South Indian Comfort Food with Swagath Gourmet: Family Food
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 лис 2016
- In the premiere episode of Family Food, we head to Swagath Gourmet, a South Indian restaurant run by the Iyengar family in Edison, New Jersey. We meet brothers Sesha and Murali as well as Murali's wife Padma, who all share a passion for bringing authentic South Indian food to the table. The lentil- and rice-based vegetarian dishes that have made Swagath a local favorite are not only delicious, but also extremely healthy.
After spending time with the Iyengars in their restaurant and their tight-knit community of Edison, we see it's no coincidence that the word "swagath" means "welcome" in their native tongue. The minute you walk into Swagath, you feel like a part of the family.

Indian food in general has to be one of the most underrated cuisines I have ever come across. I mean come on, you ask your friends what do you want to eat? No one will ever tell you Indian food, they'll say Mexican, or Italian, or whatever, but seriously, Indian is one of the best and most complex cuisines in the world, and it deserves so much more recognition.
Nathan Sanchez lol not where I live, here everyone loves Desi food, but most people are only sued to restaurant/buffet/wedding style food
Nathan Sanchez agreed
naseerahvj where do u live? U r probably Indian. Indians eat Indian food 100 times more often than non Indian people no matter what the destination or situation
Nathan Sanchez in Birmingham UK Indian food is a big deal
in the uk indian food is number 1 especially in the north
look at these guys, they work so freaking hard to make a living. people say they are taking over our jobs. no they earnt every penny they make. god bless them.
Knuckles9T5 you don't understand these people aren't taking over your jobs but ILLEGAL immigrants are..
Supreeta Sagere yeah the jobs that other Americans refrain from doing themselves.
Look at south of America, Mexicans working in farms and grocery store which by the way americans don't want.
ThisbeNik damn you just flamed him 😂
KPOPFANBOYUK you lost that nik guy won his points were facts
True
There's an Indian family in my neighborhood who cooks in their garage with the door open.
I often fantasize that they'll invite me over for dinner
I know exactly what you mean. Like all you can do is take a few deep breaths, sigh and move along! #thetorment 😂
Invite them for dinner. Being invited for dinner is a totally realistic thing you can aspire to, but be reasonable, don't expect something from nothing. Indian people are the most welcoming and thankful people on the planet. But they won't thank you with words, it's simply expected to return what is given to you. So if you want to be invited for dinner, ask them first!
Bharat Mata Ki Jai!
Just ask they ll happily invite you.
we cook outside because we don't want our house to smell of food, it smells delicious but lingers so the best thing to do is to cook outside
Just ask. We indians love sharing our food.
I am Irish, as in from Ireland, i love Indian food, and India and the history -- Ramana Maharshi, Neem Karoli Baba, Sadhguru. There are Indian people in Ireland. Some day i will visit India.
If you ever visit Uttarakhand for Neem Karoli Baba or Haidakhan baba, do let me know. :) aarshparashar@gmail.com

So you named all the frauds in one go. Well done
I've eaten here once while driving through. Best food I've had honestly. Love it. Never had South Indian food before that.
xD3bdullahxD lol they’re south Indian. There is no middle eastern influence.
@@Dacite6 lol its 99% south indian and 1% other influence
@@Dacite6 bro im from south india. Our food has barely any outside influence because it has been very inclusive for the most part.
@@Dacite6 can you give an example?
@@Dacite6 yes but which dishes in this video do you mean habibi?
If you see the employees and the owners eating in their own restaurant, trust me u can eat the food without the concern of safety and hygiene
South Indian Kitchens are always hygienic!!!
@@DMangalorean not always.
That was the indian food that blew my mind, Karnataka was amazing. Idlis and Sambar for breakfast, yum!
Karnataka one place many worlds !
That's so sweet of you brother. 🙏 Do visit again. The next time you are here, try tasting Masale dose and Bisi Bele Bath. 😊
A woman taught by her husband how to cook? WOW! I found that sweet.
@@aftabahmed9557 lol no . not really . i mean not in the state i come from . really cool that men around you can cook 💖
@@aftabahmed9557 it's true,my father's cooking is really great.
Brahmin community Jain community and Lingayat community in Karnataka have been and are strictly vegetarian since many centuries .They have fantastic ( though slightly duffernt ). vegetarian cuisine
@@aftabahmed9557 My father cooks better than my mom.
