Swagath..defence colony
If you live in Delhi and are fond of sea-food or coastal cuisine..you must already be knowing about Swagath..
For those who think South indian food begins and ends with the dosa and the idli..Swagath is a must-visit..
what you get is spicy prawn biriyani, appams with stew..or if, like me, you prefer something spicy..chettinad chicken!!yumm!! crabs, lobsters, fish malabari..you name it and they not just have it...but have it fresh and sometimes even live for you to choose the one you want to savour..on a weekend be ready to wait in queue ..but the service is prompt and efficient..
Now comes the sad discovery I made last week..With the new financial year..Swagath too has decided to hike its prices..now a glass of jal jeera is Rs 50..and that irresistible Prawn Biriyani about Rs 300..but thats not the end...on Friday the jal jeera was bland..to say the least..and in my 5years of visiting Swagath almost once a month..this is surely a first..
They seemed to be in a hurry too...and my comment on the jal jeera didnt evoke much reaction..
Worst..my favourite pickled onions..which are always 'pickled' in Swagath..were strong and pungent...
lets hope its a one-off experience!

I saw ur comment on eating at Mumbai. i agree that Churchill is a better bet for conti than Mocambo. The mgmt is the same http://finelychopped-k.blogspot.com/2008/07/in-love-with-churchill-cafe.html Mocambo http://finelychopped-k.blogspot.com/2008/07/mocambo-makeover.html has some great Parsi food which is cheaper than the conti stuff and which they don't feature in their main menu
