Swami's is our fave place to go après beach walks with our goldendoodles sooo delicious and such kind people. Miss Ruby is awesome. Love the coffee, açaí & pitaya bowls , eggs Benedict... you've got to go enjoy this Cardiff by the Sea tradition

Swamis has been a God send to my Mother who is stuck in a nursing home. She looks forward to her fresh, healthy,delicious, and thoughtfully prepared meals everyday. On my daily calls we go over the menu and she decides what she wants for the next day . Lately it has been the curry soup that comes still hot and a 1/2 sandwich either the Albacore or California. The Uber delivery has been perfect and she says they have all been very courteous and greet her with a smile. I can't begin to thank you for the joy you bring my Mother and the comfort that you have given me by providing such outstanding and life sustaining support.Sincerely Stephen RussellVegetarian options: My mother is a vegetarian and almost every item on the menu if it's not vegetarian has a vegetarian option!

I just wanted to hop on here and thank Candance for the amazing service, she is a wonderful server and she made it feel like home. Our story begins outside where she greeted my grandmother and I. Frenchie's, laugh is contagious and she has a wonderful personality, according to my grandmother. We then decide to eat at Swami's because of her, Candance's service is exceptional. The whole experience was amazing and it made our day.

I love all the Swami’s restaurants, but this one seems to have the best chef. The food is just a tad better here.

Our neighborhood brunch spot, we come here often. The coffee is great, the food is delicious, and the service is always amazing. These people are a team and they really care about their guests.

Great place to go with family, kids, and whoever. You can bring dogs to the outside dining area. They have options for every dietary restriction (including beyond burgers). I had a delicious corned beef hash with gf multigrain bread, next time I'll try gluten-free French toast! The wait staff is wonderful, there are a ton of options, and the food is delicious for typical diner fare.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free bread and optionsKid-friendliness: There's a kids menu, they give kids a coloring sheet and crayonsWheelchair accessibility: No steps

I was dining with my lady. She wanted soup and saw the Curry Soup on the menu. Let me tell you avoid at all costs, no hint of Curry, not sure what it is, soup paste which has look of Curry, horrible. I'm not embellishing, I don't know what it is.. As for me, I ordered the Ruben sandwich, it was tasty, crazy level of oil-dressing, so it got sloppy right away, dang mess but it tasted good. Now here's the worse part, the place stunk, yeah like a 6 month old dirty mop. I think this place doubles as bar later at night, so it had that grimy, feel-stink to it, so it completely pulled from the food experience. On the positive, our waitress was nice, attentive, did her job and seemed like she enjoyed her position. BTW, our waitress even admitted the soup item was deceiving. Despite only eating 1/3rd out of pure hunger we received no discount on it and it cost like $10, total waste of money. So, no we won't go back for the smell or the subpar food.

Tasty food at reasonable prices. Service was quick and attentive. The atmosphere is pretty modern and noisy due to all the hard surfaces. Outdoor dining sits next to cars driving in and out of the parking lot.
A really good place to go with your dog. I think she enjoyed it more than I! Food is always good.

That’s s place is a run down, dirty dump that offers okay at best food and below average service. On top of that, they charge you an additional fee to use your credit card. I’m shocked that this restaurant is still in business.

It was just okay. The chilaquiles were great but the hamburger was dry. And the French fries had potential but were under cooked. My daughter says that they are normally better but this was our experience.
Very good
