I’ve been waiting for this restaurant since Dec 2025. I came opening weekend for the lunch buffet. I’m super happy that I live 5 minutes away! Great deal for the buffet!!! They provide so many options and even homemade mango and pistachio ice cream. I definitely plan on becoming a regular!
Luckily, it is bigger than it seems from the front + it has a good amount of parking but it’s very, very busy. So I would come a few minutes before opening hours for the buffet.
My favs are the fried chicken, fish, chicken in curry sauce, naan, the sweet round donut like dessert, and the ice cream! Highly recommend!!!
Staff are super sweet and came to check on us repeatedly, refilling our water and just checking on us!

Beautifully updated place with great food & service. We came here for my partner’s birthday and it was nothing short of exquisite. I glanced at the hours over the weekend and thought they closed at 9:30 on Wednesdays. I guess they close at 9 but we didn’t feel rushed when we were finishing our dinner at 8:55. Everyone was so nice and they gave us a kheer to go I look forward to trying the weekend buffet next time!

Got slammed their first day and did such a good job trying to get to all of us. Once the hype calms a bit I’m sure things will run much smoother. Base curry is great like their Madison location. Heat level a tad hotter for medium than what I’m used to but still great! Naan was perfect.
I’m thrilled goat is on the menu

We got the lunch buffet and it was amazing! Plenty of options to try and the food was fresh and continuously restocked. The service was quick, friendly, and attentive. The building was beautiful and very easy to get to/park. The pistachio and mango ice cream was phenomenal! I absolutely love this place and we will definitely be back!!!

Was excited to order with this being their weekend. Ordered takeout. Very disappointed in the skimpy portion sizes for the cost of the food. Will likely not return.

We had a great experience at Swad Indian Restaurant in Janesville. The buffet was wonderful, the food was fresh and full of flavor. It was very busy when we went, so a few items were temporarily out, but the staff was working hard and doing their best to keep everything refilled. You could tell they were really trying to stay on top of it. Overall, a great meal and we’ll definitely be back!

Came in on their second night open and the place was packed. Rather than wait for a table we ordered food to go. Took almost an hour but it was so worth it. Everything was absolutely delicious. Can’t wait to come back and try more!

Lunch buffet. Food was great. Someone earlier said it was bland, but I disagree. Everything was tasty, flavorful, and fresh (they nailed the samosas – crispy, not chewy and tough at all). Buffet line was diligently attended to and my glass of water was regularly checked on and refilled. The premises are a little small and crowded but the sheer traffic probably makes it feel worse than it really is. The price is actually great, it’s very hard to find an all-you-can-eat place that charges only $20 per person these days. Overall, it was fantastic and we’ll be back soon. Thanks for taking a chance on Janesville!

They really did a great job renovating the restaurant. The food is fantastic and the staff are very friendly. Things should be expected to be a bit rough being brand new, but I think they are handling it well.

So great to have Swad in Janesville. The lunch buffet is perfect for our family. Flavorful curries with a nice variety of meat/chicken and vegetarian options. It is a little busy now (this is the opening weekend) but the food is worth it. Go check it out!