My dad has won several cooking contests lol.
Very down to earth people and the food looks great. I'm Arab and I love indian people,food culture and history it's one of the richest culture worldwide
thank you
@vishu singh LMAO. SO TRUE.
@vishu singh STFU
@vishu singh what's up with the attitude
@vishu singh are you joking or are you serious?
South Indian food finally getting the recognition it deserves
agreed, but Bengali biryani is the absolute best
@@RandomGuy-co7rq do you tried or ever ate our THALASSERY BIRIYANI...
@@jihanhamza7265 Yup dude, I live in Bangalore. South Indian food is amazing, and it is much healthier in my opinion. Thalassery biryani is amazing too, I eat it regularly. But, nothing beats authentic Bengali biryani, the potato is the key ingredient.
@@RandomGuy-co7rq Hyderabadi Dum Biryani crying in corner
Meanwhile me living in Maharashtra (which is kind of a south central state) who thinks that Delhi and Punjab side food is the best 😮
I am from Sri Lanka where authentic South Indian food is also available.
I love India and it's wonderful to see this.
Namaskaram
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
We love the yohani song "manike maage heete" soooo much.. though we do not understand a single word..
Namaskaram 🙏
I started writing a comment explaining what South Indian cuisine is and how it is a blanket term for multiple cuisines and it became so long that I had to delete it cos no one would read it. But that's the thing - it's so amazing and wide and varied.
Many of us will read.
I LOVE South Indian food.... and it's people....
Actually Love EVERYTHING South Indian!
Like how Ethiopian food is similar yet so different and so good
nice break from those pretentious hipster chef
For real. All that over rated protein meat shit.

Shit it sounds like babe now. Not sure if its "there or Babe" :D
hilarious

South Indian people are the kindest and best. I’ve studied in north India, south India and East. South Indians respects women and outsiders. Love South Indians and their food. Vanakam and rombo Nandri 👍🙏🏽
Southe India also dangerous place for women 😁
@@newtube4984 dont say rubbish fool
@@newtube4984 shut up 😂we know statistics big man most of rape cases are from north india
@@newtube4984 oh really?? we are not fools to believe your shitty comment and we can see statistics in google,.. so hold your horses to yourself!!
People are same everywhere and pls stop dividing India.
Disappointing to read many of these comments. This family is doing what they love and their generosity of spirit and kindness shines. To those making hateful, shallow comments, get a brain and some joy in your life.
Nobody lives without a brain. You are very stupid
Those people who always frown and hate have miserable life that it's overflowing and overwhelming, they had to share their misery to other healthy and happy positive people
@@metalhead7752 it's called hyperbole moron
I think one general rule when it comes to judging how good an "ethnic" restaurant is going to be, is seeing how many people of that ethnicity go there. This place seems to be one of those that Indians trust. I live in Tokyo, and my favourite restaurants here is extremely popular with Indians. The same goes for my favourite Thai place. It's also interesting that these places are often nothing fancy to look at, and aren't expensive. They're just genuine.
You are 100% correct. The restaurants with fanciest decor serve the worst food most of the times
As a vegetarian I was always in awe of Hindu ahimsa. My Hindu friend turned me vegetarian. No killer instinct for me.
Do read bhagavad geetha which was read robert oppenhiemer and many people and upanishad and vedas
Wowwww so happy to hear that friend.
"they are my blood, they are my everything for me. Thank you lord you gave everything what I wanted." such a powerful statement at end by the brother. Family is everything!
its not a statement, it was a prayer in grace. namaste
Indian food is just mindblowing...I love dosa and palak paneer. The best food in the world
Italian, Indian, chinese, Thai and Japanese
I love this! I thought it was cool to see that in the Hindu temple they also had all of the Sikh Gurus paintings along with those of great Hindu saints and yogis - the synchronicity of India
@@moharroon how can you say that? Sikh people were brave during persecution and took to arms to defend themselves and other hindus. They otherwise live peaceful dignified lives.
Shabd They have Buddha and Jain figures too.
Indians are more United outside the country than within to be honest.
@@digiartly because politicians outside India don't discriminate against those Indians based on caste/creed/religion.
