There are few things more comforting than a crispy dosa and fluffy idli dunked in coconut chutney and sambar. It's not delicate or refined, but I wouldn't want it any other way.

I don't understand why not rated more? It is always busy and always good and for walk up Indian with two entrees and rice with soap for 9 dollars a great deal. It is spicier than others but it is a walk up so you can't decide spices. I like the pakora but Indian friend said it was store bought. Whatever someone cooked it for me. People are nice and line moves fast. One of my favorite places at nfm.

I never really understood Indian food until an Indian friend took me here, which is in the food court at the Nashville Farmer's Market. Everything is covered in a lot of sauce that you soak up with rice and bread. Ordering is like at a walk-up Chinese place -- pick a rice and two entrees and they'll plop some crisp flatbread on top. The two mild entrees were Tiki Masala (the one Indian dish that I know) and a nearly identical dish of chicken in a creamy tomato sauce. I would've preferred more variety, so next time I'll get a vegetable instead of a second entree. I really liked the food, and it had great flavor even though it was the mild version. And whenever I come here, I get inspired to go to the Indian grocery store in the food court.

Best naan I've had from any Indian place in Nashville and I love Indian food! Their curries and veggie options are always pretty interesting to try. It's served cafeteria style and they generally always keep the same options on the menu. While I've had better curries and certainly had better rice, this place in the farmer's market is a fantastic option for lunch and a good value. Try the veggie options! Those have always been the most flavorful to me.

I've been coming here for years and the food is always on point, spicy as you like it, and very delicious. I get more than full coming here.

I'm glad I did not read these reviews before I tried Swagruha. I'm so guilty of reading bad reviews and then never going to a restaurant. This tiny little food spot is located in the Nashville Farmers Market. Is it the best restaurant located there? Not quite. But where else can you go get chicken tikka masala x2 (you can pick 2 different entrees but I always double up), rice, naan bread and a drink for $7 total? Swagruha is a great option for a super fast and cheap Indian chow down.

I gave it a second chance. I'm going to say I now have no reason to contemplate returning again. I'll stress the food is not terrible, but it's neither plentiful nor a great bargain to make up for it. While in line, a large foreign object (Dr pepper can?) fell into one of their heating buckets, splashing what I think was chicken-based juices across every container... they pulled it out, and resumed... ok, I'll buy an unwashed Dr Pepper can isn't going to kill me regardless of what the internet freaks say, and even as a vegetarian a little chicken juice in everything by accident isn't going to drive me to insanity, but cross-container contamination does ride my goats. They ran out of veggie rice before I got my order in... I asked the woman if she had any more veggie rice and she said yes, I said I would have some veggie rice and... and she turned and walked away while I was speaking so I just kept talking "I guess the rest of my order will get heard when you get back" ok random sassy woman, not cool. Rest of my order got plopped onto the plate, I paid and left and realized the plate was actually pretty light... ok, whatever... the food was not-quite flavorless, again... oh, it had one spice, and that was burn. The veggie korma was ok but meh...sad, felt like it was undercooked and overcooked at the same time. I got done eating a $7 plate of food there and thought "what the hell, I'm still hungry" - I'll point out I was not horribly hungry when I went there. A bit later (friends had been waiting on food trucks and finally gave up to get food inside) I'm sitting with friends, one of which went there also, specifically stated she could not handle hot, was assured whatever she was getting was mildly spiced... rrr no. Plate of hot by US standards food abandoned. I started thinking, most of the Indian places I go are buffets, they've got their things, you get a plate of food, maybe you can eat two plates, it's $8-10. You walk away, it's food coma time. I know this isn't a buffet, but the food tasted like it was from the Shoney's of Indian cuisine, there wasn't a whole lot of it, there was splatter and bleh... I'm just not impressed. I've been to enough Indian joints to figure out an average, and this isn't quite to average levels based on the other places available.

One word. Dosa. Best in the city. Get the masala dosa. Seriously, it'll rock your world.

