Every time we come to Auckland we make an effort to eat at Swadesh.
Fantastic food, Always a highlight.
I eat Indian cuisine at every opportunity and always look forward to Swadesh.
Beautiful food.. Lovely atmosphere...Friendly staffEspecially Brunch.. Great deal.. South India in Auckland... Can't wait to go back again...
Fantastic food.Friendly Service. Nice ambience.Highly recommended.
Me and my wife have just came with this spacious, attractive location and a perfect eatery place of mt.roskill. I would like to say a very friendly nature by owner as well good welcoming staff. We actually ask to owner for suggestion regarding main course & he guided us well and we ate "paneer tikka masala"
And" dal makhani "with rice. Awesome food and amazing taste i haven't ate any where in auckland. We ll come again and again. Well staff and owner keep it up
Takeaways tonight due to renovations at home. We have dined in previously and enjoyed. Monday night special $11.90 mains, food was very tasty with plenty of meat in both the chicken and lamb dishes we ordered. Roti an garlic naan were also nice and soft and individually wrapped in tun foil to keep them piping hot for the journey home. Will definitely be back.
When I received the information for a party on 31 Dec, I was bit hesitant to go after reading the reviews on net. However under peer pressure I did not have choice but to go. I was surprised to find nice selection of delicious food, the Kebabs were the best, I have ever eaten. Very Friendly staff. I was so impressed that I went back within a weeks time. This time around also I found food quality was good, staff was friendly and efficient. I would have no hesitation to recommend this restaurant to any body.
Swadesh offers an excellent South Indian buffet @12.00 and as usual it was good. Surprised to see it empty when I entered around 12.00noon. But within half an hour it was nearly full. Excellent service. Must try!
Had takeaway curry from here.
The rice was awesome. Lamb Rogan Josh was tasty but way more sauce than meat! Pricing is ok but please add a bit more meat next time.
Today I went for vegetarian buffet with my wife. We both enjoyed the food quality and variety. There were 7 items plus tea and coffee. It was reasonably priced. We find this place value for money.
Swadesh should maintain the quality.
It is one of the best Indian restaurants in Auckland. We are a big fan of their South Indian buffet on weekends!!! We visit every Saturday: absolutely love it!!!
Service is warm & professional. Prices are standard like any other place, but quality makes it worth!
It was a great and pleasant experience for my boys and I. We loved the food, service was nice and clean. It felt as if we were in India. Keep up!
Thank you:)
Been here 4 times and I love the food especially the palak paneer, great cusotmer service and good value for money. Keep up the good work , this my new spot for takeaways
As a recently-opened Indian restaurant I've driven past a few times during the past month and wondered what the food is like. I am usually hesitant to trying new restaurants. I decided to take my wife there for dinner, who is also an Indian food lover.
The moment we walked in we were greeted by who I suspect was the restaurant manager, who was courteous, warm and welcoming. We were seated by the corner as per my request.
Wow what a menu. Me and my partner took 10-15mins to see the menu they made. We haven't seen menu design like Swadesh in New Zealand.
We ordered a Butter Chicken and Chicken Tikka Malasa, with Garlic Nans, and were quite impressed when they arrived to the table within 10 or so minutes of the order being taken. The food was glorious, very tasty and good quality. From the very first bite, me and my wife looked at each other and nodded in agreement by the superb taste of the food. The Garlic Nans were also very fresh and tasty, with a perfect amount of fresh garlic and butter rubbed over the bread, and worked well with the meal.
After a few minutes, the manager walked over and asked us if we were enjoying our meals and we told him it was excellent. I like restaurants that do that because they care about customer satisfaction and itMore presents an opportunity for the customer to raise an issue (if need be), however, of course we didn't need to do that as we were delighted with the food and service.
My partner and I are thrilled to have found such a great Indian restaurant so near to home and will definitely be going back.
We bought a voucher deal to try out this restaurant.
Well worth every $$$
1st Dec.. 1st day of summer we thought we'd use the voucher for our date night ..
Restaurant is modern, well lit and clean.
The staff are very polite and helpful... lovely atmosphere..
I watched as a family arrived with a little one... staff were quick to bring a high chair and make sure all ok for them...will definitely recommend to friends with children..
the food was excellent my favourite Chicken Tikka Masala was probably the best I've tasted in NZ since moving here nearly 10 yrs ago... very generous entrée portions... which made eating the mains a bit of a challenge for me..so some left over which we requested to take home was told we could but asked to pay $1:50 for containers.. that was ok as food was so yummy...and love left over curry for breakfast... we had the most delicious mango ice cream for dessert...
my only gripe was when we got home I went to put the remains of our meal in the fridge to find it wasn't in the bag ??no container of food?? just a couple of pieces of Naan bread?? so no yummy curry for breakfast...

Excellent food. South Indian Buffet is unbelievable at the price.The crisp dosas remind you of Indian Udupis. Simply delicious. The other snacks like chat and chinese are equally delicious and mouth-watering. Ambience is great and after a long time an Indian restaurant serving to all tastes (veg & Non-veg) and that too delicious. I have visited 4 times so far and have become a regular.

Swadesh is an excellent place for authentic Indian food. Great staff and excellent food choice. If you have not been there, you certainly are missing out on some awesome treat! Would recommend any time.
Had meal with deal vouchers, good food, good service, lovely colourful menu, would recommend, only negative was that they didn't have an alcohol license at present but was told it would be a couple of weeks before they got it
I had my son’s birthday dinner at Swadesh we all had a great night and thanks to Swadesh staff for making this a memorable day.
Best curries in Auckland, especially Lamb saag wala I never had any where in Auckland. They take some time to cook the food but its definitely worth the wait.
We needed great eating place like this in our area and finally we found best Indian Restaurant in the area. Amazing atmosphere and very spacious.
A special compliments to the owner to make such a great colour full menu I have ever seen in NZ.
Highly recommend to anyone…..we will be back soon …cheers.

SWADESH has fast become one of my favourite Indian Restaurants. I have consistently received delicious food and friendly service and it’s always speedy!
Highly recommend dining here!
This was my second visit here, this time with an extended family...i really liked the way the lighting adds up to the ambiance...the food is fantabulous especially the prawn malabari and other currys are great too. The aloo tikki chaat was over the roof. We were big in number but the staff handled our table with smile....would definately recommend it for parties and private gathering. Great food and eccentric service made my night.
One of the best Indian restaurants recently opened in Mt. Roskill area. I had been there last week. the ambiance is quiet impressive. Food is of course of great standard and a very big space for party functions.
Highly recommended....!