@Culture Freedom hahaha we are not the ones to learn to kill others who have different beliefs from a stupid book.
I showed this to my 91-year-old Pop who is from Mysore and he loved it....
As long as there are dosas in the world there will be peace
this comment has more meaning than it's general appearance 😇
"On all these good and bad days my family was a backbone. I can stop breathing, I don't want to stop working with them. They are my blood, they are everything for me. Thank you lord you gave me everything what I wanted." Really inspiring. Amazing video...
Wow so many obnoxious comments. This family does an amazing job at shining light on south indian food which is so underrated, everyone should be try it atleast once in their life!
Wish I could try those vadas tho, love from Australia
from india, stay in a pre dominantly south indian area, and south indian food is available left right centre and absolutely cheap prices. fresh idlis and vadas in morning and dosas in evening yumm.
So i feel for you...
Exactly southern food is healthier than ☺️ northern only in term of idli.
@@pappubarman9559 yes
This family is literally nurturing people’s souls. Bless them
Love from Dubai.
I am a pakistani from punjab and by default most of us dont get well with indians but I am sure one day our food will reunite us. Lol. Love south indian food, Specially uthapam, masala dosa and Idli dosa. Feels really good to eat all vegan. Trust me I am a pakistani but still we have cooked idli dosa many times in our home with that Coconut chutney.
Why is it that you dont get well with Indians lol? That stuff from the media is just hate propaganda from extremists. No educated person would just hate another person just because a few uneducated people decided to fight each other. I know Pakistanis and I talk to them like just about anyone else.
PS that dosa chutney part cracked me up lol.
Next time try with tomato chuttney and groundnut.... Mutton and fish gravy with hot idli....
Good to know!
We do not get well only when we are in home countries. Outside, I have known Indians and Pakistanis are great friends. Most of my uncles and cousins in the Middle East have Pakistani friends. It has a lot to do with media discourse and government policy.
@@pviveknair
Yeah its the media and the politicians that sow hatred between us, when we are one people with a common language.
never missed meat in south india,masala dosa is one of best meals ever,lovely people too...
Johnnie Gilchrist Exactly!
Masala dosa is favourite for a lot of people here in India as well. !! L
You missed out mate. South indians make amazing non veg dishes.
@@necromancerbb he said he didn't miss
Now, I need to go make idlis! 😂. I rarely make my Indian dishes anymore, mainly because it’s just me and ALWAYS end up wasting too much. That reminds me though, I need to order some tamarind. I had a craving for tamarind rice last week and realized I’m out. The one thing I DO consume daily? My home made chai. 😁. When I first began visiting the Ganesh Temple in Flushing almost 20 years ago; I talked one of the cooks down in the canteen to teach me how to make some of the dishes they were serving. I became addicted to REAL chai very quickly and still make at least a gallon a day..😂. (Much more when my kids visit. In fact, my youngest loves my spice mix so much, she asks for a large jar for her birthday and uses it for many different recipes besides tea.
Oh my my..
Speaking of tamarind. It reminded me having a sweet tamarind and chilling with my friend over green meadows of Kerala. Ah childhood memories.
if you have too much food just freeze it. Indian food freezes well, always great for days you dont want to cook.
@@johnk2106 Can I actually freeze idli? What about rice dishes like biryani and puliogare (tamarind rice). Perhaps I do it incorrectly; but when I attempt to freeze rice dishes, it has a strange texture & sometimes strange taste. Thanks in advance!
@@elaineg60 Yes you can freeze Idli, we buy half of our indian dishes frozen from the Indian store. They sell family pack idlis that we heat up in the microwave, just heat for 1 minute for 2 and 2 minutes for 4, cover with a wet paper towel. Its a easy breakfast on lazy mornings. Any of the curries freeze fine as well for us, id say use it within 2-3 months to avoid freezer burnt taste. I dont freeze rice since its so easy to make and best fresh, but from a lot of the prepackaged frozen indian food ive eaten the rice is half cooked. It finishes cooking when its heated up in the microwave and becomes soft.
Admit it, we've all probably come back to watch this video every once in a while
....
3rd time already
Feels good
I came back too.
Why can't someone like food network do this type of show and feature a family restaurant in each episode across the country and tell their story? A family like this represents the American dream.
