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!

Pretty touristy place but with an amazing outside patio. I'm not sure about the 'local…read moreauthenticity' of the menu. Most of the meat is served on a hot stone, even sausages. I'm not a fan of the hot stone thing; nevertheless it makes a change to the average restaurant visit. The dishes came with a lot of rice or potatoes but without any veggies. I had an appetizer salad and the horse as main course - both tasted great.

Lunch in Lugano. Our brief excursion from the Como area before returning to MXP. We sat in a lovely…read moreoutside terrace by the piazza. We did not get offered a menu nor a wine list despite this being a wine bar. My friend ordered a glass of Champagne and I a glass of red wine. I was not asked what varietal. The waiter announced a Merlot and went on his way. There was a food menu on the wall. A pasta with a tomato sauce and meat balls was listed but the waiter said they could also do an Arrabbiata. I ordered the latter, I got the former. It was still good but not what I ordered. My friend's bruschetta was good. We were worried about a glass of champagne, but the price ended up very reasonable.

Front of house was excellent. Beautiful restaurant and setting. Friendly and attentive staff…read more Food was pretentious, overpriced, and above all, very poorly executed. Eggplant was decent but a little dated in plating. Nest was not cold or warm and the "perfectly cooked egg" as described was undercooked by a lot. Clear uncooked egg white. Fish of the day was good but they included a component that was on the allergens we informed them of. Also the veges were overstated by a lot. Pork dish was tasty, but just two bites. This was sold as a secondi. 40 euro for two bites of essentially a meatball, and it was smaller than even an appetizer should be. Ridiculous. This smelled of a chef in love with his "creativity and training" and not thinking about the customer. Change the chef. I would gladly pay these prices for better portions and more importantly better execution
