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 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
La nourriture était vraiment très très excellente, rien à redire c'était parfait.
Cependant le service unilingue anglais est fâchant & décevant. Au moins quelques mots en français aurait été la base du respect.
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.
