had a work team lunch here. they had an outside tent setup for dining. parking was available but I could see it being a challenge during dinner hours. service was excellent with the server suggesting items since it was our first time there. we got multiple items for the table on recommendation of our server and all we spot on delicious! we all took a box to go. I enjoyed my leftovers for dinner with my GF and will be visiting here again in the future.

Heads up! they are not open at all for dining, only take out. I got the paneer tikka masala and there was very little paneer and loads of sauce which is disappointing for the price. Flavor wise the tikka masala was ok, a little less flavorful than I like but still pretty good. The garlic naan was quite tough like it wasn’t fresh. The samosas were quite tasty. Overall there are too many good Indian places in this area to spend my money here again.

We ordered spicy tika masala however they just put a whole lot of chili powder and the flavor of the tika masala was gone. All we could taste was the flavor of the chili powder and this other flavor that I could describe as powdery. The tika kaba was not good and the texture of the chicken was equivalent to frozen or microwaves chicken. The rice was ok. The best thing was the naan and the samosa. The table cloth had dried food marks and was not cleaned. The plates were chipped and the water that was served had pieces/crumbs in it. The bathroom was unavailable and they told us that when we arrived to the restaurant however from reading other reviews about this place I see that the restroom was unavailable for them as well and those reviews were from months ago. Oh and the tika masala we order that tasted like straight chili powder, we ask to get another order of the tika masala without any spice. It tasted ok. This place is not a great Indian food place. All these good reviews definitely made me want to go there but I was dooped out of $73. Places like Pakwan are on a whole different level compared to this place regarding Indian food. Anyone who has eaten here should go try pakwan and see the difference. Pakwan is wayyyyyyyyyyy better.

Have only ordered for pick up twice.I did an uber eats search for Indian and decided to give it a go.My mom loves Indian food but it tends to usually give her indigestion. Thankfully Swaad does not.It's so yummy!

Great Indian food with very attentive staff. Food is consistently good. Clean environment. Love it. Happy was our wonderful host.

Wish I could sit inside and eat, but we can't so, just know - the food is amazing and its even amazing for "Take Out" -- oh and make sure to get a Mango Lassi!!! 5 stars all around (CONSISTENTLY DELICIOUS EVERY TIME)

everything was old . I wouldn’t recommend this to any of my peeps. My peeps they sold me old samomas and old naan .I don’t know why they thought that was ok ? On the samosas you can see that they were gray and gross. It killed my entire meal . I’m still disgusted (literally). Even more disgusted that I spent 25+ Tip for a bag of trash . My reviews are rare. Dont sell trash to hungry customers . thieves!

This place is an option for you, If you don't mind being treated rudely for average food. I ordered food online for pickup and opted to pay by card at the restaurant. At the pickup, bill amount was higher than what was sent to my email. I enquired about price inconsistency and all I was expecting was an apology with an excuse that online prices are being fixed. Instead, the person attending pickups bluntly tells me to leave if I don't want the food. I would have gladly left for another restaurant had I not spent 30 mins driving to the place on a weekday. After arguing for couple of mins (he thinks it is my responsibility to get the online prices fixed), when I gave my card to pay, for an unknown reason he refuses to take it and says I can have the food for free!!!! I am certainly not complaining about the free food I got but the restaurant should hire more sensible people to provide service

I ordered Garlic naan, chicken Korma, Murg biriyani. Delivery was quick.Garlic naan - not so goodChicken Korma - the gravy was not thick and taste was not like a chicken KormaMurg biryani - this cannot be considered as biriyani at all
