Swagath in Slough

We booked this restaurant because the menu published online seemed to have a lot of dishes we’d never seen before. We were staying in an air b&b nearby and we didn’t know the area so we were taking a chance wherever we booked. As it happens we hit the jackpot. As we waked in we noticed that just about every customer was Asian which is a good indicator that the food will be authentic. We were greeted warmly and shown to our table. We ordered dishes that were new to us all and every one that came out was incredible. The portion sizes were large too so we ended up with doggy bags. There was absolutely no way a single mouthful of this food was going to be wasted. My only regret is that the restaurant is too far from my home in Essex for me to visit regularly but if I am in the slough area I will be back like a shot. Highly recommended

Really very delicious food as well as staff behaviour very gud👍🏻❤️ i wishh to everyone for visit there and enjoy a delicious food🙏🏻.

Whilst on an overnight stay in Slough, we wanted to eat somewhere different and came across this place. Seemed very quiet when we arrived but we were welcomed and seated quickly. It soon became apparent they were very busy with takeaway and delivery and a few other tables soon arrived. Menu was huge and full of variety, a random Chinese page seemed a little odd! We had a few surprises, such as poppadoms came with a mint yoghurt and chutney but no onions and lime pickle which we are used to - maybe this is more authentic. Also, no various rice options such as mushroom rice, keema rice, garlic rice, just boiled rice and various fillet rice dishes between £7 and £15 - again not really a negative but not what we are used to. We had a Paneer Biriyani and it was AMAZING! In terms of taste and flavour, it was possibly one of the nicest curry’s we have ever had. Was disappointed to see a 10% service charge on the receipt after we paid, it wasn’t pointed out but I should have checked. If in the area, I’d visit again for sure

My husband and dad and I fancied dosa and we decided to give Swagath a try. From when we first arrived the service was great, Somiya our waitress really explained any questions we had. My husband had the chili chicken which I tried a little bit if and it was delicious, very different to anything I've had before and my dad and I tried the chili bhajiya and they were yum and hit the spot. Our mains we ordered the traditional masala dosa and I also ordered the hot chutney dosa, both were delicious and all the food was really good and perfect portions. We will be coming back with the rest of the family, just what we needed home cooked food made with love.

I wanted a masala dosa and found Swagath online and decided to try. The masala dosa was massive and I also ordered a tadka dal. The gentleman serving me wondered if it might be too much and that it comes with masala already. I thought that was nice of him as it is a lot of food, but I was starving!! Both were great and I shall certainly be going back. Staff very pleasant and welcoming. I forgot to take some photos ……

This is a great South Indian restaurant for dinner. My wife and I went for our anniversary recently. We had chicken samosas to start. These arrived as 5 small pieces in wonderfully flaky pastry, with a tasty filling of minced chicken and vegetables, spiced with some chilli. We both ordered curries. My wife's fish curry featured the whole fish fillet, covered in a curry sauce. I had a lamb rogan josh, which was smothered in a rich curry sauce. The sauce was given extra bunch with the addition of some bamboo pieces - a touch that reminds of south-east Asian food rather than Indian cuisine, but really worked. This may be the best rogan josh I've ever had. These were accompanied with a keema nan and a cheese nan. Both were light, fluffy, and tasty. The staff were attentive throughout, providing excellent customer service and taking care of us well. I'm already plotting to go back and check out the Indo-Chinese fusion noodle dishes on the menu, as this establishment seems to have a great touch when blending different cuisines and ingredients.

Absolutely amazing food. Authentic, tasty and fabulous service. Please check this little hidden, food gem out people.

Extremely Delicious authentic south indian variety of food we had, staff very friendly and helpful especially Sandly, Will defintely visit soon, although we are far far away.

