Our story

Every guest is welcomed like family.

Swaagata means "welcome", and that is the whole idea. We brought the tiffin rooms and temple kitchens of the South to Kidwai Nagar: dosas roasted to order, idlis steamed fresh, sambar and chutneys made through the day, and every plate laid on banana leaf.

The menu travels across the South, from Karnataka's benne and Mulbagal dosas to Chennai's ghee podi idli, Kerala's appam and puttu, and Andhra's pesarattu and Nagarjuna thali. Family wants something different? We cook Indo-Chinese, Italian and Mumbai street food too, all 100% vegetarian.

From our tawa

Crisp, golden, and made the moment you order.

Watch it happen: batter spread thin across a hot tawa, a slick of ghee, a quick fold, and straight to your table with hot sambar.

    Awsome food. Must visit for authentic south Indian food. Italian wrap dosa is a must try. Mysore dosa is next level. Coconut lassi is super delicious. Staff is very humble and polite. They actually treat you like a guest at their own home.

  • Mansi PalGoogle review · Food, service & atmosphere 5/5

    Food quality was very good and atmospher was also nice. I ordered ghee podi idli, mushroom panner dosa and rava Keshri. I personally liked rava Keshri soo much. If anyone want to eat South Indian food then this restaurant is a good place.

  • Surabhi GuptaGoogle review · Food, service & atmosphere 5/5

    Absolutely loved my experience at Swaagata South 19 Restaurant! Everything we tried was delicious. The dosa was perfectly crisp, the tandoori/soya idli was unique and full of flavor. And the real star of the meal was the coconut lassi – a total showstopper and a must try!

  • Aditya ShuklaGoogle review · Food, service & atmosphere 5/5

    We ordered the iconic 5 Feet Dosa, and the taste was over the expectations. I would highly recommend it for 5 people dinner night.
