Swadist - Jersey City

An amazing restaurant for enjoying authentic Indian cuisine. Could do better and investment to make the ambiance more appealing. Ordered Malai Chicken Tikka and vegetable jalfreezi. Both the dishes were really good with perfect spice and flavors. Also, try their refreshing masala lemonade. And it’s BYOB.I would certainly recommend them.

We have been to Swadist multiple times and it has never disappointed! Tastiest food, great service and good atmosphere. We tried the lunch buffet and it was amazing.. the sweets rasmalai and moong dal halwa were the best!! The salads were surprisingly tasty and the main course was very delicious (dal makhani, goat curry paneer biryani were my favourites . Their a la carte menu is exceptional as well we tried the lamb biryani, soya chaap, chole rice and paneer gravy (they give it with a large serving of rice and it was sufficient for 2 of us . Highly recommend this place and will keep going back :

Great Indian restaurant find in Jersey City, out of the many options in JSQ. Food was fresh, delicious- one of the best tandoori chicken dishes I have come across. And surprisingly gulag jamun tasted fresh, not refrigerated. BYOB which always makes it a great option. Service was a bit slow on Friday evening, many of tables serviced before ours. (No one came for water, take our order, bill)

One of the best place to have Indian cooked meals. We ordered chilly garlic noodles and goat curry along with naan basket. Their goat curry is having authentic Indian taste but I was missing chilly garlic flavor in noodles. Therefore I am deducting 1 star. They also serves Thai curry which definitely I want to explore in future , but from goat curry I can say they have good Indian flavor senses , so I would recommend all Indian food lover explorers to try out this place . It’s good place in reasonable price with variety of options. Also the quantity of there food is very good.

I am a foodie and a pretty greta cook myself and have been disappointed by the taste of most Indian restaurants in NY and NJ since they don't come close to the authentic Indian food in India. Swadist was a surprise! Geetanjali, my server was very sweet and customised my meal just as I wanted! The chicekwn. bhuna was yummy! I loveee spice and generally most spicy food is pretty normal for me, but Geetanjali had my bhuna customised to my spice level! And boy oh boy was it good! Highly recommended!
