“ Excellent, wholly authentic South Asian cuisine. Having lived in the area (Malaysia, East Pakistan), I know this food pretty well, and I love it, although it's hard to find anywhere here that will season up to my standards. South Asian restauranteurs just can't seem to believe in Western abilities to handle hot food--in all fairness, probably based on generally confirming experience. The service was impeccably attentive, the ambiance necessarily crowded-feeling, but certainly not to the point of becoming stifling. Swagat rules! ”
“ We ordered the chicken tikka masala and the mango chicken and wow!! It was so good! We left happy and full after eating lunch there. The server was attentive and it felt clean inside the restaurant. ”
“ Good food, polite staff, I had the potato Samosa, it was very good, the tamarind sauce that it came with was also very good. Their poori and Naan breads are excellent. Crispy cauliflower is hit or miss. I also like the tandoori mixed grill and chicken Korma from this restaurant. I do need to come here to eat one day, The delivery service was prompt ”
“ I went to to grab dinner at Swagat in July 2023 so we could seat outside. The staff could be a bit more polite, I feel they were a bit pushy and then hard to find. However, the food is quite good and for a very reasonable price for this area. We had the SAMOSA CHAAT, LAB PASANDA, GARLIC NAAN, MANGO LASSI for two, which was perfect amount. I would recommend it if you feel like having indian food and are around. ESPAÑOL: Fui a cenar a Swagat en July 2023 y pudimos sentarnos fuera. El personal podría ser un poco más amable, me dio la impresión de que eran un poco impacientes poniendo un poco de presión a la hora de pedir. Sin embargo la comida estaba bastante buena y por un precio muy razonable para la zona. Tomamos las SAMOSA CHAAT, LAB PASANDA, GARLIC NAAN, MANGO LASSI para dos personas, la cantidad perfecta. Lo recomendaría si estás en la zona y te apetece comida india. ”
“ Awesome place! Delicious food and nice service. Small seating space but they were able to accommodate us (group of 5). They have great lunch/brunch specials. We had chicken korma, butter chicken, papadam, and samosa chat. The samosa chat was absolutely delicious! So was the korma. Wish we lived locally, but we were just visiting for the week! ”
“ We were in NYC for the weekend for a show at the Beacon Theater. Swagat is just a short walk from there. Food and Service were excellent. Small place. They seem to do a very good take out business as food couriers were in and out often. The Vindaloo was excellent but the naan bread was killer. A must go. ”
“ When I first moved to the city nearly a decade ago, we used to love Swagat for a comfort food meal. I haven't been there since, but we decided to go this past week when we were back in the neighborhood. It was just as good as I remembered, plus it wasn't hard to get a reservation on somewhat-short notice. We had: ALOO PAPRI CHAT: I always enjoy this, and Swagat's is no exception. It isn't my favorite papri chat that I've ever had, but it's a great option to start your meal. PANEER TIKKA MASALA: Um, yum. The sauce was the perfect consistency, perfect amount of spice and depth, and plentiful. VINDALOO: I tried a little of this; although it was way too hot for me (some others at my table asked for this to be made REALLY hot), the flavor here was great. NAAN: Standard; delicious. GULAB JAMUN: Can't have a meal like this without some gulab jamun at the end! These are always good- no complaints. All in all, Swagat is a tad on the expense side, but I think it's worth it for what you get. Plus the staff is always friendly. Next time, I won't wait 10 years to come back! ”
