had a work team lunch here. they had an outside tent setup for dining. parking was available but I could see it being a challenge during dinner hours. service was excellent with the server suggesting items since it was our first time there. we got multiple items for the table on recommendation of our server and all we spot on delicious! we all took a box to go. I enjoyed my leftovers for dinner with my GF and will be visiting here again in the future.

We ordered spicy tika masala however they just put a whole lot of chili powder and the flavor of the tika masala was gone. All we could taste was the flavor of the chili powder and this other flavor that I could describe as powdery. The tika kaba was not good and the texture of the chicken was equivalent to frozen or microwaves chicken. The rice was ok. The best thing was the naan and the samosa. The table cloth had dried food marks and was not cleaned. The plates were chipped and the water that was served had pieces/crumbs in it. The bathroom was unavailable and they told us that when we arrived to the restaurant however from reading other reviews about this place I see that the restroom was unavailable for them as well and those reviews were from months ago. Oh and the tika masala we order that tasted like straight chili powder, we ask to get another order of the tika masala without any spice. It tasted ok. This place is not a great Indian food place. All these good reviews definitely made me want to go there but I was dooped out of $73. Places like Pakwan are on a whole different level compared to this place regarding Indian food. Anyone who has eaten here should go try pakwan and see the difference. Pakwan is wayyyyyyyyyyy better.

How is Paneer Tikka Masala at Swad? Does it taste like it or it’s sweet like butter masala?

I really like it a lot. The butter and cream make this dish so good.

Is there a private room for about 25 people for dinner?

Perhaps you could reserve the entire dining room. Probably fit 25.
