Ordered online but when I arrived they didn't have everything I ordered. They said that they would refund me through the app but it's been 2 days and nothing. Definitely call your order in if picking up.

Very enjoyable food, and very polite service. Danewad, Mr Kamal.The vegetable mango is good but be warned that it is fermented, so this curry is a bit sour and doesn't taste like fresh, sweet mango or even under-ripe mango.The basmati rice was cooked to perfection.The Lentil (dal) soup was delicate and enjoyable.I also had aloo (potato) paratha (baked wheat flatbread). The crushed potatoes were very mildly flavored with spices that I could smell but not taste because it was served late and the vegetable mango was, sadly, strong enough to completely block the flavor of the spices in the aloo. If you order this, aloo samosa or another with mildly spiced potatoes, make sure to eat this first or dip it in sauce.Public, 2-hr parking is to the side, and their parking is in the rear, adequate for the small size of this restaurant.Vegetarian options: Some items can have coconut milk substituted for milk.Dietary restrictions: LactoseParking: Public, 2-hr parking is to the side, and their parking is in the rear, adequate for the small size of this restaurant.

This is now my favorite Indian restaurant in the greater Cincinnati area, and believe me, we've tried them all many times. What I haven't figured out is how they keep their prices a little lower than most others. We occasionally try other restaurants to see if they have improved, but there is still none better than SWAD! Highly, highly recommended!
