    Their food was not as flavorful as I thought that it would be unfortunately. It is a nice sit down restaurant with friendly staff but the food missed the mark. It looked delicious but didn't have the punch that we were looking for.

    Attended a birthday dinner recently at this location. Super service from our waitress as we had a party of 16. First time at a restaurant like this but felt pretty comfortable on what I should order and every one shared a little of theirs so got a wide range of taste testing. I would recommend giving this place a try

    Came on the weekend with my wife and her family and everything was honesty great. We got the thali platters with garlic naan and everything was so good especially the butter chicken. It's fair price and plentiful food with a lot of variety. The waiter Lefitto was able to accommodate our strange requests to have mimosas by providing mango purée and the bubbly. The experienced was mostly enhanced by Lefitto. His energy, friendliness, and genuine personality made interactions very seamless and he was very accommodating to our needs. Great food, great ambiance, and great service. We'll defiantly make Swagat our staple Indian food destination for cravings.

    So I want to give a solid 3.5 to this restaurant solely because of the amazing value of their lunch Thali ($15) for chicken, goat, or vegetarian. Great deal! Available even on weekends! The location is in the Orenco area with a parking lot in the back. They have a big heavy door and you can tell they put a lot of effort into the inside decor. The last time I was here was pre-COVID when they still had buffets but sadly I don't think those are coming back. We were a big group of 10 with a toddler needing a high chair. We were greeted right away and lead to the upper area that could accommodate the group. Our order was taken quickly and the food came out in a timely manner piping hot. Again I would highly recommend getting the thali lunch for its awesome value and the great variety. I tried my friend's butter chicken and it was very creamy and tender. The only gripe I had with my goat curry in my thali is there were SO MANY small bones in it! It was really hard to work past that, but also the goat curry was spicier than I expected. Overall, I think this is a great lunch spot for the thali lunches but there are definitely better Indian spots in the area.

    We've been coming to Swagat for years and have always loved the food. The prices have gone up post- Covid but the variety in their Thali is delicious. We always get the chicken Thali with extra tandoori chicken - which used to be $1 each, but now they are $2 each piece. We really wish they would bring the buffet back! We would be here twice a week if they did that. Service is always fairly quick and friendly.

    My husband and I stopped at Swagat for lunch while visiting Hillsboro. There was quite a line for a table because there was only one person seating people (as far as I could tell). This is a beautiful restaurant, by the way, in a very lovely neighborhood. Our waiter was amazing. We ordered vegetable samosas, aloo gobi, chicken kadai, and naan. We were a little surprised at the smaller portion sizes compared to the higher prices, but everything was bursting with flavor and we have no regrets.

    Stylish atmosphere at Swagat Orenco.

    I've eaten the lunch buffet at the Orenco Swagat several times over the years and always left with the same impression. The atmosphere is stylish and comfortable. The service ranges from pleasant to indifferent. The food is mediocre at best. Swagat has three locations, Orenco, Beaverton and on Lovejoy street in Portland. The Orenco location is conveniently located near my workplace and that's why I continue to visit them. But there is far better Indian food all over the Portland area. The lunch buffet does not include any soft drinks or chai. It has very few vegetarian items and what is there isn't memorable. The best thing about Orenco Swagat is the nice atmosphere. But when you're hungry the atmosphere won't help you. I do not recommend visiting this place.

    Came for their weekend lunch buffet and wasn't terribly impressed. Food was decent, especially their mushroom korma and opo squash. Tandoori chicken was comparable to other places. However, the naan needed salt and there were only a few meat options (including a chicken biryani), which didn't justify the $13.95 price tag. Service was also lackluster. There was initially no one in the front of house and we were literally looking for someone to seat us. The bus person also wasn't friendly. He topped off my brother's water glass, but missed mine (which was nearly empty). When I asked him for a refill, he just looked at me and didn't say a word as he finally filled my glass. With so many other options for Indian lunch buffets in the area, I'll look elsewhere for better experiences and value in the future.

    Dal makhni, shahi paneer, naan and rice.

    Horrible pricey food served by an inattentive service! Bread rolled, fried and dipped in watery syrup was served as gulab jamun. Runny, water like gravy for shahi paneer, that there was nothing shahi about the dish. The supposed to be creamy dal makhni felt stale and flavorless. I previously visited the restaurant in Portland with not to be remembered experience. However, this one is so bad that we decided not to visit them or their sister branch again. They don't have an order to serve food on every table. Water cups, or food is placed haphazardly and the same dish would be served in different/bigger containers on the table next to you, when they claim to be in fine dinning space for Indian food. Water soaked gulab jamun or shahi paneer put questions about their food preparations. I would refrain and you should avoid them too. For better Indian flavors, visit dil se or hello India. I know, these places are far, but at least they are worth your money.

    Their food is good but some staff members are extremely rude. They provide good or bad hospitality according to people's races.

The location and atmosphere is nothing special, but that isn't why you come here. Both times I've gone it's been busy, but we were able to get seated right away. The paneer makhani curry is delectable. It's rich, sweet, spicy, creamy, and has a great depth of flavor and spices. The shrimp biryani was the standout dish for me that I still keep thinking about. The rice was aromatic and cooked perfectly, while the shrimp was robust, bright, and very spicy. I would recommend ordering a spice level down from what you would normally get.The mini samosas were packed with flavor and I loved all onions in them. The garlic naan was also solid. All around incredible food!

Unfortunately, my second order via DoorDash missed the mark in two significant ways: 1) Spice level not honored: I ordered butter chicken and Mughlai paneer and selected "mild", specifically because my 5-year-old was going to eat with me. What arrived was unbearably hot, even for an adult used to spicy Indian food. I double-checked my receipt and the mild selection was clearly there. Neither dish was edible for my child, and I could barely get through it myself. What's especially frustrating is that my first order at mild spice came out perfectly mild. Dishes like butter chicken and Mughlai korma-style preparations are traditionally on the gentler end of the heat spectrum. It would be great if the restaurant could maintain consistency in honoring spice level selections, as it makes a difference for the person eating it. 2) No rice with the main course: In every Indian restaurant I've visited globally, a main entree comes with a side of rice as standard. I didn't select "extra rice" on DoorDash assuming this was a given, and added only a garlic naan. What arrived was two entrees and a very small portion of naan (two thin slices, really enough for one person), and no rice at all. A heads-up on the menu or at checkout that rice is not included would go a long way. I hope the restaurant takes this feedback seriously, because the food itself is very tasty!
