Aloo gobi: 9.99 Rice: 3.99 Tax : 2.01 A small bowl of food without any side or drink for 15.99? Really? Even at the more ego centric sit down Indian restaurants I can get a dish, a piece of naan and a drink for about $11. I might be a lifelong Midwesterner but Id bet when it comes to Indian cuisine I happen to tease the tandoori on occasion... So with that knowledge , Lets play a game, lets see how much you are raping your customers with your ridiculous prices..... So well itemize...and Im making a batch that feeds 4, and Im being very liberal with the prices ... 4 potatoes (70 cents) 1 head of cauliflower (1.99) 2 tomatoes (40 cents) 1 onion (80) 3 tablespoons of oil (35 cents) 1 pinch of cumin seeds (15 cents) 2 tablespoons of coriander (25 cents) 2 tablespoons of cumin (25 cents) 2 tablespoons of chili powder (25 cents) 1 tablespoon of turmeric (15 cents) 1 tablespoon amchur powder (10 cents) Salt (5 cents) Enough cilantro to garnish ( 50 cents) Cup of rice (1.25) That comes out to 7.64... 7.64 for a batch of aloo gobi that will feed 4 people. Divide that up and you get $1.91!! So if I go to the store and buy the ingredients at retail price , each bowl that you sell costs 1.91 to make! WITH THE RICE!!! And you charge me $15.99???? Terrible!!!! According to most of of your reviews the food isnt even that good. So whats the deal? What a joke.. Im sure you get plenty of ignorant walk ups who think theyre getting something exotic, but theyre just a few YouTube videos away from learning to cook much better than the food your so called restaurant serves.

I had the chicken tikka Masala just literally 5 minutes ago. Worst tikka Masala Ive had the displeasure of having... way to much yogurt gave the sauce a sour taste. Chicken was way over cooked and dry. The samosa were meh very little flavor and the peas were almost raw... probably prepackaged. .. the Naan was a joke the mint chutney was way too spicy the only thing that was mildly satisfying was the papa and rice and even then it was cold... I should have gone with the gobi but I tried the Masala cause its a go to judge of a joint... Weak I have been eating authentic Indian cuisine since I was a child and have never had a worse meal. I feel like they should have paid me to eat that slop. Never again *mic drop*

I ordered a take-home aloo gobhi entree on June 4,2016 at 10 pm. After going home , I found that it was stale.So, within minutes I went back to return not expecting a poor customer service. The employee there "Javier" said the food was good and I was lying. I gave him an earful, which the entire union station was witness to. I am glad two customers there vowed never to buy food from swaad again. Worst food, worst service.zero accountability Pls do not go.

Worst Food ever! Despite so many complaints, neither the proprietors nor the authorities have taken any action against this place! Ordered 6 Veg Biriyanis(take home) only to find them spoilt - They had just reheated and packed it. When questioned they justified that it was fresh and later replaced it with Roti and a couple of curries, only to fin that one of the curries was also spoilt! Never visit this place.

Total rubbish food..... people from Popyes next door also come and meddle in between when we ordered food and even misbehaved when I was trying to return a bottle of unopened coke that I bought just a min ago but felt was overcharged .... extremely poor customer service .... I will be filing a complaint against them for abusive behavior as well

Ive gotten the Chicken Biryani several times over the last year and good every time, nice to have the yogurt sauce to temper the heat, and I like their green chutney (just ask for it) with this as well. Friendly staff, nice to have an Indian Food option in a food court.

If google allowed me to give negative rating that what this place deserves. I had a combo of matter panner(which was tasteless and gave just one tiny piece of paneer), rice n garlic naan(with no garlic). Had the worst indian restaurant experience in US.

I stopped here for lunch and got the ginger chicken and a lamb dish. The food was very good. The lady working the register offered samples of both. This is a much better option than the typical fast food places in the food court.

Do Not Deserve even a single star... -overpriced -no quality -worst Indian food ever You need to seriously reduce your price, Or increase the quality of food. Thought the waste chicken from Popeyes was used to make the dishes....

I have only tried shrimp and veg biryani here and I liked it.. this is the only Indian place nearby that I could find. Location is quite convenient. The curry options they have look very greasy so I have never tried them.

When I take Metra and have time, I always stop by Indian Swaad to check out the specials. They will also let you sample any of there items in case you are not sure what to try. The Lamb Curry is one of the best.

Do not order - they sent me spoilt Chicken Tikka Masala and then claimed that there was no problem. The cream was completely curdled and tasted awful. Scamsters. If I could give it a negative rating, I would

Worst Indian Food in Chicago.. WE ordered a plate of biriyani and another plate of dal tadka and rice. Dal Tarka was just chana dal boiled without any spice or even salt. Biriyani was spoilt and heated up.

If youre an Indian and looking for Indian food, never ever go to this place. Its the worst food I have ever had as an Indian. Its better to go for a costly place than this crackpot.

The food stinks . It looked like we were eating 5 days old food. I ordered palak panner and there was no paneer . The food is just horrible . I wish i could give ZERO rating.

The food quality is very poor. I would not suggest going there there I did not like the taste. I am sure this is not Indian food for sure.

The worst Indian food I have had, and at $13 for your normal 2 entree with rice plate, the worst value of any genre of food.

Taste of food is not good. Very expensive for the food they serve. Better to find some other place which serve Indian food

Undercooked vegetables were certainly not something I would ever appreciate. Vegetables were grossly undercooked.

The rice and bread were okay, pretty sure the chicken they use are scraps from popeyes absolutely disgusting
