Good Indian food with warm, pleasant service. The chef added a dessert to our meals that pure heaven.

Great @$$ food!! The staff is amazing. And nicest family. Eat here at least every other week.

The food was exceptional. Very friendly and efficient waiter (son of the owners). Nice ambiance. Ice cream treat given to us because it was our anniversary. They even had my favorite beer, 10,000 year old monk. Also very reasonable prices. We'll be regulars, for sure. read more

I was very disappointed with this restaurant. The service was slow and the staff seemed unfriendly. The food was bland, poorly cooked, and definitely not fresh. For the price, the quality was unacceptable I would not recommend it. read more

0/10 Bland food, overpriced, and forgettable. Nothing here reflects authentic Indian cuisine. There are far better options elsewhere. read more

I love this place. Food is amazing! I wish I could eat here every day. I'm a vegetarian so having a place that I can eat half the menu is wonderful. The family that owns Golden Swan is the best. read more

Pleasantly surprised to report this restaurant lives up to the hype and the yelp reviews. This was the most delicious, flavorful meal I have had in a while. The chicken korma and lamb tikka masala were excellent. I cannot wait to go back. read more

I love the food at the Golden Swan but I am having a very hard time trying to get the menu online. I want to do a take out order for family who lives down Cape. They would like to look over the menu. read more

My favorite restaurant on Cape! We order here once a week and would order every day if we could! The food is amazing, and the service is always great. Try the veggie samosas with the tamarind chutney. The best! read more

the food is the tastiest of all local Indian restaurants on cape cod ,, it has a freshness that completes the experience the Golden Swan is my place for Indian food read more

We really, really enjoyed our meal at Golden Swan this evening! Vegetable Samosa, Saag Paneer, Chana Masala and Garlic Naan was exceptional!! Thank you so much!! read more

I'm Literally obsessed. We have spent a lot of time In India, and I never expected to Find first class Indian in Falmouth. Naan is too expensive, my only complaint. Nice staff, and food is always hot and fresh. read more

Grabbed dinner here today and the food was delicious. The restaurant is dated but overall it is a solid place. They are able to accommodate larger groups as well. read more

Great chicken biryani and tikka masala. Only take out is available. Prices have went up since I've been by last

Delicious entrees and appetizer and wonderful service! Easy to do gluten-free. Right in the center of Falmouth. Generous portions. Super accommodating. read more

I have been a customer for roughly 20 years. I used to order 1-2 times per month, and I estimate that I have spent around $20,000 at Golden Swan over that time. I always tip between $8-$20, even for takeout. I have posted online reviews to help bring in more business, and even posted copies of their menus when people complained that the online prices did not match the prices on their in-store menu. I have recommended them to countless friends, coworkers, and relatives. In other words, I am the type of longterm customer most businesses value. Until recently, I thought the owners and their kids were very kind, friendly people, so it saddens me to write this. I will NOT return to this establishment, all due to a prepaid gift card that they refused to honor because it was...wait for it... 2 days past the expiration. Now before you judge me on this, know that this is ILLEGAL. In the state of Massachusetts, a gift card MUST BE VALID FOR 7 YEARS. My brother tried to explain this to them, but they became irate and told him that "other businesses do this, so we do it too". The owners insisted that they would "lose money" if they honored the gift card. How can they lose money when they were already paid for the full amount of the gift card in advance? That is just ridiculous. Even after I called to discuss the matter in a peaceful manner, they stood by their decision and continued to insist that there was nothing wrong with breaking the law by selling gift cards with a one-year expiration. So, sadly, Golden Swan lost a valuable customer (as well as other customers I have and would have sent their way) all over a $60 gift card. read more

I've eaten here many times over the 20 years, it's a shame to watch its decline! The interior is in huge need of a make over! Now they only do takeout Tonight we had chicken Tikka Marsala, I don't know what kind of chicken it was but looked and tasted like bits of frozen meat, certainly not fresh ! The sauce tasted like sauce from a jar Extremely disappointing I won't be back read more

Tasty Indian food from a friendly staff. When we were in Falmouth Golden Swan was still only available for takeout because of COVID. Hope they are open for lunch and dinner service by summer 2023. read more

