Swadeshi Adda Indian Bar and Grill — Restaurant in Fort Mill

A Feast for the Senses

From the moment I stepped into this gem of a restaurant, I knew I was in for something truly special. The ambiance was rich and inviting—elegant yet warm—with subtle lighting, tastefully curated décor, and a layout that strikes a perfect balance between intimacy and vibrant energy. Every detail, from the table settings to the art on the walls, reflected thoughtful design and a deep commitment to excellence.

The food? Absolutely scrumptious. Each dish was a symphony of flavors—beautifully plated and cooked to perfection. The ingredients were fresh, the portions generous, and the menu offered a creative yet comforting mix of timeless classics and bold, modern twists. I especially loved the Biryani, Veg Dumplings Karampodi, Curry Leaf Gobi, and Lababdar Paneer—each bursting with flavor and melting in the mouth. Even the sides and sauces stood out, clearly crafted with precision and care.

And then—the music. Soft jazz and acoustic melodies floated through the air at just the right volume, adding soul to the atmosphere without ever overpowering conversation. It elevated the entire dining experience into something memorable and immersive.

The staff was equally impressive—gracious, attentive, and well-informed—striking the perfect balance between professionalism and warmth. They made us feel genuinely welcome and well taken care of from start to finish.

If you’re looking for a restaurant that nourishes not only your appetite but also your spirit, this is a must-visit. A perfect blend of ambiance, cuisine, and soulful touches—it’s the kind of place you’ll want to return to...

AWESOME AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE FOR BEST INDIAN FLAVORFUL FOOD AND GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. Had Butter Tandoori roti and oh mine was Soft and yet well cooked and loaded with butter. My Father could not stop praising the roti they had made. The Paneer butter Masala was Out of this world! So soft paneer with medium spice level and hint of sweetness to this gravy with hint of tanginess too! Very well balanced flavors. They recommended Palak paneer and that was great too where you taste garlic and gravy is salty and medium spicy but no hint of sweetness. Salty lassi initially came with double salt and they immediately changed it and made fresh without any salt. It would be better with added black salt, salt, roasted cumin powder, hint of green chillies and cilantro in a blender) than plain salted lassi. Daal tadka was excellent too! Not too much spice but garlic and chillies curry leaves all were giving wonderful taste. My Father never eats rice in a restaurant as he has difficulty chewing rice. But even he tried rice and daal and he liked it too! Paneer chilly was well made too with lots of gravy! We had family platter that comes with combination of onion pakodas, chilly pakodas, spring rolls, samosas Chilly pakodas were not spicy at all and even my 12 year old niece was eating chilly pakodas! They were tasting so good. Spring rolls were blend and no special dipping sauce was given. Samosas were excellent too! Very tasty! The Manager/Owner Kalyan came by and asked for opinion on the food and was very friendly. Please keep up with such flavorful tasty food and service! Just...

On Aug 18, we had ordered Monagaadu chicken along with some naans. We selected the spicy level as “Spicy” imagining the same kind of dish we gonna get as pictured on menu. To be frank, we had received quite opposite item. Item is neither spicy nor salty. Definitely that dish did not match the name of the item.

I hope the other items taste good.

As Google allow only one review from an account for any business, I am editing the old review and adding my experience had on Aug 30, 2024.

Based on management responses for my old review, thought of giving it another try. This time I called restaurant and placed an order (Spicy Kaddai Chicken and butter naan) via phone. I had informed that guy before placing an order as I had a bad experience earlier and wanted to give one more try.

funny thing is.. guy who took my order said, You're going to get the best item today that you might not have tasted anywhere in the surrounding restaurants. I agree with that guy the awful item that we tasted and the greatness of that item should belong to only “Swadeshi Adda”.

Item came up with watery, no salt, not fully cooked chicken (whitish color—Yikes!) as I mentioned as spicy while ordering, I only see full of crushed green chili's,, which is awkward and smells awful.

I saw some good reviews in Google from South Indians as well and thought of giving a try.

My advice is - this restaurant is not for South Indians (especially big NO for people from Hyderabad and Andhra)

Never going to try again and...
