Swaadisht Menu and Prices

Swaadisht Foods brings Indian, Durban curry, breyani, bunny chow, tandoori grills, Chinese dishes, burgers and quick meals together. This guide explains the menu and keeps direct and Randburg delivery prices in their correct scope.

Prices were reviewed on 29 September 2026. Branch, counter, collection and delivery prices can differ, so confirm the exact store before ordering.

How these prices work

Swaadisht Foods has a wide menu that combines Indian and Durban curry dishes, breyani, bunny chow, tandoori grills, Chinese food, burgers, wraps and quick snacks. This guide uses the direct online menu and the Randburg delivery listing reviewed on 29 September 2026. The same item can show a different figure at the counter, on a branch page or on a delivery app. Choose the exact store and channel before treating a price as final.

The direct menu displayed figures such as Sunrise R92, Early Bird R92, samosas R72 and many quick-grab items from R72 to R87. Randburg delivery showed Sunrise R98, Early Bird R143, Mutton Bunny from R173 and Chicken Breyani from R203. Those differences are labelled so readers can budget honestly.

Breakfast choices

Sunrise includes two eggs, mutton sausage, chips and toast. Early Bird adds a patty and a steak or chicken component, while Early Bird Macho adds grilled tomato, baked beans and curry mince. These are filling plates, so choose the larger version only when the appetite justifies it. The direct menu showed Sunrise and Early Bird at R92, while Randburg delivery displayed Sunrise R98 and Early Bird R143.

Ask whether the branch serves breakfast all day or only during morning hours. Mutton sausage, egg, bread and butter can contain common allergens. A customer who avoids pork should still confirm every sausage and sauce rather than relying on the restaurant name.

Published Swaadisht menu tables

Starters and paratha

Samoosas are a simple way to begin, while Aloo, Cheese and Mince Paratha offer a more substantial flatbread. The direct menu showed samosas R72 and parathas around R72-R87; Randburg delivery listed higher prices. Share one starter before ordering several mains, especially when the table also wants breyani or bunny chow.

Paratha is rich and filling. Aloo is potato based, cheese contains dairy and mince contains meat. Ask about the number of pieces, chutney and spice. A person seeking vegetarian food should confirm whether the dough contains ghee and whether the fryer is shared.

Breyani

Breyani is layered rice cooked with spices and a choice of mutton, chicken, fish, seafood, prawn or vegetables. It is a complete meal for many diners and does not always need a second starch. The Randburg delivery listing showed Chicken Breyani from R203 and a two-box Mutton Breyani special at R249, while direct menu figures can be lower.

Check the weight or portion description and whether salad or gravy is included. Prawn and seafood versions cost more or may be marked as a market price. Rice, dairy garnish, nuts and stock can vary, so ask about allergies and preparation.

Curries and bunny chow

Beans, mixed vegetable, chicken, mutton, mince and kebab curries cover different budgets and heat levels. Bunny chow uses a bread loaf filled with curry, making it portable but also very filling. The direct menu showed beans curry R92 on the current special page, while delivery examples can be higher.

Choose beans or mixed vegetable when you want a meat-free curry, but confirm stock, butter and shared preparation. Mutton and mince bring richer flavour and a heavier meal. Ask for the spice level and whether bread is included in the selected portion.

Gourmet bunny chow

Butter Chicken, Chicken and Prawn, and Lamb Karahi appear as gourmet bunny options. These dishes combine the comfort of bread and curry with a more composed sauce. A gourmet bunny can be enough for one hungry diner, so adding a full breyani or burger usually creates too much food.

Check the filling before ordering for a group. Prawn and chicken can introduce shellfish and poultry allergens, while cream, butter and yoghurt may appear in sauces. Keep the loaf upright during delivery and eat it promptly so the bread does not become soggy.

Quick-grab burgers

Swaadisht offers traditional burgers, New Yorker variations, Chicken Tikka, Veg, Paneer Tikka, Masala Steak and the Swaad Macho with double patty, cheese and egg. The direct quick-grab page listed examples from R42 for a Veg Burger to R109 for Swaad Macho. Randburg delivery prices were higher.

Compare the patty and included side rather than the name alone. Paneer and veg choices may suit meat-free diners but are not automatically vegan. Egg and cheese add dairy or egg. Ask about sauces, spice and whether chips are included.

