Swagat

In food, as in all things, context is key, which is why a visit to Swagat was unexpectedly delightful. When we want great Indian food, we usually head here. But the next time we're uptown with a craving for samosas, we'll be back here for textured aloo tikki, heavily spiced vegetarian samosas, tangy kaju califlower (even if this was missing the promised cashews), and the nicely balanced sauce-to-dumpling ratio in the mali kofta. Don't let the modest pictures fool you: there wasn't much left to truck downtown at meal's end.
