Food 1

  1. Gadbad ice cream Net −1
    “I am disappointed with the Gadbad Ice Cream I received. When I called your restaurant, your staff informed me that Gadbad Ice Cream consists of 5 scoops along with fruits and other ingredients.

Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 5
1

Try thali. For a broad introduction, start with a North or South Indian thali; the North Indian version is specifically praised for its dal.

2

Breakfast early. Breakfast is served until 12:00, but delivery delays have been reported, so dining in earlier may be the safer plan.

The Bottom Line

Swadmahal is a pure vegetarian Indian restaurant in Bur Dubai with a menu that moves between North and South Indian cooking. It is a useful pick when you want a thali, dosa, Pav Bhaji or chaat rather than a meat-free afterthought. Reviewers particularly praise the South Indian thali, North Indian thali’s dal, Papadi chaat and dahi puri, while others enjoyed chhole bhature, momos and Paneer tikka biryani.

The restaurant suits families and casual meals, with friendly service, indoor and outdoor seating, and prices several reviewers call reasonable. Breakfast is available until 12:00. One long-term diner returned more than 50 times and mentioned the Veg Thali, Paneer Labbabdaar, daal Makhani and laccha paratha as favourites.

Another reviewer said the restaurant handled food for a 20-person outdoor party successfully. There are important caveats. Feedback on taste is mixed, and service can vary from quick to waits of an hour or more.

Delivery complaints include food arriving cold and an order being cancelled after more than two hours. Hygiene comments also conflict: some reviewers found the restaurant very clean, while another reported flying insects and a cockroach near the handwash basin. Parking may be difficult, and there is reportedly no toilet inside.