Shawarmas and wraps

Chicken Tikka, lamb, steak and vegetable shawarmas provide a handheld alternative to curry and rice. Wraps include beans, mixed vegetable, chicken, chicken tikka, mutton and kebab. The direct quick-grab page showed many items between R42 and R75, while delivery prices may be higher.

A wrap is convenient for lunch and travel, but sauces can leak. Ask for chilli separately if children or spice-sensitive diners are eating. Confirm the bread, mayonnaise, cheese and meat filling. For a vegetarian order, check whether the grill or preparation surface is shared.

Tandoori grills

Quarter chicken tikka, half chicken, seekh kebabs, chicken boti and steak boti bring smoky grilled flavour. A full chicken listing includes legs, breasts, roti, sauce, chips and salad, so it is designed for sharing or a very large appetite. Grill platters combine chicken, kebab, steak and prawns.

Ask how many pieces arrive and which sides are included. A platter is not automatically better value if people only want one protein. Check spice, bone content and cooking time. Keep grilled meat hot and refrigerate leftovers quickly.

Sizzlers

Tandoori wings, Beef Mansoorian, Chicken Mansoorian, lamb chops and chicken strips with spicy rice sit in the sizzler section. Lamb chops are described as 300g and served with chips or baked potato. These dishes can be richer than a simple curry because sauces and grilled meat are combined.

Choose one sizzler as the centre of the meal and add a fresh side if needed. Ask whether the sauce is hot, sweet or creamy. Lamb, chicken and beef dishes may use different marinades, so confirm allergens and halal preparation at the branch.

Roti rolls

Beans, mixed vegetable, chicken, mutton and kebab roti rolls give a filling handheld meal. The direct page listed beans and mixed vegetable at R42, chicken R59, mutton R69 and kebab R75. These prices are direct-menu planning references; delivery totals can differ.

Choose beans or vegetables for a lower-cost meat-free meal, but ask about ghee and dairy. Mutton and kebab are heavier and may be spiced. Wrap the roll carefully for travel, keep sauces contained and eat it while warm.

Chinese cuisine

Chicken, beef, vegetable, seafood, prawn and chicken-and-prawn chow mein appear alongside fried rice versions. This gives customers an alternative to curry and breyani. The direct menu lists several chow mein and fried rice products at promotional figures around R72-R92, while delivery menus can be higher.

Seafood and prawn options require shellfish care. Soy sauce is common and wheat may be present in noodles. Ask about chilli, vegetables and portion size. A chicken and prawn combination is not suitable for someone avoiding shellfish even if chicken is the first word in the name.

Fish and seafood

Kingklip appears fried, grilled, curried and in masala or Madras preparations. Prawn jalfrezi, prawn curry, prawn masala, grilled prawns and crayfish curry may be available only at selected stores or shown as a market price.

Ask which seafood is fresh and what the current price is before ordering. Fish can contain bones and shellfish can cause serious allergy reactions. Keep seafood separate from vegetarian food when sharing. Delivery seafood should arrive hot or properly chilled according to the dish.

Lamb and mince

Lamb vindaloo and lamb karahi offer different heat and sauce styles. Keema Fry, Aloo Keema and Dhall Keema use mince with cream, potatoes, spices or lentils. These dishes pair naturally with rice or roti, but adding both can make the meal very large.

Ask whether vindaloo is the hottest option and request a milder sauce when possible. Lamb and mince can be rich, so a vegetable side balances the plate. Confirm portion size and whether a garnish contains dairy or nuts.

Kids meals

The online menu includes fish fingers and chips, junior burger and chips, chicken pasta, chicken pops and chicken strips. A child may prefer a mild burger or chicken strips over curry. Ask the branch about current kids portions, drink options and spice.

Let fried food cool before serving and cut pieces into safe sizes. Children with dairy, wheat, egg or seafood allergies need the same ingredient confirmation as adults. Keep hot curry and sharp bones away from young children.

Desserts and drinks

Swaadisht also lists dessert, hot beverage, cold beverage and mocktail categories, but a single public price list does not reliably cover every branch. Ask for the current dessert and drinks menu. A sweet drink or dessert can add more to a quick-grab order than expected.

Choose one drink per person and check the size. For a group, shared dessert can be enough after breyani or bunny chow. Confirm whether a dessert contains dairy, egg, nuts or gelatin when dietary needs matter.

Meal for one

One person can choose a roti roll, shawarma, burger, bunny chow, curry with one starch or a single breyani. The direct menu's lower quick-grab figures make rolls and vegetable burgers useful for a smaller budget, while Randburg delivery prices are higher.

