Ordered for a Schezwan Chicken Fried Rice & Schezwan Chicken Noodles. Immediately after the first bite it reminded me just like how you would get at the hawkers cart on the streets of India. You can feel the spice in your tummy afterwards but in a good way.
Definately recommend these two dishes if your up for the spice.
5 starts to biryani. Other than that its just ok. Not authentic at all but good western touch
Chicken biriyani is probably the best I’ve had in Melbourne. Presentation and the atmosphere is messy but the food is good. Waiting time could be reduced
Visited this place multiple times for the taste of Biryani. Absolutely love the biryani taste 9 out of 10times😋. However ambience is not good and needs to improved.
In addition, in my recent visit I found that one of the items price was quoted less on the menu card but we were charged high( original price). When we asked the staff there,they simply replied it’s a printing error😐
Visit this place to taste authentic Indian food. Simple and non pretentious joint. Although I keep going back for their Biryani...more so for their Hyderabadi style. Be happy to settle for a take away if all the tables are occupied.
This place is known for their chicken biryanis ! You get the authentic Hyderabadi taste and moreover you get them in ridiculous sizes ! You have Family and Jumbo sizes ! Don't take me lightly ! You have to try them ! Apart from that you have usual menu ! It does bring back feels of India
Mmmmmmm....take away Indian...
Vegetable samosas, a Goan fish curry, a palak paneer and a garlic naan. I arrived to pickup and this small restaurant was completely full with the phone ringing non-stop. The flavours were all there. Fantastic curries. Definitely coming back.
One of the best biryani I had here. It's not too spicy, tastes awesome. Specially the aroma of this is nice which makes me hungry.
I too had gobi (cauliflower) manchurian, schezwan paneer (cottage cheese) and chilly Idly (a kind of steam cake made up of semolina). Everything I liked very much. This gives a good taste and made my day. I had a nice food after a long time. It's definitely a place to go multiple times to have all foods. Specially biryani. I recommend everyone who loves to have Indian food.
Swadesh famous for hyderabadi biryani .
If we want take away , eat some good biriyani near Caulfield .. It is the place .. Very spicy , good flavours . Good place
swadesh makes really good lamb briyani. their family pack n jumbo serving of briyani s a great option if ur hosting a lunch or dinner at ur place. their schezuan chkn fried rice is one my recent fav here. eat a plateful of spicy idly and u wd ve taken off to the moon by the time u r finished -- very very spicy-caution!
This one is one of our favourite restaurant of all times.some of their platters are really mouthwatering,they maintain a great amount with quality.the best thing I love is proper indian spice level as spicy food is preferred by us.the service is quick & take away is most preferable.the only drawback which disappointed me is that they don't provide any restroom or washroom,which is really horrible.otherwise,if someone wants to enjoy typical indian spicy dishes then swadesh is one of the best Indian chophouse in Melbourne as per my taste.
Great biryani & Indi Chinese. Not a place I would find in but great for take away. The meals are super spicy so when ordering make sure to let them know your spice level.
Best indo-Chinese :-)
Staff are lost but that's fine
I couldn't care less when I come here
I don't expect good service but I do expect great food and I always get it
Good south indian food, awesome indo-chinese food, good biryani and average north indian food. Restaurant is quite small and seating is a bit cramped but great place for take away. Quality of food is really good and prices are fairly reasonable.
We are being almost daily at this Restaurent as every one can know why some goes daily yeah it's really fantastic
Thanks swadesh for the quantity and quality and main thing to say is about price which is affordable honestly
Tasty food. I am an Indian residing in St Kilda. After reading the reviews I was reluctant to dine at Swadesh on a Saturday but because I was craving for idli and dosa and didn't wanted to drive too far, I decided to give this place a try. The food was authentic and yummy. The food is value for money. I agree that service is not at its best due to less waiting staff and place being busy with many take away orders. Our food was served within expected time and tasted fresh. I believe that I made a wise decision by not relying on previous reviews and actually trying it myself.
Wow!! Beautiful tasty food at cheap prices. The staff are fantastic and have great recommendations if you are un sure. The flavours are just amazing!
Very good dosa. Loved it and will come back for more. But the sides and condiments such as chutney and sambhar were a little disappointing. Didn't like the sides too much but what an amazing dosa!
Delicious food. Scrumptious food and great customer service.One of the best small sized restaurants in and around Melbourne. highly recommended and 5stars.

Biryani. If you are looking for a hyderabadi style biryani, this is the place you want to visit. Great taste, mild or spicy you will get it.
Man I had ur restaurant biryani it was really awesome after long time I had delicious food anyway thanks for the food
Very good food. We had ordered schwan fried rice, naan and paneer manchuri. Everything was really tasty. Definitely would recommend this restaurant for good Indian food, and would like to revisit.
Best Biriyani Ever!!!. Great food, friendly staff, cheaper prices, Authentic Indian menu & tastes, lots of varieties... Hmm what else could some one ask for? The Hyderabad biriyani is just one of its kind.... Perfect taste!!! felt as if I was in Hyderabad Paradise / Baawarchi!! and the chilli chicken and the mirchi bhajji "just a wOw" !!!! Will surely visit again, again and again!!! Maintain the same tastes and keep adding more dishes to the Menu mate....
Cheers!!!!!
Keka. We have thoroughly enjoyed the food especially
Qurbani ka meeta.
Just delicious. Some of the best Indian I have had in melboure, I recommend it very highly check it out!
Back for Biryani. The menu at Swadesh is lengthy indeed, incorporating cuisine from the North & South of India together with Indo-Chinese dishes. All the popular curries are represented, but they also offer dosas, idly and vada, plus the oddly named chicken-65.
I’ve picked up take away a few times and have been returning for the Hyderabadi style biryani with either chicken or lamb, served with the traditional accompaniment of mirchi ki salan (chili & peanut curry). It’s definitely one of the better versions of this dish I’ve come across.
The dining space is brightly lit and casual in style, but at the prices they’re charging it hard to find fault.
Finally an authentic indian restaurant in glenhuntly!! Tasty food and excellent service.
Yummy food.. Specially biryani and garlic naan is awesome, just love it ,,,,,,
Awesome Indian dishes....tasty food Nd authentic hyderabadi dum biryani

We ordered a plate of chilli chicken and told to make it as andhra spicy. Chilli chicken was yummy. Friend will pay another visit.
Keep up the taste & SERVICE.
My friend Sujesh and I have been coming to Swadesh in Glen Huntly for 2 years now. It is easily our favourite place to go for Indian cuisine. The food is always of a high quality, with a huge range to choose from at reasonable prices, as well as excellent and friendly service from the staff. Highly recommended!
Best restaurant in Melbourne. There starters are authentic and very tasty. I Never disappointed with the food . Must try dishes are chicken85, crispy fish, mutton ghee roast and any other indoChinese dishes. Good for family and friends to enjoy variety dishes and hangout for dinners..👍🏻
They have got a decent taste, and not too expensive. The only thing which I don't like is curry leaves in almost everything.
Excellent food. As a vegetarian I will be more choosy in picking the Indian dishes. Absolutely loved the new chilli mushroom and my husband loved mutton ghee roast. It was a delight as after a very long time, coming out with at most satisfaction and great service. New look/ambiance rocks.
