I'm very easy about this but made hard to ask about items. 2nd went in to pickup order wasn't ready they didn't have knowledgeable cashier to show me details before paid. Had to pay to even see receipt. Weird but order was right thankfully. 3rd they told me food is not ready at time stated which is fine. Waited additional 30 still no message food ready. Went back in was told they meant to reach out. 4th leave with food takes less than 10 minutes to get home. All food is ice cold. The salmon, yogurt rice and garlic naan. Ice cold . Salmon is delicious even cold. Yogurt rice has uncooked rice and so much yogurt it's soup (not good at all). Garlic naan doesn't taste like any garlic and if you know naan, it's not good cold. Mango lasses no issue. I wanted to call to express displeasure but wasn't sure would understand so headed to microwave. Would return for tikka fish (salmon) again. The rest is a no thank you

Of the now many Indian restaurants open in the Indian Land area, we prefer Swadeshi as it is…read moreclosest to our Sun City home, has a good variety of dishes and their fried Gobi (cauliflower), dry version, mild spice level, is my wife's favorite. Our regular appetizer at $13.99. Many servers are not well-versed in making English translations of dishes, so do not be shy to ask for clarification from other employees. Also, spiciness in terms of heat are set as none, mild, medium and hot. On a scale of 5, with 5 being very hot, we go for a 2 or three, mostly sticking on mild. The kitchen can go overboard, so if it is too hot for you, speak up. We usually split a large bottle of Indian lager beer. There are about 6 varieties available. India does make good lager beers at $5 - 8 per bottle. Another appetizer that I have as a main is the most delicious Pitapuram Prawns Vepudu ($17.99), at mild spice level. A super yummy dish of sauteed shrimp, eight medium sized that you have to cut in half to eat, cooked with onions and green bell pepper in a unctuous gravy, as in rich tasting, of severe flavor. I mean severe to be intense, not ucky. The Okra Masala ($13.99) is a stew of okra with onions and spices, which is delicious mixed, as we like it, with white rice, at medium spice level. We eat whatever is left over for lunch the next day. Bullet Naan ($4.99) is covered with bits of chilies, going well with the curries and stew-like dishes. To control the spicy heat and rescue my tongue, I regularly order a Mango Lassi ($3.99). This is a very nice, smooth, tasty with tang yogurt drink. Try one for your table so you all can try it. Water and beer do not "refresh" the spice...milk and yogurt does. The Asian-Indians eat later, beginning at 8pm. As we are leaving, these families a coming in and sit at large tables on your left when you enter.

We were hesitant to try this restaurant because the previous Indian restaurant that was in this…read morelocation wasn't our favorite. I have to say we were pleasantly surprised and it was so so good! We tried a chicken app, korma, the parotta and garlic naan. The breads were a stand out for sure, and you could tell they were homemade. It was the best garlic naan I have ever tasted. The Monagaado chicken was presented nicely and had a lot of flavor. The korma wasn't my favorite but still very good. I prefer my korma a little creamier. But, there are a lot of creamy dishes on the menu, so we will definitely be back to try more. Don't miss out on trying their breads!

Top notch service and hospitality, food served with smiles and pride. Grand feast has 25 items served on a banana leaf in a thali style serving. (Pictures taken were still short of some items.) Each and every item on the banana leaf reminds you of food back home and was tasty. My personal favorites were the paneer, dosa, mung salad, sambhar, puliyogare and kheer. Service for such a feast is no easy feat, and they did a marvelous job in serving food effortlessly and so efficiently. Hats off! They have a loyal customer in us, and we will be back soon. Restaurant seating was changed to accommodate community style feast serving, but place was neat and well maintained. My husband is from Bangalore, so this food hits home for us. So happy to have Aahaar so close by.

