Swadist: BYOB Indian on India Square, Jersey City

India Square is the best food stretch in Jersey City and almost entirely dry, so the honest happy hour advice is: buy a bottle and bring it. Swadist is BYOB and does it well.

What to Expect

No bar and no happy hour. Bring your own.

The Room

Opened in 2019 on India Square’s stretch of Newark Avenue, known for chicken curry and gosht kashmiri, with plenty of vegan and vegetarian options.

Before You Go

Check the BYOB policy if you’re bringing a group.
