The cold one: Swagat

Swagat Indian Cuisine

Busy Day at work and I couldn't think of anything to eat, out of the blue I craved for an Indian food. I've heard from our Indian guests that an Indian resto is present nearby my workplace I've never been to the place as I don't usually go out but I've heard about this restaurant many times already. Swagat in Hindi language means 'welcome' it is owned by an Indian couple and they serve home-cooked meals especially cooked by the owner herself with an affordable price compared to other Indian restos. But since the ingredients are imported from India expect the food to be a little expensive and in small servings.

I was ready to order Chicken Kadai but I absent mindedly ordered murgh tandoori instead as 'twas stuck in my mind. I wanted my chicken served spicy, but when it came I was a bit disappointed as it was not spicy nevertheless it still tasted great. I love the shrimps in my biryani rice, the rice is also very tasty but not that appealing as I'm used to eating plain rice. Besides it was not as yummy as shrimp biryani with raisins and almonds of Kashmir :P

I love naan cheese bread. But their naan is not as delicious as compared to Bollywood's.

Naan or Nan originally came from Central Asia, it is a leavened bread or oven baked flatbread, another well known kind of flatbread is chapati which is flatter than naan. Nan was a general term for various flatbreads from different parts of the world. The name stems from (new) Persian, itself from Sanskrit nayan; being a generic word for bread. The bread is usually served with curry dishes.