Currently the restaurant is only offering takeout, but it's really pretty inside. They are also operating on a very limited menu due to renovation. I ordered the lamb tikka masala which was super flavorful, I got it in medium and as someone who enjoys heat it was not spicy at all imo. It had a nice rich creaminess that paired perfectly with the garlic naan. The rice it came with was not good, it didn't have much flavor and it was too dry for my personal taste. I also ordered the mango lassi and definitely recommend it. Overall, will definitely be coming back. read more

Food is solid, atmosphere is really weird and the service is friendly. I've only had takeout here 3 times, but I've never been disappointed and I've always enjoyed their garlic naan and they have good Korma, Vindaloo, and Tikka Masala. read more

Stopped by on a Monday around 2. I had called several times with no answer. So I figured I would stop by. The door was open and he told me hey had gone go Boston for groceries! He was so apologetic!! No worries! I ordered Lamb Korma medium spice and garlic naan. He asked the chef about the bread and because they had just opened for the day, the ovens were not hot and the naan would be over an hour! Nope, sorry! But he asked if the chef could do it quicker and he politely said no! I respected that as he knows what it takes to put out a quality product. I just did not have an hour to spare. Got the lamb korma snd while it was delicious, next time I am ordering it hot!! They are very hesitant about spice so if you like with a hint of spice, go all out! Rich and creamy! It was amazing and such nice people!! I will he back knowing the food is amazing but amazingly light on the spice!! read more

Took my daughter for her birthday she loves Indian food and we never have been there even though we live in Falmouth. I thought it was odd when we got there that they are still take out only .Which is fine because the place was so dark and hot as a oven. Quite comical we were standing at the door when we saw a gentleman waving at us we walked in and said since your not doing seating can we do take out?? He says what do you want?Good thing we'd checked out the menu long story short 45 minutes waiting time we walked around Main st for a while which even though we live here rarely do we do Main St little expensive whatever she enjoyed it .She was happy we had a good laugh about the whole thing .All in all ya I'll order take out from them again. Just remember 45 min waiting time so plan accordingly. read more

This place is so good. We're from NY but were quarantined in MA starting in late March to be near family with health issues. We started to crave Indian food and were despairing about the prospects of finding a good restaurant in the area. Enter Golden Swan. The food is legit. It is flavorful, well-spiced, and the portions are large. Samosas and pakoras are crisp and not oily; the rice is amazing (who ever says that take-out rice is good?). They also run a great socially-distanced takeout operation. Our favorites are the malai kofta, chicken korma, saag paneer, chicken tikka, garlic naan, and samosas. So glad we tried this place! read more

The food here is phenomenal and the staff is friendly. I don't know what took me so long to come here but I plan to be a regular!

Before coming to the Golden Swan I had never eaten quality Indian food. Now I cannot get enough of it. The rice is beyond perfect, somosas are to die for, and I couldn't get enough of the paneer cheese appetizer. On top of that the hospitality is fantastic. For Valentine's Day I asked if they could deliver a gift with each course when my wife and I ate there. I dropped off the gifts the day before, and the family was happy to oblige. 11/10 would highly recommend having a meal here. read more

I had hope that this place was good; however, it did disappoint. The service was very poor and the facility was very dirty- like the kind where your shoes stick to the carpet. They only did togo orders due to renovations; however, it didn't look like they were renovating. I ordered tiki masala and butter chicken and I am confident I got the same thing in both- I asked for mild but this had no kick at all and very little flavor. $85 for 2 meals and the food was a disappointment. I would never recommend this place. read more

I tried the chicken tikka masala which was great with garlic naan. And the chicken noodle soup was also very tasty. Hit the spot, theres no dine in because the pandemic but they let me order takeout really close to their closing time and were super nice about it. read more

We had a dinner here on our way from Martha's Vineyard. On Monday they just had a take out. We requested to have food ready sooner as we were traveling further. They had food ready in 20 minutes. The food was great very close to authentic Punjabi food. I highly recommend this if you are in Cape Cod area. read more

This is hands down my favorite Indian restaurant. Authentic food prepared by a local family has kept me a loyal customer over last 18 years. read more

Really didnt like the food, which was take out only, or ambiance.

great food and friendly staff. When I walked in it was a little dark and a takeout customer was standing in a karate stance

