Swad Restaurant — Restaurant in Greenville

Today was my first time trying Indian food so I don't have anything to compare the experience to. What I KNOW is that the food was absolutely delicious. I played it safe and got the Paneer Tikka Masala and Samosa. The samosa had the most delicious crispy layered pastry crush. The filling was a mix of potatoes and peas I guess, I'm not 100% sure. It had the most delicious array of spices, none of which I can immediately put my finger on, and a little heat. It came with a sweet and delicious dipping sauce. The paneer tikka masala was flavorful and robust. Once again I cannot put my finger on spices, because I'm unfamiliar, but the level of heat was just right and the flavor was out of this world. The restaurant was clean and decorated with an Indian flare. The wait staff or owners were super attentive and nice without being overly in my face. A little old lady brought my masala out. Made me think of a grandmother. I didn't do much investigating but my guess would be this is family owned. I really enjoyed it, would recommend it, and look forward to trying...

Worst restaurant ever!! Don't ever come to this restaurant. Absolutely waste of money. The money and time spent here felt wasted. My friends tried ordered dosas waited for around 20 minutes and then they came up to say that the dosa batter is over. One friend of mine order paneer tikka masala and naa , which was also tasteless. The naan seamed like the frozen naan made hot. The samosa chaat had a little taste that also due to the chutney. The food without onion garlic was absolute tasteless, but the regular food on the menu ordered by my friends was also a big time disappointment. The person who served was a really jolly person, none of his mistakes, but the food had absolute no taste. It felt the frozen food was cooked and provided, specially with the naan. The bhel felt like the packet bhej was poured in a bowl and served. You pay for the food and the service, and it seemed from their attitude that they are doing us a favor. Would never recommend...

I’m so glad I found this little gem!

I’ve had such a hard time finding some real authentic tasting Indian food around the WNC (Asheville) area and just so happened to be stopping in the motorcycle dealership next door for some parts. Well, as soon as I looked up Indian Restaurants near me and saw the photos of food and the dining area, I knew right away without a doubt this would be well worth it, and I was right!

I had a delicious Mysore masala dosa that took me back to when my best friend and I would ride all around town on our bikes just for fun. We’d end up at our favorite Indian place that served dosas for lunch and continue riding around talking about how good they were, and then they closed down for good 😢. After moving to NC I accepted the fact that I would never find another place like that again, or so I thought.

This is well worth the trip even from up near Asheville for a quick lunch and I hope you all enjoy the food as...
