Great Indian & will be back in the future

My wife & I had a great evening at Swadish, on our recent visit to Glasgow. The food was excellent & fairly priced. I had the lamb byriani, that was plentiful with melt in the mouth lamb. My wife had the mango chicken, that was delicious also. The service was very nice indeed, efficient and they all seemed to know what they were doing and when to be of service. Will be back again in the future for sure.

Beautiful flavour and presentation

I chose here as I mostly eat seafood and fish and enjoy Indian cuisine. I was certainly not disappointed, will recommend highly and will definitely be returning. The menu contains an enticing range of fish and seafood dishes although there are also vegan and meat options. The service is friendly and knowledgeable. We were brought little palate cleansers of cucumber, mint and lime and started with an interesting variety of pappadoms and chutneys while we considered the menu. We went for three starters which we shared (softshell crab, tandoori salmon and spiced haddock). These were all delicious. As we finished these the friendly owner came to visit us at the table to gauge our reaction and talk to us about the principles of his cooking with fresh seasonal Scottish seafood. Our mains were stunning. We had whole bream and two of us chose the Goan monkfish curry. Portions were large but we were not left feeling we had overeaten. Desserts looked interesting but we decided not to try them this time round. A delightful and inspiring restaurant.

Innovative Indian in Merchant City

A family-run Indian restaurant which opened in 2019, Swadish offers an appetising combination of seasonal Scottish ingredients prepared using both modern and traditional Indian techniques and spices. The kitchen brigade is run by a chef who trained in many of India’s top hotel restaurants and his cooking will come as a refreshing surprise to anyone who still thinks that chicken tikka masala is the pinnacle of Indian cuisine. The setting, a former fire station, is as stylish as the food.

Vegan-friendly menus

As well as offering many fish and meat dishes, Swadish has a separate vegan menu packed with options such as the mushroom koftas served with mashed potato dumplings, chestnut mushrooms, a tomato sauce, fenugreek leaves and lotus crisps. Lamb, chicken and game choices are prominent but pride of place perhaps goes to the many fresh fish dishes. The whole tandoori seabass; banana leaf sea bream and monkfish curry all leap from the menu. Leave space for desserts like the saffron and pistachio kulfi which is garnished with dehydrated raspberries and a quinoa brittle.