Do not add rice, roti, chips and bread automatically. Choose the starch that matches the dish. For delivery, compare the small-order fee with collection. A low food price can become expensive when delivery charges are added.

Meal for two

Two diners can share samosas or paratha, then order two different mains. One person may choose chicken tikka while the other chooses mutton curry or chow mein. Sharing a starter provides variety without buying a full second main.

Discuss spice, meat and seafood before ordering. Keep vegetarian food separate when needed. Add one shared rice or roti only after confirming the mains do not already include it. Review delivery and service costs as part of the total.

Family and group orders

For a family, combine mild and spicy options and label every container. A full chicken tikka, family pack or platter may be practical for several people, but ask how many diners it serves. A group should not order several large starches when curry already includes rice or bread.

Collect allergy information before opening the menu. Confirm Halaal and branch preparation with the restaurant. Place large orders early, keep one contact number available and count containers, sauces and drinks when the food arrives.

Vegetarian and vegan questions

Vegetarian choices include beans curry, mixed vegetable curry, veg burger, veg shawarma, paneer dishes and vegetable chow mein. Cheese, yoghurt, cream, butter and ghee are common, so vegan customers must ask for a dairy-free preparation. Shared grills and fryers can also matter.

Tell the staff whether the request is a preference, vegetarian, vegan or allergy-related. Ask about stock and sauces. A vegetable title does not guarantee a plant-based recipe. Keep the final dish separate in a group order.

Allergy guidance

The menu can include wheat in roti, naan, bread, noodles and burgers; dairy in paneer, cheese, cream and butter; egg in burgers, mayonnaise and some breads; and seafood or shellfish in fish and prawn dishes. Sauces and spice mixes may contain soy or other ingredients.

For a serious allergy, contact the branch before payment and ask how the kitchen manages cross-contact. A menu summary cannot guarantee medical safety. Keep labels and packaging until the meal is finished.

Delivery and collection

Direct-menu figures and Randburg delivery prices show why channel matters. Collection may avoid platform fees and inflated delivery item prices. Delivery is useful for offices and families but can add service, distance and small-order charges.

Select the exact branch, review the final basket and check whether a special is active. For collection, confirm the address and pickup time. For delivery, give clear directions and keep the phone available. The amount charged at checkout is the final planning number.

Spice levels

Indian curries and tikka dishes can vary in heat. Vindaloo, Madras and spicy sauces may be hot, while butter chicken or mild beans curry can feel gentler. Heat also comes from chutney, chilli mayo and Chinese sauces.

Ask the staff to mark the order mild, medium or hot where possible. Chilli on the side gives a group more control. Children and spice-sensitive diners should avoid assuming a dish is mild because it contains chicken or vegetables.

Budget tips

Use the direct menu as a starting point, then compare the exact delivery basket. Roti rolls, vegetable burgers, beans curry and samosas can keep a light meal affordable. A large platter or premium seafood item suits a group only when every component will be eaten.

Avoid duplicate starches and drinks. Share one starter and dessert. Collection can save more than a small topping change. Check the final amount after fees and promotions rather than trusting a headline price.

Food safety

Serve curries, rice, chicken, meat and seafood promptly. Refrigerate leftovers in clean containers and do not leave them in a warm car. Reheat only the amount needed until properly hot. Rice deserves extra care because it should not sit warm for long periods.

Keep seafood and allergy meals separate. Do not reheat unsuitable packaging. If storage time or temperature is uncertain, discard the food. Good handling protects the value of the meal and the people eating it.

Checking an order

Compare each container with the receipt. Count breyani boxes, roti, naan, sauces, drinks, samosas and kids meals. Identify vegetarian, seafood and allergy-related orders first. Similar curry containers can look identical, so labels matter.

If something is missing or incorrect, keep the packaging and report the issue through the ordering channel quickly. For dine-in service, tell staff while the food is still on the table. A clear receipt and photo make correction easier.

Why prices change

Swaadisht operates across branches and uses more than one ordering channel. The direct menu may show a counter promotion, while Mr D or another platform adds delivery pricing and fees. Seafood can be marked SQ, and selected-store dishes may not be available everywhere.

Do not copy an old table as a guaranteed national price. Check the branch, date, portion, option and channel. This page records its review scope so readers can understand the limits of every figure.
