Swagruha Fine Indian Cuisine

This spot is high on my list of places to eat inside the Nashville Farmers Market.I went with the samosas, veggie rice, chili chicken and the chicken tikka masala. This food here is amazing and the portions are generous. The veggie rice isn't spicy at all, which I'm thankful for because the rest of the meal had some heat! The chili chicken was sooo good, I could have eaten a bucket of this stuff. Deep flavors, tender chicken and good heat without the burn. The tikka masala was a classic choice and it did have a tiny bit of heat even though the meat had zero chilis next to it on the menu. The samosas here are huge and totally worth the money. You get two for about $5 and these could easily be a meal... well maybe a shareable appetizer? These are a great vegetarian option. Looking for some good Indian food for lunch? Don't sleep on Swagruha!

I visited the Nashville Farmers Market on a trip with some friends and family, I really enjoyed myself, we all went to the food court and it was a little overwhelming so many different options, a huge variety something for everyone in the group. This curry stand caught my attention the smell drew me in. The food was not cooked to order, which is normal for many 'food court' style places. I asked the server what she recommended, and she said Chicken Tikka Masala was definitely the best seller, and I went in wanting Butter Chicken. So I ordered the two curry meal. My cousin ordered the Dosa meal. Curry Meal: The curry flavors on both of my curry meals were beautifully spiced and more authentic than many restaurants I have been to. I purposefully picked milder curries, but sometimes when you sacrifice "hot spicy" it sacrifices the spices as well but not in this case, they were delicious. The only criticism I have is that due to the fact that they are all pre-cooked and then set in warming dishes, the chicken was overcooked, by the end of the meal, I just wanted the curry sauce and not the chicken. The Tikka Masala had green peppers in it and those had been overcooked as well but I didn't mind as much since they were saturated in the curry sauce. Also, the naan is good as it looks in the photo, they were so soft and chewy and went perfectly with the meal. The rice that came with the dish did have that texture of rice when it sits out on those warming dishes a little too long. Dosa Meal: The Dosa was delicious, crispy on the outside and so so flavorful. The dosa was quite spicy, not so much that I couldn't handle it but I was reaching for my water a couple of times while eating this. The only criticism I have on the Dosa was that it was dripping with oil, which again is most likely due to the fact that they are cooked previously and left to sit a little. Despite the oil it was still one of the best Dosas I've had. BONUS:(no picture) I took a bite out of my friend's goat curry, I was intrigued by the goat curry initially but I had my reservations, I believe the menu had it set to 3 spice peppers, and I was worried it'd be too spicy or it'd be gamey, I was definitely wrong. The goat was so tender, not gamey at all and the spice wasn't that bad! While I can't eat a lot of normal peppers like jalepeños and habañeros, I think that I can handle Indian spice better than other peppers, because I've eaten so much of it, but I didn't think it was that spicy. If I were to go again, I would definitely get the Goat Curry and Dosa. In the end, the way that the food is prepared and set out is noticeable but still recommend and would definitely go again! Give it a try and don't let the warming dishes keep you away!

I've been dining here for years and have to give a well deserved shout out to Swagruha. The quality of the food and taste is always on point but what sets them apart is the owner who really cares about giving good service along with great food.Don't be fooled by this tiny little stall. Some of the Indian restaurants in their brick n mortar buildings have nothing on her food quality! For $9.49 you get rice, 2 curries and naan. It used to be 2 meat curries before the pandemic but with rising food prices she kept the price low and offers 1 meat and 1 veggie curry. Her pricing is probably the best of all the food stalls in the Farmer's market as well as authentic and delicious!

Great "takeout" Indian food! Never had a bad experience here. The only thing I wish they offered was drinking water and not bottled for purchase.

The chicken rice and chili chicken were amazing!! The rice had great depth in flavor and tasted great even by itself. The butter chicken was very average however. It has a lot of cream which diluted the spices. The dosa was not super crispy but the flavors were spot on!

I come here usually twice a week if not more. The spice level is more authentic - I have been told by many Indian co-workers. I always get the same thing. Here's the trick: You first tell them whether you want it for here or to go. You have the option for chicken rice or vegetable rice. The chicken rice is more spicy. You then have the option of one meat and one non meat. If you want two meats that costs a little extra. You can only order a samosa if you purchase a meal. You can't buy a samosa on its own. In the meats, there are 4 main options. As a general rule, the darker coloured meats are going to be more spicy. So butter chicken and chicken tikka masala are going to be mildly flavoured as compared with the chicken curry and the goat curry. They also have a chicken Chili option. I've tried everything and it's so good! Same rule applies to the vegetable options vegetable curry and chickpeas are going to be spicier than the dal and paneer With all meals you get naan. Top tip: if you come ok Friday's you get treated to delicious onions that are fried. So so good.

Good but not amazing Indian food. Nashville - you don't know how good North Texas has it when it comes to Indian food. We had the curry plate with chicken masala and goat curry. The goat was supposed to be "very spicy" but was very mild in our opinion. Not even a tick on the "are you kidding me biryani heat" scale. But as a plus for authenticity the goat curry came complete with bones. The veg rice was good and saffron-flavored. The naan was perfectly grilled. All in all a serviceable stop if you're dying for Indian, though it will make you long for the really good stuff back home.

This was my last meal in Nashville. We hung out at the Farmers' Market for a couple hours prior to traveling to the airport. I was happy there were so many diverse food options at the Market and ultimately decided upon Swagruha because I hadn't tried any Indian cuisine while in Nashville.I ordered one of the Curry Meal lunches, which included one rice, one veggie, one meat curry, and naan bread for $8.49. You could add another meat choice for another dollar. I got the veggie rice, dal (lentils), and chicken Tikka Masala. I would have loved just a little more chicken; it was very flavorful. I am not used to so many other components in a dal dish such as large chunks of onion, not to say there is anything wrong with that, but the lentils were either very sparse or mushed. The rice tasted good but texturally there were many chunks dried together, and the naan bread was a bit dry as well.Friendly service though!I would try this food again, but maybe they could find a better way to keep their rice and naan from drying out.

All of the food I had on my plate all tasted so unique. Also, the husband and wife who own this business are so nice. Support local!

Unfortunately, the curries they offer (butter chicken, tikka masala, etc) are nothing like how the dish is intended. The attempts are not remotely close to what they are supposed to be. Avoid this place. There are much better options at the farmers market to choose from.
