Swagath Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Delhi

First foremost. By the star rating u wud ve got the hint ...but still just read... This restaurant is a high end restaurant...well if it in defence colony. . Delhi..then yes of course I need not say further.. Located in a posh locality that caters to high class ppl... With high expectations I had gone there. But to my surprise..disappointed. yes disappointed... I am a South indian..age 43. Male. Defence offr. And I must say that I ve roamed around this country by virtue of my job..so I know the true taste of food...n I m a foodie...sss Ordered malabar parotta...ring parotta.. It was as if it was bought off the shelf and heated on a pan n served.. it was not soft. N fresh definitely...I m a mallu ...bhai..I know what parotta is.. Dish ... mutton varuval dry ..it is a typical tamil name ..it is suppose to be dry .but it was with onion garlic and other masala..and no south indian taste Etal...it was I wud say tasteless. ..I Don know what ro comment on this.. 4 next chicken andhra...again it was bland....chicken piece also like it was old.. A very important point. I went on a Tuesday I am not sure whether Tuesday ar like thus. I asked the staff...what is the name of the chef....after a pause...he uttered rajan... Sounds south indian...but I m sure he was lying..

For those who r big fan of swagath ...this review is not for u. .disregard.. But for those south Indians or ppl who love south indian food...this is the true review.. Yes I know with grt difficulty and years of hard work they wud earned this name n repute but sorry.. Totally big big large ...disappointment....

Shall never rec this to...

Beautiful North Indian food option located in the def col market offering amazing food with great ambience.

I broke my own rule of never dining in a restaurant that claims to serve authentic Chinese, South Indian and Continental on the same menu. We ofcourse went for the South Indian cuisine - the chicken 65 was passable, the Malabari chicken was almost leaking oil, the vegetable stew with appams was barely edible and the overpriced Swagath Special lobster was a ridiculous mish-mash of Indian spices with absolutely tasteless lobster thrown in. The only thing that passed the test were the fluffy neer dosas. Needless to say, this joint is managing to operate from the second floor of a building that has technically been sealed by the city municipal corporation - so the windows are blacked out with paint and the seating is cramped and dingy - I almost felt like a lobster in a cage myself.

Needless to say, if you're looking for an authentic South Indian experience (albeit veg), head to Swagath's cousin - Sagar Ratna - located in the same market. Tastier, cheaper,...