I eat here from time to time. What you see here is exactly what you get! The owner is always there making sure everything is perfect, and the food is always on point. Fantastic lowkey place.
Absolutely amazing to witness their gratefulness, their passion, and their promotion of their culture through food and family. Tears almost swelled when the man at the end of the vid said he wouldn't miss anything else on Earth because he already has everything he wanted. Truly a blessing :))
as a heavily cultured latino male from california i must say indian cuisine is the most flavorful food i’ve ever had and the care that they put u can easily feel the culture within the food it’s amazing
Never had a single negative experience with Indian people and I have come across hundreds of them. Genuine people.
Not gonna lie, I dig these Food Network type shows, but Food Network only has stupid cupcake shows now.
thePowerPlant o I reckon - also need to get rid of cut throat kitchen, bobby flay, mystery diners...
thePowerPlant
Yeah. What happened to showing the original Iron Chef or Emeril Live? I miss those days.
thePowerPlant so true, I can't stand those cupcake shows.
thePowerPlant 💯
I love this family. They have good values, love each other and treat their staff like family. If I'm ever in the area, I would make it a point to go to their restaurant and eat there. I love the mom and dad, so sweet!😊
I'm 199th like not the lucky person to give you 200th like 😁
Man they are so happy, humble, and satisfied with their life. I hope I can attain this peace. I’m a Jat Sikh and always hungry 😋
I need to eat some Uttapams (satvik foods)
You seemed to have found the sweetest Indian family owned US business. Good scouting.
Thank you America for accepting

What a positive, practical, kind and beautifully "no nonsense" group of people...
Fantastic.
Beautiful.. Really enjoyed it. There concept of Family with the employees is Great..
Something black ppl can learn a lot from
Rhyme905 no need for sayin that, i bet you will see the same secene in all the family run soul food restaurant as well
I am from Darjeeling. The owner has so much positive vives, which has ripple effects, so every one is working so diligently with pleasure that reflects on their faces. They have taken their jobs as passion.Mr. Iyengar seems so much spiritual. May God bless them. So coperative to each other. We should learn from them that we should not be selfish, should think for entire family.
Holy ish! I’m like just with that one saying (belief) makes me wanna be vegetarian! I love Indian people.
Trust me you won't regret
Onely bramins are vegetarians
Probably the most heart-felt episode yet from Munchies.
I'm less than 2 minutes into the video and I had to stop and post this: what a nice family. I think the warm 'n fuzzies are creeping up on me! (I'm not an adventurous eater, but I'm digging these people...)
indian respect family and education for their children at top most priority ...they live with atleast 3 generations at one place sometime family sizes exceed 30-40 members even maternal side families are treated equally if they live nearby...but sometims it is also very hard on kids they cant refuse to obey elders easily like families feed their children even up to the age of 30-40 if he is not earning likewise sons/daughters has to keep parents with them they cant send in to old age ..this is considered bad in society...
Hey! The food is actually really healthy so you can try it out and not have a diarrhea at the end of it.
I love Indian food. I had it so many times in Saudi Arabia. I am eager to get it in the USA. These are great honest hard-working people. Good bless.
A Bengali here, I feel so amazed and spellbounded by the love they ooze out! My heart goes to them. Wonderful family... I hope and pray that you people can continue doing what you love, forever and ever and ever....
Awesome perspective on a culture and food that I don't really know well at all. Heart warming!
Really heart warming video, makes me want to try south Indian food. :)
+LUESoldat or just flap a burger on a grill and chug some beers to make up for the shot taste.
umm we don't use pita bread
LUESoldat Your attitude / cooking is making you miss out on some great food
I'm lucky to be surrounded in other cultures food as authentic as it can get here in the UK. and I think you should deffo try some Indian foods. Dosa's rule. Properly nice people too, unlike some of the other cultures round here at least.
Savisto Home not just South Indian food. I've never ever had an Indian food and got disappointed. They are pure genius in using spices and make an unforgettable food with the simplest cheapest ingredients.
