    This restaurant happened to be on the same block as our hotel, so my friend and I decided to pop in for dinner. I am so glad we did because the food was delicious! I have always loved Indian food and this was some of the best I have ever had. The waiters were friendly and the food came out quickly. It was a really nice, quiet place and I would love to return when I am back in Barcelona.

    An Indian reviewing a Indian restaurant in Barcelona...... this one has to be a candid one. Honestly I ordered Dum ka murg and Pudina Paratha. Both of which were yummliciously delicious and authentic . This restaurant sure did not let me miss home . Highly recommend.

    Well. Hmm. I was so excited for this place, after reading a ton about it on Yelp, and doing a fair amount of research into other Indian restaurants around. I was so excited for the food, being a die hard Indian cuisine fan. I was actually pretty disappointed. The food seemed to have too much of one spice, and not really that much else. We got two different types of naan, one that had garlic, and one that was cheese filled (don't ask me why), and they were both sort of tasteless. We also ordered onion fritters, which were halfway decent (maybe the best part of the meal). When the curries and so forth started to get to us, everything started to taste just so sadly meh, and boring. Some dishes were even things that I really didn't want to eat. It didn't even really taste like Indian. I'm used to always feeling really full after going to Indian restaurants, but this time, I just didn't eat that much. :( I wanted to love it. Even the mango lassi wasn't that good, and the masala tea tasted like water, flavor, and milk (no art). The ambiance is really sweet though, with elegant seating, and nice lighting. The prices are kind of high. Around 12 or so for a simple dish, which I honestly didn't find worth it. The staff was pretty nice though, and just the right amount of making sure that we were well tended to. Very average, maybe towards not so good. Not bad food at all, but I might choose somewhere else next time.

    It is a nice indian restaurant. The food is amazing and the atmosphere is calm and relax. They have a nice wine list. The service is quick and good one. They take care of the customers and give some tips about dishes.

    What a pleasant surprise in the middle of Barcelona. I just loved it. This is the best Indian food I've ever tried. As a Indian food lover I'm always looking for gems like this. The place is trendy, casual and immersive. The food great and the service in accordance to the place. You will feel welcomed and pleased with every taste of the wonderful dishes available. I'll be back for sure and I'll recommend to all of mine friends. Good food and spice food addicts will enjoy

    Wanted to try some Indian food in Barcelona and glad we came across this place…read more Very lovely aesthetic on the inside and they even Serve the food in those metal plates which was nice. Portion size itself was fairly decent and I'm glad we ordered just the right amount of food for the group. The Chicken Dal (chicken dhansak I think they called it) was very unique! First time I've had a dish that was chicken and dal together and it was really nice. First time I've had a dish that was chicken and all together and it was really nice especially with the jeera rice! Brother ordered the Butter Chicken and it was very flavorful as well. Loved the Chicken Tikka too! Lamb Rogan Josh actually came quite salty! Like it was unbelievably saw me so we told the server and they were quick to replace it. Even got us an extra dessert to make up at the end. Pudina Paratha was also quite nice! Flaky and just the right amount of flavor in there. Got the Gulab Jamun For dessert and it was the perfect amount of sweetness. I usually feel they end up getting too sugary sweet but this was perfect! They brought us one on the house and now that we had two on the table one of them was notably different from the other. I think it was just that it was extremely hot! Like you actually had to blow on it and it would have burned your mouth if you didn't do that first. Overall very delicious!

