Prerna in particular took our order and I loved how she took care of us, gave us great suggestions on the food options and her hospitality was spot on. For those who suspect the music gets loud, it isn't that bad. The live music and the song choices make the dinner experience very worthy. I am coming back again.

(1/5) I rarely leave…read morenegative reviews, but this experience was disappointing from start to finish, especially for a restaurant that positions itself as a premium dining destination. We arrived around 9:15 PM with our two young children (ages 2 and 6). What nobody informed us was that around 10 PM the restaurant transforms into a nightclub/disco, with music becoming so loud that it was genuinely uncomfortable and potentially harmful for a toddler's ears. Had someone simply mentioned this while seating us, we would have happily chosen another time or another place. That lack of communication alone was extremely disappointing. The décor is beautiful and the restaurant looks stunning. Unfortunately, that's where most of the positives end. Food Review: * Lotus Stem Kebab - Terrible. It was basically a regular kebab with a piece of lotus stem in the middle. Very uninspiring. 1/10 * Cream of Chicken Soup - Excellent. The kids absolutely loved it. 9/10 * Shroom Indulgence - Average. Just seasoned mushroom caps; nothing memorable. 5/10 * Palak Bocconcini - Easily one of the worst dishes I've had. It tasted like canned spinach and lacked freshness, flavour, and texture. 0/10 * Shahi Laal Maas - Served cold. The meat was tough, rubbery, and difficult to eat. It honestly felt like it had been sitting before being served. 1/10 * Missi Roti - Very good. * Green Chilli Laccha Paratha - Very good. * Roomali Roti - Excellent. * The Big Fat L.I.T Indian Wedding - Extremely watered down. I've had many Long Island Iced Teas, and this was among the weakest. 2/10 * The Paan Panther - Again, watered down and disappointing. 2/10 * Celestial Citrus - The best drink we ordered. Really enjoyable. * On the Cloud (Mango Lassi) - Nice presentation, but the lassi itself was slightly sour and below average. * Fresh Berry Tres Leches - Delicious and probably the highlight of the meal. The service was inconsistent. The staff who took our order were warm, polite, and welcoming. However, the staff delivering food were the complete opposite. When we politely asked if the music volume could be reduced because of our children, the response was shocking. One staff member told us, "We're all over Instagram. This is how it is. Didn't you know?" Since we could barely hear anything, we had to ask her to repeat herself multiple times. She then said something along the lines of, "That's the point--we don't want anyone to hear." The dismissive attitude, facial expressions, and arrogance were completely unnecessary and left a very poor impression. A restaurant can have great décor, but hospitality is what brings guests back. My ratings: * Food: 1/10 * Service: 3/10 * Ambience (before the nightclub music): 8/10 * Ambience (after 10 PM): 2/10 * Family-friendliness: 0/10 If you're planning to visit with young children, be aware that after 10 PM the atmosphere changes completely into a high-volume party venue. That may be enjoyable for some guests, but families deserve to be informed beforehand so they can make an informed decision. Unfortunately, what should have been a pleasant family dinner turned into one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences we've had. We won't be returning, and I cannot recommend it based on our experience.

Another item that we noticed was missing at this location was the robot waiter, which we were hoping to see. Nevertheless, when we walked-in, we were pleasantly surprised to see how large the restaurant was, with ample room to walk around the food tables, and choose our items with ease. Also, it wasn't too busy in the restaurant itself, which allowed us to choose a table of our liking near the back. Once we had placed our order, we waited about 12-15 minutes for the food to arrive. We had settled on one thali, which contained butter chicken, along with a few other lentil curries. This thali was marvellous, as the food items tasted delicious, and were freshly-made. Also, there was an ample amount, which filled me up to the brim! We also ordered butter chicken on the side, with an order of plain naan. Once again, we were impressed with how delicious these items tasted; we ended up getting refills of the naan, as it was too hard to pass up! Service was also great, as we were brought our refills quickly upon ordering. All servers were pleasant, and always greeted us with a smile. Definitely a place we would return to in the future!

Anyhow, I only tried some vegetarian items and it was not bad. They are currently offering 20% off takeout as part of their grand opening. Prices are reasonable and place is pretty spacious with seating and limited parking spots. Lots of sweet and savoury options. Would like to go back to try their mango lassi and dosa. Their samosa was good, it's different from the other ones I've tried as they don't have the big chili flakes inside which I like but it's a bit oily. I like the sauces that come with it. Tea was good too. There's options for sweets that's not too sweet which is great.

As part of the local community for 20 years as well as owning my own business in the area, I am impressed by Swaagat's service and the quality of food. The spices were perfect, not just the usual suspects thrown in. I commented on the lamb I ordered to find out that the sauce is cooked for over 12 hours; one can taste the skill with spices. I note that people associate Indian food as cheap, but not if you are looking for quality and the type of ingredients used. You cannot make it for $40, never mind having to source ingredients. I am also a professional chef with training in Indian cuisine and there is no way I would or can replicate it for the price. Its worth having someone cook you a meal you would love to savour over a lunch with friends. If you enjoy good solid Indian food that is made with care in detail utilizing fresh quality ingredients located in the downtown core with great staff who cares, Swaagat is your place. Modern setting serving traditional Indian cuisine with love. and detail. I definitely will return again for dinner. As with lunch I was able to sample a few new favourites that I ordered for dinner.

Swaagat on King Street East is a total gem if you're craving deeply comforting Indian food…read moredowntown. It is always a win finding a kitchen that treats its meat-free dishes as the star of the show, and this place absolutely delivers. The paneer here is phenomenal. The Paneer Makhani is rich, buttery, and packed with warming spices, while the Palak Paneer tastes wonderfully fresh and earthy instead of heavy. You absolutely have to get the Missi Roti to scoop it all up--it has a fantastic, rustic, slightly nutty bite that pairs perfectly with the hearty curries. My only minor gripe is the Mango Lassi (3/5). It leaned a bit too sweet for my liking and was missing that sharp, refreshing yogurt tang you need to cut through a rich meal. Overall, a fantastic spot for top-tier comfort food. Skip the lassi, but definitely double down on the paneer! The staff is polite and helpful to pick the right food options. However they are short staffed so there can be some delays if the place gets busy. Ambiance is great except the missing blinds that make it difficult to see the screen during bright daylight.
