Looking for dishes to try this summer? Unpopular opinion, summer doesn’t have to be more irritable and lethargic than usual. How? You ask? The answer lies in – food that cools you down!
Summers are strange times for food cravings. Some want something cool and light while others indulge in spicy meals that expel the extra heat out. At Swagath, we totally get it. And that’s why our North Indian restaurant menu for the season is all about balance. Here you will get dishes that cool you down, revive your taste buds, and still feel like a real, satisfying meal.
Let’s take you on a summer food trail through the most refreshing North Indian picks you should definitely try this season.
Summer is a season where hydration and digestion become the top priority. But it messes with your appetite. Heavy gravies, deep-fried snacks, and creamy desserts might taste great, but they’re not always the kindest to your body during this time.
That’s where our summer-specific meals step in. At Swagath, we’ve designed our offerings with that in mind. We prepare lighter curries, grilled starters, refreshing drinks, and desserts that don’t knock you out into a food coma.
Here’s what you’ll find yourself ordering again and again at Swagath for dishes to try this summer:
Palak (spinach) is high in iron and easy on the stomach. Add to that sweet corn kernels and a mildly spiced gravy, and you’ve got the kind of dish that comforts without making you feel sluggish. It’s creamy, but in a way that still feels clean and healthy.
Simple. Satisfying. Summer-perfect. Potatoes tossed with cumin and fresh herbs are a childhood classic for many of us. This dish feels nostalgic and light, and it pairs beautifully with tandoori roti or plain paratha.
Bright colours, crunchy textures, and a tangy kick — jalfrezi is that stir-fried curry that ticks all boxes. Loaded with seasonal vegetables, it brings in freshness and variety, making it a top pick for those who want fibre and flavour on the same plate.
Paneer is high in protein and easy to digest. Marinate it in mint, grill it to perfection, and you’ve got a starter that tastes cooling and rich at the same time. This one is a crowd favourite at Swagath — especially when paired with green chutney.
Broccoli is a fantastic summer veggie because it’s light, vitamin-rich, and naturally refreshing. When roasted with yoghurt and spices in the tandoor, it gets this slight smokiness that elevates the dish without overpowering its fresh vibe.
You don’t have to give up meat in the summer — you just have to choose it right.
Creamy, mellow, and perfectly grilled. This boneless chicken dish uses mild spices and rich marinade, but it doesn’t sit heavy on the stomach. Ideal for a summer dinner that feels special but still light.
Fish is lean and cooks fast, which makes it perfect for hot days. Our ajwain-spiced fish tikka is fragrant, slightly tangy, and melts in your mouth. A top pick if you want something protein-packed and refreshing.
Okay, hear us out. Mutton can be rich, but when prepared right — like our juicy seekh kebabs grilled over a flame — it’s satisfying without being overwhelming. These are best enjoyed with mint chutney and a side of lemon wedges.
If you’re sweating just thinking about food, don’t worry. Swagath’s beverage menu has you covered.
Want to keep it light but still munch on something delicious? These are your best bets:
We get it — skipping dessert is hard. But no one wants a sugar crash when it’s already 40°C outside. Here’s what you can try without overdoing it:
Traditional, chilled, and texturally delightful. With layers of kulfi, vermicelli, and rose syrup, it’s nostalgic and refreshing.
Served in small portions, our warm desserts hit the right notes without making you feel too full. Just ask for the seasonal pick.
This colourful ice cream-based treat brings fun and flavour without being too rich.
We don’t believe in changing our entire identity for the season. We believe in tweaking it, refining it, and making sure our regulars still feel at home while also staying cool.
Whether you’re visiting us at Swagath Ambience Mall or ordering in, the summer experience is thoughtfully curated.
The next time you’re hunting for a North Indian restaurant that doesn’t overload your plate with butter and cream in this heat — think Swagath. We’ve balanced richness with lightness, spice with comfort, and tradition with summer sensibility.
From palak to paneer, buttermilk to broccoli, every dish on our menu has something cooling and satisfying to offer.
