    It was ok 👌 Chilli Chicken wings was my favourite, thai pad noodles, but costly its too overpriced for these type of food. They charging this much money just because of this location defence colony?

    Little expensive but value for money, they have 3 floor for dining. Food quality is good, they prepare fresh sea food. Service staff is very humble.

    Tonight, I enjoyed a family dinner, and the experience was just alright. The crowd was minimal, and the choices for both drinks and food were limited. On the positive side, the food quality was good. It can be considered a satisfactory place for a family outing

    Visited in december on recommendation of my senior , saw live crabs there. Ordered chinese and the food was above my expectation. Had soup, chilli paneer and fried rice, each item was so well prepared that it cannot be described in words.

    Extremely disappointed, don't go by the photos posted.....I was a regular here for the past 10 years now but the past 3 visits has been forgettable. The quality of food has gone down and prices have risen. Fish tikka was tasteless and raw, and when we asked to change it the same plate was reheated and made a lot spicy. Chicken in Biryani was not properly cooked and was a tough eat. Surami fish fry was good but costly. Maybe the last time for me....

    The restaurant authentic Mangalorean and Chettinad Food. There are happy hours for alcohol lovers from 11.30 am to 11.00 pm which applies to Beer and Classic Cocktails. Although Sol kadhi was mentioned in the menu but it was not available. If you order Tequila Sunrise cocktail do stir it really well. And since it's not classic cocktail so you won't get one on one free. Paneer 65 was Andhar style , delicious!! Appam Stew was ok. Appam could have been more thin and light. But the stew was good. Mr. Mustak , Mr Sanjeev, Mr. Sanjay Manna and Mr. Kausher were very helpful at serving and guiding us.

    You have to try their curries and seafood selection... don’t try the North Indian food or the Chinese food(because it’s simply not their speciality) ask the waiters what’s in season and based on their order that fish ... all of their South Indian curries and assortments are simply amazing

    After 6pm - they prepare special kaale channe. Make sure you eat that. Place is really good, ideally located in def col market. Very nice ambiance inside with good AC cooling. Food is delicious and very well prepared.

    I have visited this restaurant innumerable times and I liked the place but then I wouldn't say they have great food taste. The reason it might be after gaining some kind of visibility they didn't pay much attention to the food quality.

    We had guest over with us today so We ordered our favourite butter chicken from Swagath and it was pathetic taste … we have been ordering food for last 15 years but today was the worst experience. On complaining to Mr Ravi , he telling us that the Chef( Mr Khan ) says it is fine . I am sure Mr Ravi it was our fault as we ordered food from Swagath and thank you for such wonderful assistance. We will never be ordering from Swagath again . So finally we ordered the food from some other place .

    Poor food quality. Very high prices. Quantity of the food provided is very less. Taste was disgusting in some non vegetarian food

  • 3/5 Susan M. 1 year ago on Google
    This place has some good and some mediocre dishes. While the fish curry and mutton sukka amazed me the chicken chettinad left me disappointed..appams were ok and so was the chicken stew. I feel they are trying to do too many things. Expensive it is and I am not sure if it's worth it.

    Very quick service.. Food quality is very very good... Kulfi Falooda : suggestion- pls add different kind of syrup I.e. rose etc..and if served in the glass instead of flat plates, will be really delightful...

  • 5/5 Kalyan K. 2 years ago on Google
    It’s been over a decade when I ate here last so visiting this restaurant was in my list of things to do in Delhi. Ordered crab and prawns koliwala. They really surprised me.. Excellent dishes and very generous quantities . These smallest crab portion is good for 2-3 people, so it needed quiet a bit of effort on my side to finish it after prawns The service has always been very good in Swagath restaurants, and I was t disappointed this time either

  • 5/5 Seb T. 1 year ago on Google
    Tasty food. I would give six stars, just for the fact that they don't sneak the controversial/illegal service charge onto your bill. Thank you for your honesty!

  • 5/5 sarika s. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice location, best for family dinners

  • 1/5 Padma R. 1 year ago on Google
    AWFUL, overpriced food. We ordered appams and one non-veg and one veg stew. The non-veg stew had an unpalatable, thick, artificial coconut milk flavour and tough meat. The veg stew had exactly the same thick and tasteless white sauce and a few peas and stray vegetables.Most surprising of all was the quantity. The veg stew came in a tiny plastic container (we ordered takeaway), which was barely enough for a single eater. We used to be enthusiastic and go there many times when it opened as a South Indian sea food restaurant. Like all others, it has given up its original uniqueness to become the same old tandoori / chinese-indian manchurian place with South Indian food taking the bottom of the list. NEVER again shall we make the mistake of eating there.

  • 5/5 Subhradip AIIMS New D. 1 year ago on Google
    It has a nice ambience, The 2nd floor is getting renovated now, so I have to climb all the way till the 3rd floor(if the first floor is occupied). Without an elevator this could be a problem for elderly and expecting mom

  • 5/5 Dushyant S. 1 year ago on Google
    The place exceeded my expectations. Food is delicious and the place is pocket friendly. They have exciting offers on beverages.

  • 4/5 Nazil P. 1 year ago on Google
    Ambience is good... Food is not having wow factor but overall ok.. service is also ok.. waiting time is not too long... Quantity of food is good...not very pricey...the price is as of 21/02/2023

  • 5/5 Hemant G. 7 months ago on Google
    Really good Indian food, one of the best breads including basic tandoori roti , lacha parantha , misi roti, nans . Always a satisfying meal.

  • 4/5 M A K. 5 months ago on Google
    This place is always great if you are looking for traditional Mangalorean food, friendly staff and quite a quick service. The place is situated on a few floors so not suitable for people with mobility challenges.

  • 1/5 lalit n. 5 months ago on Google
    Food was terrible. Fish that we have order, I think it wasn't fresh. I got food poisoning and itching whole over the body. They should look into the hygiene. Staff members were excellent. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT TO ANYONE.

  • 1/5 SHIMONA L. 5 months ago on Google
    Its a family restaurant.. we ordered veg starters nawabi chaap and veg seekh kababs.. both tased terrible. According to the amount they r charging, food should have some standard. We didn't feel like ordering main course. On top of it waiter was coming again and again asking for main course and when we didn't order, He came twice with the bill while our starters were still not finished. I wouldn't suggest veg starters there. Food and soup was bland. They can certainly work on their recipes.

  • 2/5 Tanishq M. 4 months ago on Google
    Called long beforehand to ensure a sitting of 9 people. Arrive on time to see they had given our table away and provided no good reason, compassion or compensation. However they did attempt to seat us promptly, thus the 3 stars.

    I liked prawn kolivada (although not cooked in Bombay style). The mutton stew and chicken chettinad gravies were totally punjabi style but quite tasty.

  • 5/5 Amelie S. 4 years ago on Google
    We were recommended this restaurant by a friend. So, we decided to try it out. We were not disappointed. Small outlet, multicuisine food. We tried the chinese crispy fried vegetables, hakka noodles and vegetable manchurian which were all very good. I understand that the indian food is also very good. Also has a bar with a wide variety of drinks.

  • 3/5 Sudhanshu N. 3 years ago on Google
    The place that I used to swear by for its immaculate Mangalorean cuisine using fresh seafood has sadly lost most of its sheen, apparently. The cooking also is not what it used to be. Post Covid loss of chefs??? The jumbo prawns were overdone, the tawa fried Pomfret was stale and the spices hardly noticeable, and instead of surmai in the fish koliwada as per menu, we were served basa...the bane of every restaurant, despite our specific request to the waiter. Only the mutton gassi was passable. Hope the restaurant reclaims its past glory.
