Savory spices and colorful dishes enliven this otherwise sedate spot, with an ample menu of traditional Halal Indian cuisine served in attractive copper bowls. The 30-item daily lunch buffet offers the best bang for the buck for $9.95, but all is reasonably priced. The food ranges from vegetarian items to meat dishes (chicken, goat, and lamb), seafood, and tandoor (clay oven) specialties. Owner Abu Syed has been a veteran restauranteer since 1994, running the popular Joy Curry and Tandoor in midtown Manhattan. With Swagat, meaning "welcome," he's focusing more on a sit-down clientele, though free delivery, take-out and catering are all offered.
