I ate at Swad the other night and was a little underwhelmed.
I tried their Chicken Tikka, and it was fine. I think it was around $13-14 for a pretty small portion. A friend ordered the Goat Curry, and for about the same price had even worse luck. His meal was chock full of goat bones and very little meat, making it a terrible value.
I've had better Indian food in Madison, and at a much more affordable price point. I'm really confused why dinner at Swad costs so much. The portions aren't even that big!
It's a nice, intimate space and the staff members were all very nice. But for my money, I'll stick with Maharaja or Taste of India.
