" During my visit to Swad, I found some outstanding dishes, particularly the Palak Paneer and the Chicken Biryani. The highlight was undoubtedly the Biryani; it boiled with rich spices and the chicken was incredibly tender. The atmosphere was vibrant yet cozy, making it an ideal spot for dining with loved ones. Although I expected a bit more from the service, as our orders took a while, the delicious meal compensated for the wait. I will definitely recommend Swad to friends and family for their exceptional culinary offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful dinner at Swad! I thoroughly enjoyed their Dal Makhani, which was creamy, rich, and incredibly flavorful. The Naan was perfect – soft and warm. The restaurant has a glowing vibe, accentuated by warm lighting that makes the place cozy and welcoming. The staff were very engaging and took good care of our table. If there's one thing I noticed, it was that the tables were a bit close together, but it didn't detract much from our enjoyment. Overall, a very rewarding experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was left a bit disappointed after my experience at Swad Indian Kitchen. While the environment was pleasant, the food lacked that distinctive flavor I hoped for. The samosas were good, but they missed the authenticity that I value in Indian cuisine. Service was polite, yet a bit slow for the evening rush. I had the Butter Chicken, and it tasted more like a sweeter version than the traditional creaminess I’m used to. Could be worth another visit, but my experience could have been better overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" We went as a family to celebrate a special occasion at Swad Indian Kitchen. The environment was inviting with beautifully arranged decor. The food, mainly vegetarian, was delectable and flavored well; especially noteworthy was the Aloo Gobhi that truly reminded me of home-cooked meals. The only downside was the wait for our food, which felt longer than expected, but the waitress kept us updated on the status of our dishes. Overall, I would recommend Swad to anyone seeking authentic Indian cuisine in a charming setting. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I recently visited Swad Indian Kitchen for a birthday celebration, and it was an incredible experience! The restaurant has an intimate atmosphere, perfect for special occasions. We shared multiple dishes including the Chicken Tikka Masala and the popular Dal Makhani, which were both rich and satisfying. The ambiance is cozy with lovely decor that makes it feel upscale yet welcoming. Our server was very attentive and made excellent recommendations, ensuring we had everything we needed. The only downside was the portion sizes; slightly smaller than expected, but the quality was exceptional. Will definitely be returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" I noticed that the overall experience at Swad has some room for improvement. While the food quality was good, and I thoroughly enjoyed the Lamb Curry, the service was slower than expected. The server was polite, but the wait for our appetizers felt quite long. However, the food itself was well prepared and tasted authentic, which elevated the experience. The restaurant is aesthetically pleasing too, making for a pleasant atmosphere. If the service speed is improved, I could see myself coming back frequently when craving good Indian food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an amazing experience at Swad Indian Kitchen! Everything from the service to the food was top-notch. The vegetable samosas were crispy and full of flavor, and for the main course, I enjoyed the Chicken Vindaloo, which packed a delightful punch! The ambience was also great – a perfect mix of elegance and comfort. The wait staff was very attentive—great restaurant for family gatherings or intimate dinners. The only downside? I wish the dessert menu had more options! Will definitely be returning soon. " (*Curated Review*)
