"My friend and I had a wonderful experience at Mela. The butter chicken and chicken vindaloo were both delicious, served promptly, and the service was excellent. We will definitely return in the future."

"We arrived 10 minutes early. We sat and got our menus and water. And then we waited. Two gentlemen came in, and the greeting spoke to them, and spoke to them, etc. When he finally came to get our order, we ordered Mango Lassis and said they didn't. He'd check it out. We've got our order...more servers arrived so new diners got more attention, we've never been told whether it's Lassis, but apparently not since we don't get it. The food we got was delicious, especially the Naan. But we will not return."

"Spicy means indian spicy for Swad...which is great! Ambience is ordinary n regular but makes up with food and portion size, which are awesome. Next visit should be for lunch, cos a hearty meal such as these without an afternoon siesta to follow its not the same. Tandoori Nan was thin yet soft fish was done just right and mutton roghan josh was enjoyably spicy. Mango lassi for my teste was way too sweet.Vegetarian options: Good varietyKid-friendliness: Yes"

"Had a large group on Sunday for brunch and it seemed there was only one persons working (taking table orders, making drinks at the bar and bussing table). Took for ever to get our drinks and even more so for the food. Having said that the food was great and I have no complaints there but it seemed like it was amateur hour on the service side. Would I go back and give it another chance... Maybe. Would I recommend to a friend, not a chance."

"Let's discuss the flavor, quality, portion sizes, and outstanding service. We’ve been revisiting our favorite Indian restaurants as our 20th wedding anniversary approaches, and our dear friends will be joining us for the celebration. We all agreed that Indian food would be a fantastic choice. After some searching, we've decided that Swagath will be the place to celebrate and enjoy incredible cuisine. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting. They have switched to serving water in single-use bottles, which we find a bit puzzling, but it doesn't detract from our experience. The dishes we enjoyed were lamb vindaloo and goat Chettinad—both were absolutely perfect."

"This was our favorite Indian restaurant 20 years ago. We hadn't been in a long time since we had moved to another part of the city. We moved back to this area and thought it would be fun to go back there. Never again. We waited an hour for our food which was simply awful!!! The naan fell apart and the insides looked like cat food, really! My Chicken Vindaloo was the worst that I have ever had and my husband's shrimp was burnt to the point that it tasted like nothing. He never came to check on us and when I asked for a second cup of tea, he charged me for it!!! I had waited almost fifteen minutes to get it and we were done eating and waiting for the bill. No chutneys were given with the naan. If this was my first Indian food experience, I would never eat it again. Go to Taj Mahal in Hales Corners if you want good Indian food with great service. Avoid this place. And there was a fly trap on one light fixture and some sort of food drippings next to me on the wall. Just gross!!!"

"The carryout menu has a cow symbol with an X through it next to all the vegetarian menu items that can be made vegan upon request. There are several, including the roti that can also be made vegan. The server also showed me the items on the buffet that were vegan and he even made me a dish of fried cauliflower with spicy chutney from the buffet even though I ordered off the menu. We were very pleased with the service and the flavor. Convenient location easy to access."

"This is my first time writing a review for any service. I want to take the time to say this place is horrible because of the owner nitin. This used to be our go to restaurant up until a year ago on our anniversary June 15th. We even had our baby shower party at this restaurant. Last year we ordered takeout food for our anniversary dinner and they forgot about our order and when my dad got there our food was not ready. My dad waited for 38 mins and they sent us home with uncooked paneer and all dishes were made in a hurry so was missing masalas and did not taste as usual. When we called nitin he was so rude and did not even care to make it up to us instead he spent 45 mins arguing with us calling us liars and said that his chefs never make a mistake. Customer service is really bad and nitin is extremely unprofessional and money hungry. He does not care if you are a loyal customer or a new customer he is not looking to make his customers happy. Since last year we have been ordering from samudrha and moghul express twice a week and have been especially impressed with samudhra's excellent service. Both samudhra and moghul express have excellent food as well and they are close to spice rack."

"On October 11, 2022, I ordered 9 items for lunch. After spending $130.48 on food, I was really disappointed if the food was not delicious. The Chana Saag did not taste like the authentic Mother Paneer brand, the Vegetable Jhalfrezi had too much salt, and the Yellow Dal Tadka needed to be tasted again for freshness. The Naans, Kulcha, and Roti were all made freshly, but the Roti was as hard as cardboard. It was a very bad experience, as restaurants rely on the credibility of their food quality."

"We went for dinner tonight. Excellent food! We started with the Malai Jhinga and the mulligatawny soup both were beyond good. I had the chicken hariyali and the husband had chicken tandori. Again, both were very good. We also ordered a side of biriyani rice, aloo nan and cucumber raita. Everything was cooked to perfection with perfect spices. (We ordered it mild) Pompa dan and a chutney variety was served as a complimentary starter as well. Yummy! I ordered the Taj Mahal beer, which was very fragrant and pleasantly crisp with a bit of a citrus finish. Lovely! We finished with a chai tea and a madras coffee. It was excellent! We will be back!"

"I've eaten there a few times and it was always top notch. I went to the buffet with my boys yesterday and everything tasted amazing AND the lamb curry had a nice extra kick to it. Friendly staff as well. I could have eaten a bucket of the tandoori chicken as well."

"This place has been in Diamond Bar for many years. I first visited this spot around 2006 or so when my older sister first brought me here to try Indian food for the first time.I’ve seen this place change interior I think twice over the times I’ve visited, and it seems like it’s stayed under the same ownership for many years (not sure how many times they did change ownership if ever).I give this place 5 stars because it’s always been consistent taste wise, interior is always clean and well kept, and employees are always kind and super attentive even if it’s 2 people eating at the time. As a former server, I know they put in all this effort to keep people coming back, and they’ve been doing it for over 10 years.I appreciate that they haven’t made sacrifices in the food due to rising costs."
