We hosted our ring ceremony at Le Swaad, & it was a great experience overall.
Our guests genuinely loved the variety & flavors, & many of them complimented the dishes throughout the evening. The staff was cooperative & supportive, making sure everything ran smoothly during the event.
Thank you to the Le Swaad team for contributing to such a special day for us. We truly appreciate it & would definitely recommend it for hosting celebrations! 💍✨
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!
Amazing indian dishes , wonderful explanation of the varied dishes with great detailings, Payal took great care of asking the chef for precisions, chic environment, soft music, kids friendly. We had a great service with payal
I've been to Swaad many times with family. Their dishes have always been delicious & staffs have always been kind & helpful. We also had our daughter's 6 months & niece's birthday there. All the guests loved food & enjoyed the venue. It's one of the best place to have authentic Indian food with a soothing vibe in south shore.
The staff are friendly & the ambience is charming. While some dishes are enjoyable, others are average-this largely depends on personal taste. Overall, it's a good dining experience.

'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
Food was delicious. A little spicy for kids, but for us it was great. Some things that could be improved: Serving spoons with the dishes would be nice. Music a little loud at times. Indian music would be nice, rather than mainstream. Sweet corn soup was more like a sweet & sour soup. Thank you for the food!
First visit on a Saturday for lunch. It wasn't busy & we learned that they have only been open for about a month. I had the chettinadu lamb curry & was pleasantly surprised to find it came with roti. The lamb was very tender & the flavors were very good. The roti was good dipped in the curry. I ordered the paratha latcha (tandoori) to try as well & while taste was fine I don't think it fit the description on the menu as flaky. The lamb was just spicy enough (2 peppers) though if someone is not able to handle spice it might be considered a bit spicy. I also ordered the chai & it was very good. Perfect as is & didn't even need to add sugar though it was offered. I had the opportunity to try a few bites of the butter chicken & it was delicious. Not too oily & the flavors were perfect, a good choice for those who doesn't like spicy as well. The tikka masala was also good. Garlic naan was very good & went with the different curry dishes. Others at the table had the cheese naan & they were a bit overwhelmed with the amount of garlic (I was too full at this point to try). They have an extensive drink menu with non-alcoholic & alcohol options. There's certain dishes that are only available on the weekends as well so something to try for the next visit. The combos come with rice & naan. Overall, it was a great experience. Service was thoughtful & our server patiently assisted us with the menu. Happy to have a delicious option for Indian cuisine on the south shoren
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.
Today we ordered 3 dishes- chicken pakora, dragon chicken & Bhatti murg. BHATTI MURG was a big disappointment. It was very dry & had no flavour. Chicken pakora was very mind blowing, juicy, & flavourful. Dragon chicken was also good.
Best Indian restaurant around, from my experience its the best for Dhonne Biryani, Butter Chicken Biryani, Chicken Majestic, Ambur Mutton Biryani, & Batti Murg. They serve up the best of these dishes, & you're in for a treat! Enjoy your meal!
