I have driven past Swagat many times on my way home from work, and as Indian cuisine is one of my…read morefavorites, it has been on my list to try. I had a very long workday yesterday, so Larry S. offered to order food for me to pick up on my way home. Naturally, I said ,"Let's try Swagat!". He placed the order online. As I was driving to the restaurant, he followed up that there was a $5 online ordering fee and then someone from the restaurant repeatedly called to advise that they were out of one of the items we ordered. So, we did not start off on the right foot. It was unclear if there was parking (they are next to Tacos vs. Burritos and there is parking lot in between the two restaurants, but it's not clear if the parking is for one restaurant or the other); however, I was able to get a street spot right in front. The food was supposed to be ready at 6:15, and it was! Inside, there was only one table occupied and the door was locked, which was kind of odd. The proprietor came and unlocked it and advised the food would be ready in a few minutes - it was! He explained that they just set up online ordering and there was not supposed to be a charge for that, so he handed me the $5 back and apologized profusely! Say what?! Already I was liking the customer service here! We ordered the following: Lasuni Gobi - Indo - Chinese crispy cauliflower in a garlicky coating KFC - Kerala style fried chicken Kebab Tasting - assortment of kebabs Fish Curry - Goan style Two types of naan - butter and garlic Basmati rice Everything was fantastic! Super flavorful; we ordered it medium hot and could have gone a little hotter, but it's always best to be conservative to start as spicing is subjective. For me, the stand out was the fish curry and the fish kebab. The Gobi didn't travel well and was not crispy at all by the time I got it home. Larry really liked the fried chicken. The crisp stood up to the travel time! The dinner pricing is on the high side, but it was totally worth it as the food was not at all greasy or heavy, and the spicing was delicate and nuanced. My only complaint was that the portion sizes were a little small. For a $120 order, it would have been nice to have leftovers. It looks like they have a good lunch special, plus, they have a $60 tasting menu that looks fire, so we are definitely going back! In all, I thought the food and the customer service were really fantastic and I will always welcome another Indian option!

Everyone talks about the Bourdain visit, but it didn't really register for me; I don't remember…read morethat part. I think the desire was due to the cost and claimed tasted. I ordered 2 Jamaican jerk roti to go. I couldn't find where to purchase this online, so I just called. The guy said that he would get it in but that he was slammed and that it would be about 30 minutes. I was like ok. Then he hung up. He called back in 15 minutes to tell me that it was ready. So, I drove over, waited a minute or two, he said I have your rotis ready. I've never been there and didn't pay in advance, so I was like this is a solid mom and pop place. Now for the food...the roti wrapper was very good, not too chewy, not too crunchy. They were meaty, very meaty, and although the spiciness wasn't as I like my Jerk, it did taste like Jerk chicken. What I didn't like was the sweetness. The meat was sweet. I've never had sweet Jerk before, so that was a new one. While I'll probably go back and check out the oxtail or something, or maybe another roti, I don't think I'll go back for the Jerk. There are better Jerk places around the area. Still, a solid place, even just for the character.

Their tasting menu is designed for everyone to try different things on the menu. They cover everything from appetizers to desserts. For the price point, it is a very good deal and worth every penny.

I have gone there again and again for just the dessert. They get busy. Call ahead to make sure you get a table. Remember, the restaurant is open, just the door is very heavy.

My favorite entrée is the chicken tikka masala, and I absolutely love the Truffle and Brie naan with the mango chutney. The ghost pepper cheddar naan with the apple chutney is another must-order if you can handle the spice. During happy hour, the tikka fries and charred corn are two of my favorite dishes. For dessert, the sticky date cake is my go-to, but if you're looking for something lighter, the chai ice cream sandwiches served on a traditional Indian cookie are perfect for sharing. The service and atmosphere make my whole experience so much better. The restaurant is beautiful inside, and everyone is always so kind and welcoming.

I believe it's a "mom and pop" shop, and the hostess was friendly and helpful, checking on me that the food was good. It was tasty and with a nice kick of spice! My main was relatively simple, their mango chicken curry. The stew base was hearty and pretty generous with the chicken in both quantity and taste. The amount of heat was perfect, with enough delicious heat. My bowl of basmati rice was well grained and balanced the heat nicely. Oh and did I mention the fluffy, warm and buttery naan bread? It is worth making that your cheat meal! I'm holding off the fifth star because I want to check out a few other of their spicier plates. Glad to have this neighborhood gem nearby!
