Fantastic as always! 1. Tandoori Chicken is tender and flavorful, and 4. Chicken Mango goes hard on the sweet/savory combo I love, and the chicken falls apart easily with the side of a spoon.

The chicken chunks were huge, kind of made it difficult to eat lol. The menu was unclear of if rice came with the entrees so I ordered extra, and it was also unclear with how much naan came with one order. I will get Swad again because it's the only Indian place close to us, but I have had better in Madison

Grabbed a variety to try, and it was all very delicious. A bit too salty for my tastes, but just need to add more rice. Mango Lassi was thick and tangy, also not too sweet which I liked. The 8. Mixed Vegetarian Platter was all nicely battered and the chutneys that came with it were perfect to pair with. The samosa was probably my favorite out of all of them. The 12. Combo Basket surprised me since I thought I would like the garlic naan best, but the peshwari naan ended up being my personal fav, the stuffed naan coming in second. They were a bit burned which was a shame, but I did order close to closing so it was understandable especially when I ordered so much. The Gulab Jamun was good but kinda tasted tougher than I'm used to. The Rasmalai was also just fine.

Great quantity. Warm spices, mushrooms have good texture, chicken in larger than bite size pieces and not over cooked.

Their chilly chicken typically reminds me of indian chinese street food. All the flavors are so well blended, it just makes me crave for more n more each time. Swad is the best indian food in the city. Simply amazing!
