Best Indian Restaurant in New York

Always outstanding service and willing to get my Tika masala just the right level of spicy for me. Not a beer fan but their 1947 and Taj Mahal are both super. We eat here about 4x a year and have never had a bad meal. They were even kind enough to divide our shared ice cream in three for us. Also, the portions are ... deceptive. Usually we end up bringing some home but if you are really hungry you might be able we to finish everything. Dishes come with rice but we always order 1-2 orders if regular or garlic naan. It's a small place but I've made reservations for 8 before. They are very accommodating. Read More

Had a wonderful lunch at Swagat after a morning at The Met. Shashi K. was our host and server, and was a delight. We enjoyed Lamb Rogan Josh, Navratan Korma, basmati rice, naan, and beer. All was delicious. We hope to return!

New place for me and could not be happier with the food! The service was excellent (shout out to Isha) and they even accommodated for my daughter's limited spice palate. Rogan Josh for me, Tandoor Chicken for the little one, and one of the most fluffy delicious garlic naans 😋 Will definitely be back soon!

Good High Protein meal. Chicken, Lamb, Beef, Salmon. Felt a little pricey but meat is more expensive nowadays. So it is what it is. There were cheaper options but this was the highest protein option. Haha

It was incredible. What a neighborhood hidden gem! I ordered the vegetarian prix fixe which is a total deal and amazing! I also started by ordering Chicken Tikka Masala but when I saw the order for the gentleman next to me arrive, I immediately changed it to his order and then the people next to me inquired about ... it as well. It is Chicken Achariya Tikka Kebab. It was PHENOMENAL! I would go here over and over! I will definitely be going to Madam Ji next which is closer to me in Chelsea. Read More
