school I went to serve my
apprenticeship in the shop as a career.
In 1986, at the age of 19, I was able to get
enough money together to open my very
own, very small, shop then away I went.
I bought my first shop in Dunning for
two thousand one hundred pounds,
it was a sum of money at the time,
but I doubt I’d be able to get much
of a shop for that nowadays.
That first day of running my
own business was wonderful
and I still remember my very
first customer, Mrs Lawson
(7.30am, 16th December 1986).

OUR STORY
My wife and I have a passion for good and simple food. We
were both born and brought up in rural villages in India,
where every meal of the day is freshly made using ingredients
grown in local fields.
In our restaurant we do the same. Even today all spices used
in Tabla are grown in our family’s fields in India, then carefully
processed to perfection to make the best home style curry –
just as we like it.
I have gained great wealth of Food and Restaurant
management skills from The Gleneagles Hotel & Turnberry
Hotel, where I worked over 6 years. Tabla is well presented
restaurant with stone walls and open kitchen. You’ll find
cheerful and well attentive staff to exceed your dining
expectations.
Welcome to an authentic Indian dining experience!