Friends and I went here following a pub crawl along the Elizabeth line. From our side of London - East - we are more used to Bangla Deshi food, so this was something different. The dish I ate, chicken kadai(?) was spicy. My friend had a dosa, which looked interesting, others had birianis. The food tasted good, a bit too much rice. It was odd not having side dishes to order. Perhaps that is the norm in South Indian restaurants. The service was prompt and the price reasonable, about £24 a head, including drink. Not bad. If I see dosas on a menu anywhere again, I will order that

We had a very warm welcome by Mrs Rodrigues of Goa. Even it was near closing time was served excellent food. Great value for money

As an African out on leisure, we decided to try something new and went to this Indian restaurant. We ordered different meals and can tell you for a fact that the meals were super enjoyable and delicious. The family and I sure had a great and memorable dinner. My 5 years old has added Indian cuisines to the meals she will continue to eat henceforth. 😂 The staff were also pleasant and kept checking to know if we needed anything. Great restaurant!

We popped in on Saturday evening on the off chance that they might have a table for 3. The staff were very friendly and welcoming - The place was buzzing with locals and the host made you feel like you were dining at her home. We ordered 2 mutton biryanis and a mild chicken korma. We also wanted ice and they went out of their way to get us ice! You don't get this kind of service anywhere. The food came and it was fresh, tasty with tons of flavour. The portions were so ver generous that we had to take a portion home with us! The peshwari naans were so fresh. The host was very tuned into all the patrons needs going out of her way to make sure ever single person was comfortable and satisfied. What a lovely atmosphere - with music playing in the background and a buzzing vibe this is definitely the place you want to visit for your next trip to Slough! Outstanding

Very friendly service and delicious tasting food. I particularly recommend the dosa. We went at lunch time.

Authentic taste on traditional served on banana leave.Good quality thali with lots of variety to choose. Differently recommended to friends.

Yesterday me and my family had tried Swagath’s food for the first time at a birthday event. Firstly, the catering service was AMAZING. All dishes were fresh and beautifully cooked. My favourite was the chilli chicken and biryani! I highly recommend you to visit Swagath and try their food because it is without doubt an amazing restaurant! Definitely going to try their food again!

Absolutely delicious dosas, podi idli, sambhar rice and warm service that we visited twice in 2 weeks. The hot and spicy masala dosa is a must try. The sambhar is almost perfect!

It is a very good place to eat quite busy at the lunch time and dinner but the food quality is excellent, the service are good too very friendly and smiley. I recommend this place to those how really like South Indian food

Excellent service . Tasty Dosa . I come regular here for Dosas . Tired all dosas but my fav is Guntur Dosa. It is very clean restaurant and servers are very good and always smiling . I highly recommend it for dosa .

Tried to book for a business dinner 6 days out from our trip. Was told they don’t take bookings that far out from the date. So, instead, I booked 48 hours prior as per their instructions. When we arrived the place was 60% full but...

We went craving for a standard and masala dosa and masala chai, absolutely not disappointed. Prices are very reasonable and can imagine almost cheaper to drop in here a few evenings compared to cooking at home. Not a fancy ambiance place for special occasions but great as an every day fix for the amazing South Indian veg menu. Try it once at least!

I have now been twice to Swagath, both times for brunch and not been disappointed. Crispy dosa, delicious vada and spicy/ tangy sambar. I was told that the chef is from Tamil Nadu. The staff are friendly and the food came quickly on both occasions,...

Saturday we decided to have dinner after checking with restaurant by calling them before, booking a table for 9pm. They show closing time on Google as 10 but when called they said, its 9.30 pm. When we reached, there wasn't table available immediately. After 5...

Very reasonably priced, freshly made Indian food. We enjoyed it a lot . We will surely visit again and again . Very authentic taste

When we planned to go to this Swagath restaurant in Slough, we were sceptical but once we ordered our food it just took us back to India and with real Indian tastes. We were 7 of us from age group of 87 to 16 and...

Good food, nice atmosphere. After a days travelling and sightseeing it was a welcome place to rest and refuel.

I called in alone for a lunch over Bank Holiday. Only one table remaining as it was very popular, I had one of the dhosas and another dish ( I forget the name). Quick friendly service, extremely tasty food and very reasonable price (£10.49 to...