The best features about Swagruha are the value and the friendliness. Both employees smiled the whole way down the line, and the guy gave me a full two bucks back after I paid with a ten dollar bill for a total of $8.18. While I would still put the rice into the "cheap" category, I thought it was pretty good by food court rice standards. Seeing no vindaloo available, I opted for the two "wuss" curries: tikka masala and butter chicken. They were both okay, but a little bland for my taste. Usually, when I go for Indian food, I'm there because I'm looking for in-your-face flavor. That doesn't mean it has to be spicy; I really enjoy a good tikka masala. This was just okay.

Swagruha - its like an American buffet (but not American or a buffet). I say that because you get a TON of food for less than $7 and quickly. So, price wise it is most definitely a value, unfortunately the food was not that great. The bread had good buttery flavor but was too chewy. The chicken literally still had gristle and two HUGE pieces of bone in it (keep in mind this was a typical chopped chicken in a sauce dish, not tandoori or anything). Here is the kicker. I am a girl who slathers a lot of my food in Sriracha, puts a a few dots of Daves Insanity in her Chili, etc. I love hot food. But all you could taste here was 'OMG - HOT' pretty much deflating any other subtle flavors or nuances Indian food usually has. It was like the Princes of Indian cuisine. SAD FACE! I kept biting into big chunks of hot pepper in my rice. Yuck. The chana masala was alright, but the sauce was very thin and watery not really letting the 'yum' coat the beans. Let down. Eat at any other place in the farmers market! You could also run around the international market and make your own ;)

Third choice as Bella was a 25 min wait and noolys had sold out of shrimp and grits. Veggie Korma and matter paneer with rice for $7.00. Not like any Korma I know but OK. Matter paneer quite tasty. Rice blah, donut dessert, sticky gooey and tasty. This is my 4th time here and it never gets any better, come on guys make an effort.

I am a travel ling IT consultant and have been traveling on a regular basis for more than 5 years. Swagruha Fine Indian Cuisine is one of the best Indian restaurants that I have eaten in. This restaurant is part of the food court and is ONLY open for lunch. The combo plate only cost $7 and comes with Vegetable rice / Biriyani plus two curry (veg / non-veg) and naan with raita. Not to forget the Goat Curry and Veg Dhaal is Awesome and outstanding! The waitress also identifies high spice versions of Goat and Chicken so that foreigne origin people are cautious when picking the items for the combo The restaurant food taste very much like home cooked Indian food and is very tasty. In addition, you do NOT have any heavy food symptoms like bloated stomach and discomfort which usually happens after having spicy food. If you are visiting or travelling to Nashville on business, you should checkout this place for lunch! Cheers! Rama (Atlanta GA)

Delicious South Indian food (Dosa, Idli, Chutney, Sambar are awesome)!

Ok Guys. I went to this place as it had rave reviews on yelp. I was so so dissapointed. I ordered butter chicken and they give you 2 sides along with Rice and Roti. The butter chicken was the worst I have tasted in my life. I would say it was not even butter chicken. It was chicken butchered by mike tyson and cooked by Hulk Hogan. The sides dishes - Paneer Mutter was equally bad. The only saving grace was the dal which I must say was really good. I am definitely not going to this place again. After the meal I went to the next door bbq and ate some decent ribs. Skip it and got to the bbq, creole, jamaican restaurants in farmers market instead of swagruha. But if you are one of those who has not tasted good indian food, you may like it. god bless you guys.

