[missse22]

As I sit here munching my indian take away, I realise they really do need a recommendation!! Love this place, absolutely delicious food, wonderful manager very rewarding to loyal customers, time that I have eaten in and had my kids with me they have been so friendly to my two young sons, and even the delivery guy is a true gent!

Just thought I'd share :)

One visit was enough for me, first lot of chicken tasted off, second lot was also off, guess it was to be expected with all the dishes placed in the window cooking with the sun blaring on them, not a lot of choice, staff were ignorant, was still charged for full buffet although I only ended up having 1 popadom.

Ah I dont go for the buffet. I always order from the main menu.

[missse22]

Saying that I did eat off the buffet for the first time on mothers day. And the buffet was not in the window so maybe they have moved it to keep out of the sun? None of the food was off, although yhe choice of food was small. I will definitely always order from the menu from now on.

Sunday buffet... asking for trouble.

I love Swadesh tooooooo. We have had takeaway for the last two years and always GREAT. We tried other Indian takeaways but always come back to Swadesh.

Buffet???? I can only say: there you go! you want cheap you get cheap.

DON PEPITO ARE YOU SAYING THAT THIS INDIAN has 2 different quality standards buffet is cheaper well I WOULD NEVER GOT TO ANY RESTAURANT THAT HAD double standards. YOU DONT KNOW WHAT THEY WILL COOK YOU

THINK ABOUT IT

Swadesh is a firm favourite, the people running it are lovely and the food is delicious and extremely good value (not even tried the buffet). Can't understand why its not packed.

[ken78]

any restaurant thats very good should be packed, KirstyH have you asked your self why it's not packed ???

[DulwichFox]

Its not packed for the simple reason it does not sell alcohol

or allow diners to bring their own.

Curry Club don't go there because of the lack of alcohol sales and the refusal to allow people to take their own. If they at least allowed the latter then we would be back.

[missse22]

Exactly as DulwichFox says they don't sell alcohol and don't do allow BYO

I'm T Total so it doesn't bother me in the slightest, I'm happy with a non alcoholic beer!

I looooove swadesh!!! Lol

[KidKruger]

Ironic that a curry club will refuse a curry house based on alcohol.

I totally understand why but there's something about it which is unfortunate.

It was never packed even before it stopped selling alcohol, although the food was indeed good. No idea if it still is.

There was previous discussion about this on the forum, if memory serves, and the concensus seemed to be that it was rarely anywhere near full because it was a bit out of the way, in a less frequented part of Lordship Lane.

We haven't been back there since they imposed the alcohol ban, though.

When I went, the food was really good. Best I have had in ED so far. Sadly, it wasn't that busy. When I went, it felt a bit like a canteen, bare painted walls. Felt that it lacked cosiness of some indian restaurants.

Not been for a while, so it may have changed, got busier? Shame about the no alcohol rule. If you run a business, and don't cater to the needs of your customer, then your business may suffer.

If you go for a buffet, you need to go to a place that is busy, I go to Dulwich Tandoori, which has quicker turnover of food.
