Swad Of India — Restaurant in Upland

We reserved the hall for a wedding party and wanted to use the card for a payment but The bald person Who’s In charge said he will only take cash.!! I wonder why.!? It was about $3000! Who pays $3000 in cash now a day.! Only if they wanna evade paying tax..! And because we were squeezed with time we had to go with it. And we asked to try the food they’re going to serve. So the brought us few plates as samples to try, after we tried the food we were shocked when we were asked to pay for the samples!!! We just paid you $3000 in cash for god sake.!!

The day of the wedding we went early in the morning to prepare the tables and all, to find out that they rented out the hall to other people on our wedding day.!!! Wow, when confronted the guy he said that it’s just a small party and they will be done by 2pm..!! We couldn’t believe it.. we had to wait till after noon for those people to leave. That hall was a disaster after that “small party” we had to clean their mess and prepare our tables it was total mess the hall smelled so weird. The equipments they promised to provide us barley work, we had to go buy our own. 2 tables missing from the numbers of tables we requested... I can’t say enough about this terrible, unprofessional, horrible place. The worst experience of our life. We regret doing business with these guys so much. Avoid at all costs and go...

This was my first time to Swad after seeing the rating on Google which is 4.4 stars. I had weekend lunch buffet ($14 with taxes) and honestly, I didn't at all feel like it was great food except chicken tikka masala which had soft chicken pieces.

Considering that lunch buffets are usually the marketing geek I was expecting a much better taste in food although there was a good variety. The paneer tikka masala was very tangy and palak paneer and veg pulao just had no flavor! Gulab Jamun in dessert were very dry from inside and gajar halwa had a weird bitter taste. I am hoping not to fall sick after eating that! I even gave my feedback to one of the servers there and he said yes the taste may fluctuate from time to time. I think customers come back for consistent taste!

Just a side note, they do have 2 banquet halls which are pretty decent in size and ambience but what's the point of having a function there when the food is not up to the mark! It would be great if they can do...

We came here for the lunch buffet and there are not a lot of choices for Indian food in this area. The price might seem a little high but note that drinks (lots of choices, including soda, mimosa, and even lassi) are included, which isn't typical for most buffets. Also note that the buffet is several dollars higher on the weekends, so come on a weekday for the best deal. We went early and were the only customers so seating and service was not an issue. I have been to many Indian buffets and I would say that this place measures up, I wasn't disappointed in the selection of dishes. There was plain rice as well as excellent biryani. There were several chicken dishes and a goat curry, plus several vegetarian dishes, a small selection of dessert, and a salad bar. I liked almost everything I tried, and the garlic naan was a standout, freshly made, hot out of the oven. This is a solid choice if you're looking for an...