Without a doubt, the best traditional South Indian curry I've ever tasted. Spicy, tasty cuts of meat, Dosa to die for. The best recommendation I can give is that we were the only none Indian heritage people in the place. Well worth a visit and...

very low quality food and extremely slow service.. ordered a ghee roast, once could smell the over fermented batter.. after sometime, the dosa became very hard like a door mat... the set dosa was two mini uttapam , again tasteless.. the chutneys were bland and...

I was recently staying at the Copthorne Hotel and I asked them for a recommendation Indian that I could walk to. I am a seasoned traveler but I have to say this is the best southern indian cuisine, authentic, that I have experienced in the...

I was craving dosa and this restaurant was great! The masala dosa was so tasty I really enjoyed it. The young girl serving was very polite and really made the whole experience enjoyable.

I loved it. The food here is quite good and the service is quite good too. Recommended if you are staying at a hotel located in the area on a quick flying visit. Definitely try the egg fried rice that is served here and sip...

Great quality food. My whole family enjoyed their individual choices. We’ve been here twice since they took over from masala dosa. They’ve improved on an already exceptional restaurant. The price is also very good value. I plan to continue returning and recommend to all of...

Very bad customer service. It took over 5 days for them to get back to me about my order. The Batura was very oily and inedible. Definitely avoid as if any issue arises to the food, they do not know how to deal with it...

Visited them on July 2 2021 afternoon and ordered couple of items, one of it was rava masala dosa. Got a hair in dosa which was stuck to the batter. Staff was unapologetic and in fact billed me for dosa with hair. I was looked...

Good Food, food was just amazing. Nice Ambience Must Try : Chilli Prawns, Raju Gari Kodi Pulao Sudeep was very attentive, he suggested us about the house specials, which turned out to be really good, rightly calls if it takes more time. Checked frequently if...

As we heard the food was good we asked them to do the catering for my fortieth birthday party. IT WAS EXCELLENT ! Very good service, lovely people, very generous with the food and the price was reasonable. So much food everyone took home a...

Horrible experience this evening, no courtesy and utter arrogance. Deliveroo and online deliveries seem to be their priority over direct takeaways. I went to the restaurant to order takeaway at 8:15pm as the landline phones were constantly busy, I was let inside to order takeaway...

As soon as we sat on the table this manager walks in and shouts if I was Rajesh and I politely said no then she walks off without further conversation. Ordered mirchi bajji, chicken fry and chilly garlic fish. First bite of mirchi bajji A...

The food was amazing! I can't eat very spicy food and asked the chef to make the dishes less spicy. He was such a great guy and helped me with that. The staff was very attentive. It's the perfect place for an authentic indian night.

We had been to Swagath on 26 Oct 2020 and let me start by clarifying that food was excellent. The review is terrible owning to their waitress,as soon as she seated us she looked at me and asked how did i put on weight 🤨....

no social distancing in seating arrangement service delay due to overcrowding some waiters not wearing masks

Amazing food, very nice And would defo recommenced. Lots of amazing staff. I’m very satisfied Love it 😀

Great! Delicious and great staff good service good atmosphere good food great staff and a nice place for us too eat there is no wait and staff are friendly but not too bad.

Great service and can recommend the chicken tikka masala and dosa. Plenty of seating downstairs. Nice service

Very nice food definitely will come again and staff was very nice and considerate and also the management was excellent

Where to start 🤔 Visited restaurant for late dinner, I was served by polite but quite smelly waiter , to be honest that put me bit off as its not good first sign. I recived quite impressive menu and it took me a while to...

I’ve been coming here for since it first opened and I continue To this day. I’ve brought my 90 year old dad, family and friends(the desai’s and Europeans have both loved it.)It’s Always my go to when I need an authentic Indian meal. The staff are great, very attentive and courteous.

