Great value for money and decent quality food. They also serve nice buffet inside. <br/><br/>We also tried samosa. It was big size decent samosa.

I've been ordering from swadist for the past few years. And I can't believe I've never reviewed them. They have the best veg food. Breakfast lunch and dinner items are all yum. Their chaats are so tasty. I recently tried their idli chilli OMG. Once in a while it's available but OMG the idli chilli is so good.

I recently heard about Swadist from a friend and decided to give it a try. We ordered their chaat (bhel puri, samosas, pav bhaji and missal pav). The chaat was very good, upto the mark I'd say. Had their Goli Baje and it's a must try! We also tried their desserts, jalebi and sheera, it was a real standout if you have a sweet tooth. So if anyone's looking for good chaat/evening snacks and good value for money then this is a place to try!

Group of friends have decided on a breakfast trail. Swadist was second on the list. <br/>Typical road side food. Sat outside as the weather was good. Our server was quite engaged and chatty. Even took a good joke.<br/>Food was a sampling that we all shared. Medhu wada, puri bhaji, Misal Pao and rava masala dosa. All were yummy. The potato bhaji was a bit watery in consistency not taste. Overall enjoyed.<br/>Filter coffee came in a bit sweet.

I have noticed swadist many times but never visited until recently when I was looking for new places that serve pav bhaji. The ambience is non existant and better to take away or order. The pricing on the other hand was very affordable and the taste was superb and filling.

A great place for those evening snacks before dinner. They prepare a range of fried snacks, which include pakodas, vada pavs, bhajias, soya cubes and much more.<br/><br/>No doubt my favourite here for years has been the vada pav. The chai is a great hit too.<br/><br/>Even their more substanial food like, roti and sabzi or dal chawal is a good deal for those who love homely vegetarian food.<br/><br/>

There were times when I frequented to this place 5 days a week ans yet never reviewed or uploaded any pictures. After a long time I went to this place yesterday with a new-to-dubai colleague of mine. The food is simply delicious and reminds you of local Indian restaurants back home. The menu is the least priced menu in Dubai and this is pure veg restaurant. TBH, you have to adjust with the ambience.

This was our last day in Dubai and were in at around 10.30 am (local time) and entered as at that time the nearby Manisha's Kitchen was closed for lunch (and had only snacks available). But this one served full meals even at 10.30 am. We ordered 2 full meals and 2 chapati sabji combos.... Luckily we had Undhiya as a option (strangely undhiya was without any muthiya!!,).... any way the thali's were good with decent portions and we all enjoyed our meals.

Order during the previous meal if you want them to deliver the next meal. Ordered dinner and even after 1.5 hours they didn’t deliver. <br/>Moreover Zomato said twice in a gap of 15 mins i.e. half hour “rider is in your area and expect the order to be delivered in few minutes”<br/><br/>Ironically this is Zomato exclusive and they claim to be helping people who are unwell by prioritizing their order. <br/><br/>To people - please don’t rely on these people, you may get some serious problems due to starving.

I normally order from swadisht on weekends through zomato,as they serve weekend specials like sajige bajil or Padengi bajil (both Mangalorean dish) from here. Even,evenings they have some good snacks,chats & Dosa's. Try Dabeli and Masala Dosa, even the paneer burji is excellent over here.I recommended if you are looking for reasonable Veg restuarant,then you should try Swadist@karama.

Next a batata vada, okish not great cz i feel their backgrnd is south indian so tryng north dish will be a bit dffrnt taste. Again it wasnt bad! Last had a mysore masala dosa and it was very very yummmyyyy. Hats off to the reasonable bill i got. All this at 20dirhams only. And trust me the pav bhaji and dosa was worth every single penny!

Being a good cook myself; plus, very particular about taste and flavor very very hard to find good restaurant that can match up to my expectation. This place truly meets my expectations in terms of taste, flavor and Mumbai style food; plus, it exceeds above in terms of price and service as well. I have tried south Indian dishes, pav bhaji, Punjabi food...So far everything I ate was delicious, only Chinese was slightly below expectation but better than many expensive Chinese serving restaurants.

Super fresh and tasty kolige is one of my favourite dishes from Swadist! They make limited quantity every Thursday morning, make sure to try it fresh out of the kitchen. Takes you back to rainy mornings in Mumbai. Can't wait to try more dishes!
