We had about a 15 minute wait for a table for 2 on a Friday night. Our waitresses were so tentative and kind! We started with the boudin cakes! Really tasty with the avocado cream sauce. My husband kept wishing there were more than two! lol For entrees, I tried the crawfish hand pie and Brussel sprouts, along with a berry kick side salad! Everything was good. I particularly liked the fried jalapeños on the salad!! My husband ordered the Big Plate, includes fish, shrimp,and stuffed shrimp. The fish was fried so perfectly, just needed a few more shakes of seasoning! The remoulade sauce really shined and made the fish taste better. We finished with 2 desserts! The apple pie with ice cream and the turtle were both great! Overall, our experience was amazing! Our waitresses really anticipated our needs the entire night! We'll definitely be back for seconds!

If you love Swagat, you have to try Gunpowder. It's owned by the same people, so you already know…read morethe flavor is there -- but Gunpowder brings its own twist. The dishes feel familiar yet completely refreshed with unique ingredient tweaks that really elevate everything. Every bite felt intentional, bold, and full of depth. It's the perfect blend of traditional Indian flavors with a modern edge. The vibe is also a little more upscale and edgy than your typical Indian restaurant, which I loved. It's different enough to feel exciting, but still comforting if you're a fan of classic Indian food. Easily a new favorite.

Very clean. Love they have booths. Did I mention the food yet? This was my 2nd visit and tried out…read morethe Gunpowder Chicken Biryani dish, level spicy. (Not the Indian spicy which is considered "very spicy") & it was perfect in every way. The sauce is not sweet like butter chicken but reminded me of chicken 65 flavors as it was also served with a slice of lemon and topped with purple onions. The biryani (seasoned) basmati rice was added flavor. I'll definitely be back for this again. The portion was enough for 2 servings. Oh it came with a side or carrot & onion raita ( homemade yogurt) to help cool off the mouth when eating a spicy dish.I love raita and I would have enjoyed more of it but it was a nice surprise. I didnt order naan (as the rice was filling enough as a starch) but next time I will because why not.

The standout for me was the veggie fried rice. It had great flavor, and I'd honestly come back for that alone. The Snake Wrangler drink was also a favorite. The only downside was the hot honey. It was very light on both the wings and the bao bun, so the flavor didn't come through as much as expected. Service was efficient and attentive. It's a nice, quaint spot with a cozy patio and indoor seating. Still a solid happy hour option, and I'd definitely return.

Lately we have been going to the Government location. I need to be better about letting them know…read morehow well they do. This time we went came to the Village Plaza. It was 2pm on a Sunday. An hour before closing. We were seated quickly, but felt forgotten. Finally placed our order at 20 minutes later. Our food was a little hit and miss. Boudin Benedict, was room temperature. I had the Honey Poulette pancakes, this is where we were disappointed. The pancakes were over done, black around the edges and lacked any flavor. The chicken was the best thing from our brunch. Husband had coffee, he got one cup and asked for more. His second cup was only half and told it was the last of the coffee in house. From what I could tell we were not the last people there.

In all seriousness there are much less options than there used to be but they prioritized their drink menu it looks like. We got the Edemame and I thought it came with salt sprinkled on it usually, definitely did not this time. The spicy chicken ramen tasted good but the noodles were soggy. I asked for extra bean sprouts twice and never got them. My brother said the tofu was very slimy and not enjoyable. I asked the waiter if they do anything for birthdays and he said I gotchu covered. After an hour of waiting for whatever it was we left. The place is still very enjoyable to be at but the food just doesn't cut it anymore.

Because Sunday's there is happy hour until 5, I got the bottomless mimosas for $12, which came out to four drinks for me. A great deal I think! My friend and I weren't starving, but we wanted a snack, so we decided to split a burger between the two of us. We decided on the fried pickle burger, which came with ranch and fried pickles on the burger. I'm usually not adventurous when it come to burgers, but I was excited to try, since I loved fried pickles. The burger is pretty big, so it was defiantly enough for us to split. I thought the fried pickle burger was delicious! The ranch wasn't too heavily poured on, and the fried pickles were seriously a great touch. The patty was juicy and tasted so good. I love these fries, and they were cooked to perfection for me. I can't wait to come back and be more adventurous with my burger selections haha.

They also have the cutest merchandise available for purchase. It's a great place for date night, hanging out with friends, celebrating birthdays or anniversaries, or just spending time with family.

We ordered: Sautéed Crab Fingers/ Fried Green Tomatoes/stuffed Mushrooms I can't really single anything as a best bite because they were all great. The only thing we were upset about, was we don't know about this place sooner. That way we could've ate here coming and going back to Houston. Enter freely, they've been approved

Come get alligator bites, boudin balls, catfish, poboys, red beans and rice, jambalaya, etc. You name it, and they probably have it. The food is always good and the portions are large.
