Swaadesh Indian Cuisine - Tameside

A football game at the Etihad brought to this Indian in Stalybridge. It's location at the end of a shopping precinct was strange as was the dark (early evening) interior which was mostly empty. We were put right at the back where the poor lighting made it even darker. Service by a single gentlemen was efficient but not particularly personable. The food started well and we were given ample amounts of dip to accompany our poppadums. The curries however were a little disappointing. My son and I ordered very different curries but they looked and tasted very similar. My Jaipur dish was dominated by red peppers there was no mention of them in the menu description! The long and sometimes tough slivers of chicken tikka were also not too our liking. The food was relatively cheap but we have had much better in many other Indian establishments. As we left at 7.30pm on a Saturday evening the restaurant was still very empty........I wonder why?!

I could not fault the food it was lovely but the service was shocking. Slamming our food in the table cleaning up around us and making us feel uncomfortable! This was supposed to a special meal for my friends son who was back from Australia after four years! We paid for the set menu and wasn’t served a dessert just demanded to pay! I will never come here again! A shame really as the food was lovely

Very pleasant staff and nice relaxed atmosphere, sadly the food was quite mediocre and far too Sally for my taste.

Tried Swaadesh for the first time , very impressed, great food , wide selection and some different dishes great value too . You can take your own alcohol which saves money too

My family and I have had numerous excellent takeaways delivered from the restaurant so decided to pop in on a Monday evening. Friendly staff, a good choice on the menu. The food was excellent and taking your own alcohol is a bonus.
