Reviews for Indian Swaad in Chicago, IL
This is a WORST place. It is definitely not fresh food. They reuse it and sell them. The white rice for example is very hard and... only if you keep reheating the rice will become like that. The meats are smelling bad which means it?s old. They might bethinking it?s a train station and people would not mind for fresh food. New customers and the location are their big plus andthey are using that to provide worst food to people and making profit. Read more
Their food quality has gone down the drain. A lot of times they served me weird stuff in the name of biriyani. On top of that... they are jacking up the price. Worst quality food for the premium price. DON'T GO. Do yourself a favor and go to Klay Ovenkitchen at the French Market if you are in the mood for Indian food. N.B. I am in no way affiliated to Klay Oven. That's theonly other Indian place I can think of that's in the vicinity. Read more
Would give 0 if I could. They serve frozen food , don?t even care to heat it up properly. Worst presentation. Negative... hygiene. The food?s stale and must?ve gone bad atleast a week ago! They are not serving real food. It?s a scam to loot all yourmoney in the name of Indian food. Walked a mile to eat here. Highly disappointed! If you?re willing to walk 0.9 miles for goodIndian food, google India House. They?re amazing. Read more
I wish I could give it -ve reviews. 1 is still too high for them. I ordered samosa chat and paratha like 5 minutes ago. Paratha... was half cooked and samosa was not cooked at all. Cold, bad, stale food. I have no idea who has given them 5 start looks likethey have tried to rate themselves. Not visiting this place ever again. Read more
$3.75 for one full piece of naan. What a complete and utter rip off. Every other Indian place will give you twice as much for... half the price. The chickpea masala was $12 and arrived cold and basically unpalatable. Ordered two orders of samosas and onlyone arrived. I really want to like this place but to charge me over $50 for food and to have it be completely disappointing isunacceptable. Please do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. Read more
After surveying the different fast food restaurants around, I came here. Upon first look at the restaurant, there's a lot of... printed images of food along with captions under it trying to explain what it is. To anyone new to Indian food, I think that agood testing dish to go with is any kind of Biryani. It's basically a stirfry of the protein, rice, and spicestogether. Service for this restaurant felt pretty slow. There wasn't anyone else waiting on their dish, but it was gettingclose to rush hour again. I'm not sure if it was because I chose lamb that they decided to cook all the gaminess away from it,or it was choosing the right amount of chili oil, but I was getting pretty impatient. The food was amazing. I was coughing up afit with all the chili oil in the rice and lamb, but once I gave the green chutney a try with the lamb, the dish meshedperfectly. Between the random plum(?) seeds and some other inedible spices, I can't wait to come back to try out more Indianfood. I think I might even try out their Paneer Makhani next. Read more
This is the worst Indian food I've ever had. I don't understand how $12 only gets me 3 tiny pieces of lamb and some rice. The... taste is terrible and it feels like a total ripoff. There's a good reason why this spot has no lineup while all the otherrestaurants are busy during the peak hours. I'd give it 0 stars if that was possible. Read more
This is the worst indian place ever. I wish I could give 0 stars. The food tasted really bad and the bread have even got stale.... The curries tasted as they were almost 2 weeks old. The staff was the worst. The guy over there spoiled my container soI askedhim to give me another one as I had to carry that in the train and he started arguing with me. I had the worst experience theere. Please dont go to this place to get indian food. There are really good indian places out there which provides excellent food and service. I never ever give bad reviews but this had to be done. People need to be made aware. Read more
