Essential Austin Indian Vegetarian Restaurant Swad Is Now Closed | Eater Austin

"One of Austin’s fundamental Indian and vegetarian restaurants, Swad closed its North Lamar location at 9515 North Lamar Boulevard on December 25, 2018, a move reported by Austin 360 and confirmed by the owners. The restaurant, which opened in 1996, is particularly known for stellar vegetarian Indian food with a strong focus on Southern Indian fare—plentiful dosas with fillings like potatoes, cheese, and onions, idlis, Indian-Chinese dishes, puris, and more. Swad is not gone forever: owners Manhar and Nikula Patel say they are opening a Round Rock location at 1401 South Highway 35, Suite 220, estimated to open in the second week of February." - Nadia Chaudhury
