WOW!!!!  This place is fantastic.  The babaganoush was delicious. The cacik was the best we have had.  The spinach and cheese spring rolls were heaven.  The mixed grill and chicken kebabs were cooked to perfection.  The ambiance is fun.   It was almost like you were eating in Istanbul.  We love this place!  Oh yeah . . . and the bread is fresh out of the oven and the hospitality amazing.  Come super hungry because you will need a hollow leg to store all the food.  And ask for a table in the back under the tents!!!  You won't be sorry.

Our favorite ice cream place.  Creative flavors. Ice cream cone creations you can only dream of -- lucky charms?  rice crispy treats on a cone?  WHAT?  Yup  It's that amazing.  Service is great.  Atmosphere is fun.  Ice cream is great.  You can't ask for more (except some extra place to sit).  Check it out if you are here with your family.  And, if there are enough of you - you can enter the contest to eat the big kahuna of ice creams...  

Starter Rating:  5 stars.  No question.

Swagat has great indian food.

We loved the chicken tikki masala and the butter chicken, the rice was spectacular and then nan was delicious - perfect blend of spices - we only wish that the saag paneer had more cheese in the dish. The service was great and we would definitely go back.
