A bit out of the way for most tourists, elegant Swagath is one of a string of swanky restaurants along Madhya Marg in Sector 26. It specialises in Mangalorean and Chettinad seafood – from prawns, squid and crab to tandoori pomfret and fish gassi (coconut-based curry). However, it also has an impressive North Indian menu, including some tasty tandoor treats.