Was it the best Indian food I have had? No. Was it well seasoned, tasty and an insanely good deal? Absolutely! Mattar Paneer was tasty, but the peas were a little firm. Butter chicken was decent. My favorite was the chili chicken. Nice and spicy. The flavor came through the heat. My boyfriend made fun of me as my face was sweating... So yeah...2 curries, 1 meat, rice, naan, raita and a can of soda for a little over $7. Winner!
(4)Justin E.
So, I ordered, at the urging of my sidekick, the Masala Dosa. As other reviewers have said, it is about a 10-15 minute wait. This was my first taste of Dosa. The taste and texture were perfect. The slight crunch on the dosa with the delicious filling satisfied and comafied. The paneer matar was passable. However, do not look past the Masala Dosa. You cannot miss the Masala Dosa. Finally, a nod to the nicely done Gulab Jamun for dessert. A nice plus is getting to wander the Nasvhille Farmer's Market before and after enjoying your Dosa.
(4)Joy S.
Possibly the best Indian this westerner has sampled. There was a time when the owner(s) mentioned that they may be opening a sit down location, but that never seemed to have moved forward. I'd go every day. Now, when I visit any other Indian establishment in Nashville besides here, the results, while pleasant, cannot compare Swagruha. Fiery, aromatic, rich, curry sauces, and to die for naan bread, charred to perfection. Highly recommended. And like other reviewers have said, this place is a bargain.
(5)Wayne H.
Okay...so it isn't the best tasting Indian food in the world. That said however it is amazingly cheap, about $7 for rice, two meat or veggie dishes, naan bread and a drink. The plate of vegetable rice is nothing special, but a nice exotic change of pace for someone raised on white rice. The chicken dishes, Tikka Masala and butter chicken are a bit on the watery side, but the Mattar paneer and the lentils dishes are nice, thick with veggies and spicy. As people have complained, the naan is generally quite buttery, but works well as a soak for the chicken dishes. Some homemade Lassi usually rounds out a meal here for me. Evidently I like to torture my taste buds, but I love the spiciness here, which ranges somewhere between restaurant "extra hot" and "native Thai". The family that runs this restaurant are friendly and helpful and open to exceptions and concerns. In sum this is a nice place to go when I'm in need of a quick Indian food fix or low on money (or both). This is strong, spicy comfort food for me, and I appreciate its presence at the Farmer's Market.

I always order the special Masala Dosa plate. It is about a 15 minute wait but completely worth it! The dosa plate gets you one large masala dosa, 2 idlis, green chutney, ginger chutney, sambar and desert. I recently tried the chicken biryani, it was well seasoned and completely hit the spot.I would happily go back for the biryani everyday.

I am close to giving this place three stars, but there are just too many other Indian restaurants in Nashville that are better. The food actually tastes pretty good, and the chicken and goat curries are things other Indian places don't seem to have. But it's all pretty spicy, and that's not my thing. Also, it's a pretty limited selection. If you're in the farmers market and in the mood for Indian fare, go for it.
(2)Howard L.
Rice is not that great but the curries are decent and it's cheap. I'm giving this place 4 stars for their vegetable samosa. I can't eat enough of them and they're only a buck each.

Good southern Indian food in Farmers Market humble surroundings. Sometimes the Farmers Market site is known as "900 8th Ave," but let's honor Mrs. Park's civil rights chuzhpah and use the new street name. Swagruha is a yummy downtown area spot where you simply walk up to the counter and make your food choices which are dished up to take with you. Eat it at home or office, or sit down in the food court there. I like the Gulab Jamum Indian pastry, the Vada fried lentils, and the requisite chicken creations. The Mango Lassi smoothie is double yummy.

Today I had the opportunity to eat at Swagruha in Nashville. I must say, being indian and traveling extensively across the US, this is a place where you can easily appreciate a authentic indian dish. As you will find the selections are small, this is because these are the dishes best cooked and served. Everything was mouth-watering delicious and I will recommend this restaurant to anyone in the Nashville area. I will add, the owners are very kind, and she took away from her time to check on our food and we mentioned it was very tasty and spicy. She brought us yogurt on the side, complimentary. This is what I call good service. This is a place to eat, cafeteria style. Not a normal restaurant. You order, and there is a general sitting area for all the near by restaurants. Food was nothing short of superb.
(5)Richard Y.
One of the best Indian restaurants in Nashville. I'm only saying "one of" because I haven't tried them all. It is definitely my favorite. You absolutely must get the butter chicken!
(5)Carol W.
We had lunch at Swagruha today. This wonderful Indian restaurant is located in the Nashville Farmer's Market located on Rosa Parks Ave. The food is excellent, well-spiced and absolutely delicious! I love the butter chicken and chicken tikka masala, as well as the channa masala. My husband loves the goat and lamb curries, as well as the chili chicken and the chicken curry. Today we had mango pudding for dessert, which was smooth and creamy, with bits of mango and just the right amount of sweetness - a delicious treat for the end of a spicy meal. The owners and servers are very friendly and go out of their way to make sure you are satisfied with your dining experience! The restaurant also now has some of their spicy snack mixes for sale in the International market at the Farmer's Market as well. This is one of our absolutely favorite restaurants in Nashville, and as a bonus we get lots of grocery shopping done at the Farmer's Market too!
