Swagath Gourmet - Hamilton Township

First time coming to this place. The staff was friendly and the food was served quickly. Rawa masala dosa, chutneys and Sambar were delicious. However I would suggest to make the size of vada a bit bigger and not like an onion ring. The dahi vada was more like buttermilk vada but the taste was good. Not criticizing but providing constructive feedback.

Best vegetarian food, I have eaten in any Indian restaurant in US.

What a pleasant addition to south central Jersey So I have been going to Swagath Gourmet since 1990’s from Jersey City. Murali Anna, Sesha Anna and Padma Akka fed me their home cooking through tough home sick student days and my two pregnancies. This I shall never forget! Salute this family which brought in their desi naval and business backgrounds and leave us all a legacy of what a family business should be! HOME COOKED FOOD !!!!!!!

I was not impressed with the food taste as my taste pallet is different than the Tamil style they cooked. The service was great and took real good care of all customers.

A Pleasant Surprise at Swagath, Hamilton My experience at Swagath in Hamilton, which I visited based on a friend's recommendation, was a delightful surprise. Initially, I was skeptical due to the images on Google that showed paper plates and cups, which made me hesitant to try this place. However, the actual restaurant setting was far from my expectations it was a proper, well arranged eatery with cozy booths and central tables, not a fast food style setup as I had imagined. The culinary journey began right at our table with a serving of Rasam which instantly captivated us with its amazing flavor and spicy touch perfectly igniting our appetite. We started with an order of Onion Pakora for an appetizer, while my son opted for the Mysore Masala Dosai. My wife, adhering to a no onion, no garlic diet, found a helpful ally in our waitress, Preethi. Preethi's polite and cordial manner, combined with her extensive knowledge of the menu, made it easy to find suitable dishes. We settled on Lemon Rice and Puri Bhaji, both tailored to fit the dietary restrictions. The Lemon Rice was a standout, offering a subtle lemon flavor enhanced by a potent lemon pickle a brilliant idea that allows diners to adjust the citrus intensity to their liking. The Mysore Masala Dosai was another highlight, perfectly crispy and accompanied by delightful Sambhar and Chutney. The Thali was awesome, featuring a variety of vegetables that were very much enjoyable, except for one that resembled a Maharashtrian dish I'm less fond of. I passed the spinach paneer to my son, preferring to savor the other elements of the Thali, including the fluffy puris and well cooked rice. As for the Puri Bhaji (NONG), it was delicious in its own right, a testament to the kitchen's versatility and consideration for dietary needs. Preethi's service was exceptional, providing a comfortable, homely atmosphere that was both warm and down to earth. Overall, Swagath in Hamilton is a restaurant I would definitely revisit and highly recommend. It offers a combination of delicious food, accommodating service, and a comfortable dining environment that pleasantly contradicts any initial misconceptions.
