Tonight we tried Swaad Indian Cuisine in Port Charlotte and I am SO glad we did!! Everything was freshly made and the flavors we’re very pleasant on the palette. And the Tandoori Specialty Lamb Chops — WOW! They came out on a sizzling cast-iron skillet, not just visually appealing and it taste just as good! The meat had a nice char on one side and was so tender. Flavors so nice it made do a little dance in my seat 😆.

I visited here with my wife and brother. I ordered the pakoda and chicken Manchurian and it was delicious! Mango lassi is thick and not too sweet. So good. The garlic naan is THE BEST I have ever had anywhere. Vineetha and Joseph made us feel at home. If you want authentic Indian food - you gotta stop here.
