The Indian food here is excellent. I'd rate this restaurant in the top 3 in Montreal. The flavour is southern Indian & the dishes are cooked with quality ingredients & technique unlike the mass produced stuff you get elsewhere. Many restaurants short change you with fake basmati rice or canned spinach in the Palak dishes, but not here. Here it is authentic & I hope it remains so. Also, unlike most Indian restaurants, they have made an attempt to create a cosy, inviting vibe. Portions are good & prices are reasonable for the quality. The service is unfortunately not great at all. The corner cutting with no paper towels in the bathroom (a brown paper roll left there is the only option) & having to pay at the counter instead of at the table are areas of improvement, besides the lacklustre service. Overall, a good option in Montreal for authentic Indian fare.
Was out looking for a bite to eat in Brossard & stumbled on The Swaad so we gave it a try. I have to give credit where credit is due. Everything & I mean everything was succulent & delicious!!! My hat goes off to the chef whipping up that magic behind the scenes. The hostess/waitress was delightful & had knowledge of everything we ordered. She even blessed us…. well 1 half with a Mango lassi. Definitely will be back to The Swaad & definitely recommend giving it a try for authentic Indian cuisine. 10/10

Swaad Restaurant truly deserves appreciation🫡! Loungueli is lucky to have a restaurant like this. If you are a food lover & missing authentic back-home flavors, this place is a must-try. I absolutely loved the smoky flavor of the mutton ghee roast biryani - honestly, I haven't even tasted this kind of flavor in India. Truly blessed to have Swaad Restaurant here. Thanks to the team & staff for serving such flavorful & delicious food 💜💜🥰😋
We ordered dragon paneer, Hyderabad chicken gravy, paneer tikka masala, garlic naan, & tandoori roti. While the garlic naan & tandoori roti were excellent, the other dishes fell short of expectations. The paneer was tough & rubbery, & the chicken gravy was oversalted. Additionally, none of the items tasted authentically prepared, & considering the high prices, the overall experience was not worth the cost.
We had our engagement celebration at Swaad Restaurant, & everything was organized absolutely perfectly. From the planning to the execution, the team understood our vision & delivered exactly what we had imagined.
The food was awesome, flavorful, & loved by all our guests. A special highlight was the beautiful & delicious chaat corner. They respected all my requests & created a chaat setup with authentic, tasty chaat flavours that everyone enjoyed.
The staff was extremely polite, understanding, & supportive, which made the entire experience stress-free. A special mention to Chef Yashveer, who was amazingly cooperative & ensured everything was done to perfection.
We definitely recommend this place for hosting events, especially weddings & special occasions. Swaad Restaurant truly goes above & beyond to make your event memorable.
We recently organized my friend's wedding reception at Swaad for about 45 guests, & it was an absolutely wonderful experience. The food was delicious, & every dish was full of authentic flavor.
The staff were incredibly supportive & accommodating with all our requests. They even set up a special chaat corner along with other Indian starters, which was a big hit among our guests. We had people from different nationalities attending, & the team thoughtfully kept the spice level medium as requested, making sure everyone could enjoy the meal comfortably.
One thing we truly appreciated was that there were no restrictions on decorations. We were able to decorate the venue in a traditional Assamese style, which made the celebration feel very personal & special.
Overall, everything was well organized, the service was smooth, & the food quality was excellent. I would highly recommend Swaad for group events (20-40 pax) & special occasions!
We hosted our baby shower at The Swaad Indian Restaurant, & the experience was truly wonderful from start to finish.
The staff was incredibly welcoming, attentive, & supportive throughout the event. They made sure everything ran smoothly & that our guests felt comfortable & well taken care of. The food was absolutely delicious - full of authentic flavors, beautifully prepared, & enjoyed by everyone, including guests who were trying Indian cuisine for the first time. Rasmalai was so delicious.
The space worked perfectly for a celebration like a baby shower, creating a warm & joyful atmosphere for such a special occasion. Many of our guests complimented both the food & the service, which says a lot.
Thank you to the entire team for helping us create such a memorable day for our family. Highly recommend this place not just for dining, but also for special events & celebrations.
