The best Indian restaurant in south shore. I ordered the Ghee roast biryani, roti & chettinadu chicken curry a few days ago & it was absolutely mind boggling. I am very grateful to the owner for his generosity. When there was Ganpati festival, he organized an event for all the Indians to celebrate & offered free food to a lot people. Thank you sir 🙏 I have been ordering from here & I hope a lot of people will enjoy the food too.
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
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.
As a South Indian, the masala dosa was top-notch. The paneer biryani came with enough gravy for two people, & at $15, it was totally worth it-no extra gravy needed which saved us 15 more dollars.

Not sure what the bad reviews are about-our experience was excellent! We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Le Swaad. The curries were rich & flavorful, the biryani had just the right amount of spice, & everything was served hot & fresh.
Highlights from our meal: Biryani de Mouton Rôti au Chon - extra spicy & absolutely delicious
I just discovered it it's amazing! I always get amazing services & good portions. Usually i like biryani but this one omg its out of this world it's the best in Canada
We went there for the first time & were quite happy. We ordered the Raja Rani Chicken, mutton Biryani, Chicken Biryani, Dragon Chicken, & dosa vada combo. While the mutton Biryani was bland, the rest was quite good & flavourful.
The service was slow. The dragon chicken took 40 minutes to come with us reminding them twice. There were only 2 waitresses & they were doing their best but were overwhelmed.
The restaurant is clean & spacious. Will definitely go back.
Best Biryani in Montreal. We tried Narmada Biryani & it was delicious & the service is very good & fast. Payal is very helpful.. ambience is also good . Highly recommended this place.
Perfect for family gatherings. Yesterday we ordered swaad special chicken biryani it was really good also the garlic naan with dal makhni unlike other indian restaurants was way better. Service was good also. We will definitely come back
Great experience at Le Swaad !
We ordered the mutton biryani - it was flavorful & satisfying.
The garlic bread & butter naan were especially impressive: soft, fresh, & super tasty.
We also tried the samosa chaat, which was quite good.
Overall, a very pleasant dining experience. Would definitely come back!

Nous avons eu une expérience très agréable chez Swaad. Nous sommes rendus un samedi après 14h30 après l'heure normale de dîner mais l'hôtesse nous a bien acceuilli & nous a donné une table vite. Les repas aussi étaient servi vite après nous avons fait le commande. Le goût de chaque repas était bon. Les kebabs, le naan, le biryani. Nous étions vraiment satisfait.
This Indian restaurant offers great vegetarian options that truly stand out. The ghee roast biryani is a must try perfectly spiced & full of flavor. The baby mushroom appetizer is delightful, with a unique blend of taste. Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving flavorful vegetarian dishes. Must try for people craving spicy food.
Ate at this brand new Indian Restaurant on Nov.8th, 2024 in Greenfield Park. They still didn't have their liquor license & the decor /ambiance was not inviting yet BUT the food was very tasty & not oily or heavily seasoned. I think other Indian restaurants in the area will be having competition. The mango dahl was very tasty but the mango skin was hard & not soft enough. The garlic naan was great as well as the Lamb Biryani. I will be going back to do a take out till they get the restaurant up & running with good ambiance.
