I've been here a couple of times. The first time just for desserts. And boy howdy do they have a…read moregreat variety. I had some sort of chocolate cake that was outstanding. As is the house made baklava. Tonight we indulge in the house made honey cake. Here's the thing... the owner is just so accommodating. He made me two plates with shawarma, hummus, salad and rice with a side of pita. Wasn't on the menu and I was going to order everything separately... but this was an awesome gesture and was really good. I'll be back to try the other main dishes, but so far the standouts are the house made desserts by the owners wife! Eat local :)

That being said, you need to know that this isn't a sit down restaurant, it's more of a food truck+ kind of place. Order and take it home to eat or to a park in good weather. They're also on door dash and when I arrived, everything was well prepared and on time. The owners greeted me and were excited to have the business. The front of the shop is clean and the menu is clear and easy to read. It's nice that they let you see the kitchen too, so you know exactly what they're working with. Now, let's get to the good part - The food. As you can see in the menu, they have a wide variety of options. Pastries to pizza to wings to dessert - truly, there is something for you here. We landed on the following - - Falafel App (3.5/5) : 4 falafels with a side of tahini. The falafel outer crust was flavorful but the inside was incredibly dry. It was also more puck shaped which has me thinking they were frozen, so that could be why it tasted as it did - Lamb Kebab Plate (5/5): FANTASTIC. The rice is super flavorful and is the same that comes with all plates. The salad was light and refreshing with some cheese that looked like tofu but tasted more like paneer. It was good and light and exactly what we needed to cut the richness of the lamb. Speaking of lamb though. It was exceptional. Clearly well marinated and well cooked, tender with some chewiness from the grizzle, which I love. Would absolutely have this again. - Beef Kebab Plate (5/5): Just like the lamb, very tender and flavorful. You could taste the char on it and it was truly, fantastic. - Chicken Donor in Homemade Bread (4/5): I think I would have preferred the shwarma wrap but the homemade title got me. It's basically just a pita bread, wasn't special. The chicken was well seasoned and the fillings were plentiful. -Kurabie Cookies (3.8/5): Nothing special, but a nice little treat. -Honey Cake (4.5/5): Not very sweet and still light. I continued to go in for more bites -Praga Cake (Chocloate) (4.9/5): RICH, decadent, deliciousness. So good, would highly recommend. - Azerbaijani Baklava (4.8/5): a really stinkin good baklava. I would get 2 for myself to eat. I didn't get any pictures of the food because we were starving and it smelled so good. Happy Eating!!

It's been far too many years since my previous visit to this place…read more But last night I ended that. A sudden wave of needing a spicy curry or vindaloo overcame my emotions. Next thing I knew I was in the parking lot and searching for Swagat. Because it was a Monday night it had only 3-4 tables of customers, so my order was ready before I was even thinking about it taking too long. The service was very friendly and personable as well. Suggestions were made while I was trying to decide what the last Indian dish I last had, and I'm relieved he suggested what he did. Vindaloo. Spicy beef and make it your top spice level. He started to caution me, but I was very intent about my capsaicin intake. Dall was me secondary items, yellow, and only at the middle point for heat. Plain naan. Very simple and direct. Upon returning home the scent was enormously delicious and inviting. The delicate long grain rice was perfectly cooked and such a subtle item to be actually a star on the dish, rather than a simple starch to take up space. Potatoes were large and delicate while firm. Beef, velvety soft and still not losing its texture. The yellow lentils were a bit different than I'd expected. I last enjoyed them ages ago and my recall was that they still held some of their form. These were cooked further down, not in an unpleasant or overly aggressive manner, just different than I was expecting. Delicious. Beautifully colorful, saffron(?) I'm unsure. Naan. Another item that deserves a starring role in a meal. This was far better than any of the recent times at either of the two nearby Indian restaurants that I've been spending more time than I now think I plan to in the coming months and years. Tonight I'm enjoying the food from last nights dinner. Should've taken some pics. But take out meals aren't artfully prepared. So they don't really matter anyway.
