The Swaad – Authentic Indian Cuisine in South Shore,At Swaad, we bring you the rich flavors of North and South Indian cuisine. Enjoy our extensive menu, featuring delicious curries, biryanis, tandoori dishes, and fresh naans.
Le Swaad is widely praised for authentic Indian flavors, generous portions, and a welcoming, family friendly atmosphere with a calming vibe and good value. Dishes such as butter chicken, biryani, paneer, dosa, naan, and various curries are repeatedly highlighted for richness, freshness, and balanced spice, with many customers appreciating the option to tailor heat levels. Service is consistently described as friendly, attentive, and helpful, though a few reviews note language barriers and occasional slower or inconsistent service. The restaurant is seen as a versatile spot for gatherings, takeout, or a casual dinner, with a striking interior and occasional menu variety that keeps guests returning. Minor criticisms include some dishes being too spicy for some diners, occasional mixups in orders or packaging, and suggestions to improve naan texture or lighting, but these do not overshadow the overall positive sentiment.
Appetizers - chicken with curry leaves, cauliflower with curry leaf were good. Apollo fish excellent. Main dish chicken curry tasted like it was made in a hurry.
Service was good.

This used to be our go to place. Now I don't know what happened, it's a hit or miss every time we order. Food quality has declined considerably. Chicken is not fresh most of the time. I miss the old Swaad.
I had an amazing experience. Great, friendly service. The food didn't take too long & it was delicious with big portions. I'll definitely be coming back.
We had a last-minute discussion about hosting a birthday party for a colleague. We contacted the restaurant & explained the details, & they provided a solution that perfectly met our expectations. The party went exactly as planned, & the food was delicious.
Thank you for the wonderful service.

Ordering regularly take out the food quality & the taste has considerably decline
Under cooked naan butter chicken tastes anything except indian food
Pan cooked biryani what a shame
You guys you really miss it
Wow. This Indian restaurant is a gem. Even as take-out, the food was incredible. Rich spices, perfectly cooked dishes, & big portions. You can taste the care in every bite. Highly recommend!
So, I will be fairly said that I never tried dine-in the restaurant, only did take out but atmosphere looks subtle. As, per food i will say all veg briyani especially, Narmada briyani is awsm & Ghee roast is little bit spicy for my platter but good for people who like too much spice. Quantity is great no question about it.also, service is great do talk to staff for pricing & accommodation. Moreover, their paneer keema briyani & narmada paneer briyani are really good.
My paneer biryani was delicious with just the right amount of pepper. The portions are large, too. The mango lassi was thick & rich. I would recommend this place to someone looking for good Indian food on the South Shore.
