Swagat Indian Food and Grocery

I love this place!! I make sure to visit every time I am in the area. As a lover of Indian street food and dosa, this place hits the spot every time. I have to make sure to come on an empty stomach because the food is so delicious and filling (and the menu has a great variety so I always find myself trying different foods). The menu is varied and changes slightly daily. It is a bit of a lowkey spot, and has the nicest owners! They are so accommodating, nice, and helpful. Every time I have come here I am met with gracious hospitality. The pani puri is a classic - note that it is served with peas rather than potato. But it's still delicious, it has a tasty tomato daal flavor that pairs well with the pani puri water and onions. The pani puri was great and I can be obnoxious about how I like my pani puri. The paneer tikka hot dogs are also a MUST TRY!! They are so good and flavorful, especially nice and hot. Not too much cheese and a nice, satisfying, soft bread pull. We also wanted to try the mirchi bhaji (fried pepper with toppings like roasted peanuts and chopped red onion) so they kindly gave us one. Finally had the delicious Gadbad ice cream, which I always make sure to get. It is ice cream with fruits and nuts and makes for the perfect finish to your meal.

I'm not even sure How I can describe how terrible this dining experience was. Being a fan of South Indian food, although not being from the South Indian states, is what led me to this place And I also love to support local businesses. I don't even think I could call this a legit business. Seems more like a bootleg operation. The owner, while very nice, has no clue how to run a restaurant. This is essentially a converted office and will be difficult to find. The entrance is in the back. There was no attempt made to renovate the interior so that it could have any kind of semblance of a true dining experience or even a fast food establishment.The menu is not printed. Rather it is on the owners WhatsApp messages. Refer to picture which I had to take in order to review the menu at the behest of the owner. Noted that there is a lack of pricing unless you ask him directly what things cost. Also there are no pictures of the menu or any description of the size.What we ended consuming were masala doses which came with a coconut poppy seed chutney as well as Idli.The Idlis themselves were okay. However they also came with sambar which is the traditional South Indian soup. This soup was something I normally look forward to and one of the main reasons I come to South Indian restaurants. In a word it was terrible. It's pre-made which I don't necessarily have a problem with however the ingredients are lacking. It has no flavor and is very thin. It also came with a ton of cilantro which I'd asked if they could make without but apparently because it is pre-made there is no way to avoid this. Regardless, the quality of the actual soup was bad. In fact we threw a bowl of it away because none of us enjoyed it.The dosa itself was actually not bad however it was severely underfilled. Usually after eating one of those I have no room for anything else because it's filled with the lovely stuffing of potato onion and peas. This had no peas and was severely underfilled.This is a very bare-boned operation. And the service is reflective of that. There is one bathroom and it is labeled employees only. When we were served we did not get any cutlery and had to request it on multiple times. I got a paper towel along with a spoon. Nothing else. The other two diners got a fork and a spoon as well as a paper towel. The paper towel was a half ply. And because there were three of us they gave us three half plies of paper towel. I wish I could make up this story but it is really quite ridiculous. On top of that the dining table itself which I picked was filthy. I asked the owner to wipe it off and he obliged but that is completely unacceptable in a dining establishment which was not crowded at all. This is something that should be maintained. Also we did not get any water from the tap. It wasn't even offered. If one wants to consume water, you would have to buy a bottle from them. Again, very bizarre and I suspect there's something wrong with their drinking water if they're not able to even offer tap water.Parking is in the back and that is free.I'm not sure how long this establishment will be around but I wouldn't be surprised if they went out of business, soon.

We are truly impressed. The owners are phenomenal. Accommodating, friendly, and the food is superb!!!! Flavor, flavor, flavor ....and we are NOT vegetarian. Although this cuisine is fabulous!! We loved every dish we ate! A must try for all u foodies out there!

The food here is beyond incredible!! I am visiting from LA and I have been raised on authentic Indian food. I have to say this passes on all scores - freshness, taste and great service. I can't wait to try the food again and the owner Nagendra was great. Definitely try this place out if you are in town and you won't be disappointed.

Great little place! Indian grocery store and restaurant. Somewhat hurdles finding the driveway , parking and a spot to sit (tricky on friday afternoons due to the "Thali Lunch") . The food itself is vegetarian south indian cusine and as authentic as it gets at that. The owner, Mr. Nagendra, is always up for conversation and eager to help navigate the store and/or the menu. Easy recommendation

He is so over priced compare to the ambience of the place. Quantity is very limited while gis prices goes up exponentially.

I have been to this restaurant few times and we have ordered food from there 3 or 4 time for birthday parties and other occasions. Food has been consistently good and we definitely look forward to go there -when we are in the area. It is a very small lowkey place with very good food.

Amazing South Indian food. Tastes like home cooked. We went their as a group and the owner was so kind and accommodating in helping us pick the right items. Everyone of them tasted awesome.

If you are looking for Authentic Indian Food , this is the place .You just name the food and they have it . The food was so yummy and fresh because everything was made from scratch . Highly recommend this place . Dont forget to try their out of the world GADBAD ICECREAM .
