Swagat Indian Cuisine serves both north and south Indian favorites but specializes in spicy southern cuisine both during its crowded power lunch buffet as well as during the more relaxed à la carte dinner. Usually, large groups can be found dining within the dark green and cherry wood interior, although Swagat also makes a fine place for a dinner date. Start with appetizers such as eggplant pakoras, vegetable or lamb samosas with an assortment of chutneys, or steamed rice cakes known as plate idli. Entrées include tandoori chicken or shrimp, biriyani dishes, a variety of curries and vegetable masala. For dessert, try mango kulfi ice cream with nuts. Beverages include the popular Indian Kingfisher beer or the more traditional lassi, a yogurt smoothie.
"We are fans of the authentic tandoori dishes, deep golden-red in color."