I am a Bengali Indian, but I can't begin to describe how much I love and cherish South Indian food. India is so diverse when it comes to food. I am so glad that I have been able to taste and relish cuisines from almost every part of the country, and to say that I am fond of it is a gross understatement :) . It's been almost 7 years since my first encounter with the myriad platters of food from Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala ...and I just can't do without at least one South Indian meal a day
South Indian food is hands down the best! I love what the Iyenger family is doing. This video truly highlights the emphasis Indians place on their families ❤️
I actually agree with him about what eating meat does to your thought process and your thinking. I stopped eating meat several years ago, and I noticed a HUGE change in my anger/aggression/frustration levels. I used to feel extreme rage. And since I stopped eating meat, anger doesn't overtake me.... this is obviously just a personal anecdote but not eating meat anymore made me so much calmer.
I had the same experience. I was hard core non vegetarian and it made me aggressive
its not you but my younger brother used to eat meat like a LOT, since he stopped eating couple of years back, he has calmed down a lot. In past he used to be angry , pissed off frustrsted all the time for no reason
Syd Lane Wow this makes me realize that maybe eating non-veg is what causing my younger brother to become so aggressive that he recently strangled me and beat me up. He started acting very violent and aggressive in last few years. He was even suspended from college and when he got a job he was kicked from there too. All this happened in last few years since he started eating non-veg.
100% agreed, I noticed some time after changing my diet that I was a lot calmer.
You are absolutely right, that is my experience too. Now, I am a complete vegetarian.

So many racist hate comments. If you don't like anything in a particular culture, please keep it to yourself, as you're targeting a whole strata of people. Hate will only increase this way.
Look who's talking about racism. Do you know how racist Indians themselves are towards Africans and towards North East Indians??
Indians are a hypocritical bunch, going off about racism in the West even as a whole host of them still prefers to live on in the West rather than India, yet unabashedly direct racist expletives and pejoratives towards other ethnic groups without any remorse.
@@gaurangkarmakar4046
The video's showing South Indians though, they're not really racist against outsiders which is why most NE Indian migrants are shifting to South Indian cities rather than live in places like Delhi where they're discriminated against.
@@theevilpranksterFirst of all, South Indians, who BTW are a subset of Indians people, are very much racist against other communities. Kannadigas especially, who resent the fact that non Kannadigas have taken over Bangalore, just like Marathis resent the fact that non Marathis have taken over Mumbai. Kannada people especially resent Tamils, their fellow South Indians, god damn it.
Don't give me the BS, South Indians are also very much racist, like the rest of India. More so the South Indians of Mumbai, who are even more parochial minded, as they often like to let out or even sell their properties only to fellow South Indians, since they feel only their fellow South Indians are trustworthy and that non Southies will cheat them or something (this my own Telugu friend told me, from Matunga, close to Dadar, which has a massive South Indian population).
@@theevilprankster I know your kind too well. When some great achievement by an Indian and/or some good aspect of India and Indian culture civilization is showcased, then you lot will start owning the achievements of that individual and/or wax eloquent about the GREAT INDIAN CIVILISATION and how you are proud of being Indian and how you stand united with your fellow Indians (even if the Indian achiever in question doesn't belong to your particular community) since then you don't see any particular community.
BUT when some ignoble aspect of Indian society is brought forward, you lot start seeing region and community and say that this is only fault of one set of Indians. SPLIT PERSONALITY at it's diabolical worst.
@@gaurangkarmakar4046 Oh look, a western apologist... I'm not a racist so I will complain when I hear racist comment anywhere in the world including India. Just because some Indians are racists, are good Indians supposed to keep quiet when they hear racist comments about themselves and others? Should they stay quiet because some of their countrymen are racists. In that case, the whole world should keep quiet because there are racists every where. What a stupid thought .
I'm from Karnataka! My father hails from Mysore too...
This video just took through a beautiful journey! There's a different feeling watching our people in abroad, doing so good, spreading goodness!
You find a lot of vegetarians here, I'm one too!
People are warm n have zero ego!
We feed people from our hearts, there's a saying here "Athithi devo bhava" meaning "The guest is God"!
This way of treating people with respect is what most of us follow here...

There's one in Queens, NYC 😂😂😂😂
we have one here lfijfrifqwas

The one in Edison is handsdown the best
A very beautiful insight into indian diner-style restaurant world. I found the family aspect of the restaurant towards its workers and customers to be very interesting and heartwarming. Great video.
There is a partial ugly truth about inbreeding but the ugliness is because we focused more on the intelligence than external beauty.
@Bingo Wingz how did you comment from the year 1500?