    Can I start off by saying I want to pack this place up and take it home with me. Coming from…read moreCalifornia I've had my good share of Indian food, but nothing beats the Indian food, like this place here. I was having a night in and decided to place an order for my friends and I for dinner and got some dishes. I don't know if it was because I was new to the app Glovo but a few dishes I wanted were part of a promotion and I ended up getting them half off. I placed the ordered and was told the establishment would handle the delivery. Within minutes I got a notification letting me know when the delivery would get there and exactly 40 minutes later it was. The chicken tikka masala was bright in hue and flavorful. It tasted so creamy and authentic. Not like "Americanized" Indian food. With that being said, the chicken was very moist, and the tomato sauce that covered it was so rich and delicious the extent of my vocabulary won't be able to describe its justice. The channa masala was also such a delight. I've never had this dish and I'm so glad I have nothing to compare it to. All I know is that the chick peas were soft, flavorful and not too oily. I feel as though I've been spoiled by this dish and when I get back to the states no other channa masala would compare. The naan bread here is denser and more flat than the ones I've had. I normally like it fluffy but this style made them a little chewier and I actually liked the texture a lot. It was great to dip in all the sauces. The chicken biryani was good as well. I loved the flavors, chunk of chicken, cashew and even the eggs. The mango lassi was definitely out of this world! So rich, creamy and they used really good yogurt! I actually saved some to enjoy later because I didn't want to finish it in one go. Overall the flavors and dishes were well made, well packaged and was perfect! If I get lucky to visit Barcelona again in the further this will be the first place I visit!

    With a name like Swagatam, it has to be good. So let's get swaggy!…read more If I'm being honest, we have not become converts of Spanish food. (Please, no hate! We're not big into seafood.) However, we have enjoyed some great pastries here-churros y chocolaté at CHOCOLATERÍA 1902 and napolitanas at La Malorquina in Madrid. After all that, we needed something spicy. The winner of the best food we've eaten in Spain so far is Swagatam! This little gem is tucked a ten-minute walk from La Perdrera and two doors down from our Airbnb. Swagatam really brought the spice! As you can see from the picture our meal came with four house-made sauces and two house-made seasoned salts. My wife fearing over-spicing, went with mild chicken curry. I ordered medium chicken curry and my daughter medium chicken tikka masala. All appropriately spicy. I was happy to kick mine up with sauce number 4. We really enjoyed our meal. Not only was the food delicious, the owner, Lal, has been the kindest person we met in Spain and Portugal so far. To be fair, he could top the nice list in any country. He's just a positive, happy dude with a great outlook and attitude. He is a friend to all. The service was great and the prices reasonable too. Great quality and presentation. He brought my wife and I a shot of limoncello (we had to politely turn down since we don't drink) and a mango lassi for our daughter when we had finished our meal. Lal is a gracious host, for sure. We recommend a meal at Swagatam the next time you are at the northwest end of the Passeig de Gràcia.

    The food was amazing. Fresh and clean. I eat a lot of Indian food this place was great food and to…read moretop it off great portions at a fair price. I had the chicken saag, lamb tikka masala and several other items. The youngest with me was 10 years of age and the eldest 48. We all enjoyed it. It does look shady walking up to it ona side alley and it's a lil tight when u peek inside but the service and food were tip top. The waiters spoke English and were hospitable and helpful.

We picked up some take out (enough of the tapas already) and it was a great change of pace with fantastic food. We ended up getting the kofte, chicken, vegetable biryani and two naan (garlic and meat) for about 18€. The food was homemade, fresh and delicious. The meat naan which is completely new to me was delicious filled with ground beef and the meatballs so tender. A good amount of food for the money. We asked for medium spice and it was what I would call medium. Con: it did take about 45 minutes to get the food. I'm not sure if they were out of something or what the hold up was, but damn that's a long time. I also saw a few people stroll in after us and get their food fairly quickly. Second, I can't guarantee the cleanliness of the place. The very nice owner was definitely coughing up a lung and then handed us the bag, let's just hope he wasn't handling any of the food. I mean this happens everywhere, but I was watching it go down for 45 minutes so that's why I bring it up. Overall, if you're looking for non-Spanish food which is kind of hard to find, surprisingly in BCN, this spot is super authentic Pakistani, cheap and delicious. Cash only! They also changed their name to Village Spice or along those lines!