Ruined my valentines night Poor service More interested in serving just eat & deliveroo orders over your patrons in the restaurant No atmosphere Chaotic scrambling from kitchen to restaurant orders messed up 99.9% of diners complained about one thing or another My samosas were cold on the inside I was given an alternative without checking with me 1st food we ordered parts was missing we was given no plates or cutlery had to ask repeatedly If I hadn’t already paid via groupon I would have left also where the restaurant was located I had to pay for parking thinking a 2hr ticket would suffice we had to extend our ticket I wouldn’t bother dining here again I’d order online as they are given priority only saving grace was the food was good

Menu really confusing. Waiter lovely . Food was just okay but meal was spoilt when I saw filthy toilet

I've been a fan of south Indian cuisine for years but it can be hard to find locally. Swagath appears fairly unassuming to look at but the food is excellent. At first I was worried that the extensive menu would mean not fresh but have no fear, it is like home cooking. Mango lassi, a fantastic masala dosa that looks impressive, tastes light and perfectly textured, with tasty filling and good sambar. Today I also had lamb dum biryani which was absolutely delicious, but so big I had to take half home with me. Last time I had king fish curry. Nice staff and fresh home cooked food. You will leave satisfied and only pay £20. My new favourite place for dosai.

I have been here couple of times. This is my first time since the venue is taken over by another owner and named it SWAGATH. We have been waiting for more than 45mins for our order of POORI MASALA, CHOLE BATURA AND 2 COKE. They are so focused on continuously serving a table of 12 (family). There are 3 waiter and all attending one single table. While there are 5 other tables waiting to order and be served. I had to remind the waiter to get our coke he completely forgot about it. One table cancelled and left after waiting longer than us. If you can’t handle 20 people. Than you should put a limited seating and refuse the people that come after. At least they won’t have to suffer more for hunger and go to another place. If you cant serve the variety than reduce the menu. My wait is longer than and hour now. For just 2 dishes. Very disappointed and would not visit again no matter.

Not a preferable place, Not a good service, every visit is disappointing. I had been there twice. When asked, they will say everything is available, and once you order they will say it is not available. This happened TWICE to me. I will never ever visit again.

We had a group on voucher for 2 starters and 2 mains but had to take the other main away as the portions were massive. The food is very tasty and I'll be going back again. Good value for money too

Decided to visit Swagath as it was relatively new. Having been to this location when it was Chennai Dosa we thought we knew what to expect.We went in and were left standing while other customers were being served. One of the staff members pointed to a table from behind the bar but we decided to sit at another table, which we had to clear ourselves as no one came.We waited a while before stopping a waiter to ask for menus. We decided to get some starters before looking into the mains.We decided on Chole Bature and chilli pepper chicken.We were given the chole bature and had to ask for the other starter before being given it.We were given no plates to eat in nor any cutlery until we asked for them.

I came here after working in Slough for a few days just before Xmas. I had walked passed a few times on way back to hotel and the decor made it look entriging. A friend called to say he was in town n do I fancy a curry. We arrived around 8pm and the restaurant was around half full. Popadums n pickles were ordered with two Cobras. They were so light n fresh, tender lamb chops followed with a huge pancake thing stuffed with turmeric mashed potato that I had never seen or heard of before, which also came with four dips absolutely lovely. We then had Chicken Tika served with a beautiful wild rice. It was so different from Indian restaurants I have been to before. All the food was wonderful and served by smiling happy staff who explained all the dishes to us. Great evening would recommend this place to anyone. Will definitely be back next time I am in area.

I wanted to contain my 'excitement' of finding a good south indian restaraunt for until I have seen consitentcy of taste at different occassions. So this is a review after a proper 15-20 visits - with various different combinations of going with my family/ indian friends and my western friends. so this is review is based on broad feedback1. Speciality food - You will find a big menu with good options across veg & non-veg dishes from Telugu states of South India. The names of dishes will puzzle you as there are some items that are even specific to cities within these states.2. Quality, Quantity, Price - I've tasted about 10-15 dishes and my rating is 4.5/5. The quality of each dish is of pivtol importance to management and they are delivering on it. Quantity - totally 5/5. Prices are quiet reasonable for the quantity and quality delivered.3. Some Must eats - Cut Mirchi, Gobi 65, Chole Batura (yes, you heard it right.. it is super good hear), Chilli Paneer, Paneer Biryani, Guntur Karam Dosa, Schezwan Noodles (yes they do Chindian food as well)...and do not miss the VEG THALI (Guess what they give gobi manchurian for a starter !) ..one of my friend has given a 9/10 for a chicken biryani and other non veg items he ate for example (Vs. those eaten in Hounslow she gave just gave 6)Overall a very good place where the taste and flavours are lipsmacking. For my Western and North Indian friends - This is a proper Telugu Cuisine ( a specific and mostly unexplored cuisine in Britain)

