Amazing food and quantity. One curry is good for 3 people. After a long time I ate good Indian food in Jersey City restaurant. I... would recommend vegetarian biryani and malai kofta. Read more

Jersey City has got its fair share of Indian restaurants and Swadist has been on my list for a while. We ordered for pick up one... Friday evening via their website. We ordered the mango lassi, chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, veggie samosa, and cheesenaan. Mango lassis were a nice complement to the meal. They look more like Thai iced teas than mango lassis but don't let thatfool you. Both the chicken dishes were great. They taste pretty similar to each other, but one is a bit creamier than the otherone (my guess is that it's the butter chicken). The veggie samosa was good too, even though I don't like peas. Dipping this ineither of the curry sauces was *chef's kiss*. But my favorite was the cheese naan (again dipping this in either sauce), whichactually tasted better the next day. When we reheated it, the cheese was so gooey and melty - I wish I had gotten a shot of thecheese pull. All of this food was enough for a second meal, as we ended up only eating half and we were already stuffed. If youdon't want leftovers, I would say that two people could definitely just share one dish + one naan, and you'd be good togo. Next time, I'd like to try their Indo-Chinese menu items, which I think is originally why I bookmarked it but I was reallycraving some tikka masala. May dine in next time so that I can try the food fresh. Read more

If you are looking for some good Delhi standard North Indian food in the area then this place should be on the top of your... list. For appetisers, We order the angara paneer which was something different and tasted great. We also ordered the malai soyachaap which took us to the street stalls from old Delhi. Amazing flavour and really soft. For the mains we got the daal makhniand paneer lababdar. The paneer was mildly spiced and not too heavy and the dal was a good makhni dal we had after a long time.They also have rumali rotis on their menu but do check with them if the chef is making them on the particular day or not. Itwon’t be the authentic rumali that North Indians are used to. It’s more of a large think roti but still tastes good. Thenaans and rotis were crisp. This place will surely remind you of home and the street style North Indian food. Read more

I went to Swadist in the middle of Nor'easter and we had entire restaurant to ourselves. Food was fresh and well prepared. We... never felt rushed to finish our meal at any point. I recommend this restaurant if you are in Jersey city and looking for Indianfood. Customer service was decent. Read more

Tried this place for the first time based on great online reviews. Ordered Raj kachori and Malai kofta for takeout. Raj kachori... didn’t even resemble a kachori, it was an empty puri with a side of mixed chutneys and filling. Malai kofta was ok, but it hadmustard seeds giving it a daal taste. Not sure what is going on here, but neither item resemble the actual food it’s meant tobe. Read more

I've tried every single restaurant in Newark ave/journal square area and I'm so glad I found this when browsing online, it's the... BEST Asian/Indian restaurant in the jersey city area.
