Award-Winning East Indian Restaurant on St. Mary's Road
Good food, great memories. Desi Swag brings the bold flavours of East Indian cooking to south Winnipeg with rich curries, tandoori specialties, fragrant biryanis and a weekday and weekend buffet. Join us for dine-in at 1220 St Mary's Road, or order online for takeout and delivery across St. Vital.
Every dish at Desi Swag starts with the classics of North Indian cooking: slow-simmered curries, tandoori meats cooked over live coals, and basmati biryani layered the traditional dum way. Our kitchen tunes the spice to your taste and plates generous portions, which is how we became a go-to East Indian restaurant for families and groups across St. Vital and south Winnipeg.
These are the plates our Winnipeg guests come back for, made to order with freshly ground spices. From creamy butter chicken to dum-cooked biryani, each one is a taste of authentic East Indian cooking on St. Mary's Road.
Our most ordered main. Tandoor-roasted chicken simmered in a velvety tomato and cream gravy, finished with butter and a whisper of dried fenugreek. Scoop it up with garlic naan or pair it with basmati rice.
A North Indian classic. Chicken marinated overnight in yogurt and spices, charred in the tandoor, then folded into a rich tomato masala balanced with cream and garam masala. A Winnipeg crowd-pleaser.
A top-selling rice dish. Fragrant basmati layered with spiced marinated chicken and whole spices, sealed and slow-cooked dum style. Crowned with fried onions and fresh mint, served with cooling raita.
Our favourite vegetarian option. Cubes of fresh paneer tossed with bell peppers and onions in a hand-ground kadhai masala, cooked fast over high heat in the wok. Served with naan or rice.
Indo-Chinese comfort food and the table's first casualty. Crisp fries tossed in a sticky honey-chilli glaze that lands sweet, spicy and tangy all at once, scattered with sesame and spring onion.
The way to finish a meal. Golden milk dumplings fried soft and soaked in cardamom and rose syrup, served warm with a scatter of pistachio. Best with a cup of masala chai.
Step into Desi Swag and you will find a lounge-style room built for long dinners, birthdays and family gatherings. Traditional recipes meet contemporary plating, with plenty for vegetarians alongside our tandoori and curry menu. Our buffet runs on weekdays and weekends with a rotating spread of appetizers, mains, desserts and chai, so you can taste your way across the menu in a single visit.
