We had the butter chicken combo (including biryani rice & butter naan), chana masala & paneer curry. Everything was warm & tasty. Portions were generous.
What I found wonderful is that the 3 dishes we took had a similar looking sauce but all were tasting very different in a very good way.
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.

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.
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

Food was amazing, tried their'Special for the day' south Indian Vada & dosa which was very fresh & crisp. Flavours & aroma were great specially the butter chicken & their soup.
Only one thing was missing,'Sirka payaz' or might be little onion salad with the meal.
Visited on a whim only to discover that we may have stumbled upon a local gem.
Le Swaad is the ideal destination for a heart-warmingly indulgent Indian meal to combat the cold seasons, all at excellent prices that won't break the wallet. Every bite left me salivating in anticipation for more.
The food is simply delicious with each dish a flavor bomb that reflects a perfectly balanced use of spices without leaving the dish spicy. The butter chicken was rich & decadent with its thick gravy bursting with aroma & chicken still tender & moist. The palak paneer creamy, earthy & fragrant. The kaju ghee roast mushrooms packed a punch of flavor with a warmth that softly lingers.
The service was accommodating. The staff were very nice & also showed us the ideal way to order for saving money & getting the best bang for your buck. We felt well taken care of.
Overall, we had a wonderful experience. Le Swaad delivered on the quality of the food, the service, & the overall atmosphere for dining.
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.

It was wonderful experience here, we really enjoyed the food & the service was very good & we came back for butter chicken but this time it was totally different, i hope they will change their recipe.
'Swad offers a delightful taste of India. The butter chicken is rich & flavorful, & the garlic naan is a must-try. The atmosphere is inviting, & the service is attentive. Overall, a great spot for Indian cuisine.'
Bhavna is very helpful & introduced me to so many mouthwatering dishes . Loved it
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
Unacceptable Food Quality - Fix This or Shut Down!
Dear [Swaad restaurant 👎👎],
I've been a loyal customer, but **this was the worst experience ever!** The naan was **raw & burnt**-how is that even possible?! The butter chicken was **mediocre at best**. Is this how you treat regulars? **Either improve immediately or just close your kitchen**-because this was an embarrassment.
The food was very tasty. We love the Poulet 65, butter chicken combo, briyani Moghol au poulet & of course the dessert Rousgoulah & Rasmalai. My son who is seven years old, also appreciate the food. Thank you 😊 🙏.
