I’m Harshita, the heart behind Swaad. I come from Lucknow, the food capital of India — a place where every street corner tells a story through its aromas and every recipe carries a legacy. Growing up, I was deeply influenced by my grandmother, a woman whose hands held a divine taste. She never tasted her food while cooking — she simply knew when it was perfect, guided by the fragrance of the spices and the rhythm of her heart. From her, I learned that cooking is not just about ingredients — it’s a language of love, memory, and connection. Life, however, took me on a different path. I found myself caught in the hustle and bustle of the corporate world, building a successful career — yet something within me always felt incomplete. There was a quiet, persistent voice reminding me of the warmth of my grandmother’s kitchen, of the joy that comes from feeding others with love. That longing gave birth to Swaad — not just a restaurant, but a journey back to my roots. Here, I don’t just serve food — I serve the love, stories, and traditions passed down through generations. Every dish at Swaad carries a piece of that legacy — the same care, aroma, and heart that once filled my grandmother’s home. Welcome to Swaad — “Der Geschmack Indiens” — The Taste of India. Where every bite tells a story, and every flavour carries love.
