😠 Two bottles of water for 23 CSF. Food was terrible, not spicy at all. Just same bland creamy taste in every dish. The service was so slow. We got our naan 30 min before the food came. People often mention restaurant, Indian, buffet, service, good, staff, chicken, friendly, great,

    Best indian food I've had in Zurich Yes, sometimes the lines are long, and sometimes people cut it, but it tastes exactly like an expat would like it: a perfect combination of spicey and flavors at the right price for a buffet. Only enjoyed a plate but it was more than enough for me :)

    I take buffet and take out here often. One day I spilled lassi and made a big mess. They cleaned it up and gave me a new drink. Their service makes me feel at home. Many thanks.

    This is the best Indian restaurant I have been to in a very long time. The food is super tasty. I have been to the lunch buffet twice, the variety of options is is wide and the choices were different each visit. The staff are very kind friendly and attentive. Can't wait to go back. Great choice for vegetarians.

    I was pleasantly surprised by Swaad as it looks quite simple from the outside - but the food is very tasty and of good quality, not at all greasy or over-salted. Kind staff too and their lunch buffet is perfect for a quick take-away, will definitely come again.

    Just visited this restaurant via MakeMyTrip and the service provided by this restaurant was not good at all. We got low quality food and we were also asked to change the seat as there was no seat for more visitors. When there was another group who visited this restaurant, they got better quality food. The owner was a little rude. The waiters were good though. They should get more space as there was not enough space. Wouldn't visit this restaurant again.

    Decent indian which I had as delivery. The sheesh kebab was divine, butter chicken decent, Tikka masala underwhelming. I think the pakoras would have been great but they were over seasoned with a salt heavy seasoning.

    I went today to pick up my Too good to go service and the order was not ready, They did not know they had an order to prepare. The owner just gave me rice with chicken. Please next time offer more food as I pay for the service

    A disappointing place for Indian food. We ordered dal makhani and what we got was not at all a dal makhani. No urad dal, instead we got a dal with chana dal and black masoor. When we asked the waiter, he said it's their special recipe, haha. Besides, while ordering we asked if they give rice complimentary, and the waiter said no, you have to order separately. When we ordered naan, we got complimentary rice too, a total waste of food and money. Garlic naan was just normal naan with garlic paste on top of it, too substandard. Chicken soup is actually chicken pieces in a tomato soup, that too is not tasty at all. Too chaotic and a bad atmosphere. We could literally hear arguments between waiters at our table. I don't even know why I'm giving a few stars. Only the papad was good.

    We had dinner there for 4 days and I would say it was the best Indian food we had in the entire Europe with such great hospitality. I will highly recommend this restaurant to all the Indian food lovers .

  • 5/5 Surinder M. 11 months ago on Google
    Excellent food topped up with excellent hospitality. Akashdeep and his staff were very good and looked after everyone. I in particular required food with less salt and he went out of way to prepare food for me on all 4 days.

    This is one the best Indian restaurant in zurich. They have buffet during the day. Unlike other restaurant food served is always fresh. The food is not oily as well. They have wide variety of salads and starters and main course. Staffs are good too. Price is also very reasonable. The restaurant has outdoor sitting as well.
