| "Great seafood in heart of the country" |
14 Feb 2010 |
| Good seafood in Delhi is a hard find, but Swagath comes pretty close to making up for that. The restaurant serves a mish-mash yet authentic array of south Indian cusine- Goan, Mangalorean, Keralite, Chettinad and more. There are many seafood specialties here that you will not find elsewhere in the city. More so, only really authentic restaurants in their home town would serves these dishes. For example the Bombay Duck and fish Gassi.
The restaurant has couple levels and all laid out for some fierce eating. There is little attention to decor but its also makes it less distracting helping make the food the real star!
The place can get crowded so reservations are recommended. |

| "Old World Charm" |
14 Feb 2010 |
| As the description above reads this is one among a dying breed of Parsi cafes. Britannia continues to hold strong though being always crowded with hungry mouths.
There are three staple Parsi dishes which are also the must trys over here. They are the Berry Pulao, Patra ni machchi and Dhansak.
The place is nothing more than just an arrangement of table and chairs. But like any restaurant that banks on its food, any more effort on the decor would be wasted. In fact the bare bones ambiance sort of lends charm to this old world restaurant.
Its open only for lunch and get there early. |

| "Kabab galore!" |
14 Feb 2010 |
| Its meat meat and more meat at this restaurant. With over 20 years in the business, they seem to have perfected the art of making kababs. Succulent and just rightly spiced there is every kind of tandoori item including the Tangri and Reshmi kabab.
For lunch you can order off the menu or feast on the buffet. Either way the choices are plenty and its hard not to stuff yourself!
The restaurant has a number of branches and there is little variation.
On weekends and sometimes dinner you might need a reservation, so call ahead.

| "Upscale fine dining" |
14 Feb 2010 |
| This is no place for faint of heart, everything is big and loud, starting from the prices to the decor. There are 7 prix fix menus to choose from, varying in content and cost. All are supposedly quite interesting and good.
If you are a bit of penny pincher (like I am) try something off their al carte menu. They have great starters that require a reading of the description, especially when they are obscurely yet intriguingly named.
While the upper level serves as the dining area, its the lower level where all the fun is. The lounge is located there and is popular for its signiature drinks and cosmos.
Weekend are packed tight, so reserve or come early. |

| "Journey thru Southeast Asia" |
14 Feb 2010 |
| Borrowing from the theme of "Indiana Jones", India Jones attempts to create an adventure through the many countries in South East Asia sampling their cuisines as you pass through. Their menu is designed liked an diary and map of a traveller/adventurer.
So begin your journey with the numerous starters like the Vietnamese rolls, salads and satay. Then enter soup territory where lemon grass, soy broth and coconut milk are a plenty. When you get to the middle of your journey, there's plenty to choose from, rice, noodles, curries and more. But if you rather just get to business, order one of the platters. The Grand platter is grand and sumptuous. Large portions and an even larger variety make it quite a favorite.
There is also a teppanyaki counter tucked into this neat space.
If your wallets are deep this is a great place to dine at.