Our South Indian friend took us here for lunch and the food was fanstastic - great authentic flavours and spice. Awesomely giant puri with my chickpeas which was truely a delight. Would definitely hands down recommend. Great variety of Vegan options also which a big plus from me.

An enjoyable meal because of the food, but it took a long time to be served, and dishes arrived in an order we didn’t expect.

Got food delivered from Swagath for my daughter's birthday. The food was amazing and all the guests loved it. Good thing is they delivered it on time, and food is still hot.

Me and my family friends visited this place Wednesday for the dinner and the service was good and mango lassi was really nice. Food came to the table shortly and it was really tasty. We really enjoyed the food and would like to say thank you to the front and back of the house team of this place.

Hello to all Readers and to all staff @ Trip

The restaurant itself looks a bit more like a cafe than a restaurant but is clean and tidy. Clearly the main audience is the local Indian population (the menu had no explanation of the dishes but they did explain them to us). Our waiter struggled with English but the manager/owner and even the chef helped. Some interesting dishes—all seemed home cooked rather than a bland sauce slipped over ant given meat. Would definitely try the excellent dosas next time.

Came here after passing the Indian street food place round the corner which looked empty. This restaurant however was packed with Indian/Shri-Lankan couples and families so we knew it was a good sign. Waiters were very friendly and welcoming and the food was out of this world! Very unusual menu, ideal if you’re looking for something different and authentic. I’m so sorry it’s taken this long to leave you a review but I couldn’t remember the restaurant name! Will definitely be back next time we are in Slough.

great food and service!! ordered variety of vegeterian food and we loved everything we ordered. biryani and dosa being the exceptional

The staff are especially friendly helping with the choices on menu. food very authentic and was on our table within 10-15 minutes. All dishes were hot, looked great and tasted fabulous.

Enjoyed a great meal with the family. Cosy atmosphere with top notch service. delicious flavorful food prepared by chef Sandylee. All of the items we ordered were great, especially the lamb biriyani and dosas. Great value for money. Definitely coming back.

I won’t recommend this restaurant

This restaurant is possibly the closest one to the Travelodge I was staying in, and as we had had a busy day and didn't want to venture too far, so tried here.

Authentic South Indian cuisine .very nice and quiet ambience.service was very quick.Sandlee was very very helpful*****

We came here and had Masala Dosa and we were really impressed Lovely fresh Dosa and the chutneys were really tasty too

Turned up expectantly! Yep turned away at 9.08 despite the signs saying it was open and the website saying they were open.

Previously Chennai Dosa, this restaurant is now under new management and the Dosa's have doubled in size!

Being South Indian I enjoy spicy food and I have to say the food is fabulous with so much to choose from.

I have been there 2 times already in last 2 weeks and as the title says, the food here is amazing at very reasonable price. We tried Masala Dosa and the chutney that comes along with it is simply yumm. Although it shows itself as South Indian restaurant, we tried Schezwan Noodles as well and again we loved it. Lastly we thought of trying Paneer tikka masala and to my surprise it was very good as well.

New in town but excellent food. Best taste of Indian food away from it’s native land. Can’t say anymore. Highly recommended.

Three of us ate there one evening on business. Quite un-fancy in appearance but crikey the food was excellent and really good value. We had pops, mains, sides and drinks and it was under £50. Bargain

A must try restaurant for authentic Indian food. Excellent food, attentive staff. A big shout out to chicken biryani lovers. Biryani was so delicious, refreshing taste.

I should say, this is by far the best Indian food served in UK. Had been many restaurants where bland Indian food was sold as authentic Indian.
