If you expect anything about Swamis at any of their locations you can expect consistently great food in epic portions, the family that owns Swamis are born and bred San Diegans who completely get the beach vibe lifestyle and it shows on their cusine. Don't sleep on any of their menu items because they're all bangers and there's something for everyone even Vegans, not too hungry they have a fresh juice bar, totally starving they got a hearty plate of chorizo Hash, want to eat something sweet but not fall off your diet they got a pitaya bowl. Which brings me to their crown Jewel the Acai bowl it's enough for 2 and loaded with all sorts of delicious good for you fuel to keep you doing cartwheels in the sand all day long. Literally the best Acai bowl I the US and I'll fight anyone who disagrees. Service is fast prices aren't totally skyrocketed and you'll probably have leftovers for another meal. Tell em Johnny boy sent ya.

This is an amazing place, the service was the best part of the experience. Here I think everyone is a bilingual so that is a plus. The chilaquiles with chicken was really amazing dish. Very well done with a magic flavor I from Mexico and this is exactly that flavor over there. The waitress super cute and polite all the time putting attention at the table.

I called and ordered takeout, paid for it, and they gave me the wrong order. Orders were completely different — I couldnt even eat the meal they have given to me if i wanted to. Called back and they told me to come back and pick up the meal that had already been sitting there for 20 minutes at this point. Not even a fresh plate for their mistake. By the time I would’ve eaten the meal, it would’ve been cold and soggy. No compensation was offered for having to fight my way back through weekend village traffic and find parking again, so i requested a refund and don’t plan on trying this place again.

Relaxed place to grab a bite. Good portions. The kids pancake is enough for 2 toddlers! Lots of vegetarian and vegan options. Friendly staff.

Had a large to-go order (breakfast). The staff was amazing (helped carry it out to the car) and everyone loved the food.
Eggs Benedict came with well seasoned ham that was perfectly prepared.

My kids grilled cheese bread was very burnt. My ahi tuna sandwich was not good. I couldn't finish it. Though we ate at 2pm and they close at 3pm they were already shutting down. Disappointed.

We stopped into Swami’s in Carlsbad for brunch and had such a great experience! For food, we ordered the Chicken Teriyaki so good, tender, and flavorful. I also got the Buffalo Burger, but swapped the bacon for an extra egg, which was a perfect choice. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. On the drinks side, I tried the iced matcha latte with 2% milk light, refreshing, and just right. I also had a double dirty chai (hot), which was absolutely amazing, my boyfriend even said it tasted like it was made just for me. The bitter but had a slight sweetness to it, exactly how I like it. We sat outdoors since the weather here is so much nicer than back home in AZ and humid TX absolutely perfect for enjoying brunch. Service was quick and friendly, and our server even shared that the restaurant is named after a nearby meditation center, which was such a cool tidbit.
The location is great too on a quiet street, just a short walk from the beach and the village center. Relaxed vibe, great food, and friendly service. Definitely a spot we’ll be coming back to!

Poor Quality food. Ordered the waffle and chilaquiles and the waffles were soft and mushy ,not crispy, and covered in a nauseous sweet sauce . Chilaquiles are equally bad the chips were very greasy . The service was attentive when I asked about the waffles not being crispy the server suggested I needed to ask for them to be crispy. I've never heard of waffles that were not light and crispy . These were served heavy and mushy . I will definitely not be back and definitely don't recommend this place.
