Category: Good local place.
Verdict: Very satisfying Indian food from both north and south.
Swapna is on Cobb Parkway near its intersection with I-285.  It is a very simple place, located in a former chain restaurant with no adornment.  Several Indian families ate Sunday dinner.

The restaurant serves both north and south Indian.  I was interested in some meat, so I ordered a chicken tikka skewer thali.  The generous serving spills over the edges of the photo.  The meat was served on a sizzling platter.  The naan was fresh out of the oven.  Overall, this was a satisfying, homey meal.

Marietta: The Big Chicken and Other Sights

The Big Chicken in on Cobb Parkway in Marietta is a Georgia landmark. If you haven't seen it, you haven't seen Georgia. As you can see, the beak moves. I understand it was designed by a Georgia Tech grad. It's been there for 40 years and I presume that it is burned into the consciousness of children all around Georgia.

I also took the opportunity to stop by Harry's Market, which is off the same exit of I-75. I stopped because I've seen it on Alton Brown's show. It turns out that it is a Whole Foods by a different name. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but there's no point in me driving 30 minutes to shop at a slightly larger version of what I have down the street.
