“ Best northern Indian food in Indian square. It is BYOB and the portion sizes are generous. The service is also great. ”
“ Very tasty authentic North Indian & Indian Chinese food. This place hits the right cord with taste, less oil and generous portion size. Their Dal makhani, paneer veggies , haaka noodles, veg Manchurian are simply delicious. Their food is truly magical and I would rate it as best Indian restaurant in jsq area ”
“ I ordered 4 things - Swadist Papri Chaat - this was delicious, flavorful, and fun to eat - Chicken Bhuna - this one is spicy (so my dad couldn't enjoy it) - Jhinga Masala - we liked this one (shrimp) and it was the perfect consistency for dipping the garlic naan - Garlic naan I'm especially interested in coming back for their weekend lunch buffet! ”
“ We love this place. We ordered from them multiple times and we would definitely go back again. We loved the chicken tikka masala and we got the mango lassi. We would order from this place as well. We did think the portions are better when ordering delivery but other than that, food was great, service was good, and the place was very clean. ”
“ Located in Indian Square. It's a northern Indian restaurant in Jersey City, NJ, just a 5-minute walk from the PATH station. The service is excellent. Meter Parking is on the street, but free street parking is available a bit further away if you know the area. Highly recommend just taking public transportation to avoid the headache. The waiters and staff are friendly and another great perk? It's BYOB! We chose the buffet option and every single dish was tasty and fresh. . Even the dessert was so good I wanted to keep eating, but got so full too quick! My favorite dish was the goat hands down. ”
“ We were in the mood for Indian and decided to order from Swadist for the first time. Sometimes you just have a craving for chicken tikka masala.... And this did not disappoint. It was one of the best chicken tikka masalas I've ever had. Moist chicken, complex flavor, slightly sweet - and a huge portion. We also ordered biryani that was verrry spicy. There's no option to order it "mild" when ordering, I wonder if that's possible. Will definitely make this our go to Indian delivery! ”
“ We go here for their weekend buffet. It's a good deal, the food is always tasty with a good variety. One of the best Indian restaurants in the area IMO. Some things at the buffet can be a hit or miss, but for the most part, their stews and Coriander soup always impress us. ”
“ I came to this restaurant twice. One time I came during a weekday so they didn't have buffet. I ordered mango lassi and tikka masala. The mango lassi was delicious. Tikka masala was amazingly delicious. It could be one of the best tikka masala that I had. It was extremely creamy and flavorful. I highly recommend this dish! The service that day was okay. There was one server and she didn't really check up on us. The buffet on the weekend was great! I came with a total of 7 adults. It was $20 per person for all you can eat. The servers were nice and checked up on us. There were a variety of food. There's rice, soup, many chicken dishes, butter naan, desserts, salad, and fruits. Food was really good! There are many seatings and it quite bright inside. I will be coming back for the food! ”
“ Finally got a chance, and courage, to go an visit them for lunch. We've been trying to go a couple time before. Got there during their lunch time. Only one there for a while. I've always heard they were good place to go around the area and glad we did. We ordered the lamb briyani, chicken tikka marsala, butter naan. Chicken tikka marsala came out first with the naan. Then the lamb briyani. All were hot. The briyani had a bread topping. The marsala was sweet and well made. The briyani was interesting but also well made. We asked for 0 spice but it was still a bit too much for me. The service was good. The space is large and clean but can do with a bit of lighting help. A lot of food delivery orders in and out, which is a good sign. Overall Swadist gets a recommendation. We will go again for the buffet. ”
“ Food (4/5): We ordered the Tikka masala and the mango lassi. The Tikka masala was quite flavorful and the mango lassi was a good consistency but more tangy than sweet. Rice came with the Tikka Masala and was flavorful too. Service (3/5): Got menus but then took almost 15 minutes for someone to take our order. One server seemed to be deep in conversation with another party and not working. Meanwhile, the other seemed to be taking a bunch of phone calls. We tried to get their attention but they seemed too focused. The food fortunately came out reasonably fast. The servers seemed busy with others or the phone but got better later on. Ambiance (4/5): Well decorated restaurant with plenty of seating. The wallpaper and art of the walls look nice. ”
