Swad Of India - Oakland

Literally get this at least +3 times a month. The food is AMAZING. Me and my family really enjoy the Butter Chicken, tikka masala, with Garlic Naan and rice. if you LOVE mangoes like me the Mango lassi IS SOOOOO GOOD reminds me of a drink my culture lol

Tasty food made from scratch. we had chicken tikka and aloo gobi both spicy.

I expected more from this restaurant, but it fell short on my expectations. They do have certain items that are incredible like the Samosa and the tea, but its the curries and breads that failed to satisfy my taste buds. The Dal Makhani didnt seem freshly prepared, just felt very heavy going down. Last time I ordered a Roti, and this time a Naan, but both times it looked the same bread; too tough, too thick and cold! The Gajar Halwa is very fancily garnished but the carrots themselves seemed liked they had been steamed way too long to cut down on the cooking time. All in all, rather disappointing fare!

The veggie dishes Bhindi Masala and Aloo Gobi were very flavorful. The Chicken Tikka Masala was good, not the best, but there were also only 6 small pieces of chicken in the whole dish but hopefully I just got a poor laddle, nothing to hold against them.

This was the best Indian food Ive had in Bay Area. Chef was so nice. He makes fresh food all from scratch. Fingers licking food. Must try.
