I always thought biryani came in like... three types. But apparently, South Indians, especially Hyderabadis have unlocked the secret biryani multiverse. So many, they are probably, more or less, the same. If you're confused, just go for the standard dum biryani.The food? Pretty good. Tandoori items are solid. My paratha showed up so late and rock-hard, nearly inedible. Be sure to inform the staff you would like your bread to arrive simultaneously with the entree. Solid place overall, in a part of town that is lacking in quality ethnic food. You will like it, especially if you have a biryani fetish.

I miss the previous restaurant food (Indian Fushion) - it was far more delicious. While food was okay, it wasn't as good when compared to buffet food this restaurant had to offer with prior ownership.Chicken appetizer was suggested by the staff and it tasted good. Tandoori roti was okay.Hyderabady chicken curry was good. However pulao (white pulao suggested by the staff) was a total disaster - it had fried chicken pieces!! Mango lassi was perhaps spoiled because it gave my toddler a stomach bug.

Had lunch from their special lunch menu . Attentive service, and comfortable atmosphere. I had chicken korma and my dining mate had chicken tikka masala. With this we got a samosa appetizer, naan, rice and gulabjamun for dessert. Chai tea a small cup was extra at $2.99 a cup. I asked for mild korma but it still was to spicey for me. The samosa also spicey for my taste but not for my dining mate.Everthing was basically good even though some chicken pieces in my korma were a bit tough and not as tender as one would expect. I certainly would return and try something different from the regular menu.

They rebranded and the food is still basically the same. I will always love Indian food and the flavors. I do prefer more street style Indian food but this is still a very good spot. Will be back for sure

While the food from Swadeshi Adda is good, the wait time when placing and picking up to go orders is abysmal. The two times we have placed pick-up orders from here, the order wasn't close to being done by the given time. Good food doesn't excuse bad service, especially when both times the orders were placed on non busy days. Today was a day to give them another chance and it was their last shot. We will not be back.

Excellent food and drinks. Cocktails were surprisingly innovative and quite good. Had samosas, chicken biriyani, chicken tikka masala, and garlic and cheese naan. Definitely would recommend. You all need to have some patience as this is a new operation. Drinks were a little slow to make it to the table but worth the wait. Will return. Chef-owner is committed to provide an outstanding meal with unique takes on dishes that make it stand out amongst competing Indian restaurants. This is not a buffet type place.

My family and I absolutely loved the food. We had Pomfret Fish Fry, Loose Chili Prawns, Dhaba Style Chicken with Bullet Naans, and Mutton Fry Biryani. Every single item was cooked with perfection and served with authentic flavor. It was hands down the best Indian dining experience we've had in the US.

This is one of Charlotte's newest Indian restaurants and it's a MUST visit spot. The food was fantastic and ranks head and shoulders above the fare you get at typical Indian restaurants in town. The naan was superb. Their Malabar Parotta (layered bread) was outstanding (apparently it's made in-house - which is a rarity for that dish given how hard it is to get it right). The paneer tikka was awesome and the curry lead cauliflower was finger licking good. The mango lassi was spectacular .. fresh, creamy and thick. Not the watered down stuff you get at some other places. Kalyan was super attentive and friendly. Give them a try and you won't be disappointed. They are a new restaurant and give them some grace on the waiting time side of things. All in all, a fantastic add to Charlotte's culinary scene.

A small group from our office went last week. It was awesome! Great flavor! We tried the mutton sukka, sheek kabob, Chana saag, onion kulchur, chicken byrini. All were excellent and the spice levels were on point! Looking forward to going back!
