Swad, Desh Videsh Ka - Vegetarian Food Done Right

In this blog post, I cover Swad, Desh Videsh Ka, a new-age family restaurant in SS Plaza, Sector 47, Gurugram.

Last week I was invited for the launch of Swad, Desh Videsh Ka, a new-age family restaurant in Sector 47, Gurugram.

The pure vegetarian outlet is the brainchild of Dinesh Arora, Chief Managing Director at Eastman Colour Restaurants, who is one of the most successful restaurateurs in Delhi NCR right now, known for his hit entrepreneurial ventures like the Unplugged Courtyard and La Roca.

If you're visiting Swad for the very first time, start with a Bowl of Greens. Assorted green leaves with cucumber curls, olives, cherry tomatoes, and Bhakarwadi in a signature house dressing. Surprisingly, the Macaroni Salad did not work for me! I felt the lemongrass sweet-chili dressing was a wee bit overpowering.

In Starters, you will love the Mushroom Galouti Vol-Au-Vent, which is a mushroom pate on a french pastry disc with Chundu pickle dip.

Another winner was the Amritsari Paneer Tikka, which was perfectly marinated with a classic North Indian chili spice mix and served with pickled onion and mint chutney.

In Desserts, try the piping hot Suji Halwa (or Jalebi with Rabri) that'll take you back to your mother's kitchen, where love was always served with a smile!

An enticing and finely curated mocktail menu adds to the charm of the place.

The fusion theme of Swad is well represented with the chef station adorning neon signage "bavarchi" and a hashtag wall saying "swadanusar". This wall is particularly appealing to Millenials who are always on the hunt for a perfect photo opportunity.

Catering to an all-age audience, Swad is all about surprising with a modern twist but maintaining an essence of tradition.

True to its name, Swad, Desh Videsh Ka intends to go international yet remaining desi at its core.
