Swagaat Indian Cuisine, Beaverton, OR P132
   
The dinner menu selection is varied with a lot of different types of food available.  I really LOVE Indian cuisine, however, this restaurant was mediocre as far as taste.  The four items that were ordered in my party had quite a bit of onions in them.  Not much else was used for flavor. The mango lassi was well made, and tasty. The nan was good, but very blackened for nan.  The ambiance was that of a typical thrown together restaurant.  There were a few Indian art pieces, but the overall feel was loud and bright in the main dining area.  The service was the best part of our visit, but even that was not as good as it could have been.

Swagat Indian Cuisine, Portland, Beaverton, OR  
   
I do not know enough about the cuisine of India to comment with any degree of authority on whether or not Swagat provides "exceptional" or "mediocre" Indian food.  However, in my visits to both locations, I've always found the food to my liking and at exceptional prices. 

The buffet lunches at $5.95 contain a few more selections (all excellent) than their competition in the Portland area.  From the ubiquitous "Tandoori Chicken" (which I can't imagine anyone not liking), the offerings move to several different dishes with varying degrees of spice (both hot and flavor).  It's an excellent experience...If it looks like you'll like it, you probably will.  Try it...you'll like it. 

Food: A-. Service: A-. Attitude: A. Ambiance: A-. Parking: Can be a problem at either location. Value:  A+.