Really great indian food. Currently only takeout only, but that means they are really focused on excelling at it. The samosas were fresh and large. The Tikka masala was delicious (note, their medium is an actual medium spicy, so adjust accordingly!) The naan was good as well, could have had a bit more garlic to it, but still delicious. We will definitely order from here again! read more

Wanted to try something different in takeout. Ordered the chicken korma And the pasuri naan Absolutely delicious! That combination will be at the top of my list from now on. I am curious about the rest of the menu, but will have a hard time ordering anything else after tonight. read more

Biryani and masala The Golden Swan is an Indian restaurant right in the center of the town of Falmouth. It looks tiny from the outside but is actually quite a bit larger and spacious once you get inside. It has lots of cool decorations and Indian art scattered about and a very mellow and relaxing atmosphere. We went for lunch and it was pretty empty so the service was prompt and efficient. We ended up getting a samosa appetizer and the chicken tikka masala and lamb biryani. My wife also got a wonderful coconut milkshake. The food was excellent, flavorful without being excessive hot and spicy. The lunch portions were a bit on the skimpy side but with the samosas turned out to be just what we wanted. The server was present and attentive without being intrusive. Golden Swan looks a bit out of place among all the seafood places in the area and it is a bit on the pricey side. But if you're craving for Indian food or something other than seafood it certainly is a place worth visiting. read more

Really consistent and great chicken tikka masala! Not too spicy for my mild mouth. Also really safe pick-up process which I appreciate!

While living in Greenfield MA we had our go-to Indian restaurant, so we decided to try out Golden Swan since we have moved to Falmouth. Since this was our first time ordering from this restaurant, we didn't know what to expect but were pleased by the food here. We ended up buying an order of Paneer Tikka Masala as well as naan. The naan was delicious and the Tikka Masala was the perfect spicy for our palate. The rice that accompanied the meal was perfectly cooked and overall we enjoyed the meal. Since we ordered our meal as a to-go order, we didn't have the chance to dine in, but the restaurant was comfortable. The staff here was pleasant but brisk which could have been due to the fact that we were picking up a take-out order. That being said, the next time we stop here we will dine in and we hope to try out other items from their menu. read more

Pretty good Indian cuisine. Great flavor and Polite service. I'm giving 3 stars because the atmosphere is drab and the dishes could be a little more creative. A menu and restaurant renovation could make this place a 5 star easy. All in all, great food ...worth the price read more

Discovered this place when we moved to South Plymouth a few years ago as it is the closest Indian restaurant we could find. Despite a bit of a drive, It has become our go to Indian restaurant as the food has been reliably terrific. Even with COVID necessitated takeout, we continue to make the drive. Last night's Lamb Saag was the best. Love this place!! read more

Food was AMAZING. Easily the best Indian food I've had on Cape. Will definitely be coming back. We ordered two orders of rice, one chicken curry, and an order of garlic naan and we're able to eat twice. Was inexpensive for the quality AND quantity of food we received. Thank you!! read more

As the hubby and I are slowly transitioning to moving to the Cape, we were very pleased to find out that there was this Indian restaurant in Falmouth, as we both love the cuisine! We were a bit concerned as there are slim pickings for Indian restaurants on the Cape. Thankfully, The Golden Swan is an authentic winner! We were actually dining in another Indian restaurant last night in the Boston area, which led me to write this review for the Swan. As good as the Boston based Indian restaurant is, we found ourselves comparing it to our new Indian place, and can relate it to the funny Seinfeld episode where Jerry finds and ends up crushin' on a new barber that gives him a better haircut than his regular one. I actually don't want to mention the Boston-based Indian place, almost feeling as guilty as Jerry did in the episode. :) The two things we found that the Boston based Indian restaurant does better than the Golden Swan is korma and nan bread. But the Swan makes up for it with a nice curry, and their condiments of mint, onion (both of these especially divine in color, texture and taste) and taramind sauce are better. They have a lovely non-vegetarian dinner for two meal that has better samosas, and a nice sizzling plate along with a tasty lentil soup to go with it. The flow of the dinner for two was very well done. Finally, their shrimp (in the curry I ordered) were nice and robust. We also appreciate that they are able to make small modifications to the dinner for two for a slight fee if you ask (which is how we tried the korma in the dinner for two selection). We've only been to the Swan a couple times, but we will happily come back and are already looking forward to our next visit! read more
