We went for an early dinner before a nearby event. Although pretty empty when we arrived, the restaurant filled up while we were there. We were greeted in a friendly manner and decided to order curry shrimp and aloo gohbi with rice and naan. The shrimp were good, perhaps very slightly overdone and were in a tasty and satisfying sauce. We went with medium spice on the recommendation of the server and it was perfect for our Canadian palate! The ali gohbi dish was fantastic with perfectly cooked potato and cauliflower and chunks of tomato. It was a very satisfying meal. read more

Swagat India Bar and Bistro - menu - Indian Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

Don't let the neighbourhood or the decor fool you, Swagat are turning out some amazing Indian food. A friend and I were craving curry, and he made the suggestion that we meet up here. He has been before and raved about the food. A nice unassuming family restaurant in the old Albert's Pancake House location right on the traffic circle at 118 ave and 101 st, accessing can be awkward, but as I frequent The Barbecue House in the same strip, I know a few tricks. The restaurant was dimly lit, and the tables are mostly booths around the outside wall. The curtains and the colours are new, but Albert's is still stamped all over this restaurant. The menu is varied, with lots of dishes I have only seen rarely. We ended up going for a selection of smaller plates and appetizers, all vegetarian, as that his how my friend rolls. We ordered: Vegetarian Momo's (a type of Nepali dumpling) Paneer Pakoras Samosas Cauliflower 65 All of the dishes were generous in portion and in flavour. The Momos were something I had not tried before, but will definitely order again, as there are several types. The Paneer Pakora was not my favourite iteration of this dish, but we did not leave any behind. The Samosas were the biggest I have ever seen, and were chock full of good things. An order of these would be a meal for one. The Cauliflower 65 was amazing, full of flavour and spice. I have had "65" chicken in a few places, and the sauce is so rich and delicious, whatever you put it on is a minor detail. The service was very good, and the restaurant was not crowded. From the lineup of Skip drivers I can only assume they do most of their business to go. (other reviews here would back that up.) I will certainly be back to unleash my inner carnivore on other parts of the menu. I am a little excited to try the Goat Biriyani... Food: 5 Restuarant: 3 ( a tad dingy, but clean) Service: 4.5 (Busy, but we never felt neglected.) If you are in the North End, craving Indian, I highly recommend Swagat. Nice people turning out truly excellent food. Eat here. read more

So we decided to do some take out from a small business and we were so glad we randomly pcked this place. We picked a variety of food. One kathmandu chicken momo, 1 shrimp haaka noodles, 1 butter chicken, 1 palak paneer, 1 allo gobhi, and 1 veggie momo. All was good, but two stood out - the butter chicken and the chicken momos. Probably the best butter chicken I have had in Edmonton. Spice mixture was amazing. Chicken momos were moist and flavourful and loved the dipping sauce they came in, Everything else was good and by the end of the next day we had no leftovers. Kids loved the haaka noodles. I loved that I could customize each dish frrom spicy or not. I will be eating here again. read more

This review is based on food alone, we did not dine in. I would honestly give it a 4.5, boyfriend gives it a 4. It was a SURPRISINGLY delicious Indian restaurant in a surprisingly shady area. Definitely a hidden gem. Indian takeout is one of our favourites, and this is probably top of our list now! The one downfall was that we asked for "EXTRA EXTRA SPICY PLEASE!!!" in the order comments and it was, as the brown boyfriend says, "white people spicy". I thought it was a decent level of heat for me. We had the lamb curry... the meat was sooo tender and not too fatty. Boyfriend said melt in your mouth.... It was spiced so well and just overall a high quality meat. Sometimes lamb from Indian places seems like cheap cuts of meat and fatty... Not here. Very very good. Boyfriend would have preferred it to be cut into bite sized chunks instead of such huge pieces, but that's not a huge deal. The saag chicken was awesome. Super delish. The meat, again, high quality and large chunks of chicken. Not skimpy at all. And lastly, the daal makhni. Daal makhni is my go-to ALWAYS order from EVERY Indian place dish. And I have to say this was the best daal makhni in Edmonton. It was sooooo goooooooood. I am so stoked to have leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Portion sizes were ok for the price, but quality was definitely good. I can definitely say we will order from here again, and will choose it before we choose our previous go-to.... even though it's a little further of a drive! I hope they'll believe us next time we say EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA SPICY. read more

Best Momo in the city! Ok so I've only tried one other place... but this place is a hundred times better. The hockey game (memorial semi final with Hamilton and Sha) was playing while I sat and waited for my order. Staff are polite and give you an estimated wait time. My mouth waters in anticipation as I wait. Every time I drive by, I try to get in--which is not that often-- (wrong side of town to be convenient). read more

I used to live down the street from Swagat, and indulged there numerous times always with a new dish. It was always delicious, freshly prepared, and ample food for the price. When you eat here plan to have leftovers. Highly recommend the Kadi Pakora. read more

I had my meal delivered and I was very pleased that they packed everything in strong paper bags instead of plastic bags. As for food, this is my go-to take out place. Its affordable and everything I have ordered thus far has always tasted delicious, fresh, and filling. read more

This place really surprised me. It's one of the best Indian I've had, ever. The goat curry had a ton of meat and the gravy was so flavourful and well balanced. Vegetable Korma was delicious. The chilli chicken was so good! We ordered from Skip the first time and picked up an order the same week because we had to have more. Second time I ordered chicken samosas, hands down the best samosas. This is my new spot. read more

We ordered off skip the dishes for the first time tonight. We got the paneer pakora(it's sooo delicious, has some kind of spicy flavour in the middle), vege momo (also delish!), paneer makhani(like a veg butter chicken, so good!), Dal makhani(yum), and kadi pakora(didn't love because of the cilantro). The naan was very fresh. Very good experience for our first try! Definitely recommend. read more
