Second time eating here, & I'm already looking forward for the next time! We always discover new delicious flavors every time we dine here. Also thanks to our waitress, Neha, helping us choosing our dishes. 10/10
It was our second time there because we were so impressed the first time. We tried different dishes this time & we are still as impressed. Flavors are very refined & portions are not too small.

I went on a Wednesday afternoon with my bf & the place was pretty quiet. We ordered the butter chicken combo, dragon chicken & a mango lassi drink. Everything was good & flavorful!! The butter chicken especially! I then ordered garlic naan afterwards which was amazing! Our waitress was also very nice😊
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 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! 💍✨
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.
We had an amazing experience at this Indian restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, full of flavor, & served fresh. The service was excellent-everyone was friendly, attentive, & welcoming. The atmosphere was warm & enjoyable, making our visit even better.
Highly recommended! We will definitely be coming back.
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
The space itself is striking-the walls are alive with beautiful hand-painted murals. We were served dish after dish of wonderful items that weren't afraid to bring the spice! Samosas that surprise you with how generously they're filled, curries layered with real spice & depth, every dish carrying the precision & warmth of home cooking elevated to something memorable.
A new menu launch pushes that spirit even further-bold flavors, confident seasoning, & a clear respect for authenticity without compromise. We loved our experience here.
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.
I went there with my mom & it was absolutely amazing! The food was incredibly fresh, flavorful, & the portions were generous. The prices are very reasonable, especially for the quality you get. On top of that, our server was so kind & attentive, which really made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!

The food tastes very great! We were a group of five & seated quickly on a Saturday night. We each got a different combo (Curry, rice, naan) & the food came after waiting a normal amount of time. The curries were creamy & flavorful, the naan breads were thin & soft for some, a bit too crispy for some others & the rice was nicely cooked & herbaceous. We were served water jugs as soon as we ask for some & even ice 🥶.
The waiters were very nice & welcoming. I felt comfortable requesting & requests I had. The waitress even recommended us to take a lesser level of spicy for a dish (We would've died).
The restaurant was lit nicely except for the area we were seated, there was a motion activated bright light that kept turning on & off, it wasn't too bad but it was enough to be noticed. There was also indian(?) music playing, pretty good music, not too loud, we were able to talk to each other comfortably. Also, go in the theater next door & watch Kpop Demon Hunter,'Free' &'What it sounds like' gang
Had a great meal at Swaad Goutdelinde - the food was full of flavor & really hit the spot. Big shoutout to Rishi & Bhavana for the warm, attentive service. They made the whole experience even better. Will definitely be back!

Dining at The Swaad was an absolute delight!
From the first bite to the last, every dish was bursting with authentic flavor - truly a treat for the taste buds. The ambiance was warm, subtle, & inviting, perfectly complemented by soothing music & elegant decor that made the experience even more memorable.
The staff? Exceptionally sweet & attentive, making you feel genuinely welcomed.
It's the kind of place you'll find yourself wanting to visit every week - & honestly, you should.
Highly recommended!
(The fragrance & taste will take you back to India🩷)