The naan and samosas were typical but the aloo gobi had more of a watery tomato taste than the thicker sauce I was expecting. I could also tell the vegetables didn't marinate long enough as they were almost seasonless and undercooked. Also, the restaurant was simply dirty. Wouldn't recommend this place. I did like how they offer mouth refreshers at the front desk, though (cardamom pods, fennel seeds, cloves, etc)

I found a new favorite Indian restaurant! It's so good, I went back in less than one week and…read morebrought someone else ! The first time, I was with my husband. The restaurant has re-decorated and renamed from the Indian restaurant that was here before. It looks very nice and bright inside with beautiful booths that look as if they have crystals nestled into the black fabric. We started off with the chicken samosa. It was delicious ! It reminded me of having a chicken pot pie inside a crispy, puffed pastry. It was served with a tasty green sauce and a tangy brown sauce to dip in. The next time I came, the waiter brought us their special sauce to dip in, and it was even better. It tasted like spicy cilantro and mint. For entrees, my husband ordered the lamb kabobs. They came out sizzling hot, just like you see the fajita meat at Mexican restaurants. They were very good. I got the lamb chetinadu with rice. I asked for it spicy, but it wasn't quite spicy enough. Even my light-weight husband could eat it... so it was definitely weak. They took it back and fixed it, then it was perfect ! (And an entirely different color- it went from brown to a reddish color). I got the garlic naan bread to go with it, but it was not as thick and fluffy as other places. It reminded me of store-bought naan. My only complaint was their mango lassi. It was served in a plastic cup, not a glass, and was really watered down. I doubt I will buy it again. I like it thick and flavorful. Next we tried 2 of the desserts. The first dessert ras malai topped with sliced almonds reminded me of tres leches, except the spongy "cake" was round balls. It was good. The second was carrot halwa topped with cashews. It was ok. Interesting to try different things. They charge extra for credit card, so pay with cash. Also, closely watch what you are being charged. I was almost charged one dollar more than what was listed on the menu for the dessert. I came back 5 days later with my Indian friend and we both got the Hakka noodles (Indo-Chinese). They were very good ! This may be my go-to order. I must say, the Indo-Chinese noodles are better at Aroma because they put more cabbage and carrots, but this was still very good. That would be my suggestion... to add more veg. and they could be just as good. Lastly I tried their mothu kur laddu for dessert. I really enjoyed it. Note this item said $5 on the menu, but I was charged $6 upon check out. I caught it, and it was corrected. My Indian friend was not impressed with the dessert selection. She said most are likely from a can at the store. I personally don't know any different so to my little American self, it was fine. Overall, I'll probably become a regular here. Thinking about inviting a group to join me next week !

We stopped in today after noticing we were nearby on the map and decided to give it a try -- and…read moreI'm glad we did! We were warmly greeted and seated right away by Joy herself . She's such a lovely, sunny young woman -- incredibly pleasant to talk to and very responsive to all our questions. We started with mango lassis , one for each of us. I also ordered garlic naan , which is one of my favorites. Since the restaurant specializes in kabobs, I decided to try the garlic chicken kabobs , while my husband went with the veal kabobs . The mango lassi was tasty , though I'd suggest serving it in a glass when dining in -- just a small touch that would elevate the experience. We were also provided with water , which was appreciated, especially with dishes that include rice and bread . My husband's veal kabobs and naan arrived first, followed shortly by my garlic chicken kabobs. The naan did not disappoint -- soft, warm, and full of garlicky goodness . My chicken kabobs were flavorful and came out piping hot , a great sign of freshness. One thing to note for future guests: the kabobs are served without sauce, so don't expect a curry-style dish like tikka masala . We had just two small critiques: 1. The rice served was jasmine, which felt a bit dry and underwhelming. Typically, we're used to basmati rice with Indian cuisine, so this was a noticeable difference. 2. The veal kabobs, though well-seasoned, were overcooked and had a chewy texture . To finish off the meal, I ordered the ras malai -- and wow! It was delicious. I even went back for seconds! The establishment itself was clearly recently renovated . You can tell thought was put into the space -- the color palette was fresh and tasteful, and the overall atmosphere was very clean and inviting . It made for a lovely dining experience from start to finish.
