DAWAT has built a name for itself catering for weddings over the years, we have now opened up a take-out restaurant for all to enjoy :) DAWAT mission is to bring you quality food at a low price. By cutting out most overhead costs and buying in bulk, we guarantee the best bang for you hard earned buck.
Taken together, Dawat is celebrated for consistently fresh, flavorful Indian cuisine with authentic Punjabi notes, where freshly made naan, generous samosas, butter chicken and well seasoned curries lead the way, and takeout or delivery is reliable and delicious. Warm, friendly service from a family run team adds to the appeal, even during busy times, and the range of dishes from tikka rolls to biryanis showcases depth and care. Generous portions and good value complement the convenience of pickup or delivery, and a recent reopening near home helps keep the same quality and hospitality. Dawat stands out as a dependable go to for home meals and catering in the Montreal area, with consistent visits and a strong sense of hospitality.
We recently ordered from Dawat for the first time & thoroughly enjoyed our food: palak paneer, Baingan Bharta, & naan. The two dishes were delicious, & the naan was soft & had that fresh from the tandoor taste. I haven't tasted naan this good since a favourite restaurant of mine, where they made it in the tandoor in front of the customer, closed down. We also appreciated that the food was packaged to avoid leaks & to keep the naan warm & soft. The price was also lower than other places we usually order from. We will definitely be ordering from Dawat again.
Be aware that this is not an eat-in place - I always get takeout
This is one of my favorite places to get food. I eat here once or twice a week, & it's always so good. The naan is freshly made & tender. The samosas are large & delicious, with abundant sauce on the side. The chicken has great flavor.

I've ordered takeout from here twice now & it's been fantastic both times. The food is always fresh, very flavorful, & you can tell the kitchen really knows what they're doing. Everything tastes authentic & well made.
I'm especially happy to have such a great Indian spot in the West Island-it's so nice to have something this good close to home.
My only small wish is that the meals automatically came with rice or naan when ordering. Aside from that, everything has been excellent & I'll definitely keep coming back!
Amazing Indian restaurant! The food was full of flavour - especially the butter chicken & fresh naan. Service was friendly & fast, & the staff gave great recommendations. The atmosphere was warm & cozy, perfect for a relaxed meal. Highly recommend!
Amazing food! Definitely best on the West-Island. Delicious, fresh, flavourful & good portions. A must must try. Family run too, with such kind & warm service while being so busy. Its our go to place from now on!
Suggested by my friend, loved the food from Daawat.The food was fresh & well-prepared, & the service was smooth. The receptionist deserves special mention for her friendly attitude, clear communication, & welcoming smile. Highly recommended!' They don't have dine in. Good for pickup or delivery.

The Punjabi food here is absolutely delicious-rich flavors, perfectly balanced spices, & portions that feel truly homely. Every dish tasted fresh & authentic, just like a proper home-cooked meal. The service was warm, attentive, & made the experience even better. A must-visit spot if you're craving real Punjabi hospitality & cuisine!
Its the first time I ordered from this place & I must say, the portion & quality of food is top notch. Everything was delicious & freshly made. Less options but mouth watery.
Their food is always freshly made, they welcome you with a big smile on face, super welcoming & the best part food is amazing & shows that they prepared with love.
Whenever I am around even if i have to take a detour to grab their food i do, totally worth it.
My personal favourite- Fish Pakoras, veg pakoras, tandoori chicken & fresh Lassi !
We ordered Uber Eats & we enjoyed an amazing dining experience with Dawat takeout. We ordered the Lamb Biryani, Garlic Naan, Chana Masala & potatoes. Everything was absolutely delicious! The lamb Biryani was loaded with succulent pieces of lamb & with just the right amount of spice to keep it most enjoyable. The Chana Masala had just the right balance of spice & flavour not to mention it was overflowing with chickpeas. The garlic Naan was fresh, flavourful & a perfect accompaniment to the Chana Masala. In the end, as hard as it is to believe, there was just enough leftover Biryani for lunch the next day. I finished this off with ease & I cannot recommend Dawat enough if you're looking for a truly satisfying meal. Thank you Dawat!

Exceptional Service & Delightful Indian Cuisine at Dawat I recently had the pleasure of dining at Dawat in Montreal, & I must say, the experience exceeded my expectations in every way. One of the standout aspects of our visit was the incredibly swift service. We were in a bit of a hurry, & the staff at Dawat went above & beyond to accommodate us, managing to serve our entire order within just 10 minutes. While I'm sure such rapid service may not always be the norm, it certainly left a lasting impression on us. Now, onto the food-each dish was nothing short of perfection. We started with the fish pakora, which was an absolute delight. The pakoras had the perfect amount of crunch, & the accompanying chutney was a flavor-packed complement that elevated the dish. The mutton curry was another highlight of the meal. The mutton was cooked to tender perfection, with the rich, aromatic gravy infusing every bite with deep, satisfying flavors. It's clear that a lot of care goes into the preparation of their curries, as the depth of flavor was truly remarkable. The dal makhani was just as impressive. It was creamy, well-seasoned, & had the comforting, hearty taste you'd expect from this classic dish. The palak paneer was another winner; the paneer was soft & fresh, while the spinach gravy was flavorful & well-balanced. Every dish we ordered was outstanding, showcasing the authentic flavors of Indian cuisine with precision & care. From start to finish, our experience at Dawat was top-notch, & I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious Indian meal in Montreal.
The chicken wraps are delicious, filling & well worth the price. The bread is fresh & chewy with a generous amount of chicken & garnished with lettuce & sauce. The interior is the restaurant is very small with only a few tables but definitely worth the trip to go & eat here.
