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.

I enjoyed the incredible butter chicken and garlic naan, and I was served by Mr. Ajay, who was very kind and welcoming. The food was outstanding! The ambiance was neat and soothing, complemented by relaxing lofi Indian music. I highly recommend giving this place a try! Food: 5/5

This charming little spot serves delicious Indian food. The staff is wonderful, friendly, and creates a welcoming atmosphere. Most days, the food and service are good, but be cautious if you visit on Friday evening, as things may not be the same as on other days. I tried the vegetable momos, and they were fantastic. The soya chaap was good on a weekday, but not as enjoyable on Friday evening. Overall, the food here is better than many other Indian restaurants in the area. I hope they can maintain consistency in quality. As for vegetarian options, they have plenty, so you definitely won’t miss anything!

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)