The smile on that man is so genuine and contagious. What a fantastic family!
Love this family, keeping ever tradition alive..Even being thousands miles away from their homeland. Keep up the work..
oh hey my town is on munchies! I love indian food, theres a ton of asian food in Edison!
I'm Indian and I went to Edison for the first time last year. Seriously, wtf Indian invasion XD. And I thought Artesia/LA county was the Indian-american centric community. Nope, definitely NJ.
You can only smile and watch in wonder of these simple people ...making indians proud
truly soulful
@Bingo Wingz dint look st them and don't see this video if it affects you so much.
by the way,ugliness is in your mind
I've been here a few times. It's as good as it looks. The family is so passionate about what they do, and it shows.
My family is South Indian, and they always trust Swagath to do it best
I feel so happy and proud as a Indian after watching this video , these folks are carrying and preserving the traditions of Indian food culture and its values, god bless them😊

He is so proud about being a brahmin. Thank God He can say that out loud!
only in US. Here in India he will be abused for saying it.
That is what I was happily shocked about. In India, if you say you get hate-messages.
@@Dineshmurugaiyan there's no discussion about non-brahmins, if he is proud about his origins doesn't mean he devalues others, you can be equally proud about your origins if there is anything to be proud about
@@Dineshmurugaiyan So you have a problem with a proud Brahmin? As far as I saw in the video, the guy was not a tad bit disrespectful to others.
@@Dineshmurugaiyan Dude you cannot tell someone not to be proud about themselves. There are numerous reasons for him to be proud about his caste (Don't even ask. No ones gonna enlist them for you). And as I said before you can be proud about your self if there is anything at all to take pride. Period. Don't preach others on what they must do and what not.
One of the most humble family that I have ever come across. 😍
One of my favorite restaurants in the east coast. The owner is so friendly, it felt like home. I just love it
Geniuely great people, this I am not saying as a Indian, but the dedication they have for their work, that is cooking, really fell proud for such kind people! Hats off!
I like their energy. Very positive and optimistic
Awwww the pride this family takes in their food & culture is heart warming, I guess I’m crossing the bridge from NY to NJ soon!
this brought tears to my eyes, such a beautiful logic and family
I'll give him a ton of credit. For some who didn't notice something( definitely the non-Indians), the man's a polyglot and well versed in atleast 3 south indian languages. And to find such dedication towards Indian cooking is really rare here in the U.S.
I am Maharashtrian & I love Idli & Dosa, It was my breakfast during school days as it so easy to make. These people are giving the authentic food experience to to everyone.
M so happy they are sending such nice vibes about Indian family tradition and culture. I really thank them...🙏
I used to work in a restaurant where we treated each other like family, we ate together, etc. Needless to say, I never missed a day of work, I worked over time, an no matter how tired I was I loved working there.
finally some unique content from munchies again!
lmao tho at how the indian son had to drop hes a doctor tho
Looking for validation 😝
thanks you Munchies/Vice for this video...keep up the good work
Very different content covered this time..well done Munchies! Also, covering the devotion part was a great idea; it being an integral part of Indian life seldom gets highlighted. Kudos!
I love, love, LOVE this story !! To feel connected in a Business, is to feel part of it.. and TO BE part of it. Food for thought - they are doing something right! 👍😬❤️❤️❤️❤️🎉
This was a very great and genuine video Munchies, thank you
May your family and you get all the happiness you deserve,really hard working people
i fallen in love, how they speak to us , total strangers, i love it
A friend recommended this place and every time we are in NJ/NY area, we never miss going here. Love this place. I still remember, when our kid was all of 3 years and Mr. Sesha got him "bele obbaTTu", which we did not even ask for. He also had a bunch of those packed, without charging us. We believe he just wanted the little one to experience the dessert item. This courteous, generous, hospitality is rarely seen and visiting this place is a homely experience. Never miss their rasam/saaru that they provide as welcome drink. Overall a wonderful experience - food and service, every time.
Why the shit can't everyone act like these people?
Philip Baylon Yha Indians value family and education above all else.
Fahad Baig makes sense. You see the product it produces.

This is beautiful. Indian food is amazing, I personally love it. Highly underrated.
Beautiful capture. I think it gives you a sense of pride to understand, own and move forward with the trust on your humble beginnings.
