What took us to this restaurant in the first place is parking space... we wanted to go to few other…read morerestaurants but we quickly learnt that parking can be a nightmare in Lugano. We called, booked a reservation, drove to Tabla. Found immediate parking in front of the restaurant. As soon as we entered we were greeted, seated and service began promptly. Ambiance was good. We decided to try the 6 course vegetarian tasting menu and to our surprise the food was delicious!! We did not expect to have such delicious, flavourful food in Lugano. We started with samosa which had a very unique flavour, that set the course for what to expect from the experience. Our favourite was their version of Dosa and the vegan rose kulfi. Least favourite was dahi puri. Everything else tasted... (is sophisticated a word that can be used to describe flavour? Then that would be it) Overall we loved it! Gagan was kind to come and introduce himself and make sure everything went well. If you visit Lugano, definitely give this place a try!

From the time we walked in till we left, customer service was impeccable. The waiter understood our dietary restrictions and special request and made sure they were met. Food was fingerlicking delicious. We had Egg (Anda) curry, Kadai Paneer, lamb Kemah, Biryani and Malai Kofta. We also ordered Naan with garlic and chili's which was not on the menu. Every dish had the right flavor and spice. With so many choices, we usually get dishes with same gravy however not in this case. I would go there again. Originally from India I can definitely say that this place has authentic Indian food.

We were surprised upon arrival to find Il Nibbio to be an Indian restaurant when we specifically asked the concierge for an Italian/Pizzeria recommendation, being in Ticino and all. The interior of the restaurant is decorated like a Bollywood spectacular, which was unexpected but entertaining nonetheless. Big flat screen TVs on both ends of the dining room played modern and old school Indian dance videos you just can't take your eyes off of. The friendly Indian waiter explained to us that the previously Italian restaurant had recently undergone an Indian transformation but still served Italian fares such as pizzas and pastas. He brought us tablets that has both menus installed with photos and prices of all the offerings. My husband ordered a pizza while I ordered a seafood pasta. The waiter reassured me that they use fresh and not frozen seafood. He also assured my husband that they make very good pizza and for him not to worry. Our dishes arrived in a reasonable time. To his disappointment, the pizza didn't have much taste. I mean the dough was good, the ingredients are all there, but the whole thing just lacked flavor. He tried to salvage it with some salt and pepper to no avail. My seafood pasta came inside closed tinfoil on top of the plate. I'm used to Italian dishes inside wax paper that it was baked in, but it's highly unusual to have it come inside cold tin foil instead of just on a hot plate. After I carefully poured out the seafood pasta onto my plate instead of spilling it all over the table, my heart sank after the first bite. The pasta was very over boiled instead of al dente and the seafood did not taste very fresh, especially not the mussels. I cannot attest to the Indian dishes offered because we didn't try any, but the Italian fares were definitely sub-par. Will go to the Lugano city center for a late night dinner next time.
