The staff was attentive without being overbearing, and the food was absolutely delicious. Every dish had rich, layered flavors, and the presentation was thoughtful. It's the kind of place where you can relax over a casual dinner with friends and feel completely at ease, but it also carries a refined, almost elegant touch that makes it great for a more dressed-up night out as well. I spent about an hour and a half here, and it was the perfect pace -- never rushed, but not slow either. The environment has this chill, relaxed vibe that makes you want to linger, while still having enough polish to feel like a special occasion spot. I would definitely come back again, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Indian flavors in a comfortable yet slightly upscale setting.

Parking was a breeze since they had attached garages with validated parking. Pretty expensive restaurant with a brief menu and not-so-great ambiance for an expensive menu. I should appreciate that the decor was raw, like exposed pipes, unfinished wood furnishing, stainless steel vintage utensils, cooking ingredients, etc. Service was a tad slow. My order: Tamarindo Backyard Pakora Garlic Naan Paneer tikka masala Seasonal fruit lassi Loved the cocktail with the twist of tamarind to the whiskey! Backyard pakora was perfect with crispy batter on taro leaves. So I see where the fusion comes in. Garlic naan with paneer tikka was an instant hit, loved how great the tikka masala was! Seasonal fruit lassi was just a mango lassi but I felt it was fresh! Overall I would totally recommend this place.

My main was relatively simple, their mango chicken curry. The stew base was hearty and pretty generous with the chicken in both quantity and taste. The amount of heat was perfect, with enough delicious heat. My bowl of basmati rice was well grained and balanced the heat nicely. Oh and did I mention the fluffy, warm and buttery naan bread? It is worth making that your cheat meal! I'm holding off the fifth star because I want to check out a few other of their spicier plates. Glad to have this neighborhood gem nearby!

The sauce was rich, creamy, and downright flirtatious -- the kind of dish that makes you rethink every bland chicken you've ever met. Could the spice have gone up a notch? Sure. But honestly, I was too busy dunking naan like it was an Olympic sport to care. Ah, the naan. Warm, soft, unapologetically garlicky -- the kind that ensures you won't be kissing anyone for at least 24 hours, but you'll die smiling. Slightly soggy? Maybe. But let's call it "emotionally tender," because it matched my mood when I realized how good it was. And the appetizers? Crisp, golden little parcels of joy that crackled louder than my willpower. Each bite made me want to stand up and start narrating like David Attenborough: "Here we see the majestic samosa in its natural habitat... gracefully disappearing into the human mouth." Arun's isn't just serving food -- it's serving edible happiness. Five stars for flavor, fun, and the garlic afterglow that follows you home like a fond memory.

It was about 2:30 PM Saturday afternoon. It was surprising that the restaurant was empty. As I was reading the menu in the window, a young woman asked if I would like to come in and read the menu. The restaurant is not large, but very nicely decorated. The young lady was part of the family owned restaurant and we had a very interesting conversation while I waited for my food. I ordered chicken tikka, mild, rosemary nan, and raita. The chicken was absolutely deliciously marinated in a variety of fresh spices and herbs, and tenderized by soaking in milk. It was prepared in a tandoori oven, at least it was under the 'tandoori' listing on menu. The flavor was wonderful and melted in my mouth. Everything was so good, even the fresh brewed tea. I can't wait to go back. The pricing is also very reasonable. My experience was even nicer as I got to converse with another family member about their business and Indian cuisine in general. I live in Fort Lauderdale, and probably won't be able to travel down as often as I would like, but I honestly highly recommend Swagat if you like Indian food!

I have driven past Swagat many times on my way home from work, and as Indian cuisine is one of my…read morefavorites, it has been on my list to try. I had a very long workday yesterday, so Larry S. offered to order food for me to pick up on my way home. Naturally, I said ,"Let's try Swagat!". He placed the order online. As I was driving to the restaurant, he followed up that there was a $5 online ordering fee and then someone from the restaurant repeatedly called to advise that they were out of one of the items we ordered. So, we did not start off on the right foot. It was unclear if there was parking (they are next to Tacos vs. Burritos and there is parking lot in between the two restaurants, but it's not clear if the parking is for one restaurant or the other); however, I was able to get a street spot right in front. The food was supposed to be ready at 6:15, and it was! Inside, there was only one table occupied and the door was locked, which was kind of odd. The proprietor came and unlocked it and advised the food would be ready in a few minutes - it was! He explained that they just set up online ordering and there was not supposed to be a charge for that, so he handed me the $5 back and apologized profusely! Say what?! Already I was liking the customer service here! We ordered the following: Lasuni Gobi - Indo - Chinese crispy cauliflower in a garlicky coating KFC - Kerala style fried chicken Kebab Tasting - assortment of kebabs Fish Curry - Goan style Two types of naan - butter and garlic Basmati rice Everything was fantastic! Super flavorful; we ordered it medium hot and could have gone a little hotter, but it's always best to be conservative to start as spicing is subjective. For me, the stand out was the fish curry and the fish kebab. The Gobi didn't travel well and was not crispy at all by the time I got it home. Larry really liked the fried chicken. The crisp stood up to the travel time! The dinner pricing is on the high side, but it was totally worth it as the food was not at all greasy or heavy, and the spicing was delicate and nuanced. My only complaint was that the portion sizes were a little small. For a $120 order, it would have been nice to have leftovers. It looks like they have a good lunch special, plus, they have a $60 tasting menu that looks fire, so we are definitely going back! In all, I thought the food and the customer service were really fantastic and I will always welcome another Indian option!
