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.
I just entered in the restaurant 11:55. They told me the restaurant was closed. I asked at what time they open & the answer was at 12:00. So I said I will wait sit & wait. Ahe yhen came to me & ask if I was alone, so I said Yes! She started express tgat this was a problem... So I just said OK bye! I guess its a matter of time before they close since they dont want to serve customers
Awesome experience at Le Swaad. Every item is flavourful & rich in taste combined with the cheerful staff who caters to the spice level asked. Would keep definitely ordering & coming to the restaurant in future. Thanks to team Swaad for bringing it to the South shore.
Repas absolument délicieux. Tout était frais. Nous avons adoré & nous allons y retourner assurément.
Les toilettes sont très propres aussi.
Le niveau de piquant est indiqué sur le menu. J'ai pris le combo à l'agneau & c'était une portion relativement généreuse de riz, de naan & de viande & sauce.
Attention, le staff ne parle pas français, cela pourrait potentiellement être un enjeux pour des allergies alimentaires.

I loved everything about this place because 1. You could choose the level of spice in your food & there were many choices.
2. The service was extraordinary the food came fast & when we ask for extra napkins they gave it to us fast.
3. The atmosphere was calming with the nice Christmas decorations.
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
It was a disappointing experience. We had a private party & we walked into tables & chairs not per no of people, we were served on paper plates & plastic utensils! No sight of 1 server to help clear tables.. They would just dump the food & leave. In all the restaurants, some with lesser ratings, have we experienced this type of service. Please do not book this place for private parties!!! You will be awfully disappointed & ashamed in front of your guests!!

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.
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.
We came here for dinner with my boyfriend, & everything was excellent. The staff were incredibly friendly, the food was amazing, & the place has a great atmosphere. Highly recommended!
