SWADI Restaurant | Our Story

One Kitchen, Three Culinary Traditions

On Greenmount Avenue in Baltimore's Waverly neighborhood, Swadi brings Indian, Nepalese, and American cooking together under one roof — built on homemade masala and a genuine love of feeding people.
A Home in Waverly

A Home in Waverly

Swadi put down roots on Greenmount Avenue in Waverly — a community-minded neighborhood that felt like the right fit. The name Swadi reflects that spirit: where culinary cultures blend and new flavors are born.
The Masala Is Made Here

The Masala Is Made Here

Every curry, tikka masala, korma, and karahi starts with spice blends made in-house — no shortcuts, no premixed pastes. That homemade masala is what gives the Chicken Tikka Masala its depth and the Daal Makhani its quiet, complex warmth.

The Pizza That Started Conversations

The Chicken Tikka Pizza — tandoori chicken, roasted peppers, onions, and mozzarella on a crispy crust — isn't a gimmick. It's what happens when two great culinary traditions genuinely respect each other.
The Samosa Has a Following

The Samosa Has a Following

Swadi's vegetable samosas are golden, crispy, and among the largest in the city — served with tamarind chutney and green cilantro sauce. Word of mouth like that is how Swadi earned a spot among Baltimore's Top 3 Restaurants of 2025.
